OHIO, ASSI OF ONE-HALF TO FRIEDERICH .T. LANGER GNOR, BY DIRECT AND MESNE ASSIGNMENTS, AND ONE-HALF TO RICHARD B.
MOSER, BOTH FLUSHIN G DEVICE FOR SINKS, 85b.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EDWARD J. BROWN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and.
useful Improvements in Flushing Devices for Sinks, ing is a full, clear, and exact description of 'the invention, Which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to flushing devices for sinks and lavatory Waste connections,
and the invention comprises the construction and arrangement of parts substantially as hereinafter shown and described and more particularly pointed out in the claims.
In general, the object of the invention is to direct a continuous stream of water under pressure to and through the waste connections of sinks, closets, basins and the like, to the end that accumulations in the pi es fand n rtherance of this end, the device is constructed to hold caustic soda, soluble sulfates or other chemicals in the line of water pressure to promote disintegration and dissolution of the accumulations. The device is also particularly constructed to have a more or less universal application to varying styles of fixtures and to fit different sizes and shapes of Waste openings.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a sectional view centrally of the device and of a lavatory basin, and shows the working relation of the device to the waste opening. Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5 are sectional views in perspective of the lower device parts and represent the main receptacle, the middle flexible ring, the nozzle member, and the nozzle ring, respectively. Fig. 6 is a sectional view of a closet bowl and of the device as applied thereto. Fig. 7 is a sectional'view of a sink with a part of the device mounted over a fairly large waste opening therein. Figs. 8 and 9 are perspective views of the device in two parts showing the cover removed and above the main body for the introduction of chemicals or disinfectants.
The device consists of a number of separable arts which combine to make a unitary and ivisible apparatus applicable to varying needs and conditions wherever waste Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed March 6, 1907. Serial No. 360,929.
0., and do declare that the follow-' Patented Aug. 11, 1908.'
connections are found. the device is a handle 2 having a vertical water passage 3 at one side terminating at its u per end in a laterally inclined elbow -4- t eadedinternally to receive a hose connection 5-, and having an extension 6- at its bottom adapted to screw into a threaded opening 7 located at one side Thus, at the top of of the center of hollow cap or cover 8 re- 7 movably mounted upon main body 12. Cover 8 is circular in outline and handle 2 is centrally disposed above the same and in respect to the device as a whole so that whatever pressure brought to bear thereon by hand is uniformly distributed to make efiective sealing wherever the device may be applied. A curved leg 9 forms part of handle 2 and bears upon cover diametrically opposite tubular portion 6 and thereby relieves the strain upon the threaded connection betweenthe handle and said cover, as well as distributin the pressure equally to opposite sides of the cover.
A flanged seat 10 at the bottom ed e of the cover 8 is adapted to hold a ru ber or other suitable gasket 1 1 which serves the primary purpose of a seal between the cover and main body -12. In reality, said body is a mixing rece tacle for the fluid and for the chemicals whicli are placed therein and for which latter pur ose said cover 8 is made removable. ut cover 8 and its parts have a further utility in that they may be used in their entirety as a divisible part of the device to meet certain con-v ditions such as found in sinks having large waste openings. Thus, in Fig. 7 a sink A is shown having lar e waste opening therein leading to sewer an trap connection a, and cover 8 is mounted over the Waste opening with gasket 1 1 acting as a seal between the cover and bottom a, of the-sink. Hose connection 5 is shown in this view as attached to faucet a on the Water pressure line, and Whatever chemicals are used may be laced Within hollow cover 8 before app ying the cover to the Waste opening.
ow returning ,to the device as a whole, the upper edge of body tend slightly into cover 8 and has an a flat bottom -a with a 12 is seen to ex-v outer annular flange -14- against which gasket 11 is adapted to bear. Bodyl 12 tapers to a smaller diameter at 1ts bottom end and has an open bottom 15 through which tubular extension 16 of nozzle member 17 is adapted to project and make a fairly close fit. An outer flange or seat 18 is cast upon nozzle member 17- and a flat flexible ring 1 9 of rubber or felt is mounted between the bottom edge of body 12 and saidflange to sealthe joint between the parts and to act in a further capacity as a sealing head for the device when used to close waste o enings in closet bowls and as illustrated in Fig. 6 where the bowl is represented by B- and waste outlet by b--.. Ring 19 must be of fairly large diameter to meet conditions like this, and must moreover, extend outward all around the device so that a certain amount of flexibility may be obtained to crowd it in place as shown. A great measure of adaptability to varying sha es and sizes of bowl 0 enings is obtainable by a sealing ring thus p aced and provided, and different sizes and shapes of rings may be used because it is removably mounted upon 12.
Now having described the main elements of the device and their advantages in use, it will be noted finally that the nozzle member 17, ring 19, receptacle body 1 2, gasket -11 and cover -8 are separably united by means of a central tie rod -23 having a head -24 seated within grid end -20. Rod 23 extends upward through the device and through a central opening 27 in cover 8 where it is engaged by a thumbscrew 25 adapted to seat upon the cover and draw and hold said parts together. A small plug or screw '26- (see Fig. 7) may be used to close opening 27 if rod 23 is removed.
A swirling action of thewater in passing throu h the device is obtained by reason of the 0 center intake passage 6 and the centrally arranged outlet at the bottom of the device, and mixing of the water and chemicals is further induced by having nozzle extension 16 act as a check to immediate outflow.

'12. A transportable device adapted to direct a stream of liquid through waste connections and provided with separate sealing members mounted apart from each other at different elevations thereon, said sealing members being of varying sizes and shapes 'to fit singly over diiferent kinds of waste openlugs.
13. A transportable device adapted to disealing rings sides and botrect a stream of liquid throu h waste connections and having three sea ing members of difierent shapes separately secured upon said device apart from each other and one above the other and each adapted to fit a different sized waste opening.
