FOLDING TOILET-SEATL' Specification of Letters Patent.
Patent ed Ma1-. 3, 1914.
Application filed June a, 1912. Serial no". 702,059.
Be it-known that I, HENRY citiien of the United States, city of St. Louis, State of invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Toilet-Seats, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the'accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
y improvements residing at the invention relates to new and useful in, folding toilet-seats for childrens use, the principal object of my invention being to provide a simple, inexpenbe easily and quickly unfolded and placed in position upon an ordinary water closet seat or bowl.
Further objects of my invention are to occupy comparatively little space when not in use or during storage or transportation, and ,furtlfer to provide the seat with means whereby it may be readily ordinary closet seat or bowl without injury thereto, and which attaching means is adjustable in order that the detachable seat may be used in connection with all sizes of ordinary toilet seats and bowls.
- To the abovepurposes, my invention consists in certain novel features of construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, claimed and illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 11s a perspective view of a folding toilet-seat, of my improved construction, the
same being shown in open position; Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the seat when'folded Fig. 3 is a plan view on a larger scale of my. improved folding seat positioned upon anordinar-y toilet seat;Fig. 4 is a 'vertical section taken on the line 4-4, of Fig. 3; and Fig. 5 is an enlarged" detail section taken on the. line 5-5 of Fig. .3. I
In the construction of the seat as shown; the seat proper having the usual opening 11, and'hinged to the rear 12, which, if desired, may be padded or upholstered as shown. It wlll be noted (see particularly Fig. 1) that back 12 through an arcof erative position, they a and seat 10 areso hinged together as to be capable of folding or hingedly moving only hence have only a restricted folding movementrelatively to. each other, and that, when back 12 and seat-10 are in unfolded or in oput against each BLOCK, a
Missouri, have other asshown, back 12 abutting flatwise along the bottom against the rear thereby held in upright position approximately at right angles to seat 10 when in unfolded or in operative position. Swinging rails or bars 13 are ivotally mounted between their ends on t e sides of the seat 10 near its front edge and are freely swingablerelatively thereto, and fixed to and arranged between the lower ends of these swinging bars is a of its front face directly folded, so as to attached to the approximately 90 and 15 are preferably formed in the upper portions of the bars 13,-in order to receive the end portions of a suitable child-retaining strap 16. Pivotally con'necwd to the u per ends of the bars 13 and to the sides 0 the face of seat 10 and being foot rest 14. Aper'tures seat-back 12 and freely .swingable relatively thereto are arm rails 17.
Positioned on the underside of the seat 10 immediately to the rear of the opening therein is a transversely disposed substan-' tially U-shaped plate 18, the legor end portions 19 of which are extended 'rearwardly and' slotted as designated by 20. The ends of said rearwardly-extended portions or legs 19 are curved downwardly and outwardly, and are incased' in caps 21 of rubber or analogous material so as toprevent marring or injuring the varnished or glazed surfaces with which they may come in contact. Screws 22 which pass and are seated in the underslde of the'seat 10 provide means for-locking the plate 18 and its carried parts after ad uStment.
through the slots 20 Slotted plates 23' are arranged on the underside of the seat 10 to the sides of the opening 11. Depending from the rear endsv justed so that when the seat 10 is positioned for use, the caps 21 and blocks 25 bear di-' .rectly against the edges of the ordinary.
toilet seat. or
folding seat during the time it is being used.
When the device 1s not in use,the back 12 is folded forwardly onto the seat 10,: and this movement swings the foot rest 14 into posibowl, thus firmly holding the.
and 23 and carried parts are ad- 1 tion against the underside of the seatas I ing seat on the fixed seat or I tains the parts in unfolded, operative I tionsand that back 12 is freely foldable at simplemans whereby children may safely and conveniently have the use of toilet seats and bowls ordinarily used 'by' adults.
It will be readily understood that minor changes in the size, form, and construction of the various parts of'my improved device may be made and substituted for those herein shown and described without departing from the spirit of my invention, the scope of which is set forth appended claims.
shown in Fig 2. Thus the entire seat can be folded so as to occupy com a-ratively" little space while not in use, or w ile being shipped from factory to market. Y
The folding seatcan be instantly opened by grasp ng the upper end of the seat back 1 and giv ng the same a quick jerk away from the seat 10, which action swings the back 12 and seat 10 apart and into operative position and consequently and simultanein the Having thus described my invention,- what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patcut is:
' 1. In a portable folding seat of the class described, a seat having an opening, a substantially U-shaped plate adjustably mounted on the under side of said seat to one side of said opening, the legs of said plate being provided with depending curved extensions presented rearwardly, and plates adjustably carried on the underside of said. seat to the sides of said opening and provided adjacent one end thereof with depending members, substantially as and for the purposes described.
2. In a portable folding seat of the class described, a seat stantially U-shaped plate adjust-ably mounted on the under side of said seat to one side of said opening. the legs of said plate being provided with depending curved extensions presented rearwardly, plates ad ust-ably carried on the under side of said seat to the sides of said opening, and separate members attached to, and depending from, said plates I seat opening or. no further adjustments are required, is a simple matter to locate the fold- "bowl inasmuch as it is only necessary to engage the downwardly curved ends of the plate 18 against the rear edge of the opening in the closet seat or bowl andthen bear downward upon the forward portion of the seat 10 to force the rubber covered pins 24 against the side i gdgiisof the opening in said closet seat or bowl, and it It will be seen that, bars 13 and rails 17 being freely swingable and free from'engaging shoulders or other abut-ting surfaces, the abutting of back 12, when unfolded, flatwise alongl the lower portion of its front face below t e hinge line thereof directly against the rear face of seat 10 alone main- POSI- all times when seat 10 i not occupied by a person fiatwisethereupdn into inoperative osition without any prior manipulation of ars 13 andrails 17 or their carried footrest 14.
and for the purposes described.
