Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed September 1%, 19071 Serial No. 392,931.
a citizen of the United States, residing at Chattanooga, in the county of Hamilton and State of Tennessee, have mvented a now and useful Improvement in Sinks, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.
My improvement relates particularly to metallic or porcelain sinks having a main approximately horizontal recessed or basin portion and having an upright back rising from said horizontal portion and adapted to be applied flatwise against an upright wall.
The object of the improvement is to provide for such a sink a lateral extension adapted also 'to be applied to the wall to which the sink is applied and to serve as a drain-board for draining water from dishes and similar articles, resting upon said extension, into the sink, said extension or drain-board being manufactured as a single piece distinct from the sink proper, so that the sink proper may be used with or without said extension. And the extension is to be made in right and left forms, so that it may be applied to either or both sides of the sink proper. In some situations there is room for such an extension at only one side of the sink proper and in other situations there is room for such an extension at both sides of the sink proper. Thus the manufacture of only three pleces, a sink proper adapted for use without drain-board, a lefthand drainboard and a right hand drain-board, will meet avariety of needs. The improvement is also applicable to corner sinkssinks applied to the two upright walls in the corner of a room.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a front perspective of a sink proper with a drain-board at each side; Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same sink with a drain-board applied only at the right hand side; Fig. 3 is av perspective of the left hand drain-board shown in Fig: 1; Fig. 4 is an uprightsection on the line 44 of Fig. 2;Fig. 5 is a front perspective of a corner sink and a drainoard; Fig. 6 is a front elevation, portions being broken away Fig. 7 is a section on the line 77 of Fig. 6; Fig. 8 is a section on the line 88 of Fig. 4.
Referring to said drawings, A isthe sink proper, B is a left hand drain-board, and C is a right hand drain-board. The sink, A, is of a form heretofore manufactured. It con- I sists of a horizontal, approximately rectangular basin, 1, and an upright back, 2,'ris1ng i from therear portion of the basin. In the said back are two holes, 3, 23, for applying I faucets in the usual mamier. As to its details of form, said sink may, obviously, be varied. In the particular form shown in the drawings, an apron, 4, extends around the front and ends of the basin and is curved inward around its upper edge and meets and unites with the outward-curved upper edge of the basin wall, said wall and said apron being integral. Thus the front and end edges, rims, or gunwales, 5, of the basin are rounded in cross-section.- The back,-2, is bordered along the top and ends by a forward-directed rib, 6, which meets and unites with the rim, 5. The right and left hand ends of the back, 2, are approximately straight and upright.
itself, complete and extensively used. Another form of sink, extensively manufactured, consists of a single piece approximafely twice as long as the sink above described, and comprising a depressed portion or basin and an inclined portion serving as a drain-board. And to meet all conditions, said largo structure must be made in two forms, one with the drain-board portion at the right and the other with said portion at the left. The manufacturev of this relativelylarge structure in either of these forms is troublesome and expensive. First the forming of the large body is difficult, and when failures occur the loss is relatively large, and subsequently the work of applying the coat of ename is much more difficult than is the task of applyin the enamel to relatively small pieces. Vfhether such sinks are made of porcelain or of metal, the manufacture of these large forms is difficult and accompanied with a relatively high ratio of loss through failures.
Turning now to the extension or drainboard, B, of Fig. 1, said extension is a single proximate y horizontal flat )ortion, 7, and the upright back, 8. Said ack has at its right an upright edge, 9, conforming to the adjacent upright edge, 10, of the back, 3, of the sink pro er, the meeting edges of said two backs aliutting in such manner as to form a close or substantially invisible oint, the back, 8, being approximately as thick as the back, 2 and lacking the rib, 6, along said edge so that the adjacent portion of the rib,
The sink proper, as thus described, is, in
piece com rising as main elements the ap- 6, stands in relief with reference to the adj acent faces of both of said backs. The main portion, 7, of the extension, B, is slightly inclined toward the basin, 1, so that liquids falling upon the portion, 7, will flow toward and into said basin. And said portion, 7, is extended rightward beyond the back, 8, far enough to extend across the adjacent portion of the rim, 5, of the basin, 1, and curve downward to form an apron, 11. From the lower portion of the edge, 9, of the back, 8, to the front lower edge of the apron, 11, a rim or wall, 13, rises from the portion, 7, and extends across the joint between the backs, 8 and 2, and around the adjacent portion of the rib, 6. Along the front and left hand edges of the portion, 7, is a raisedrib, 14,
and said rib projects a short distance rightward of the right hand edge of said portion, 7; and the lower portion of the part of the rib thus extended is provided with a recess, 15, adapted to receive the rim, 5. The drain-board, C, at the right of the sink proper, A, is a duplicate of the drain-board, B, excepting that there is a reversal of parts from left to right.
The sink and the drain-boards may be secured to the Wall in any suitable manner, .as
by means of ordinary brackets extending beneath said sink and drain-boards or by means of any suitable hanging or securing plates or other devices located between the backs, 8 and 2 and the wall, the sink proper and the drain-board or boards being p'refer ably supported independently of each other, In Figs. 6 and 7, a plate, 16, secured to the wall, has sockets, 17, above for the reception of lugs, 18, projecting downward from the upper portion of the back, 2, and ears, 19,
having an upright, transverse end face, said back abutting endwise against the back of thesinkproper and said nearly horizontal portion extending beyond said back of the rain-board across the adjacent portion of the rim of said basin.
2. The combination with a one-piece sink pro er comprising a basin and a backas long as t e basin, of a one-piece drain-board distinct from said sink proper and comprising a nearly horizontal main portion and a back having an upright, transverse end face, said back abutting endwise a ainst the back of the sink proper and said orizontal portion extending beyond said back of the drainboard across the adjacent portion of the rim of said basin and curving downward to form an apron. v
3. .The combination with a one-piece sink propercomprising a basin and a back as long as the basin, of a drain-board distinct from said sink proper and comprising a nearly horizontal main portion and a back having an upright, transverse end face, said back abutting endwise against the" adjacent upright edge'of the back of the sink and said nearly horizontal portion extending beyond said back of the drain-board across the ad jacent portion of the rim of said basin, and a rim rising from said nearly horizontal portion and extending across the joint between said backs.
4. The combination with a one-piece sink proper, comprising a basinand a back as long as the basin, of a drain-board distinct from said sink proper and comprising a nearly horizontal main portion and a back having an upright, transverse end face, said back abutting against the adjacent upright edge of the back of the sink proper and said nearly horizontal portion extending beyond said back of the drain-board across the adjacent portion of the rim of said basin and curving downward to form an apron, and a rim rising from said nearly horizontal portion and extending across the joint between said backs.
5. The combination with a one-piece sink proper comprising a basin and a back as long as the basin, of a one-piece drain-board distinct from said sink proper and comprising a nearly horizontal main portion and a back having an upright, transverse face and abutting endwise against the adjacent upright edge ofthe back of the sink proper and said nearly horizontal portion extending beyond said back of the drain-board across the adjacent portion of the rim of said basin and having a recess receiving the front rim of the basin.
