, COVER FOR FAUcETs, `ETC Filed March 26, 1928 gmc/n' tow HARY C. Enno/v Patented May 13, 1930 PATENT OFFICE HARRY C. LEDDON, F CLEVELAND, OHIO COVER FOR FAUCETS, ETC.
Application led March 26, 1928. Serial No. 264,869.
This invention relates to an improved form of cover for faucets, cocks, and other similar plumbing fixtures. h
The object is to devise a comparatively 1nexpensive cover which is neat in appearance, and at the same time may be readily installed and will be maintained in secure position.
Other objects will appear from the following description and claims when considered together with the accompanying drawlng. v
Fig. 1 is a sectional view of my improve cover installed; and Fig. 2 is a View taken on line 2 2 of Fig. l.
As usual, the supply pipe 1 extends through the basin body 2, and has attached thereto the base portion 8 of the faucet. The spout 4 is here shown as of abbreviated form, to be hereinafter explained, although the spout Z0 may be of full length, as usual. A separate cap 5 is screw-threaded to the body of the faucet and has a screw-threaded projection 6. The valve 7 has threaded engagement with the faucet body and is controlled by means of the stem 8 which extends out through the projection 6.
The cover has a crown or dome portion 9, a skirt portion l0 and a spout portion 11. This cover is adapted to be placed over the projection 6 which then extends through an opening in the dome portion 9. The skirt portion 10 has sealed engagement with the basin body 2, by means of the annular gasket l2. The skirt portion l10 is also provi-ded with inwardly extending lugs 13 which are adapted for interlocking engagement with correspondingly formed and positioned recesses 14 in the base portion of the faucet. This prevents rotary movement of the cover after 4@ it has been placed in position. The cover is held in set position by means of the nut 15 which has threaded engagement with the projection 6 and has bearing engagement with the top of the dome portion 9.
'i5 The cover may be installed in the rst instance, as a means of supplying an attractive finish to a faucet, cock or the like which lacks such a finish. Or, the cover may be applied only after the original finish of the fixture 5a has disappeared or at least become unattractive due to wear. In either case, the spout portion l1 may be of tubular form, as shown in the present drawing, so as to serve as a virtual continuation of the spout 4; or the spout portion l1 may have merely the 'orm of a cover, with only a top wall portion, so as to lit over a full length of spout.
Then, too, the form of cover shown in the present drawing may be employed in connection with a faucet or cock having a full length of spout, it merely bein necessary to shorten the spout, as suggeste by the present showing of spout 4.
The present invention may vary in design and may be employed in connection with va rious faucets, cocks, etc., whether found in basins, baths, or the like. The covers may be made of metal, enameled metal, porcelain or any other suitable composition. These covers are intended to be made and used in H ia universal manner, without being limited to any particular form or design of plumbing fixtures. Any and all modifications which embody the spirit of the present invention, are intended to be comprehended by the following claim, the particular form of cover herein shown and described being merely for purposes of illustration.
What I claim is:
In a device of the class described, the combination of a faucet or the like, said faucet having a discharge spout constituting part thereof, a cover adapted to be applied to said faucet and spout, said cover having an opening therethrough, said faucet or the like having a removable projection' extending outwardly through said opening, and means located outside of said cover and engaging said cover and said projection, thereby maintaining said cover in position.
In testimony whereof, I hereby affix my signature.
HARRY C. LEDDON.
