BATH-CABINET.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DON L. THOMPSON, a citizen of the United States, residin at in the county of Spokane, btate of WVashin ton, have invented certain new and useful Tmprovements in Bath-Cabinets; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the in vention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same. I
This invention is an improvement in bath cabinets and has particular reference to a hot air and steam cabinet.
In the treatment of patients, in cabinets of the class herein specified, it often becomes desirable to use dry heat together with the steam or vapor since, by so doing, a patient is better enabled to withstand a higher degree of heat than when only steam is employed.
It is proposed, in the present invention,
to provide an improved means of using dry heat in connection with the steam for heating the interior of the cabinet.
Another object is to provide a, cabinet of this character, which is simple in construction, easy to manufacture and eifective in carrying out the purpose for whichv it is de signed.
The inventive idea involved is capable of receiving a variety of mechanical expressions some of which, for the purpose of ill ustrating the invention, are. shown in the accompanying drawing. wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly broken away, of the cabinet constructed in accordance with the invention.
Fig.2 is a fragmentary tion.
Fig. 3 is a transverse section on the line of Fig. 1. I I r F ig. 4 is a view similar to Fig. 2 showing a. slightly different form of the invention.
The cabinet is illustrated as comprising a body portion 5 having the usual supporting legs 6 and provided at one end with a head rest 7 for supporting the head of the patient whose body is lying within the cabinet. As the construction of the cabinet just described forms no particular part of the present invention, it is to be expressly understood that any form of cabinet may be employed.
The invention resides in mounting the main steam pipe 8 within the space below the compartment longitudinal sec- Specification of Letters Patent.

and abovethe bottom of the cabinet, said plpe extending longitudinally of. the cabinet and having one end connected to a spout'9- of a kettle 10, or other receptacle mounted upon a gas stove or other source of heat 11 so that the Water in the kettlemay be raised to the boiling point to generate steam which enters the pipe 8 through the spout 9. The end of the pipe 8 remote from the spout 9 is bent upon itself to provide a steam outlet pipe 12 having a row of longitudinally alined openings 13 in the bottom thereof for permitting the steam in the pipe to escape into the cabinet. The object of using the two additional pipes 12 and 14 is to give greater dry hot air radiating surface. The placing of the pipes one above the other, a longitudinal position, in coil like fashion and the placing of the openings 15 on the lower side of the lower pipe tends to hinder or obstruct the free flow of steam through the pipes thus augmenting the amount of dry heat radiated by sa1d steam. The escaped steam from the openings 13 will mix with the dry heat radiating from the pipes, and thus temper the steam as it comes in contact with the occupant of the cabinet and it is for the purpose of increasing dry heat radiation and of facilitating the mixture of the dry heat and steam that the pipes 8 and 12 are arranged in superposed or vertically alined relation.
When it is desired to increase the dry heat, radiation, the pipe 12 is made without the openings 13 therein and a steam'outlet pipe 14 shown in Fig. 4 is connected to the free end of thepipe 12 and in a plane directly beneath said pipe and adjacent the bottom of the cabinet, said pipe 14 having a row of alined openings 15 in the bottom thereof to water of condensation in the pipe escaping. Thus by providing a greater radiating suramount of dry heat will be produced which will mix with the steam arising from the opening 15.
It is apparent also that by driving the steam downwardly instead of permitting it to rise through the coil. the pressure of the steam is slightly raised with a consequent increase in temperature while any vapor that escapes from-the drain openings in the bottom sections of the coil will, in rising, come in contact with the very hot coils, and will be raised in temperature and further expanded so as to not dampen the atmos extends horizontally permit of the steam and that a greater pass from one hot pipe to the one next above where it will be so dried out and'expandedas to raise the temperature oi the an m the cabinet without dampening it to any degree that can be appreciated.
lVhat is claimed is l. A bath cabinet comprising a hollow body portion having a patient receiving compartment in its upper portion and a steam conveying pipe entering the body por- 7 tion and including a plurality of mutually connected sections disposed one below another beneath the patient-receiving compartment the lower-most section having a series of outlet openings located longitudinally of its lower-most portion for passage of live steam therefrom upwardly of both sides of the section to both sides of the sections thereabove, the pipe being otherwise without an outlet.
