WATER-CLOSET CON N ECTION vSpecification of Letters Patent. Application fue February 5, 1906.
Patented oct. 6, 1908. serial No. 299,570.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, EDWARD J. RICE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Water-Closet Connections and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked there on, which form a part of this specification.
This invention relates to new and useful improvements in sewer connections for water closets, and comprises means whereby a closet may be adjustably fastened to sewer connections with intervening various thicknesses of floors, joists, etc.
In the best quality of plumbing, it is usual to employ cast iron pipe and sections set together with calked lead joints which are found to be durable and least liable to injury by concussion or by the shrinkage of the woodwork or other forces which are liable to injure the lead pipe or the wiped joints of the same, but it has heretofore been diliicult to e a perfect joint at the surface of the floor between the upper end of the iron sewer pipe and the porcelain end of the discharge pipe of a water closet. The present invention relates essentially to the joint at the upper end of the iron pipe or iron bend, whereby the connection may be made at the surface of the lloor between ythe porcelain flange of the basin and the cast iron pipe or bend, without the risk of breaking the flange in making the connection, and without any difliculty being experienced in placing the closet in the correct position independently of the direction in which the sewer pipe may be positioned.
My invention comprises various details of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts which will be hereinafter fully described and then specilically defined in the appended claims.
I illustrate my invention in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view through my invention showing connection between a sewer pipe and the porcelain basin of a closet. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of a ring having segment slots therein, and Fig. 3 is a cross sectional view showing the manner in which the heads of F adapted the bolts are held by the walls of the recess in the ring, from turning.
Reference now being had to the details of the drawings by letter, A designates a iloor having an opening A` therein for the reception of the connection to be made between the escape pipe C of the closet and the sewer pipe R. The lower portion of the escape pipe of the basin is provided with a flange C', the under surface of which liange is recessed away, as shown at D, and the marginal under edge of said ilange is adapted to rest upon the floor in the manner shown in Fig. 1 of the connections about to be described. Said ilange is provided with apertures D at any suitable locationfor the reception of bolts E, there being a space intervening between` the bolts E and the surrounding marginal walls of the openings D', whereby the closet may have a slight play in order to adjust the same in its proper position.
designates a circular ring which is countersunken upon its under face and is provided with a series of curved segment slots to receive the bolts E, and affording means whereby the closet may be turned in one direction or the other incident to the proper adjustment thereof, while the slotted ring F remains stationary. It will be noted that the heads of the bolts E are adapted to bear against the inclined wall of the recess formed in the under surface of the ring F, whereby the bolts may be prevented from turning when the nuts are screwed upon the bolts in the manner shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. When said bolts are adjusted in place, it will be noted that their heads rest upon the floor, and the thickness of the heads is equal to the depth of the recess in the ring, and the recess in the under surface of said flange of the closet is of sufficient depth to receive said ring and form a complete housing for the same. A suitable gasket H is placed over the upper surface of the ring F and is held to the latter by the recessed iiapges when the nuts are screwed upon the o ts.
K designates a shell which may be made of any suitable material and has elongated series of threads K upon the circumference thereof adapted to engage the threads F2 formed upon the inner marginal edge of the ring, whereby said shell may be raised or lowered as may be desired to adjust the coupling to floors or joists of different thicknesses, and after the adjustment has been made, any surplusage of the shell extending above the ring may be cut off, leaving the upper edge of the shell and the upper surface of said ring flush, in the manner shown in the drawings. The lower end C2 of the escape pipe extends inside the shell K, and the outer circumference of said end C2 is preferably tapered or inclined in order that it may not interfere with its insertion within the shell. The lower end of said shell is provided with a bead KX, and R designates a sewer pipe having an annular shoulder N in the flanged end thereof and upon which shoulder said beaded portion of the shell is adapted to rest, the shell and sewer pipe being preferably held together in the usual manner by calking, as shown inthe sectional view of the drawings.
By the provision of a coupling made in accordance with my invention, it will be noted that the connections may be readily and quickly made through iloors and joists of various thicknesses by the simple adjusting of the shell to the threaded ring, after which, by the means shown, the closet may be turned in one direction or the other to bring the same into proper position to be true with the seat, and connections with the sewer pipe may be readily made in different directions. When the connections are made, the joints between the various parts are thoroughly protected, and little injury done to the floor incident to connections, and owing to the simplicity of the construction and arrangement of parts, the quickly removed when desired for repairs or other purposes.
What l claim is In combination with a flooring having an opening therein, a bowl having an interior circular apertured `[lange about the saine, said flange being recessed upon its under face, the opposite longitudinal walls of said recess tapering, a ring seated in said recess and having a series of euived slots which are in alinement with one another, the opposite longitudinal walls of said slots being inclined, bolts passing through said slots and having heads which bear against the inclined walls of the slots and extend through the apertures in said flange, nuts mounted upon said bolts, the inner marginal edge of said ring being threaded, a shell with a threaded circumference engaging said threads upon the ring, a portion of the bowl below said flange being tapering and extending within the shell, as set forth.
In testimony whereof l hereunto allix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
