APPARATUS FOR APPLYING LIQUID DISiNFECTANTSOR PERFUMERY T0 WATER-CLOSETS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N 0. 713,977, dated November 1902- Application filed December 17,1901. Serial No. 86,199. (No model.)
To all whom it mag concern:
Beit known that I, GEORGE S. GALLAGHER, a citizen of the United States, residing at the borough of Manhattan, in the city, county, and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Apparatus for Applying Liquid Disinfectants or Perfumery to Water- Closets, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to devices employed in connection with thebowl of a Water-closet for containing either a disinfectant in fluid form and delivering the same into the bowl of the closet or for containing perfumery in liquid form and delivering the same therefrom, so that the perfumery. may'evaporate and the odor thereof permeate the air. In the under surface of the closet-seat and at one side I form a recess and provide a vessel fitting said recess or cavity, a means for filling the same, a means for discharging the contents thereof, a spring-actuated piston in a suitable case, and a rod and head for the piston.
The device for discharging the fluid from the vessel is connected to the cylinder, and the spring employed in connection with the piston normally supports the closet-seat in a substantially horizontal position. When the piston is moved through the cylinder as the seat is depressed,'a slight vacuum is efiected in the cylinder which causes a flow of a regulatable quantity of fluid from the vessel into the cylinder, and when the seat is released and the spring causes the piston and parts to assume a normal position the fluid in the cylinder is ejected.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section and partial elevation representing my the closet-seat and the devices of my improvement connected therewith. Fig. 3 is a vertical cross-section at the line was of Fig. 2, and Fig. 4 is a vertical longitudinal section at the line y y of Fig. 2. Figs. 3 and 4 are shown of exaggerated size for clearness. (1. represents the upper end or flushing-rim of a porcelain water-closet.
1) represents the seat, 0 the cover, and d the 1 cylinder.
bowl of the closet. In the under surface of the seat 6 and at one side I provide a cavity or recess, and an elongated rectangular metal vessel 2 is placed in the said recess. This vessel is provided with a filling-plug 2, and a plate of metal f fits over the under side of the closet-seat, and the said plate is secured to the seat, is provided with an opening for the filling-plug 2 and with an opening for the metal cylinder g, which fits therein, and is also received in a recess made in the under surface of the seat. This cylinder g has an exposed outer end and packing. A piston h is within the cylinder. A piston-rod h, connected thereto, passes through the exposed 'end of the cylinder and through the packing and is provided with a head 2' outside of the In the inner end of the cylinder there is a removable head 3, and between said head 3 and the piston there are a helical spring 4 and a disk 5, the disk 5 being against the piston and receiving one end of the spring.
Brackets 9, secured to opposite sides of the cylinder, are in turn secured either to the plate f or to the seat by screws passing through the brackets and through the plate f. The cylinder 9 is provided with lateral tubes 6, it, and Z. The vessel e is provided with a discharge-tube 7, and the tubes 6 and 7 are preferably connected by a flexible or bent tube. In the lateral tubes and Z there are stop-cocks that can be turned to open the orifice in said tubes or close the same ofi. (See specially Fig. 3.) The aperture from the vessel 6 into the tube 7 is quite small, and the same is closed by a needle-valve device 10, having a slight longitudinal movement in said tube '7.
Figs. 1 and 2 represent the normal position of the parts in which the seatb and cover occupy a substantially horizontal position, being supported in such position by the spring 4, the piston, piston-rod, and head, the said of the person sitting thereon the piston his moved up through the cylinder and the spring 4 is compressed. This movement creates a partial vacuum in the cylinder, which causes a movement of the valve 10 and permits a small quantity of the liquid contents of the vessel e to be discharged into the tube 7, down the tube 8, through the tube 6, and into the cylinder g. This position of the parts is shown in Fig. 3.
The vessel e may be filled with a liquid disinfectantorwithaliquidperfume. Where the disinfectantis employed, it is preferable to discharge the same directly into the bowl of the closet. This is accomplished by opening the stop-cock in the tube Z. Then when the weight upon the seat I) is relieved by the person rising the spring lreturns the piston and parts to a normal position and the force exerted ejects the fluid contents of the cylinder through the pipe Z into the bowl of the closet. This movement further closes the needlevalve 10, and it may hold some fluid confined within the tubes 6, 7, and 8. These movements are repeated in the same manner. Should the vessel e be filled with liquid perfume,i't is then desirable to discharge the same so that the perfume may evaporate and the odor be present in the air. To effect this, the stop-cock in the tube Z is closed and that in the tube is opened. Then with the movement of the piston from the position Fig. 3
to the position Fig. 4 the liquid perfume is.
ejected through the tubelc into the air. These parts are made small, neat, and compact, they are out of the way, and their presence is not so manifest as to be in any sense objectionable.
It is obvious that the devices hereinbefore described may be duplicated in the opposite side of the closet-seat, as shown by dotted lines, Fig. 2. Where two similar devices are employed as thus illustrated, it is evident that the seat will be supported at two points and the strain on the hinges be evenly dis tributed; also, that one metal vessel may be used for liquid disinfectant and the other for liquid perfume. I do not limit myself in the number of discharge-tubes employed to deliver the materials from the cylinders, as one or two may be in evidence with either one or two metal vessels in order to direct either or both of the liquids named in either or both directions.
I claim as my invention 1. The combination with the seat of a water-closet, of a vessel let into the under su rface of the seat, a piston spring-actuated in one direction and actuated by the depression of the seat in the opposite direction, a tubular part extending from the vessel to the pistoncylinder and connecting the same, and means for regulating the flow and discharge of the contents of the vessel, substantially as set forth.
