EARL e. WATRoUso'F CHICAGO, ILLINoIs.
LAvATonY.
all whom t may concern Beit known that I, EARL G. WATROUS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, Cook county, Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lavatories,I of which the following is a object thereof is to provide simple and eiii- .cient operating and controlling fixtures for the hot and cold water and for the waste plug. My lavatory is intended more particularly for use on railroad cars where it is necessary to have compact fixtures capable of easy and reliable operation.
In the drawing Figure l1 is a sectional l elevation of a portion of. a bowl with my fixtures applied thereto; Fig. 2 a plan lview of the hot and cold water fixture; Fig. 3 al front elevation thereof but on a larger scale;
Fig. 4 a similar view but showing some of i' thepartsin section, Fig. 5 a section on the 50 are/contained within" similar casings 9 secured tothe-underside of the top plate B vthrough the medium ofthe side brackets 10.
The bowl A may be of any suitable or conventional form` andmay as usual be' provided with the top plate B. Upon the top,-
plate is .mounted acap plate 1 secured thereto in suitable manner, as by the screws 2. This cap is open at its top'in order` to receive andaccommodate the operating members controlling the hot and cold water valves. -fThese members consist of .three substantial half cylinders or shells 3, L.Land v5,
the outer two of which are associated withthe hot and cold water valves andthe in .termediate one of which is associated with the waste plug; These 4cylinders are prof top opening vided with handles, the cylinders 3 and 5 being provided with similar handles 6 and 7 projecting forwardly toward the bowl ,and the cylinder-4 with an upstanding handle 8.
4These l cylinders vare placed end to' end and form a continuous surface which fills the of the cap and matches the contour thereof..v Y l The hotand cold water valve mechanisms are the same so that a description of one will apply to the other.- :These mechanisms The Water enters l the lower end of the cas,-

of the spring 13 which encircles the stem' i 14 of the valve. his stem passes upwardly through the packing nut 15, screwing into the upper end ofthe casing and is pivotally connected to its shell or lcylinder by means of the cross pin 16 passing through the -upper end of the valve stem and through downwardly projecting lugs or ribs 17 of such cylinder. Each` of the cylinders 3 and 5 is provided Ialong vone edge with a dependl ing'curved projection or bead 18 which bears upon the top of the nut 15,with the result that when the cylinder is oscillated by downward pressure of the. handle 6 or 7, the valve -stem and valve 12 will be raised against thetension ofthe spring 13, with theresult through the opening 19 and pipe20 being understood that there is a cross passage 21 between the two casings 9 VVhen--` the that'the` water will be supplied to the bowl i pressure of the hand is removed from the'A handle 6' or 7, thefspring 13 will restore the parts to the normal position shown, the cylinders being stopped in suchl normal posi,-
tion by the engagement of the lug 18a against the under side of thev cap-1. Referring to the waste plug fixture, the .bowl A is provided with a central'opening controlled bya vertically movable valve org plug 22 and is also provided with a suitable coupling which is here in the form of an '1 elbow 23. An operating rod 24 extends through this fitting 23 and its annular free end passes through a slot or opening in the depending stem 22a ofthe plug. This rod toward its other end is provided with a ball formation24a' received within a socket 23a formed on the outside Vof. a boss 23lthrough which such rod passes. By preferencesu1table'packing material 25 is provided between this `ball and its socket in orderto pack the joint at .this place., This -rod is .pivoted vat its ball-and-socket by vmeans-of lthe cross pin 26 vpassing" throughfsuch rodj,` and also through the lugs 23". The -ex`v treme'oute'r end of the rod is pivotallyv connected to a short rod or sleeve 27 r into which screwsV for adjustment purposes. theactuat ing rod 28, a lock nut 29 being employed to maintain the proper adjustment between the parts 27 y and 28.
Referring to the operating connection between the cylinder 4 and the actuating rod 28 such cylinder is provided with a depending frame 30,`through an opening in the bottom of which theupper end of the rodl 28 passes freely. The cylinder 4 and this frame 30 is mounted to oscillate by means of the p in 31 passing through such frame and through two parallel arms 32 extending upwardly from the casings 9. In order that the operating rod 28v shall passbeyond center and'thereby be held in one position or the other, a bent wire spring 33 is provided, the
same being substantially V-shaped with its free endsl entering respectively an opening in the outerend of the rod 28 and an opening in a boss 34 in the frame 30.
When the parts are in the position shown in'Fig. l the waste plug is closed but when the handle 8 is drawn forwardly toward the bowl thecylinder 4 and the frame 30 will be oscillated in a clockwise direction, with v the result that the rod 28 will be' depressed andthe rod 24 thereby moved'upwardly asf to its free end, withthe result that the plug 22 will be elevated 'or opened. When the handle-8 is moved forwardly to-full 'extent v it will be held in that position by reason of thefact that the connection between the operating rod 28 and the frame 30 will be off-center requiring application of positive force to the handle 8 before the reverse operation can take place and the plug be thereby closed.` The operating connections for the waste plug, particularly the employment of the ball-and-socket joint, and the adjustment between the parts 27 and..28, permit of the attachment of my ixture to'dif-l fprent bowls having a wide range of size and s y e.
The' pivot pins 16 and 31 are not individually locked in position but are maintained v 11.1 I
bled, it being observed from Fig-4 that the position when all vthe parts are assempms v16 are limited in their endwise movement .by the cap 1 and the brackets 32, and likewisevthe pin 3l is limited in endwise movement by the other pins- 16. The handoperated membersV can be disassembled by removing the cap 1 and the handle 8,
'le I have above described my invention as embodied in .a lavatory fixture having valves for both'hot and cold water and mechanism for operating a waste plug, only a single water admissionl valve may be employed, if desired, as in the simplified form of my device -illustrated in Fig. 6,'in which 8*l indicatesthe operating handle for the waste plug connection and 6EL indicates the handle for the water admission valve; or the waste plug connections may be dispensed with, as in the modiied form of my-invention illustrated in Fig. 7 in which the refwhere-l upon the plvot pins are vfree to be removed.
erence character 6b and 7b indicate the -handles of the hot and. cold water valves, -re- Spectively.
