DRAIN-BOARD BRACKET.

Specification of Letters Patent, Application filed November 16, 1906. Serial No. 3%,757.

Patented Sept. 22, 1908.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

and to prov1 e a means whereby the lower end of the board maybe drawn back clear of the sink to afford facility for the efficient cleaning of that end of the sink adjacent to the board. I

Where a wooden sink board forms an attachment to a sink it is desirable that the lower edge of the board should project slightly over the end of the sink on which it rests but this projecting edge prevents that end of the sink from being properly cleansed. It is to provide a remedy for this condition that the bracket which is the subject of this application has been designed.

The invention is fully described in the following specification reference being made to the drawings by which it is accompanied in which:

Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of a drain board showing the a plication of the bracket thereto, Fig. 2, a p an of the bracket, and

Figs. 3 and 4, a section and plan of a modi fied form of the device. Fig. 5 is a detail elevation of a modification of my invention. Fig. 6, is a detail elevation of a still further modification of my invention. Fig. 7, is a plan of the bracket shown in Fig. 6.

. In these drawings 2 represents the end of the sink adjacent to the drain board and 3 the drain board. The bracket 4, which supports the drain board 3 where it is secured to the wall is of ordinary construction, but the 7 upper surface of it upon which the drain board rests is beveled to the slope of the board and is provided with a member 5 projecting from the mid-length of the u per face and extending in the direction 0 the length of the drain board toward its lower end. This member 5 is provided "with an elongated aperture 6 through which passes the end of a screw 7 secured to the sink board, the screw being provided with a nut 8 having a milled or butterfly head by which it may be readily o erated to release or secure the sink boar at either limit of the travel of the screw in the elongated aperture. When it is desired to withdraw the board 3 from the end of the sink, the nut 8 is slackened and the board drawn back to the limit ofthe aperture.

, To provide for the possible requirements of a right or left sloped board the bracket may be provided with members 5 projecting from each side of the bracket and the upper surface of the bracket will be beveled downward in each direction from the middle line as re resented by dot and dash lines in Figs. 1 anc 2; or, as in the modified form shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the projecting member 5 may form part of a strip 10 secured to the upperside of the bracket by rivets or screws. One face of this is beveled and the requirements of a right or left hand drain board is at tained by turning the strip end for end.

The advantage of this means of construction lies in the fact that 'it forms a simply made and easily cast part which may readily be secured to any existing standard bracket.

Having now particularly described my invention and the manner of its application and use I hereby declare that what I claim as new and desire to be protected in by Letters Patent is:

1. A drain board bracket the upper surface of which is downwardly beveled to one side and is provided toward the middle of its upper beveled surface with a member laterally projecting therefrom and forming a continuation of the plane of the upper surface of the bracket, and an elongated aperture in such lateral projection the. longer dimension of which is parallel to the edges thereof.

2. In a drain board bracket, a strip secured to the upper side said strip being beveled toward one edge and having a lateral extension toward its mid-length, and an elongated aperture in such lateral extension.

3. A bracket comprising two members projecting at right angles to one another, one of said members having its upper face beveled, the other member comprising an elongated portion projecting from said beveled member and having its upper surface lying in the same plane with the aforesaid mentioned bevel, all being arranged substantially as shown and described.

4. A bracket comprising two members projecting at right angles to one another, one of said members having its upper face bev- In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification 1n the presence of two subscribing Witnesses.
