FRANK LESLIE, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN PORTABLE COVERS FOR VAPOR BATHING.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 157,846, dated December 15, 1874; application filed November '7, 1874.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANK LESLIE, of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new Improvement in Portable (lover for Vapor Bathing, of which the following is a specification:
The invention will first be fully described, and then pointed out in the claims.
In the drawing, Figure 1 represents a vertical section of the cover extended, and supported as when it is in use. Fig. 2 is adetail of the upper portion of the cover. Fig. 3rep' resents the cover collapsed, as when not in use.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.
This cover is a tube made of cloth or of any suitable kind of flexible material, tapering from the base upward, and having a hoop or band of wire or wood at the ends to expand the tube to the proper diameter, and one or more intermediate hoops or bands to keep the cover expanded when in use, and allow it to collapse after the manner of a Ghineselantern.
A is the base, 13 the top, and O O the intermediate expanding hoops or bands. D is a flat cover over the top, having an aperture, E, to which is attached a short tube, F, of cloth or flexible material. The head of the bather is protruded through the aperture E and tube F, and the leather, serving as a collar, is drawn tightly around the neck by means of the contracting-cords G G. To the under side of the top D are attached two wires or stays, H H. These stays are attached at their ends and low downward. I I are straps, made of any suitable material, attached to the top I) at their ends, and extend over the stays H transversely. These straps set upon the shoulders of the bather, and thus serve to relieve the neck of the bat-her of the weight of the cover.
The cover may be made of any desired length and diameter, and of any material which will confine vapor.
Ordinarily thevapor will be generated within the cover by means of a suitable apparatus; but it may be introduced by means of a tube, if desired.
The manner of using the cover is illustrated in Fig. 1.
This cover is very light, and when-collapsed, as seen in Fig. 3, it occupies no more space (in depth) than the thickness of one hoop. These hoops may be made of elastic material, similar, but necessarily heavier, than those used in hoop-skirts, so that the cover may, when collapsed, be compressed and carried in a trunk or bag by travelers, and be used as oocasion may require.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is
1. A collapsible and expansible bath-cover, consisting of a flexible neck-tube, F, and a series of horizontal and upwardly-decreasing hoops, connected by flexible air-tight material, as shown and described.
2. The combination of stays H H and straps I I with a'bath-cover, as and for the purpose specified.
FRANK LESLIE.
