WATER-CLOSET.
Specification of Letters Patent. I
Patented 001;. 16, 1917.
Application filed August 1, 1916. Serial No. 112,578.
To all whom it mag concern:
Be it known that I, LU'ruun F. ERWIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fort Payne, in the county of Dekalb and State of' Alabama, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Water- Closets, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to waterclosets, particularly to the hopper of a water closet, and has for its object to provide a hopper which shall be sanitary, convenient for personal use under all conditions and seasons, and which shall be thoroughly washed whenever flushed so that no odor arises therefrom. v
Another object of the invention is designedto provide integral supports extending up\\"ardly from the hopper which form a rest'for the back of the user when sitting on the hopper and also as a seat when, as in public service stations and other places open to the public, the user prefers a seat having a minimum-amount of surface in contact .with uncovered portions of the body.
A further object of the invention is directed to clamping means mounted on said supports for temporarily securing paper or cloth which the user may wrap around the supports as a protection during cold weather.-
when the water closet is in an unheated room. 7 p
With the above and other ob ects in vlew,
the invention consists of the construction and combination of parts now to be described, pointed out in the 'claims and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which,
Figure 1' is a perspective view of the hopper in position and coupled up for use, Fig. 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Fig. 1, and
Fig. 3 is a detail view of the upper ends of the arms.
Referring to the drawings, 10 is the hopper as a whole, made entirely of porcelain enalneled metal, the top 11 of which at the front of the hopper is flat and lies in a horizontal plane. This top may itself form the seat or serve as a support for the usual wooden seat, not shown. The front of the hopper 10 is narrowed and projects forwardly as at 12 and in the top is a depression' to form a urine trough 13 that is continuous rearwardly with the bowl 14.
At the rear of the seat portion proper and about midway the depth of the hopper from front to rear are two arms 15 and 16 that project vertically a distance ofv six or eight inches from the top 11 of the hopper on each side of the bowl 11, and at the top these arms extend horizontally toward each other over the bowl as at 17. The ends of the extensions 17 are spaced apart a few inches as shown, and on the under side of each is secured a plate 19 that extends to the space 20 between the extensions. These plates are retained in place by bolts 18 and may be resilient. They serve to hold paper or cloth wrapped around the extensions when the latter are used as a seat in cold weather.
- Behind the arms 15, 16 and separated from them a suitable distance is an upstanding back 22, integral with the rear of the hopper 10 and extending a little higher than the top of said arms. The front wall 23 of the back 22 is flat and disposed vertically at the top, gradually merging with the sides of in a similar groove 28 just below the inner edge of the top 11 of the hopper that extends forwardly from the back to the front of the urine trough 13. This pipe also has numerous small perforations 26 for streams of water directed over the walls of the bowl 14 and the urine trough.
A pipe 29 extends from a flushing tank, not shown, of any construction and is connected at the top of the back 22 to the perforated flushing pipe 25. Avalve 30 in the pipe- 29 controls the flow of water and is opened by means hereinafter described.
Integrally formed with the hopper 10 on each side just below the top 11 is an outwardly projecting ledge or bracket 31, flat on the top with a depression 32 therein at the front end and a depression 33 in rear thereof. Through the bottom of one of the rear depressions 33 is a hole 34 in which a rod 35 slides freely, the lower end of said rod having pivotal connection with one end of a lever 36, fulcrumed between its ends to ed at its other end to the stem 38 of valve 30. Depression of the rod 35 opens the valve 30 which is closed by a spring within the valve casing or Where most convenient and efficient. A horizontal plate 39 is fastened on the top of the rod 35 within the depression 33 and affords a broad and readily porthis feet on the ledges or brackets 31,
flushing the hopper after use by depressing the rod 35 through pressure of the foot on plate 39, and opening the flushing'valve.
' The extensions 17 being spaced apart, the
external organs do not contact therewith, and such extensions having relatively small area, little surface is exposed for contact with the uncovered portions of the body so that danger of contracting contagious diseases in a public place is greatly lessened.
In cold weather, the user may, for comfort, wrap the extensions and the upper ends of the arms with paper and secure such wrappings by means of the spring plates 19.
While I have herein shown and described only one specific form of the invention it will be understood that changes and modifications might be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope and my invention and hence I do not wish to be limited to the exact disclosure but only to such points as may be set forth in the'claims.
' I claim:
1. In a water closet, a hopper having the usual seating portion, and a pairof'integral upstanding arms with flat tops which together form a higher supplemental seat in rear of the main seat.
2. In a water closet, a hopper having the usual seating portion, and an upstanding arm on each side at the rear of the seat, each arm having an inturned end with a fiat top, said arms together forming both a back rest and a supplemental seat.
3. In a water closet, a hopper having the usual seating portion upstanding arms forming a supplementa seat at the rear of said portion, and laterally extending supports for the feet on the sides of the hopper.
4. In a water closet, a hopper, an upstanding arm on each side of said hopper intermediate the front and rear of the same, said hopper in front of the arms having a flat top to form a seat, the upper ends of the arms forming a supplemental seat, and sup- 6. In a water closet the combinatlon with the hopper having a seat, of upstanding i11- tegral arms in rear of the seat having inwardly turned upper ends, and a back integral with the hopper in rear of and spaced from said arms, the front wall of said back being continuous with the interior of the ho per.
f In a water closet, the combination with the hopper having a seat, of upstanding integral arms at the rear of the seat having inturned upper ends spaced apart, a back integral with the hopper in rear of and separated from said arms, and a perforated flushing pipe surrounding the inner wall of said back and the top of the hopper.
8. In a water closet, the combination with the hopper having an integral back projecting above the top of the hopper, said back having a vertical front wall and an over hanging flange around the edgethereof, of upstanding arms between said back and the front of the hopper and integral therewith, and a perforated flushing pipe extending around the front wall within the flange thereof and around the inner side of the hopper at the top.
9. In a water closet, the combination with the hopper, of a back'integral with said hop- 4 per and pro1ecting above the top thereof, a vertical front wall for said back continuous with the interior of the hopper, a flange grooved on its inner edge surrounding the top and sides of said wall, a perforated flushing pipe tinuous with a like pipe around the hopper top, and upstanding arms between said back and the front of the hopper and integral with the hopper.
' 10. In a water closet, the combination with the hopper having a seat, of upstanding arms having inturned upper ends in rear of the seat, and clamping means on the under sides of the inturned ends.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
