to be as follows:-
The liquid receiving vessel of this invention is designed with the object of
preventing noise from falling liquid and of concealing the contents of the vessel.
For this purpose the vessel of any suitable shape is provided below the top
with an inclined ledge upon which is placed an inclined liquid receivingo plate
nearly fitting round the vessel and provided with an upwardly projecting rim for
guiding the liquid to and. through an opening in the lower part of the inclined

- An Improved Vessel for the Reception of Urine and other
Liquids.
I, JACOB DAUBENSPECK RUSH of Logan Avenue, San Diego, San Diego
County, California, U.S.A., Clerk, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The liquid receiving vessel of this invention is designed with the object of
preventing noise from falling liquid and of concealing the contents of the vessel.
In the drawing,
Fig. 1 is a vertical section of the vessel. Fig. 2 a top view of the same with
the cover and handle removed.
Fig. 3 is a view looking towards the lower edge of the inclined receiving plate,
a portion of the vessel being broken away to show the internal parts more
clearly.
Fig. 4 is a similar view towards the upper edge of the inclined receiving plate.
Figs. 5 and 6 respectively a sectional elevation and a sectional plan shewing the
receiving plate as half the size of the vessel.
A is a vessel of any suitable shape and capacity. The upper part may be made
slightly taper to admit readily the receiving plate B having an encircling rim b
which in one place is cut away as is also the edge of the plate so as to form a
small recess or opening at 6'. At its upper edge the plate has two small
lugs and a suitable handle by which it may be removed and replaced.

page_text: Within the vessel A is a ledge a of the same inclination as the plate B which
rests upon it. At the lower side this ledge directly under the recess 6' of plate B,
is depressed, has a curved shape and is at this point a', a little longer and a little
wider than the recess above it so that water will fall directly and gently upon it
and be directed by it noiselessly down the side of the vessel. At its upper edge
the ledge a is cut away between the points a', a², and against the ends of this cut-
away portion the lugs of plate B bear to hold said plate in position. Water
falling but a short distance and without noise upon the inclined receiving plate B
will be confined by its rim and conducted down to the opening through which
it will pass and falling on the curved face of a will flow noiselessly down the
surface of the vessel into the space below the receiving plate where it will be out
of sight.
The inclined receiving plate B may be readily removed and replaced, and when
emoved the contents of the vessel may be freely discharged through the cut-away
portion au of the ledge a said portion being opposite the handle C for
convenience of handling.
The receiving plate may also instead of being removable, be
smaller area than the inside of the vessel as shewn in Figs. 5 and 6.
plate may also be used in connection with any vessel into which it
conduct any liquid noiselessly.
The vessel A may be provided with or may be without the cover.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is ;
1. In vessels for the purpose referred to, an inclined ledge below the top of the
same, an inclined receiving plate supported upon said ledge, having an encircling
rim to confine and direct the liquid, and an opening in its lower side in close
proximity to the adjacent wall of the vessel and a curved lug or moulding
projecting from said wall directly under the opening whereby the liquid passing
through it is directed to and flows down the inner surface of the vessel, sub-
stantially as described and shewn.
2. The general construction, arrangement, and combination of parts constituting
the vessel for the reception of urine and other liquids, substantially as described
.and shewn.
