EUGENE II. SLOMAN, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN, COMPANY, OF DETROIT, MICHIGAN,
ASSIGN-OR TO SEAMLESS STEEL BATH TUB A CORPORATION OF MICHIGAN.
BATH-TUB Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Tune 9, 1908.
Application filed April 15, 1907. Serial No. 368,249.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EUGENE H. SLoMAN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bath-Tubs, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
The invention relates to new and useful improvements in sheet metal bath tubs, and consists in the means of attaching the leg to the tub by means of integral flanges, ribs, or lugs, struck up or peeled up from the surface of the metal in the tub, as more fully hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section through a portion of a sheet metal bath tub, showing the leg attached thereto by my improved means; Fig. 2 is a vertical section on line e ic of Fig. 1.
Sheet metal bath tubs of the type which are of ordinary porcelain and sold for house use, being a new article of manufacture, there has very little been done in the way of attaching the leg to such a tub.
Various parties have experimented during the past year with this problem, and quite a number of means of attachment have been suggested, all of which have some serious objection. My invention avoids the use of extra parts, does not damage the tub, and forms a cheap and expeditious securing means for the leg, the securing devices being integral portions of the sheet metal of the tub itself.
A represents the sheet metal tub, showing a portion of the side and a portion of the bottom, thereof at the point where the leg is attached. This is ordinarily made of about one-eighth inch stock. On the bottom of the tub, at the point where the leg is to be attached, I press up or cut up from the surface of the metal integral lugs or flanges, which form the securing means for the leg. In the particular embodiment of my invention here in shown, I have illustrated two flanges, a, squeezed up by dies from the surface of the tub, and bent over towards each other to form between a substantially dovetail groove, in which the horizontal tongue B of the leg C may engage, the sides of this tongue being correspondingly beveled to fit in the dovetail groove thus formed. At the end of the tongue B, and opposite the ends of the flanges a, I provide an aperture 1), into which a pin may be driven, which will prevent the endwise disengagement of the leg from the tub. The leg, as is usual, is provided with the upward extension D engaging the side of the tub, preventing its disengagement inwardly and aiding in supporting the surface upon which the leg rests. While this is a desired and preferred means of attaching the leg to the tub, it is obvious that other ways of attaching the leg would suggest themselves to mechanics, embodying integral flanges struck up from the surface of the tub, and I do not desire to be limited to this particular construction, as I'believe my invention includes any means of attaching the leg to the tub, through the medium of integral lugs struck up from the surface of the sheet metal of the tub itself.
What I claim as my invention is,
1. The combination with a sheet metal bath tub and its leg, of an integral outstanding flange forced up from the surface of the bottom thereof, and forming the means for holding the leg to the tub.
2. The combination with a sheet metal bath tub and its leg, of a plurality of securing flanges forced up from the surface of the bottom thereof, and with which a portion of the leg engages, and is secured to the tub thereby.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EUGENE H. SLOMAN.
