Description
F. IMHORST.
Improvement in Chaffiber Pots.
Patented March 19, 1372.
WW M To all whom it may concern: f
Be it known that I, FERDINAND 'IMrroRsr, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Chamber-Pots and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in
which drawing- Figure 1 represents a vertical central sectionof this invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are top views thereof with the cover removed.
Similar letters indicate corresponding parts.
This invention consists in forming a chamber-pot, especially at its mouth, of an oval, pear, or egg shape, and arranging upon the i upper edge an inwardly-projecting flange in such a manner that when the vessel is sad denlymoved, the danger of spilling the contents is materially lessened, the flange preventing their escaping or splashing over.
In the accompanying illustration of this invention, the letter A designates a chamberpot which is, in this instance, made in the shape of an egg, but which may alsobe pear or oval shaped, if desired. On the upper edge of this vessel 1 have. formed an inwardly-projecting flange, a a, and an outwardly-projecting-flange, b b. The flange a a I consider of great advantage in the construction of a chamber-pot, as, by suddenly moving the vessel the contents thereof are necessarily agitated and brought out of position, and thereby have a tendency to splash over the edge. By forming the inner flange on the .upper edge, however, this is obviated, as the contents, if tossed FERDINAND IMHORST, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN CHAMBER-POTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 124,824, dated March 19, 1872.
about, will strike this flange and be arrested and prevented from leaving the vessel. object of the outwardly-projectin g flange b b is to form, in combination with .the inwardly-pro jecting flange a a, a convenient seat, which shall be wide enough to form a good surface to support the body.
Forming the chamber in an oval or egg shape is of advantage, not only by bein g thereby better adapted to the human figure, and therefore presenting an easy surface to rest upon, but also, by obviating the tendency, which characterizes round-mouthed chambers, to distend the muscles of the lower part of the body and produce the disorder commonly known as piles. Another advantage of this form of mouth in utensils of this description, consists in the facility for emptying, by means of its narrow ends, as the contents can bebetter directed and controlled than when the mouth of the utensil is circular. The inside flange a can terminate or vanish at either or both ends, so as to form a good outlet or passage for emptying the vessel; and in Fig. 2 the flange is thus interrupted or made to vanish at the end opposite the handle 0.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
As a new article of manufacture, an oval, pear, or egg shaped chamber-pot, provided with an inwardly-projecting flange, a, upon its upper edge substantially as and for the purposeset forth.
FERDINAND IMHORST.
