FIXTURE FOR "WATER-CLOSET BOWLS.
Application filed April 22,
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, LEE W. BoLLow, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, county of Cook, State of Illinois, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Fixtures for Water-Closet Bowls, and declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and .use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification,
Often, when the outlet from the modern water closet bowl becomes choked, it is necessary completely to detach the bowl from its support so as to permit ac cess'to the obstructed zone from the under side; the reason fonthis' being that the circuitous disbowl prevents a 'rod charge passagefrom the the same from from being pushed through one end to the other.
. The object of the present invention isto provide means whereby an obstruction may be quickly and conveniently removed from the circuitous dischargepassage of a water closet bowl, without detaching or lifting the bowl.
In carrying out my invention I make a hole in the rear wall of the bowl opposite the juncture of thatxpart of the passageextending upwardly tom of the bowlwith that partof the passage extending downwardly at the rear of the bowl and-provide a simple andinovel closure for the hole which will make a permanently watertight joint and at the same time give ready access to the outlet passage so as to permit a rod tobe pushed forwardly if there is an obstruction in the upper or lateral branch ofthe passage, or downwardly if there be an obstruction in, the upright section of the passage.
Difficulty .is experienced, in making a satisfactory connection between the water inlet throughthes0-called spud and the vitreous part ofthe-bowl. The same means for securing a watertight joint at the cleanout hole may be employed for attaching the spud in place and therefore, viewed in one of its aspects, my invention may be said to have for its object to produce a simple and Specification of Letters Fatent.

1920. Serial no. 375,695.
novel construction and arrangement for effecting a permanent watertight joint between a fitting and the vitreous wall of a water closet bowl or the like.v
The various features of novelty whereby my invent-ion is characterized will hereinafterbe pointed outwith particularity in the claims; but, for a full understanding of my inventionand of its objects and advantages, reference may be had to the fol.- lowing detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, where- 1n:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the vitreous portion of a bowl adapted tobe equipped in accordance with the present invention;
Fig. 2 is a sectiontaken approximately on line 2-2 of Fig.1; i
Fig. 3 is a rear elevation of the bowl; Fig. i is an axial section on a larger scale than Figs. 1 to 3, through the clean-out opening and closure, only a fragment of the vitreous. wall being shown;
Fig. 5 is a section taken approximately on line 5-5 of Fig; 4 the vitreous wall and the valve being omitted;
Fig. 6 is an end view,-on areduced scale, of the locking washer;-
Fig. 7 is a vertical central sectionthrough the spud and the ,means for fastening it to the bowl; and v y Fig. 8 is a central axial section taken at right angles to the plane ofFig. 7
Re'ferring to the drawing, 1 represents a water closet bowl of any usual or suitable construction having the usual syphoning outlet passage formed of an inlet section, 2, and an -outlet section, 3. In the rearwall' of the bowl, just opposite the rear end of the section 2 and the upper end of the section 3 of the outlet passage is a hole, 1. This hole is'preferably round except that it is pro videdwith diametrically-opposed sections, 5, of larger radius than the body portion of the hole. Extending through this hole is a cylindrical sleeve, 6, having on the inner end two flange sections, 7, of such size and shape that when the sleeve is placed opposite the hole 1 with the flange members registering with the wings, 5, of the opening in the bowl, the flange members may be passed terior to the interior. Then, upon turning the sleeve through an angle of ninety degreees, the flanges are brought behind the solid sections of the wall lying between the wings 5, thus preventing the sleeve from being withdrawn in thefoutward direction,
For the purpose of locking the sleeve against rotation, I provide a locking washer,
8, having an internal diameter such that it may be slipped'over-the projecting end of the sleeve on the outer side of the bowl and provided with long arc-shaped lugs, 9, shaped to fit into the wings, 5, of the opening in the bowl and long enough 'to'project betweenthe flange sections, 7, on the sleeve. Itwill be seen that the washer is prevented from turningby reason of the fact that its lugs areseated in the wing portions of the hole in the bowl; its lugs in turn serving as .stops for the flange sections on the sleeve and preventing the sleeve from turning.
After the sleeve and locking washer have been placed in position, a compressible gasket, 10, is placed over the washer, this gasket preferably being larger in external diameter than the washer andbeing thick ened in that area which projects beyond the seat, 13.- Co-operating with this valve seat is a valve, 14:, the stein of which is preferably sc'rewed into a plate, 15, as indicated at 16, which serves as a cover plate for the nut.
11 and to which it is fastened by means of studs, 17, or other suitable means. The screw threaded connection between the stopper and the plate permits the stopper to be adjusted relatively to the supporting plate. When access to the interior of the outlet passage in the bowl is desired, the plate, 15, is unscrewed, the stopper coming away with the plate. v
' The same expedient that I have adopte for locking the sleeve in the clean-out opening may be employed to advantage for securing a watertight jointbetween the spud and the top wall of the bowl. I have therefore provided the bowl with a water inlet opening, 18, which is preferably of the same size and shape as the hole 4 with its wings 5 so as to make the fittings interchangeable. The spud, .19, like the sleeve, 6, has flange sections, 20, similar to the flange sections 7. The same locking washer, 8, with its locking lugs, 9, fits into the opening 18 and co-operates with the flanges, 20, of the spud to-prevent rotation of the spud. Over the washer is placed a gasket, 10, like the one heretofore described, and the parts are locked together by means of a suitable nut, 21, screw threaded on the spud. If desired, a thin washer, 22, may be placed between the nut and the gasket for the purpose of taking the wear induced by the rotating nut when the latter is tightened.
While I have illustrated and described with particularity only a single preferred form of my invention, I do not'desire' to be limited "to: the ekactstructural details thus illustrated and described; but intend to cover all forms and arrangements which come within the terms employed in thedefi nitions of my invention constituting the appended claims.
