TIN 1T1 WILLIAM S. HOWARD, OF HAZLEHURST, MISSISSIPPI.
COMMODE.
Application filed March 7, 1917.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. HOWARD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hazlehurst, in the county of Copiah and State of Mississippi, have invented a new and useful Commode for Invalids, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in commodes. suitable for the use of invalids; and the objects thereof are: first, to relieve an invalid desiring discharge of fecal matter or urine, or both, by a simple and efiective device; second, to prevent the possibility of soiling the floor contiguously, during such evacuation; third, to minimize unpleasant odors incident to the discharge; and fourth, to secure these ends with structural simplicity and economy.
I attain these ends by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a top plan View of the structure embodying my invention; Fig. 2 is a side view thereof, showing the bucket in place; Fig. 3 is a transverse section thereof, on the line 33 of Fig. 1; and Fig. 4 is a horizontal sectional view, on line 4.- 1 of Fig. 2.
Similar designations indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
The frame of the structure is composed of a front board 1 and a rear board 2, the former having a notch 1" cut near the top. Seat boards 3 and 4 are provided so that the subject can sit thereon during discharge; these have cut-out portions 3 4 to follow the contour of the body. The open slot 5 permits the discharge into the bucket 14. The board 6 normally is disposed horizon tally; but when the patient desires use of the device the board, hinged at 7 is raised vertically so that urine will be guided by the grooves 8 into the bucket, and soiling the floor prevented.
The side rail 9 is rigid on one side, but its Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 241, 1917.
Serial No. 153,155.
counterpart 10 on the other side, is hinged at 11 to permit insertion and removal of the bucket, and can be locked in place by the hook 12 engaging eye 13.
The operation of my device is as follows:
When the patient desires to use the commode, and an open fire place is available, the structure is placed adjacent thereto, so that attendant odors will be absorbed by the current of combustion. The bucket 14: is then inserted by opening the hinged rail 10, which is then locked by the hook and eye 12, 13. The patient then sits on the boards 3, 1 and pulls up the board 6 so as to face the same. Then the discharge occurs, any flow of urine being guided by the grooves 8. Upon completing the operation, the bucket is withdrawn and emptied. The pail is of such altitude relatively to the under surface of the seat as to permit insertion of the hand of the attendant to clean the patient, after the operation.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim is:
The structure herein shown and described, serving as a commode for invalids, consisting of front and rear vertical boards, joined by the frame; the rigid side rail, on one side and the pivoted side rail, on the other side, serving to admit and withdraw the excrement bucket; the counterpart horizontal boards constituting the seat; and the pivoted grooved board, secured to the front board of the structure, assuming a vertical position, when in use, to guide urine into the bucket, in combination with the removable bucket, of such altitude relatively to the under side of the seat as to permit insertion of the hand of the attendant, for cleaning the patient after the operation, intermediately between the upper end of the bucket and the under surface of the seat, for the purpose herein fully shown and described.
WILLIAM S. HOWARD.
