M. ROSEN..
sANmARY WATER cLosET SEAT.
APPLICATION HLED OCT- 2711916.
`MAX ROSEN, F PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
To all 'whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, MAX ROSEN, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing in the city 'and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and'useful Sanitary VVater-Closet Seat, of which the following is a specification.
My inventiony consists of a water closet seat which is made sanitary by the application thereto of a disinfectant or similar material successively'to the 'two surfaces of the seat, so as to present a lfreshly disinfected seating surface tothe occupant.
To this end I employ a seat proper and a channeled or gutter-like member which is adapted to receive material as aforesaid, into which the portion of the seat Vthat is below is adapted to dip, and said seat is reversible so as tofbring the freshly-disinfectedly-treated portion to the top for occu- Y pation in said condition.
The invention is satlsfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the 1m- 4portant instrumentalities thereof may be varied, and soit is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific details shown and described. Y
Figure I represents a perspective view of a sanitary water closet seat embodying my invention, the seat proper thereof being raised.
Fig. 2 represents a diamejmical section y thereof Von an enlarged scale, the seat proper being closed.
Fig. 3 represents a transverse section thereof on line 3-3 Fig. 2.
Fig. 4 represents a plan view of the disinfectant-holding member employed.
Fig. 5' represents a partial side elevation and partial vertical section, on an enlarged scale, of the connecting devices of the seat proper and the channeled member employed.
Fig. 6 represents a top or plan view thereof.
Fig. 7 represents a plan view of a portion of the seat.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring to the drawings.
1 ldesignates the seat or seat proper of a water closet, the same being formed `preferr. ly of wood, as well known. 2 designates guttered base formed of particularly metal or other suitable material of substantially of the contourof the seat, and whose Specification of Letters I'atent.
SANITARY WATER-CLOSET SEAT.
Patented Feb. 6, 1917.
Appneation ined october 27, 191e. serial No. 128,000;
opening 3 is in register with the opening 4 of the seat.
In'the bottom of the gutter 5 of the base 2 is the depressedohannel 6 in which is seated the c0rd,'batting, or wicking 7 of fibrous material which in order to 'be retained in thefchan'nel is inclosed in a sheath, 8, such as a coil of wire, or some suitable tubing which weights said wicking, it being noticed that the gutter of the base 2 is adapted to receive a disinfectant, and Ithat the under portion of the seat is adapted tof enter the gutter, and so be subjected to-the action of the disinfectant.
The rearI of the se at 14 is connected with the rear of the base 2 by a hinge that renders the seat reversible, lence after it has been occupied and used it may be turned so as to -bring the face of the portion4 of the seat in the gutter to the top and so present a freshly disinfected surface cf'the seat to the next` occupant, whilewh'en as theseat is lowered the surface that was above enters the gutter and so is subjected tc the disinfectant therein, and so by raising, reversing and loweringthe seat, the disinfection of the two surfaces of the seat ma y be continued.
The hinge of the seat and base consists of the cup or sockel` 9 which is secured to the base 2, and the pin 10 whose head occupies the interior of said cup Vand forms with said cup a bal and socket joint. In the crown of the socket is an l opening the pin 10 whereby said cup 9 may turn on said shank so thatthe reversal of the seat may be accomplishe i.
f The shank l1 is threaded and fitted in a threaded opening in the arm or 'hanger-12 whose upper end is pivotally connected as at 13 with ears 14 which rise from the plate 15, the latter being secured to the rear portion of the base by the screws `16 or other suitable means. I
It will be seen that the seat may be drawn forward the arm l2 swinging forward on its pivot 13 and describing an upward axial motion, whereby the seat is raised clear of the base as shown in Fig. 1. Then the. scat may be reversed and lowered and mov rearwardly with thearm 12m-1d so plxe over the gutter 5 and lowered into the hase. the seat then being idaptcd to bc, occupied as usual. s
The rear 0f the bane has connected with it l the'butts or leaves 18 of hinges for connecting the base with a bowl or the frame of the box thereof, whereby both the base and seat may be raised as one for access to the interior of the bowl-and thcn lowered in operative position.
. The channel 6 particularly is adapted to contain the disinfectant which will be absorbed iny part by the wicking' 7, and so passed off therefrom` as' to 'reach the under side of the Aseat to apply the same thereto.
On theinner and outer edges of the seat 1 are the gasketsrl? which are inserted into said edges and so secured in position, vthey being' so disposedthat ywhen the seat is in lowermost position theyabut the top wall of 'the gutter forming means for' sealing the latter and preventing the escape of the disinfectant thereat.
The material employedas adisinfectant or germicide lwill be preferably of a. fluid nature so as to be absorbed by the batting or wicking 7, and its vaporsor fumes passed off therefrom to the underside of the seat to render the same of the' sanitary nature as hereinbefore stated.
The sheath with 4its inclosed absorbent material 7 is retained in the gutter 5 by the straps-19.whichare placed over the formerand secured to the adjacent Wall of the gutter 5, as most plainly shown in Figs.
`1 and 2.
Having thus described my invention, what 4I'claiv as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. A. sanitary seat for a Water closet comprising aguttered base adapted to contain material of a sanitarynature, a seat proper which is adapted to enter said base, a swingling arm which is pivotally mounted on` a member rising from said base, and a ball and socket like joint, the members of which j are connected respectivelywith said seat and arm adapting said seat proper toj be raised and lowered from and to said base and refwversed, and present either 'of the faces of seat proper for occupation-above, and`-4 either face -into saidbase.
2.; In a sanitary seat for a water closet, av
base provided with a gutter and a channel below said gutter in communication therewith, said channel being adapted .to contain material of a sanitary nature, and a seat proper adapted to be raised and lowered and reversed and have either of its faces enter said gutter, said channel having therein a piece of absorbent for said material, and an open sheath around said piece adapted to weight the same.
3. A sanitary seat for a water closet comn prising a guttercd base adapted to contain materialoi' a' sanitary nature, a seat-proper which is adapted to enter said base, a swinging arm, a bearing on said base for said arm, a ball and socket like joint, the members of which are connected .respectively with lsaid seat and arm adaptingsaid seat proper to ,be raised and lowered from and to said base and reversed, and vpresent either of the faces of said seat proper for occupation above., and either face 'into said base, and means on said base adapting the combined base and, seat proper for connection with the closet adapting them to be raised and lowered asv one respectively from and to the closetbowl.
4. In a sanitary seat for a water closet,.a base provided with a gutter adapted to'contain material of a sanitary nature, and a seat proper adapted to be raised and low- V ered and reversed and have either of its faces enter said gutter, the latter having. therein a piece of absorbent for said material, said gutterhaving in its lowered portion a channel adapted to contain said piece of absorbent therein. Y i
