- TRAP CLEAN-OUT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 738,289, dated September 8, 1903. Application filed September 23, 1902. Serial No. 124,578. (No model.)
To to whom it may concern.-
Be it known that we, JOHN BUGKLEY, of the city of Everett, in the county of Middlesex, and J OSEPH W. BUOKLEY, of the city of Chelsea, in the county of Suffolk, State of Massachusetts, both citizens of the United States, have invented a new and useful Device for a Trap Clean-Out, of which. the following is a specification.
The invention relates to the form of traps used for house-plumbing, which are placed below the floor, for wash-bowls, bath-tubs, &c., and which have the clean-out opening below the water-line to insure a perfect seal against the escape of gases. W here it is necessary to leave an opening in the floor in order to reach the clean-out, the opening for those 110w in use must be left large enough to enable the workman to use a wrench to remove the trap-screw.
The obj cct of our invention is to render it unnecessary to leave an opening in the floor or to have a lined box to catch. the water from the trap as heretofore and at the same time to facilitate the cleaning of the trap. This we accomplish by a metal cup with a tapped or threaded opening in the side to screw onto a nipple in the trap below the water-line, the face of the nipple acting as a seat for a metal cover or plug, this cover to be forced to its seatby means of a toggle-joint leverand brace, the end of the brace resting in a socket in the farther side of the cup, as shown in the drawings. Attached to the other end of the brace is a lever, which is likewise attached to the center of the cover, the connection on the cover and brace being made in such a way as to form a togglejoint. The lever is made grooved, so as to fit over the brace when pushed down into place, thus closing the opening in the trap securely and at the same time locking the toggle so that it cannot become detached without lifting the lever with the hand, thereby enabling a person to remove the cover fromthe opening easily, allowing the water in the trap to flow into the cup, said cup having an extension to the surface of the floor, the cup and extension being four inches in diameter. Thus the water can be removed from the cup with a sponge and the hand without any trouble. hen the trap is closed and ready for use, there is a finished cover closing the opening of the extension at the surface of the floor.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation for a S lead trap with the metal cup attached thereto by the threaded nipple. The movable wall plug or cover is in place with the lever and toggle attached, the end of the brace resting in the socket upon the supporting-wall of the cup and the plate I covering the opening to the floor. Fig. 2 is a floor plan of the trap, showing the several parts in place with the floor plate or cover removed. Fig. 3 shows a vertical section and plan of the cup C with the extension Ill separated therefrom. Fig. 4 shows a plan and also a sectional view of the'threaded nipple B. Fig. 5 shows a side elevation and plan of the plug or cover D. Fig. 0 shows a plan, a side elevation, and an end view of the lever E. Fig. '7 shows a side and top view of the brace F. Fig. 8 is a plan of the floor-plate I shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 9 is a front elevation of the cup C, showing the tapped or threaded opening.
A represents the trap; B, the threaded nipple secured thereto by soldering.
Onto the threaded end of the nipple B is screwed the tapped or threaded cup 0. With in the cup is shown the movable wall plug or cover D, which is provided with ears or lugs to which is hinged the lever E. The lever E is fastened to the ears or lugs on the cover or plug D by pins or belts in such a manner as to form a hinge. To the lever E is also hinged in a similar manner the brace F. The end of the brace, as shown in the drawings, rests in the socket G on the interior wall of the cup 0. The whole,as shown in the drawin gs,forn1s a toggle-joint capable of forcing the cover or plug D to its seat against the nipple B with great power.
To close the opening to the trap, the plug or cover D is inserted into the cup O and the nipple B. The brace F is then allowed to fall into the projecting socket G, which is a part of the cup 0, the lever E being in the position shown in the drawings. It is then pushed downward to a horizontal position parallel to the brace F and at right angles to the cover or plug D. This action extends the toggle formed by the lever E and the brace F and floor, and I is a neat metal cover to close the opening of the extension II.
In practice the trap is joined at its lower end to a pipe connecting it with the sewer or drain. The end above the floor is connected to the bath or other fixture which the trap serves. After the trap is in position and the flooring laid the metal extension H is trimmed with a shears close above the floor and the edge turned down to a finish. A neat metal cover (shown in the drawings) closes the opening.
To clean the trap, the cover or plate I is removed and the hand is inserted into the tube H. The lever E is then grasped near the socket G and drawn upward. This action unlocks the toggle formed by the lever E and the brace F, releasing the cover D, which is then, with the lever and brace, removed from the cup 0. As the cup is large and the ex tension H makes it water-tight to the top of the floor, the water or liquid is retained therein and can be removed without-trouble.
WVe claim- 1. In combination, a trap having a cleanout opening in one side thereof, a plug for closing the same, a metal cup communicating with said trap through said clean-out opening, and. a brace or leverretaining said plug in place, substantially as described.
2. In combination, a trap having a cleanout opening in one side thereof, a plug for closing the same, a metal cup communicating with said trap through said clean-out opening, and a lever or brace bearing at one end on the Wall of said cup and at the other end engaging said plug to retain the latter in place, substantially as described.
3. In combination, a trap having a cleanout opening in one side thereof and near the bottom thereof, a plug for closing the same, a metal cup communicating with said trap through said clean-out opening, and having a socket in its interior'wall, and a lever or brace supported at one end in said socket and at its other end engaging said plug to retain the latter in place, substantially as described.
4. In combination, a trap having a cleanout opening in one side and near the bottom thereof, a plug for closing the same, a metal cup communicating with said trap through said clean-out opening and being connected thereto by a nipple, said cup having a socket in its interior wall, and a toggle, the end of one member of which rests in said socket, the other member being pivoted at its end to said plug, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof We sign our names to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
