IMPROVEMENT IN VAPOR-BATH A-PPARATUS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
I, VURSULA L. LEETE, of Owego, in the county of Tioga and State of New York, have invented certain` Improvements in Vapor-Baths, of which the following is a specification.
The nature of my invention consists in First, a receptacle or tub, in which the heated liquoris introduced, and which is provided with a peri tin-ated cover, through which the vapor passes, and upon which is placed an adjustable perforated spring bed-plate, upon which the patient reclines while the vapor is being freely diused about the body.
Second, in providing an adjustable head-piece to the hcdfplate, so that the patient mayeither sit or reclne, as may be mostconveuient during the bath.
Third, in the arrangement and combinationof the deviceshereaiter set forth and described, so as to form a newl and improved 'vapor-hath apparatus.
Figure 1 isa plan of my invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevation of the same.
Figure 3 is an end elevation of the same.
A is the bathing-tub, provided with a valve, v, for the purpose'of introducing the heated wateror other liquid.
l is a perforated plate, on which are fastened springs s.
C is a perforaiel plate, one end, D', of which overhangs the tub, for the purpose of keeping the head of the bather dry and cool when in a recumbent position, and which is hinged so that the forward end may be I adjusted to any angle toV a right one, by means of the expansive legs 1 l.
D is a wire frame,'which prevents the covering from resting upon the'person of the bather. I
1n using this bath the hather rests upon the perforated plate O, one end of which is, or has been, adjusted to suit any desired position by means of the expansive legs l l the covering is then fastened over all of the person of the bather, excepting, most generally, thehead, and heated u'ater or 'other liquid allowed to enter the tub by means ofthe valve V.
Claims.
1. A vapor-bath apparatus, in which the steam or heated liquor is received in a receptacle at the bottom,
and las'cends through a perforated cover at the top of said receptacle, and through an adjustable perforated bed-plate above said cover, substantially as described.
v2. In combination with the elements enumerated in the first clause, the jointed head-piece D', by means of which the head of the patient maybe raised or depressed,^and kept beyond the influence of the vapor, v 'substantially as described.
