UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
ALBERT KLEIN, on NEW ORK, N. Y.
ATTACHMENT FOR wnrnnsonosnr SEATS.
"To all whom it may concern:
7 Be it knownthat I, ALBERT IQLEIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York,in the eountyof New York and State of .New York, have invented a new and useful attachment for Water-Gloset Seats, "of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to attachments vfor water closet seats and the object is to pro- 10 vide means for manually raising or lowering the lid and seat without the necessity of taking hold of the same by the hand. Another object is to provide operating means for the purpose which may be easily lainstalled in connection with water closet seats already in use and which occupy a minimum amount of space atone side and .to the rear of the seat in such position as to be within easy reach of an operator who may, by a simple movement -of the hand, raise the-seat of a water closet and at the same time,the lid thereof, which by reason of being placed above the said seat'willauto- "matically be lifted also, or lowered, as desired. a
" A full and complete understanding of the invention may be obtained from a consider- "ation of the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying so'drawing forming apart of this specifica- 'tion; it being understood that while the drawing shows a practical form of the invention, the latter is not confined to strict conformity therewith, but may be changed or modified, so long as such changes or ymodifications mark no material departure r from the salient features of the invention, as
specifically pointed out "in the appended claims,
40- In the drawing, in which :similar reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout the several figures Figure 1 is a perspective view of a water closet of ordinary construction having the improved operating means applied thereto and showing the seat thereof in raised position in dotted'linesu Fig. 2 is a detail horizontal sectional View taken through the rear portion of the water closet and showing the manner of hinging the seat and lid and the means for operating the same.
Fig. 3 is a detail vertical sectional view illustratin the manner of mounting the actuating ar for operating the seat and lid.
The device of the present invention is de- Specifica'tion of Letters Patent.
p'ecially, it is possible to dispense with the same to the wall behind the closet, while the lower end of the said shaft 1 is mounted in PatentedJuly 1, 1919.
Application filed. May 15, 1919. Serial No. 297,178.
signed primarily for use in department stores 1 and houses, 'oflice buildings, public comfort stationsand in any and all toilets in crowded places where many careless and unscrupulous persons are free to use the same and often vantage for use in private toilets and has be'en'constru'cted with a view to its ready installation in connection wlth water closets already in use.
In the first mentioned class of toilets csuse of ordinary urinals which are expensive to lnstallr and maintain, occupy a considerable amount of space and are often objectionable and unsanitary, the present devlce being calculated to operate the seats and lids of closets so that the latter may be used in the manner suggested.
, 'To thisend the device includes a vertically disposed operating shaft 1 of a length to ex- --tend from the floor to a point sufiieiently above the elevated lid and seat of a water closet to permit of the attachment of an -operating handle 2 in a position to be readily grasped by the hand ofqthe operator. The handle 2 is provided with a collar surrounding the shaft 1 and adapted to be held in any desired adjustment by a set screw 3 thus enabling the same to be elevated or lowered upon the 1 shaft.-
The upper end of the shaft has a bearing in an inverted socket 4; carried by an arm 5 which is connected to an attaching plate 6 ihaving'suitable apertures for the reception of screws which are adapted to secure the a ste bearing 7, suitably secured to the .fioor in vertical alinement with the socket 4, so that the shaft 1 isheld against lateral displacement "and permitted tofreely rotate .through the 'medium of the operating the bearing eye of the post 9 located adjacent to the shaft 1 and is adapted to have secured to the end thereof, as through the medium of a suitable set screw, a beveled. pinion 12 in meshing relation with a similar pinion 13 mounted on the vertical shaft 1,
and adapted to be rotated thereby, when the said shaft is actuated. Y 1
As illustrated in the drawing, the bowl 11 is equipped with a seat lformed in the usual manner and a lid 15 therefor, which are adapted to. be raised or lowered simultaneously when operated by the handle 2,
ering of the seat 1 1 when the said pintle 1 of the drawing.
is provided with the hinge eyes 16 secured though it is to be understood that where it is desired touse the bowl as a seat and as a urinal, the lid 15 may bedispensed. with andthe device operated to raise the seat alone, as indicated .in dotted lines in Fig. In either event the seat to the said seat in the usual manner and adapted to fit between the eyes of the posts 9 and to be traversed by .thehingepintle 8, to which they are securely held by set screws 17 which insures the raising or 'lowis rotated.
The hinge eyes 18 of the lid 15'are loosely 'mounted upon the pintle Sand fit between the eyes 16 of the seat 1 1 in the usual manner and it will be seen that the lid 15 may be readily raised or lowered by hand without disturbing the seat but when the device is actuated bytheihandle 2 the seat is adapted to prevent the accidental engagement of the same with the clothing of a person, said casing being" provided with appropriate apertures for the reception of the shaft 1 and the pintle 8 and having matching ears 20 for thereception of screws to hold the said sections together and an arm 21; extending from one of the sections and provided with an attaching plate 22 fitting against the wall and adapted to be secured thereto, as by screws, in vertical alinement with the aforesaid attaching plate 6, thus acting as an intermediate brace or. stiffening means forthe actuating shaft 1 in addition to supporting the gear casing19.
. copies of this patent may be obtained for From the foregoing it will be seen that a simple means has been devised for actuating the seats of water closets whereby the necessity for touching the same by hand is obviated and that the said means may be readily installed for use in connection with closets already in use without any alterationbeing necessary thereto and that the device is located in an out-of-the-way posi-g tion, though within easy reach of the operator,'the mechanism being of such a simple character as to be manufactured, sold and installed at a minimum cost and when once properly adjusted will not become deranged.
What is claimed is 1. In combination with a watercloset including a hinged seat, an attachment comprising a vertical rotary shaft having an actuating handle, a floor socket formin a bearing for the lower end thereof, a soc et structure engaging the upper end of the shaft and including an armextending from an attaching plate adapted to be secured to a wall, a bevel gear secured to the shaft intermediate of its ends and adjacent to the hinge-pintle of said seat, said pintle being extended on the side opposite the shaft and fast'to the seat, and a bevel gear secured onsaid extension and in meshing relation with the first named, gear to raise or lower the seat upon a manipulation of the actuating handle, V
2. An attachment for water closets, comprising a vertically disposed shaft, upper and lower socket members adapted to be mounted on the wall and floor respectively adjacent to the bowl of the closet said sock- "ets forming bearings for said shaft, an actuating handle secured to the shaft, a bevel gear mounted on the shaft in operative relation to the hinge-pintle of the water closet seat, said pintle being fast to the seat and extended toward, the shaft, a bevel gear the first-named gear, and a casing inclosing the gears and attachable to the wall to shield the gears and brace said shaft. 1
' mounted on said extension and meshing with In testimony that I claim the foregoing as ALBERT KLEIN.
