TJNTTED STATES PATENT OFFIQE.
Emis'rus n. HARE,- or AMITY I'LLE, NEW YORK.
' WASHZBASIN Am BATH-TUB PLUG.
Specification of Letters Patent.
To all whom. it may camera:
Be it known that I', ERASTUS E. HAFF, of Amityville, in the county ofSuflolk and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Washbasin and Bath-Tub Plugs, of which the. following is a specification.
This invention relates to stopper .plugs such as are used to close the waste outlets of bath-tubs, wash-basins and the like, and a particular object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which will enable the usual unsanitary chain to be dispensed with and yet prevent possible loss of the plug.
Another object is to provide a simpleand inexpensive plug stopper which will automatically remain lifted above its seat when the waste is to be allowed to escape, and will remain in position to be instantly pushed to To these ends, the invention consists in the construction and combination of parts substantially as hereinafter described and claimed.
Of the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 is a side elevation and part vertical section of my improved device in one of its embodiments as applied to the waste fixture of a bath-tub. Fig. 2 is a similar view, but illustrating the use of the device in connection with the waste fixture of a wash-basin, Figs.
-3 and 4. are side elevations, from two points of view, of the plug and its combined supporting and guiding attachment.
Similar reference characters indicate the same or similar parts in all of the views.
Referring first to Fig. 1, the outlet or waste-pipe 10 is shown as connected by means of a thimble 11, with the bottom 12 of a bath-tub, the members-1O and .11 having flanges to engage the material of the tub he usual manner, and a grid or guard 13'being employed to act asa strainer as usual. Said grid or guard may be of any well known or preferred. construction.
The plug 14, which may be of rubber of metal or a combination of both materials,
is provided with a handle 15, preferably in the form of a ring. To support theplug in raised-position, and guide it to its seat in the th'mble 11, and serve as a connector which will prevent entire removal or separation of the plug from position, I employ a strip 16 of resilient material such as spring brass. It is shown as secured to the plugby App1ication filed May 3, 1911. Serial No. 624,683.
the handle 15, said shank serving as a rivet passing through the center of the spring strip. The ends of the strip are bent outthe shank 18 of the stud 17 which carries Patented-Jan. 9,1912
wardly to form lugs 19adapted to engage the loweredge of the thimble 11. and prevent the plug from being raised higher than sufiicient to permit the water to escape. Owing to 'the resilience of the arms of the strip, said arms frictionally engage inner portions of the thimble and hold the plug raised, but in such position that said arms will guide the plug to its seat when the plug is pushed down. I have shown the strip as formed with outwardly bowed portions which aid in guiding the plug to its seat and which also provide finger bearing portions to enable a person to press the arms toward each other when the device is first put in place, or if it should be desired to entirely =remove it. At such times, the tips of the arms must be collapsed or pressed toward 'each other somewhat, in order to pass the outwardly turned tips 19 through the slots of the grid 13.
'In Fig. 2, a portion of the bottom of a wash basin is shown at 20, and an outlet .fined between suitable protuberances 22,23',
which may be inwardly pressed portions of the thimble or coupling or spurs solderedv thereto; In said Fig. 2,the arms of the connector strip 16 are longer'than inFig. 1.
'vided a simple and inexpensive device which enables the plug 'to be simply raised to a point which will permitthewater to escape, nd so that the plug will remain at that pointready to be .quickly pushed back to its closing position. And although the usual objectionable chain is unnecessary, since the plug can not be entirely remove and'lost, yet it is to be understood that do not limit myself to use of the device without. a chain, since one can be connected by a user if it be wanted for the purpose of raising the plug. 1 I claim: 1. A plug for a waste outlet having a combined-support and guide constructed The longer said arms are made, the better d ice f with outwardlyextended intermediate por- "tions for frictionally engaging with such.
Waste outlet, to guide and hold the" plug therein, and with means for preventing the entire disconnection of such-plug therefrom,
substantially as described;
"2, The combination with a Waste Outlet having a limiting stop, of a plug for (engagwith such limiting stop, to'limit the upward movement of the plug, and with intermediate portions of, said arms' formed for frictionally engaging with the interior of the outlet, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I-have hereunto set my hand, in the presence of two witnesses, this 28th day of April, 1911.
