azz' er citizennof'gthe United States', residingat Mahnheinn-7 `in i thev countyfof 'Lancaster and .State., of Pennsylvania, v have invented new andylisflll Improvements in Toilet Accessoriesf.o`ff whichfthe ,following isV a speciliventio-'nghas reference to a nner 'object ,is the provision of a ucted and easily attached'deom act. nature andl provided with ipporting tl1ere o-1'1`,av comb, a a ltube' of tooth, paste, a glass toothl brushes;v or 'nail' ybrushes oth loijtowel, the last mentmeans. .eiligl swing'able .and self sup- ,ingfwhen in entended .'positionor when @gilit the'bodyfdf the improvement.
A i lject islthel provision of'a depurposefwhich shall be of an in construction and cheaprrofi't; at a low cost.
itedfobjects in view y Iippafr as the nature .o e. invention cis 'betterunderstood, 'the improvement 'resides ,f'inythe construction, combination and operative association of partszsuch. as is vdiscloscifi by the drawings and set forth'` in vthe 'appended claims.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improvement.
Figure 2 is a substantially central vertical longitudinal sectional view therethrough.
Figure 3 is a fra entary horizontal sectional view througmthe body of the improvement to disclose the manner in which the arms of the towel rack are supported for turning therein..
All of the parts of my improvement, excepting the securing means, the soap tray, the yoke support for the brushes and the cloth or towel rack are preferably of wood suitably` enameled to add to the ornamentality of the device, while the metal parts are preferably of aluminum and are nickeled to present a pleasing eiect.
The wooden body of the im rovement is indicated by the numeral 1, an as disclosed in Figure 1 of the drawings is provided with two spaced openin for `screws 2 that attach the body to the wall of a bathroom or e andwhic'h ischaracterisvherebylthe Same. may

to any other suitable support'."The heads of the screws engage with ventinjury to the body.
The top of the bodylis rounded to ad-d washers to preto the ornamentality thereof, andy at a suit-` able distance below the top there is secured onthe body l an`outstanding flange pro- 'viding a shelf'. The outer wall of the shelf is rounded and the sides thereof are concaved to the rear edges at the straight in- Y ner end 'of the said shelf. The top 'of the shelf is formed with al round depression 4 for the'receptionof avturnbler 5;
The sides of the body, approximately in a line ywith the shelf 3 has connected thereto outstanding yokes 6 throughy which the hani dles 'of 'nail and tooth brushesare passed,
the bristles Iof the said brushes resting on the'yokes.v i' e f L'Atja suitable distance below the shelf 3 thereis secured onthebody 1 a strip of molding whoseupper face is concaved. The molding provides a ledge 7` on whicha4 tube of tooth paste is designed to be supported.
lThe lower'edge 1of the body hasfattfached i thereto, at points inward ofthesidestlireof, ain outwardlydirected 'flange 8andthe provided with spaced slots through which` are passed screws 13 that enter the body 1. The heads of these screws contact with washers. u
The sides of the body 1, at a suitable distance from the lower portion of the said Kbody, are formed with substantially V- shaped notches 14, but the inner walls of these. notches are straight. The side walls provided by the notches are grooved, as at upper Wall of this flange is grooved longi- 15'to provide pockets for the inner angle ends 16 of a U-shaped wire member 17 that provides a cloth or towel support. The sides -of the support 17, adjacent to the juncture thereof with the ends 16, are an larly disposed as at 18. These angle portions 18 will rest on the lower walls or the V-shaped notches 14 when the support 17 is in horizontal position as disclosed in Figures 1 and 2 of the drawings, and the said angle portions will likewise contact with the upper walls of the notches when the support`17 is swung against the body 1. In this connection it is to be stated that the arms of the substantially U-shaped support 17 exert a pressure toward each other so that the said support will be self-sustaining in its inoperative position. To more eectively brace the support in either its operative or inoperative positions, the ends 16 of the said support are provided with annular grooves 19, and the said grooves are engaged by the ends of adjustable elements in the nature of screws 20 that pass through the rear of the body 1. The screws 20 may exert a frictional engagement against the inner wall of the groove 19, and the said screws also prevent the ends l6`of the support being moved out of the ooves 15.
The improvement is of a small and compact nature which may be readily attached to a support without injury thereto. The device presents a useful, durable, ornamental and sanitary article for bedroom, bathroom, kitchen,.etc. The improvement supports in relative association toilet articles which are ordinarily scattered around a bathroom or the like or which are separately supported in such room so that with its use a large amount of room' space is saved and the marring of the walls incident to the insertion therein of various toilet article supporting means is overcome. l
Having described the invention, what I claim is l.' In a device for the purpose setforth, a-
at body having outstanding means thereon for supporting various toilet articles, said body having its edges, adjacent its bottom formed with V-shaped notches, a bail-shaped towel support of resilient material having offset ends pocketed in the body in a line with the said notches, and the sides of the support, at the juncture of the an le ends thereof being angularly disposed or contacting engagement with the opposite walls of the notches when the support is swung against or at an outward angle on the body.
v2. In a device for the purpose set forth, a fiat body having outstanding means thereon for supporting various toilet articles,
said body having its edges, adjacent its bottom formed with V-shaped notches, a bailsha ed towel support of resilient material having offset ends .pocketed in the body in Ya line with the said notches, and the sides of the support, at the juncture of the angle ends thereof being angularly disposed for contacting engagement with the opposite walls of the notches when the su port is swung against or at an outward ang e on the body, and the sides of the saidV support exerting a tension toward each other.
3. In a device for the purpose set forth, a flat body having outstanding means thereon for supporting. various toilet articles, said body having its edges, adjacent its bottom formed with V-shaped notches, a bailshaped towel support of resilient material having offset ends pocketed in the body in a line with the said notches, the sides of the support, at the juncture of the angle ends thereof being angularly disposed for contacting engagement with the opposite walls ofthe notches when the support is swung against or at an outward angle on the body, the sides of the said support exerting a tension toward each other, and binding means between the body and the ends of the support pocketed in said body for preventing the free swinging of the' support and the withdrawal thereof from the body.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
DANIEL B. SI-IIFFER.
