SANITARY WATER-CLOSET SEAT.
inoaioe.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 1, 1919.
Application filed March 17, 1919. Serial No. 283,097.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that ll, CHRISTIAN ENGLEMAN,
' a citizen of the United States, and resident hll of Vancouver, in the county of Clarke and State of Washington, have invented a new and useful Sanitary VVatenCloset Seat, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relateslo improvements in water closet seats in which an ordinary water closet bowl is provided with lateral wings for the seat portion, and. this seat portion automatically covered with clean toilet paper which, after having been sat on, is automatically reeled OH to be used by the occupant for cleansing purposes.
The objects of my invention are: first, to provide a seat which reduces the chances of befouling the front or rear to a minimum; second, to avoid the transmittal of infectious diseases by having the seat portion covered automatically with clean toilet paper; third, to force the individual whooccupied the seat to lift said seat from the bowl before a supply of toilet paper can be obtained, so that the bowl is unobstructed. for the use as a urinal; fourth, to minimize squandering of toilet .paper by demanding an extra effort before an extra supply can be obtained;
fifth, to provide a mechanism which, considering its advantages, is comparatively simple to manufacture; sixth, to provide a mechanism which can easily be added to any water closet bowl already installed.
T attain these objects with the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure l[ is a plan view of the entire mechanism ready for occupancy; Fig. H, a front elevation of the, right half of Fig. T; F g.
III, a front elevation of the'left half of Fig.
l,.but showing treadle and wing in the raised position; Fig. TV, a side elevation of Fig. l with'wing and treadle in raised positlon; Fig. V, a rear elevation of the wing in Fig. TV; Fig. Vll is a cross section through the wing along the line a-a in Fig. IV.
Similar numeralsrefer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Drums 1, pivotally mountedin the bearings 2 of the floor stands 3 on each side of the water closetbowl' a, carry the wings 5.
which form the seat for the occupant.
Attached to the front pivots of the drums,- so as torotate with the drums, are the pulleys ti. ll-lioused within said pulleys are coil springs (not shown in the drawing) having one end attached to the pulleys at 6 and the other end secured in the bearings 2 at 6*; said coil springs keeping the wings 5 normally off the bowl and in the position shown in Fig. lllll. Chains or belts 7, reach The catch 9 engages the treadle and holds the wings down for occupancy. After the latter a step on the catch 9 releases the treadle 8 and the coil springs within the pulleys 6 force the wings into the original position.
The extent of the outward swing for the wings being predetermined by the noses 10 on the pulleys 6 coming to rest on the lugs 11 of the floor stands 3.
Referring now particularly to the details in Fig. VI, the drum 1 is provided with a spring cover 12 forthe insertion of a roll of toilet paper 13. From thence the paper is drawn over the seat by the roller 1%, being and compels said paper to travel over the seat as the roller 14 rotates. The loose end of the paper emerges at 18 where it may be taken hold of by the user. A metal strip 19, parallel to the auxiliary roller 16, furnishes the cutting edge along which the paper may be torn o v To cause the roller 14 to rotate at the ris mg ,motion of the wing 5 and thereby not only to cover the seat with clean paper but also topay out the end at the point 18, there is introduced a gear mechanism which is illustrated in detail in Fig. V. On the drum pivot is loosely mounted a bevel gear 19* (the teeth being shown in dotted lines) with ratchet teeth on the circumference. Whenever the wing is lowered this bevel gear will be carried along by the pawl 20 but; on raising the wing rotation of the gearwill be prevented by the pawl 21, so that the gear functions as a rack to rotate the pinion shaft 22; and this pinion shaft transfers the rotation to the bevel gear 23, which latter is secured to the" roller 14. Thu my purpos i achieved. v
The same .gear mechanism is also indicated partly'in dotted lines in Fig. I,
Numeral 24 indicates the customary cover for the water closet bowl 4.
Having described my invention, it will be seen that myobjects have been accomplished and, though I have explained the preferred form of construction, I reserve to myself the right to make minor changes in details so long as I do not violate the spirit and principle of my'invention.
I claim:
1. In a device of the character described, the combination of two floor stands side by side, rotary drums adapted to receive rolls of toilet paper attached to the floor stands, Wings projecting from the drums, a treadle between the floor stands, operating mechanism between treadle and drums capable of v oscillating said wings to and from each other, gearing mechanism between drums and wlngs, saidtgearlng mechanism on operation of the treadle being capable of drawing the toilet paper over one side of the wings and exposing the loose ends for severance.
:2. In a device of the character described, the combination of rotary drums mounted in floor stands at both sides of a water closet bowl, wings projecting from the drums capable of forming a seat over the bowl, :1 treadle in front of the bowl, operating mechanism between treadle and drums capable of raising the wings from the bowl, and gearing mechanism between drums and wings capable of drawing strips of toilet paper from the drums over the Wings and exposing the loose ends for severance.
Signed by me at Portland, Oregon, this 10th day of March, 1919.
CHRISTIAN ENGLEMAN.
