AUX LIAR SEAT.
asaaeee.
To all whom it may concern: 7
Beit .knownthatl, VVAL'rnR J. DIEHL, oit'ifi'en of the United States, residing at St. Louis, in the county of St. Louis and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Auxiliary Seats, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an improved aux iliary seat for toilets.
To this end the invention has in view a sanitary portable seat that may be conveniently carried with other luggage in traveling to be available for use on the standard seat to afford protection for the user, or more especially, provide a comfortable seat for children.
A further object of the invention is to provide a novel seat and adjustable supporting means therefor.
With the above and other objects in view which will more readily appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described illustrated and claimed.
A preferred and practical embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in which:
Figure 1 is a plan view of the device illustrating its application.
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1.
Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view of the seat.
Similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.
In carrying the invention into effect, it is proposed to provide an auxiliary seat 1 that may be in the form of a ring as shown in the drawings, and formed from pressed or stamped sheet metal or equivalent material. This seat preferably has the novel cross sectional shape shown to provide for the comfort of the user and also reinforce the same. That is to say, the body of the seat 1 is preferably of the channeled or semi-elliptical shape shown having the inturned or rolled edge flange 2, curved surface 3, a dependingskirt or abutment portion 4 forengaging with the main seat. This formation of the ring 1 provides convenient means for housing the guide straps 5 located at diametrically opposite points of the ring, in such a manner that the flanges 6 and 7 thereof may a ncauonai d September 4', 1920. Serial No. 408,221.
Specification of Iietters Patent. Pmg fie 15, 1
be conveniently secured to the flange 2 and body ofthe ring'by welding or equivalent means to provide rigid guideloops'for re- SZQlVlI'lgT-hfi arms of the adjustable supportmg frames 8 and 9, as will presently appear.
For positioning the auxiliary seat 1 on the standard seat S, the supports or frames 8 and 9 above referred to may be conveniently employed, the same consisting in the embodiment illustrated, of the relatively stout wires or rods bent into the general formation shown to span the opening in the standard seat and engage the sides of the latter while the arms 8 and9 thereof slidably fit in the guide loops or straps 5 concealed beneath and housed by the curved body portion ofthe ring. As shown, the arms 8 and 9 of the supports enter the straps from opposite sides and fit snugly within the straps to afford sufiicient frictional engagement to prevent undue'slipping of the frames when set in the desired adjusted position.
From the foregoing it will be apparent thata distinctive feature of the invention is the provision of a seat ring slidably shaped to provide a comfortable seating surface, and at the same time presenting a reinforced structure which facilitates the securing of the supportingmeans thereto. Also, since the depending skirt portion 4 projects below the plane of the supporting frames the same constitutes a depending abutment for preventing slipping of the auxiliary seat from the main seat due to the said skirt portion 4 engaging with the edge of the opening in the main seat, as will be apparent. In connection with the adjustable supports it will of course be understood that the same may be readily adjusted at right angles to the diameter of the ring which intersects the straps 5,
thereby enabling the auxiliary seat to be Without further description it is believed that the features and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent and it will of course be understood that changes in the form, proportion and minor details of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of the invention or scope I of the appended claims. I v
I claim 1. An auxiliary seat of the class described including a seat ring having a rolled edge flange and a depending skirt flange and an intervening curved body, guide straps se cured in the valley of the said curved body,
lIlClllCllIlg a seat body of curved cross-section and supports engaging with the seat within and oppositely adjustable supporting frames engaging in said straps.
2. An auxiliary seat of the class described including a seat ring having a body of substantially semi-elliptical cross section, guide straps secured to the ring in the included curve of the body, and oppositely adjustable supporting elements engaging in said guide straps.
3. An auxiliary seat of the class described including a seat body of curved cross section, ;and oppositely adjustable supports having the arms thereof engaging with the seat Within the included curve thereof.
4:. An auxiliary seat of the class described the included curve thereof.
