AUGUST GOLDFEIN, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO,

' :TBAP on u'oulos'.

Be it known that 1, AUGUST "GOLDFEIN, a

citizen "of the:Uni'ted States, and a resident "of Gleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Imrovement in" Traps for Liquids, of which the ollo'wing: is a specification, the principle of theinvention being herein explained and tle bestfniode in which I have contemplatedap-. 'plyin'g that principle,'so as to distinguish it i from other lnventions. v My inventionrelates to devices for catch 'ing the waste water and refuse which is discharged by the wasteipes. of ice-boxesor refrigerators, its object lieiug to providea device of said character which will be simple, durable, and whiclififlll be free from the possibility of..becoming clogged. Said invention consists of means hereinafter fully described,

and particularl set forth in the claim,

The annexe drawings and the following descri tion set forth in detail certain means .embo ying the invention, such disclosed means constituting but one of various me- .chanical forms in which. the principle of: the

invention may be, used.

swu over its center of gravity. At the same im'e it can be raised sufficiently high to permit ready cleansing, as shown in dotted outline, Fig. 1. Other means, as a lug on the u per side of arm b, might be used to attain tlih sanieend, the usefulness of which is at once apparent. The height of run a from the bottom of the basin is made somewhat less than the depth of the cap. Upon the interior of the rim 0/ are formed four radial and inwardly-projecting lugs a, integral w th said rin'nq I In the application of the above-described device a waste-water pipe C is caused to pro- -jectrup'. through and from the floor 1) di- -rectly beneath the Waste-pipe E of the refrigerator and has its upper end externally threaded to receive the internal thread of the The latteris screwed securelyupon the said pipe, as shown, such action being facilitated by lifting the cap, as shown in dotted lines, and inserting into opening a a wrench suitabl constructed to engage the lugs a as wil be readily understood. In the same manner these lugs also facilitate the the rim (if-it flows overinto opening a. While, especially designed to serve as a trap for the waste water from ce-boxes or refrigerators, I do not mean to limit the application of my invention to such service alone, as it is adapted in general to serve as a trap for liquids containlng solid matter which would tendto stop up the d scharge pipe or opening provided for .the liquid.

' Other modes of applying the principle of e employed instead oi the one explained, change eing made as regards the meansherein disclosed, proyided the means stated by the following claim or p ey I disengagement ofthe basin from the pipe.

When the level of the water exceeds tlns heightthe plane of the top of -IIO I therefore particularly point out and distinetly-elaim as my invention- In a trap for liquids, the combination ol an open reeeptaelc provided with a central wall of said receptacle; and an arm formed integral with said cap and pivoted in said seal such arm Being adapted to engage with [5 the upper side of ziid seat'bet'ore said}ca.'p is raised over its center of gravity.
