COVER FOR STATIONARY WASHTUBS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 761,147, dated May 31, 1904.
Application filed September 29, 1902. Serial N0.125,144=. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, PHILO WILLIAM OAsLER,
a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Littlefalls, in the county of Herkimer and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Covers for Stationary Washtubs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to covers for stationary washtubs; and the object of the present improvement is to provide an inexpensive cover of this class having automatic means whereby perfect joints are maintained between or expand without affecting the shape of the cover.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of my improved cover. Fig. 2 is a sectional view of the cover, showing the yielding clamping device for the same. Fig. 3 is an enlarged detail view of the cover.
Similar letters refer to similar parts in the several views.
A represents the boards of which my improved cover is composed, said boards being preferably provided with tongue-and-groove joints A. These boards are held together by means of a yielding clamping device comprising a rod B, having a head B at one end and a nut B at the other. The outer board of the cover is provided with a cavity or socket C. Interposed between the bottom of this socket and the head of the-rod is a spiral spring D. This spring acts as a take-up or follower for the boards when the same shrink or contract. The spring permits the boards to expand without Warping or affecting the shape of the cover.
E represents bushings for the rods, which are so secured to the boards that they extend transversely across the joints of the boards, thus acting as dowel-pins and preventing any longitudinal movement of the rods and preventing any binding of same when the boards swell or expand. In order to prevent the said bushings from sticking to the boards when the same expand, the outsides of the bushings are made tapered toward the ends.
It will be seen that by the above construction I provide an inexpensive cover particularly adapted for washtubs or other articles by Letters Patent, is
1. A cover for stationary washtubs composed of a number of boards or strips loosely arranged side by side, a clamping-rod extending transversely through the strips, said rod being provided at its ends with beads forming stops for the outer strips of the cover, a spiral spring interposed between one of the said stops and outer strips of the said cover, bushing for the clamping-rod extending transversely across the joints of the strips, substantially as described.
2. A cover for stationary washtubs composed of a number of strips loosely arranged side by side, an elastic clamping device for the strips, in combination with means for preventing the strips from moving longitudinally, substantially as described.
3. A cover for stationary \vashtubs composed of a number of strips loosely arranged side by side an elastic clamping device for the strips, substantially as described.
4. A cover for stationary Washtubs com posed of a number of strips loosely arranged side by side a clamping-rod for said strips,
in combination with automatic transverse take-ups for the strips, substantially as described.
