TGM() TANAKA, OFKNEW' YORK, N.
BATH-TUB snaai T alla/'710m vft may concern Be it known that I, TOMO TANAKA, a subject of the Mikado of Japan, and a resident of the c'ity of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Bath-Tub Seat, of which the ,following is a full, clear, and eXact description.
This invention relates to improvements in bath tub seats, and has for an object to provide an improved construction which may be readily applied and removed, and wh1ch is simple, strong and effective when 1n opera tion.
Another object of the invention is to provide a seat of the character mentioned which is flexible when in use, and which may be 1 readily adjusted for presenting a seat of different heights as occasion may demand.
In the accompanying drawings-Figure 1 .is a detailed fragmentary perspective view of a bath tub with an embodiment of the inven tion applied thereto; Fig. 2 is an enlarged detailed fragmentary section through the seat shown, in Fig. 1, the same being taken approximately on line 2-2g Fig. 3 is a cle-- vtailed fragmentary sectional view showing a slightly modified form of supporting hook.
Referring to the accompanying drawings by numerals, 1 indicates a tub of any de, sired kind, which tub is provided with the usual roll edges 2 and 3. Hooked over the edges 2 and 3 are hooks 4, which hooks are covered with a rubber covering so 'as not. to injure the enamel or porcelain on the tub. The hooks 4 may be screwed into the strip of wood 5 as shown in Fig. 2,*or may extend entirely through the strip of wood, as shown in Fig. 3, and receive a washer' or other retaining member, or be turned over and form a retaining hook 4. rlhe strip of wood 5 has wrapped thereover a strip of canvas 7 or other suitable fabric which is provided with an extension 8 shown along lines 9 and 10. A row of eyelets 11 are provided in the extension 8, said eyelets being metal as shown in Fig. 2, or thread, as preferred. These eyelets are designed 'to receive the lacing cord 12, which lacing cord is passed through eyelets 13 formed similar to eyelets 11. Eyelets 13 are arranged in the body 14 of the seat, the same, however, being positioned near the edge of the seat, as clearly shown in Figs. 1 and 2. In order to prevent the puckering or gathering of the edge of the seat Specification of Letters Patent.
`l4 may be adjusted Patented aan@ 2a, isis.
Application filed September 2S, 1914. Serial No. 863,557.
the same is provided with a strip 15 preferably of wood over which the material of the seat 14 is folded or wrapped. The opposite edge of body 14 to that carrying eyelets 13 is looped and provided with a row of stitches 16, whereby the reversing and bracing strip 17 maybe properly arranged in place for receiving the hooks 4 at that end of the seat. By providing eyelets 11 and 13 as just described, and the lacing member 12, the body so as to present a-high seat or a low seat, as preferred.v When the lacing cord 12 is arranged for providing a low seat the body 14 sags downwardly as shown at dotted line 18. This sagging of the, body 14 may be carried to any desired extent for providing the height of seat de-4 sired. Preferably, the strips 5, 15 and 17 are made from wood,
but of course they may be made from other time without molesting the lacing. It is oi course evident that the lacing can be adjusted to provide a seat of any height, but
if it was necessary to adjust the lacing toy remove the seat considerable time would he necessary in carrying out such operation. For this reason the seat is preferably arranged at all times so` as to be longer than the device is wide which would necessarily cause the same to bow downwardly somewhat into the tub but would allow the hooks to be easily removedwithout-loosening the' lacings.
That 1 claim is In a bath tub seat of the character described, a flexible body having loops at each end, means for connecting the ends of said loops to said body so as to provide passageways, reinforcing members afranged in each of said loops for stiifening the edges of the body, said body being provided along the edge of one of said loops with 'a row of apertures, hook members connected with the reinforcing .member of the opposite loop, a retaining strip having apertures therein sol complementary to the apertures in said body, said retaining strip having a loop, a reinforcing bar arranged in said loop, hooks connected. with said reinforcing bei' adapted to fit over the tub, and a lacing threaded through said apertures for adjustably connecting' seid body with said retaining strip.
