Removable tub divider

Abstract

An example tub divider includes a wall moveable between an installed position and an uninstalled position. The wall partitions a tub when in the installed position. A lock pin moves between a first position and a biased position. The lock pin limits movement of the wall when in the first position. An example divided tub assembly includes a plurality of tub sidewalls and a tub at least partially defined by the tub sidewalls. A removable wall is moveable to an installed position for partitioning the tub. A wall extension of the removable wall is receivable within a sidewall aperture defined by one of the tub sidewalls. The wall extension guides movement of the removable wall. A cap has a cap extension for receipt within a cap aperture defined by one the tub sidewalls. The cap limits relative movement between the removable wall and the tub.

1 . A tub divider, comprising:
 a wall moveable between an installed position and an uninstalled position, said wall partitioning a tub when in the installed position; and   a lock pin moveable between a first position and a biased position, said lock pin limiting movement of said wall when in the first position.   
     
     
         2 . The tub divider of  claim 1 , wherein said lock pin limits movement of said wall between the installed position and the uninstalled position. 
     
     
         3 . The tub divider of  claim 1 , wherein moving said wall to the installed position moves said lock pin to the biased position. 
     
     
         4 . The tub divider of  claim 1 , including a tab extending from said lock pin, wherein moving said tab moves said lock pin between the first position and the biased position. 
     
     
         5 . The tub divider of  claim 1 , wherein in the first position, the lock pin extends further from said wall than it does in the biased position. 
     
     
         6 . The tub divider of  claim 1 , wherein said wall houses at least a portion of said lock pin. 
     
     
         7 . The tub divider of  claim 6 , including a second lock pin, wherein opposing sides of said wall house at least a portion of said lock pin and said second lock pin. 
     
     
         8 . The tub divider of  claim 1 , including a cover for limiting relative movement between said lock pin and said wall. 
     
     
         9 . The tub divider of  claim 1 , wherein a spring biases said lock pin. 
     
     
         10 . The tub divider of  claim 9 , wherein said spring comprises a coil spring. 
     
     
         11 . A divided tub assembly, comprising:
 a tub;   a removable wall for partitioning said tub;   a flange extending from at least one of said tub and said removable wall, said flange engaging a slot on the other of said tub and said removable wall, said flange for limiting relative movement between said removable wall and said tub; and   a lock pin moveable between a first position and a biased position, said lock pin limiting movement of said wall when in the first position.   
     
     
         12 . The divided tub assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said tub defines an aperture for receiving said lock pin in the first position. 
     
     
         13 . The divided tub assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said flange is a dovetail type flange. 
     
     
         14 . The divided tub assembly of  claim 11 , including a spring for biasing said lock pin. 
     
     
         15 . The divided tub assembly of  claim 14 , wherein said spring receives a portion of said lock pin. 
     
     
         16 . The divided tub assembly of  claim 11 , wherein said removable wall includes more than one lock pin. 
     
     
         17 . A divided tub assembly, comprising:
 a plurality of tub sidewalls;   a tub at least partially defined by said plurality of tub sidewalls;   a removable wall moveable to an installed position for partitioning said tub;   a wall extension of said removable wall for receipt within a sidewall aperture defined by one of said plurality of tub sidewalls, said wall extension for guiding movement of said removable wall; and   a cap having a cap extension for receipt within a cap aperture defined by one of said plurality of tub sidewalls, said cap limiting relative movement between said removable wall and said tub.   
     
     
         18 . The divided tub assembly of  claim 17 , wherein said wall extension extends in a generally downward direction. 
     
     
         19 . The divided tub assembly of  claim 18 , wherein said wall extension comprises an extension pin. 
     
     
         20 . The divided tub assembly of  claim 18 , wherein said cap extension comprises an extension tab.
