c. K. LASSEL REFRIGERATOR DRAIN PIPE Filed Oct. 11, 1923 I Patented Aug. 5, 1924.
CLARENCE KING LASSELL, OF EAST PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND.
REFRIGERATOR DRAIN PIPE.
Application filed October 11, 1923. Serial No. 668,003.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CLARENCE K. LAssnLL, a citizen of the United States, residing at East Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Refrigerator Drain Pipes; and I do declare the following to be a full, 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.
My invention relates to a supplemental drain pipe adapted to extend from the drip outlet of a refrigerator to a drain pipe or to some other point, the device beingparticularly adaptable to extend from the drip outlet to a drain pipe through the floor upon which the refrigerator rests, when the latter cannot be located so that the drippings will drop directly into said drain pipe.
In the preferred construction, an inclined pipe is provided at its upper end with a funnel to receive the drippings, and the lower end of said pipe is formed with a dis charge nipple for reception in the usual drain pipe, said inclined pipe being preferably formed of telescopic sections so that its length may be varied to quite an extent by merely sliding said sections, and may be materially shortened by cutting oif either or both of the sections to the necessary extent.
The principal object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive device of the character set forth provided with a novel form of support to rest on the floor and hold the device in proper position, said support being preferably bendable, so that its effective height may be varied according to the distance of the refrigerator from the floor.
With the foregoing in view, the invention resides in the novel subject matter hereinafter described and claimed, the description being supplemented by the accompanying drawing.
Figure 1 is an elevation, partly in section, showing the association of the invention with a refrigerator and drain pipe through the floor.
Figure 2 is a disassembled perspective view of the invention.
Figure 3 is an end elevation.
Figure 4 is a longitudinal sectional view.
In the drawingabove briefly described, the numeral 1 designates an inclined sheet metal pipe which is preferably formed of inner and outer telescopic sections 2 and 3 respectively, the upper end of the section 2 being provided with a funnel 4 for disposition under the drip outlet 5 of a refrigera tor, while the lower end of the section 3 is formed with a downwardly extending outlet neck 6 designed primarily for rece tion in a drain pipe 7 passing through the floor upon which the refrigerator rests. It is obvious however that this nipple could lead to some other point if desired.
A support 8 is provided for the upper end of the pipe 1, this support being preferably in the form of a flat sheet metal plate of triangular form with its apex secured to the pipe and its base extending transversely of said pipe to rest upon the floor and effectively support the device against tilting. This plate is preferably bendable'so that it may be bent, for instance in the manner illustrated at 9 in Figs. 1 and 4, intermediate of its upper and lower edges on a line parallel to its wide straight lower edge for the purpose of varying its eifective length, according to the distance between the refrigerator and the floor upon which it rests. By providing this bendable support, it is ob vious that the purchaser of the device may easily adjust it as may be necessary. Furthermore, it will be seen that the sections 2 and 3 may be adjusted to the required extent or if advisable, a portion of one or both of said sections may be cut off with a hacksaw or a pair of tin shears.
The device may be easily and inexpensively manufactured from tin or other thin sheet metal and for reinforcing purposes, the upper edge of the funnel l may be headed as indicated at 8, and the edges of the support 8 may be turned upon themselves as disclosed at 9. Obviously, any desired coating or other external finish may be applied if desired. As excellent results have been obtained from the details disclosed, they are by preference followed, but within the scope of the invention as claimed, minor changes may be made.
I claim:\
A device of the class described comprising a pipe adapted to be disposed in an inclined position under a refrigerator and having its lower end turned downwardly for loose disposition in the upper end of a drain pipe or the like, an upwardly opening funnel secured to the upper end of said inclined pipe for disposition directly under the drip outlet of the refrigerator, a substantially flat supporting plate secured to the lower side of the upper end portion of said inclined pipe under said funnel, said plate extending.
transversely of said inclined pipe and having a nude straight lower edge to rest upon the floor to supportsald inclined pipe 111 an inclined position with said funnel'disposed' GLARENCE KING LASSELL.
