l Specification of Letters Patent. r

` ratenied April 3o, 1907.

Application filed April-17, 1906.` Serial No. 812,186.

ed certain new and useful Improvements in Sieves for Sinks and the Like, of which vthe following is a specification. l

My invention relates to sieves usedin con- 4nection with sinks, wash-basins and the like to hold back sediment, threads, hair and other matter liable to clogthe waste-pipe.

The sieve invented by 111e is of the removable type, and is`,of an improved construction s as to renderit very effective, readily accessible, and simple as well as inexpensive to K manufacture. .i

-The invention will be fully described hereinafter and the features of `novelty pointed out in the appended claims.

Reference is to be had to theaccom'panyin drawings, in which kis form a series of tongues `gure l is a top view of my invention as applied to a sink; Fi .y 2 lis a horizontal section on line 2-2 of Fig. 3 Fig. 3 is a vertical section on line 3-3 of Fig. 1`; Fi 4 is a side elevation of the sieve or strainer s lown alone,

Vand Fig. 5 is atop view of another form of strainer.

A designates the body of the sink, washbasin. or the like, pre vided With an outletinl Which is set the u per end of the waste pipe B. This u'pper e ge is ex anded and cut to which are bent outwardly into a socket orreccssA of the .body and serve as a means for holding the Waste pipe. lVithin the upper portion of said pipe is set loosely 'a sieve or strainer -for the urpose of catching any substances which might c og the pipes. b 0

The sieve is made of any suitable material, such as sheet metalor cast metal, and has a cylindrical body C, with a perforated rounded end C at thebottom, and an outwardlyextending flange C2 at the top. This Iiange is adapted to rest on an annular flange D projected inwardly at the lower end of a sleeve D2 set within the waste pipe B and secured to or made integral with a top ring lD resting on the tongues B. "lhe top member which comprises the top ring D, the sleeve D2 and the annular iiange D', forms not only a means for holding the sieve, but a tight joint with the upper end of. the waste pipe.

shoulder of the rin This top member is held by bolts E passing through said ringA D, two of the tongues or lugs B, and the body A, with nuts E )fitted against the lower surface of the-body. The top rinoi D is received vin the socketlor recess A The edge of the central openingof said .ring is formed with a seat `(for instance,` a

square shoulder) for a removable perforated dlsk or plate F.

In` order that the sieve may convene-v iently removed after the perforated jdiskhas been t'aken'ofi, I may provide a bail or handle G, pivoted or hinged to the u perendof the sieve, and normally' folde down asv shown in Figs. 2 and3.

In use, the perforatedtop late `allowing liquid to esca e, wil arrestniost Asubstances that would e liable to clog "thewaste pipe..

The per- V forated disk F maybe readily rcrnqved arid. cleaned, and then the bail G. may be turned up as in Fig. 4 andzused as a h'andleft'o'withdraw the sieve from the sink or the :like'It will be noted that the top member D, DHD2 and the waste pipe B need not be disturbed during these manipulations.

In a wash-basin, the customary plu may be substituted for the perforated disk' the D forming the proper seat vfor the usual Instead of the bail G, I may, as shown in Fig. 5, employ as a handle a s ider G which spider would be swung to lie above the 'flange ange of such plug, the Vbody of which would fit into the sleeve D'.

C2 and conceal it, as in Fig. 5. After lifting the sieve out,'using the spider as a handle, the spider -would lie-swung aside on its pivot G2, so that any matter which might have accumulated in the lsieve, could be. removed readily.

As' shown in Fig. 3, balls or lumpsH of a suitable deodorizeror antiseptic may be placed within the sieve 0r strainer.

I claim: 1. The combination of the body having an ICN aperture and being provided with arecess in its upper surface adjacent to the aperture, a

Weste pip-e extending through seid aperture and having e series of outwardly extending tongues fitted within seid recess, a top meniber comprising e ring adapted to rest on the series of tongues, a sleeve extending into the Waste pipe and a Hnge et the lower end of the sleeve etending inwardly therefrom, e sieve having en elongated body set Within the upper portion of the waste pipe and bee ing further provided with a projecting portion adapted to rest on the lenge of the said sleeve, e handle pivoted to the sieve and fastening devices for connecting the ring, tongues ot" 1the waste pipe and the body.

72. The combination of the body having en eperf` re aud being provided wlth e recess in 'sieve supported by seid top member end hevingau elongated. body extending into the Weste pipe', e perforated disk removably am @were aperture end being provided with e recess in 3o its upper surface adjacent to the aperture, e Waste pipe Afitted into said aperture end heving outwardly etendingtongues located at its upper' edge and tted Within the recess,
