WASHOUT CLOSET-RANGE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 534,062, dated February 12, 1 895.

Application filed September 4, 1894. Serial No. 522,038.. (No model.)

vTo all whom t may concern,.-

v Be it known that we, JOHN CLIFFORD and JOHN H. GAVIN, citizens of the United States, residing in Chicago, in the county of Cook 5 and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Washout Closet- Bauges, of which the following is a specification.

Our invention relates to improvements in ro the construction of washout water closet ranges designed for use in school and other buildings.

The object of our invention is to provide a washout closet range of al sanitary construcr 5 tion by dispensing entirely With all woodwork except the seat and with the necessity of supporting or connecting the back or partition slabs by or with the walls of the building or by the use of any Wood frame work in the range itself.

A further object is to provide a washout closet range of a strong, simple and durable f construction that may be easily manufactured and set up, and wherein the back and partiz 5 tion `slabs are supported on the range itself independently of the Walls of the building.

To this end our improvement consists in a washout closet range of cast iron or other suitable material having a series of partition 3o slabs and a back slab of like material, each of the back slabs being furnished with a horizontal iiange at its lower edge which rests directly upon and is bolted to the rim at the upper edge of the range, and to which hori- 3 5 zontal flange the seats are directly hinged, so

' that the back and partition slabs are sup- -ported directly upon the range itself independent of the Walls of the building and without rpndering necessary the employment of any wooden frame pieces.

The invention also consists in the novel devices and novel combinations of parts and devices herein shown and described and more particularly pointed out in the claims.

45 In the accompanying drawings which form a part of this specification, and in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure l is a perspective view of a washout closet range embodying our invention, and Fig. 2

'15o is an enlarged detail vertical cross section.

In the drawings A represents the closet range, the same being preferably of cast iron and furnished with a rim or horizontal flange a at its upper edge. As illustrated in the drawings two of these ranges are represented 5 5' as being set side by side.

B is the back slab, the same being furnished with one or more horizontal anges b at its lower edge according as the same is to be used with one or two ranges A. As shown in the 6o drawings this back slab is furnished with two horizontal flanges b b as it is shown in connection with two ranges A A. The back slab B is preferably of cast iron and is secured to the range A by threaded bolts b' passing 6 5 through the fiange b and the rim a of the range. The partition slabs C C are also preferably of cast iron and are each furnished with a marginal rim or flange cadapted to fit upon the rim or ange a at the outer or front 7o edge of the range A and secured thereto by bolts c passing through said flange c and said rim a. The back slab B is further provided with a series of vertical anges b2 to which the inner side edges c2 of the partition slabs 75 C are secured by bolts c3.

Each of the series .of seats D is hinged directly to the projecting flange b of the back slab B by a metal hinge D', one leaf or member of which is secured by a bolt d directly 8o to the projecting flange and the other leaf or member of which is secured to the seat on the under side thereof by a screw d2. As the flange b of the back B projects over the interior edge of the range A, this affords a means 8 5 of hinging the seat directly to the integral flange b'of the metal back B, and also brings the pivot and rear edge of the seat far enough away from the vertical back B to enable the seat to remain stable in its turned back po- 9o sition, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 2.

E represents the discharge opening, andl F F the Water supply pipes for flushing the ranges.

G G are the metal legs or supports which are screwed to the door, and upon which the range as a whole is supported.

We claiml. The .combination with a closet range A rco having rim or flange a, at its upper edge, of a back B having flange b at its lower edge resting upon and bolted to the rim aof the range and projecting over the interior edge of the range, partition C having flanges c secured directly to the rim of the range, and seats D having hinges D secured directiy to the projecting flange b of' the back B, substantially as specified.

2. In a closet range, the combination with the range A, of a back provided with a laterally projecting flange at its lower end and resting upon and secured to the range, and a seat hinged directly to the projecting flange of the back substantially as specified.

In a closet range, the combination with the range A, of flanged back B resting upon and secured to the range, partition C like- Wise resting upon and secured to the range, and a series of seats D hingedfto the flange of the back, substantially as specified.`

4. In a closet range, the combination with zo two parallel ranges A A having rims or flanges a. a, of a back B having double flanges bb resting directly upon and secured to said ranges A A, and two series of seats hinged to the flanges of said back, substantially as z5 specified.
