DEWEY E. KENNEDY, OF ROCHESTER. NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR, BY MESNE ASSIGN- incurs, 'ro' nmsnrr am) anna- BA'I'H CABDTET.
Application filed March 6, 1920. Serial No. 8,810.
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, DEWEY M. -KENNEDY,
' of Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bath Cabinets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the reference numerals marked thereon.
My present invention relates to furniture and more particularly to folding bath cabinets of a kind providmg an enclosed tub and its accessories and the invention hasjgor its object to produce a bath cabinet of chi type articularly adapted for the bathing of infants and which will be light, compactand convenient and easy to manipulate in both folding and extending the cabinet. To these and other ends the invention resides in certain improvements and combinations of parts all as will be hereinafter more fully described the novel features being pointed out in the claims at the end of the specification.
In the drawings:
Figure 1 is a front view of a bath cabinet constructed in accordance with and illustrating one embodiment of my invention;
the same being in folded position; Figure 2 is a side view thereof;
Figure 3 isa to view; Figure 4 is a II'OIIt'VlGW of the cabinet open, with the tub" and dressing table both in operative positions;
Figure 5 is a top View with the parts in the same position as in Figure 4;
Figure 6 is a central vertical section taken on the line 6-6 of Figure 4;
Figure 7 is a similar section but with the tub and dressing table in folded position;
Figure 8 is a front View with the cabinet extended or open and the tub only in operative position;
Figure 9 is a horizontal section on the line 9 9 of Figure 8;
Figure 10 is a front view with the parts inthe position of Figure 7;
Figure 11 is an enlarged fragmentary detail section showing the pivotal mounting of the folding tub, and
Figure 12 is an enlarged fragmentary de- 1 tion 1 is divide tail section on the line 12-12 of Figure 5, showing the joint support for the tub and dressing table.
Simi ar reference numerals throughout the several views indicate the same parts.
In the illustrated embodiment of my invention, I rovide a cabinet consisting of a shallow bo y portion the front of which is closed b two laterally swinging doors. Within t e body portion are folded a tub, preferably of a flexible or collapsible construction, and a dressing table upon which the child may be dressed after it is bathed. When extended, the dressing table overlies the tub and both are supported at forward points on the extended doors. Either may be independently folded. Referrin more particularly to the drawlngs, 1 indicates the shallow upright body portion of the cabinet preferably rectangular in form and supported upon legs 2. The front thereof is closed as in Figure 1 by two laterally swinging doors 3 hinged thereto at 4 and also preferably of rectangular form and of about the same depth as the body portion so that the overall depth of the entire cabinet is not great, as shown in Figures 2 and 3. The top of the cabinet as inportion and partly on thedoors and the latter are supported when extended upon le s 6 in which position they firmly brace t e body portion, particularly against weight disposed forwardly thereon, the doors being opened to right angle positions as shown, for instance, in Figure 5. When closed, the doors may be secured by hooks or latches 7 as shown in Figure 3.
About midwag of its height the body porinto upper and lower compartments 8 and 9 by a horizontally disposed rail or artition 10 and just below the rail there 1s pivoted to the body at 11 the rearward portion of a metal frame 12 carrying a soft rubber or other collapsible infants bathtub 13, which, when the frame is swung downw-ardl folds flat within the compartment 9 of t e body, as shown in Figure 7. Just above the rail 10 there is similarly pivoted at 14 to the sidewalls of the body the rearward portion of a metal frame 15 preferably covered with canvas 16 or otherwise-made soft and yieldingly -dicated at 5, is formed partly on the body lidcomfortable and constituting a dressing table adapted to fold on the ivot it into the ,upper compartment 8, as s own in F1 ure 7 where it may be secured by suitabe Figure 11 as constituting a pin turning in the side wall of the body portion 1 and embodying a square head or block 19 into.
which the angularly turned end 20 of the tub frame 12 is driven.
The outer wall 21 of each door 3 (Figures 9 and 12) has pivoted thereto at 22 a foldin bracket arm 23 just above a transverse rail 24: on the door that corresponds to and meets with rail on the body when the cabinet is closed. This rail 24 supports the bracket arm in the extended operative positionshown in the said figures and the arm, preferably formed of a continuous bent rod or wire, has an upwardly looped portion 25 and a depending hooked por tion 26, the hook of which is disposed outwardly. v
When ,it is desired to bathe the baby in the tub 13 the cabinet is extended from the position ofFigures 1, 2 and 3 by opening position of Figure 7 to that of Figure 6 and the forward corners 27 thereof (from which the rubber cloth has been cut away, as shown in Figures 9 and 12) are engaged in the hooks 23 as shown in detail in Figure 12, either the frame or the bracket arms, or both, being adapted to be sprung sufficiently to efiect this engagement. This supports the tub in a convenient position in the lap of the mother or nurse who may sit in a chair before the cabinet with plenty of foot room beneath it and with the doors 3 acting as lateral screens to intercept drafts. After the bathing is completed, the tub and 'its contents may be left 1n position for the time being and the dressing table swung downwardly from the position of Figure 7 to overlie the tub, as shown in Figure 6' and Figure 4, in which position, cut out portions 28 as shown in Figures 5 and 12, permit the frame 15 to be engaged over the upwardly projecting loops of the bracket arms 23, The canvas covering 16, constituting the dressing table top, provides a sanitary, and stable thou h sufiicientl: soft surface to support the c ild while d! ing and dressing it. The tub is later drained of its contents through a pet cook 29 in its bottom or dumped, if desired, when swung v A intense to the folded lyso, v The cabinet is also preferablhprovided on its interior with devices for nging or storing clothing, towels and toilet implements and articles used in connection with the bathing or dressing of the child, such as the wall pockets 30 shown in the upper compartment 8 of the body, the swinging racks or arms 31 mounted on the interior of the body and doors and, in the present instance, on the .top pieces 5 and the books 32 and towel bars 33 on the interior of the doors.
A baby bath cabinet constructed in accordance with my invention may be made light and compact, as shown, occupying very little space when folded and ofiering greatv convenience when extended for use both in the mannerin which it supports a tub and a dressing table and in regard to its capacity for storing the articles used in bathing.
