WILLIAM S, BACON, OF MACOMB, ILLINOIS, AND WILLIAM CARPENTER MAQCARTY. OF ROCHESTER, MINNESOTA.

WASHBASIN.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 3, 1917.

' Application filed November 20, 1915, Serial No. 62,624. Renewed June 1, 1917. Serial No. 172,229.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WiLLIAM S. BACON and WILLIAM C. MAGOARTY, citizens of the United States, residing at Macomb and Rochester, respectively, in the respective counties of McDonough and Olmsted and States of Illinois and Minnesota, respectively, have invented new and useful Improvements in Washbasins, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to devices for protecting water to be used from coming in contact with exposed surfaces, and more specifically speaking our invention relates to a receptacle adapted to be inserted into a container, and by means of which liquid W1ll be prevented from coming into contact with the exposed surfaces of the container.

Our invention also contemplates means for allowing the escape of water when so desired, but at the same time during the use of the liquid an air-tight connection w1ll be formed between the receptacle and container. I

An important feature of our inventlon is the manner of forming the opening in the receptacle of a size less than the outlet in the container so that the marginal edge of the opening will be forced into the outlet by the closing means upon the latter being placed in closing position, thus the marginal edge of the opening acts as a packing between the closing means and the wall of the outlet.

In the drawing:

Figure l is a vertical sectional view of the container showing our improved form of a receptacle mounted therein.

Fig. 2 is a similar View showing the stopper arranged in place.

Fig. 3 is a top plan view of the receptacle.

Fig. 4 is a top plan view of the modified form of our invention. v

Fig. 5 is a vertical section therethrough.

Fig. 6 is a top plan view of another mod1 fied form of our invention.

Referring to the drawing number 1 designates a container shown in this particular lnstance containing a Wash basin of a well known construction. This container is provided with the usual outlet 2, commuicating with the drain pipe 3. Referring more particularly to the preferred form of our invention the numeral 4 designates the receptable of a shape to fit within the container in contact with the entire surface thereof. The receptacle 4 directly opposite the outlet 2 is provided with an opening of a diameter less than the diameter of the outlet 2 so that when the stopper 6 is in place a marginal edge of the opening 5, will be squeezed in between the peripheral edge of the stopper 6 and the wall of the outlet 2, with the result that an absolutely airtight fit will be had between the inner receptacle and the container for preventing any water passing from the receptacle through the opening into the space between the receptacle and container. In the first modified form of our invention we provide a receptacle that can be used with the container that does not use a stopper, and this is accomplished by making the receptacle continuous throughout its area. For allowing the escape of water we compress a portion of the receptacle during its manufacture as indicated at the point 7 so that when pressure is applied to this spot the same will part from the rest of the receptacle for allowing the water to pass through into the outlet 2. It will be understood that the diameter of the material removed by the pressure of the operator is less than the diameter of the outlet 2, so that the proper action can take place. In the second form of our invention we have shown a receptacle that can be manufactured much cheaper than the previous forms described, and to accomplish this we form the receptacle of cheaper material, and at the point 8 we impregnate the material of the receptacle with water proof material and this portion of the receptacle is adapted to rest upon the outlet 2 with the result that the receptacle may be made of cheap material and at v, I Q 1,232,419
