JULIUS L. B03351, OF

DETROIT, MICHIGAN.

Application filed January 26, 1916.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JULIUS L. BORN, a citizen of the United States, and residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented a new and Im proved Garbage-Receptacle for Sinks, of which the following is a specification.

The object of the present invention is to provide a detachable garbage receptacle (preferably paper) together with an inertpensive support therefor whereby it may be mounted in an ordinary kitchen sink, and among its important features are the following: receptacle formed of paper or the like and means for detachably supporting it in one corner of the sink; a cover flap for the receptacle whereby the hand of the user may press upon and yet be prevented from contacting with the contents of the receptacle when the latter is to be thrown away; re-

ceptacle supporting means including a wire arm having lateral projections that pass through perforations in the side of the re ceptacle, whereby the latter may be readily secured in place or detached; and a paper receptacle adapted to fit the corner of a sink and so formed that it may be readily collapsed or flattened for transportation and storage. The invention further resides in the details of construction shown, described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective view showing an embodiment of the invention that is particularly adapted for use in a sink provided with a metal drain-board. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the support shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a plan view thereof. l is a plan View of the blank from which the receptacle is formed. Fig. 5 is a view, similar to Fig. 1, showing an embodiment of the invention adapted for use with a sink having a wooden drain-board. Fig. 6 is a similar view showing the same support applied to a sink hav- 7 is a perspective view of the support shown in Figs. 5 and 6 before bendin Like reference characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.

As best indicated in Fig. i, the container is preferably formed from a paper blank (treated with paraffin or other moisture resisting substance) comprising the sector shaped body portion 1 and the side portions 2 and 3 that terminate, respectively, in the cover flap 4 and the edge flap 5.

portions 2 or 3 is also provided with a gummed sealing flap 6. When bent as shown in Figs. 1, 5 and 6, a container is formed of substantially the shape of a 90 segment of a cone, the sides 2 and 3 then being arranged at right angles to one another and secured together by the gummed flap 6, which is bent along the crease 8. After the flap 6 is gummed to the opposed side portion 2 or 3, the body portion may be pressed inwardly along the bisecting crease 9 1), and the sides then collapsed upon each other by bending about their intersection 10 (Fig. 1), the cover flap l being fiat along the side 2 (Figs. 1 and 6), thus providing for very convenient shipping. The size and shape of the flap .t is such that, when turned over the top of the receptacle, one hand of the user may grasp the lower part of the latter and the other hand may be pressed down upon and yet not come into actual contact with the contents thereof. The receptacle in this manner be very conveniently carried from the sink and its contents thrown, together with the receptacle itself, into the usual closed metal garbage receptacle or other receiver. The body and sides are preferably perforated as indicated at 12 to allow proper drainage.

The upper edges of the sides and 3 are provided with perforations or slots 13, one near each end thereof; and, as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, the receptacle may be supported on wire arms 15 and 16 that are crimped at 18 to form proiections which are adapted to extend through the corresponding perforations 13. From the intersecting point the arms are twisted together and ex tended downwardly to form supporting member 18 that terminates in a foot 19 which is adapted to rest directly on the bottom 20 of the usual sink. The sides 2 and 3 then conform to the sides 21 and 22 of the sink, the flap 1, when the sink is provided with a metal drain-board 23, being bent down along the corresponding side of the sink in the manner shown.

"When the sink has a wooden drain-board 24: (Fig. 5) or when it has no drain-board (Fig. 6), a support is formed by bending a wire in the manner indicated in Fig. '4'. lhis support includes an arm 25 crimped to form projections 26 which correspond to the projections 18 heretofore described; from the end of the arm the wire is looped in two preferably Ll-shaped ends 28 and 29, continuous with each other. The portion 29 is welded or otherwise secured at 30 to the adjacent end of the arm 25; and from the welding point the wire is extended parallel to the arm to form an anchor portion 31 which may have its end looped at 32 and terminates in an upwardly extending projection 33. It will be observed that the outer end of the flap 4 is perforated at 34. lVhen the receptacle is to be used in a sink having a wooden drain-board 24 (Fig. 5), the end 29 is bent down into the plane of the end 35 of the sink and the end 28 and anchor portion 31 are extended along the top of the drain-board, the loop'32 being engaged over a nail or the like 36. The receptacle is then hooked over the arm 25 (which is inclosed between the side 3 and the flap 5 in an obvious manner), and the flap 4 is turned out over the top of the drain-board until the projection 33 passes through the perforation 34. When the receptacle is filled the user places one hand against the bottom, then releases the flap 4 and bends it over upon the garbage. By continuing to press upon the cover the receptacle is gripped between the hands and may be detached from the supporting arm and thereafter thrown along with its contents into a more permanent receiver.

The same support is easily adapted to a sink having no drain-board (Fig. 6) by merely bending the end 28 down parallel to the end 29 so that the end 35 of the sink is inclo sed between them. The flap 4: rests on the projecting anchor portion 31 and is hooked over the end 33.

In the embodiments shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the flaps I and 5 (and in that which appears in Fig. l, the flap 5) cover and conceal the metal support for the most part and prevent corrosion.

It is clear that many changes may be made in the details of construction without departing from the spirit of my invention; for example, the edge of the flap 5 may be gummed to the side 3 to form a passage through which the wire 25 may be inserted. I do not, therefore, wish to be limited ex-- cept as indicated by the subjoined claims.

I claim 1. In combination with a sink, a garbage receptacle support mounted in position to support a garbage receptacle therein, said support including an arm having a plurality of spaced, upwardly extending projections thereon, and a paper garbage receptacle having perforations in which the projections are received, whereby the receptacle may be readily secured on the arm or detached therefrom.
