To mil whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE W. GARNISB, a. citizen 0:3 the United States, residing at Yerinouthville, in the county of (Jumberland Store of Maine, have invented cerizein new d useful improvements in Cabinets,
oh the following is e specification.
Myiovention consists in s new and useful rovemeni in cabinets, end is designed to 1 a. vrd cabinet provided with bashing means combinasion with s. dressing table and L s s and rocks suitable for containing .a dis; ing any all articles requisite -d dressing. is more periloudesigned for use in bathing and dre infants and on especial feelure of its oi the various parts may be altered by the use of one hand only, allowing she attendant 'io support the infant in one hand and se- 1 re the necessary arrange em; oil Lhe parts h other hand. The various parts are signed to be so related and proportioned that they are readily accessible to the user, and maybe utilized with the minimum of eiioria. A poriicularly important fee-lure of the relation end proportion of the ports is that their use does not compel the user to bend or stoop, an advantage of paramount value in the case of use of the cabinet by the mother of on infant. When (she ports are arranged for the purpose of dressin on inface s-he dressing table is adopted to be equipped with a novel form of safety bell. -suitable for securing the infant upon the table with ample comfort; and safety, while allowing 9. moderate freedom of movement.
Another valuable feature of the invention isthe sanitary character of the parts and their arrangement afi ording opportunity for removal of the bathing means and thorough cleaning of all parts liable to become soiled in the use of the cabinet. g
The invention is embodied in the details of construction illustrated in the drawings and hereinafter fully described, but I do not consider my invention limited to the specific embodiment herein set forth end refer for its see c to the claims appended hereto.
In t-e drawings: Fig. 1 is a. perspective view of e cabinet embodying the invention, indicating the parts in normal position when the cabinet isnot in'use. v a
Fig. 2 is a view similar to Fig. 1 indicat icy consisi'ss in the fact that the relsiion ing the parts in position for use of the cabinet for bathing purposes.
Fig. 3 is a, perspective view of a portion of ihe cabinet iigdicsting the ports in osiision for use of the cabinet for dressing co purposes.
Fig. l is a. vertical sectional view of the device.
In the drawings:
The numeral 1 designates an improved cabinet embodying my invention, provided wish the end wells 1, l and the bottom 1 and top li extending between said end walls. Between the top 1? and bottom 1 oil; a. point slightly to the rear of the vertical-median W line of she ends extends between the ends the partition 1 The foregoing structure provides o. receptacle 2 as the front of the cabinet, and a receptacle 3st the rear. Lo- I ested in the top I and subsientielly equal is so the surface area of the receptacle 2 is the removable cover 2. The front of the recepiscle 2 is provided with s. door 2* hinged oh its lower'edge by hinges 2 to :ohe bottom 1. Boob the cover 2 and door may be provided with pull rings 2 and 2 respectively to facilitate the removal of the cover 2 ondopening of the door 2". met M of rubber or any suitable material may be pieced upon the bottom 1 within the receprecle 2, and upon this inst M may be placed a. bllill tub 'l or any suit able bathing utensil.
The cabinet is mounted upon legs 1 and is provided with a, shelf l below the bottom 1 and extending between the legs 19 Depending from the bottom 1 are hangers 1 end pins l -extending from the two front legs 1 to support the cover 2, which may thus be readily disposed of when removed from the receptacle.
The receptacle 3 is provided with 9. door Smounted on hinges 3 upon the bottom 1. This door may also be provided with a pull ring such as the one upon the door 2*.
Within the receptacle 3, the end walls 1* and 1 are provided with cleats 3 upon which is mounted a. spring roller 4, such as is use-d for window shades. Upon roller 4 is mounted a flexible sheet 5 of canvas, sanifiery webbing or any similar suitable material. The ourer edge of'this sheet 5 is threaded through a slot 1 in the top 1 located above rig id rod 5 having flattened ends 5 extending beyond the ends of the edge of the sheet 5. Located at the front end u on the top of the end walls 1 and l are t e clips 5 adapted to receive therein the flattened ends 5 of the rod 5. The sheet 5 is r0.- vided upon its sides with the loops 5 w ich are adapted to pass over the upper edges of the end walls 1' and l and be received upon the knobs 5 thereon. When the sheet 5 is drawn from the roller 4 and stretched both extending between the upwardly ex tending projections 1" and 1 of the end walls 1" and 1". Between the walls 6 and 6, a division wall 6* forms a large receptacle adjacent the end wall 1 and several division walls 6 form a number of receptacles through the remaining width of the cabinet. The large receptacle has a separate cover 6 and the other receptacles have a common cover 6*. The covers 6 and 6 are hinged to the rear wall 6 by the hinges 6, and are provided with knobs 6 to facilitate opening.
Upon the outside of the end walls 1 and l near the top 1 are located at front and rear blocks 1 and 1 'respectively. Journaled in the blocks 1 is a rod 7 upon each end of which ismounted a bar 7. These bars 7 are connected by rods 7 any desired numher being provided. A similar'construction is. mounted in the blocks'l struction provides a rack upon each end of the cabinet. The rods 7 are ,provided at their ends with threaded portions 7 upon which are carried wing nuts 7 permitting tension to be put upon the rods7 by binding the wing nuts against the blocks 1 and 1"", thus permitting adjustment of the bars 7 at any angle relative to the cabinet, and allowing the racks to be disposed as desired.
In the center of the outer face of the wall 6, there is provided a screw eye 6 to which the improved safety belt 8 may be attached by means of the snap-hook 8. The reference character I designates the figure of an infant to whomthe belt 8 is applied. As shown, the belt is designed to encircle the bodyapproximate'ly at the waist line. Two straps 8 and 8 of muslin, webbing or any suitable material are provided with loops 8" and 8 respectively. at one end of each strap through which the belt 8 passes at the back of the infant I. The strap 8 has a loop 8 through which the strap 8 passes at a point approximately in the small of the back of the infant. The two straps 8" and This con- 8 thus crossed under the infants back, passover his shoulders and are a ain crossed over his breast, strap 8 passlng through loop 8 in the strap 8". Both straps 8 and 8 are provided with several loops 8 through which passes the belt 8, passing around the front of the waist of the infant. Providing several loops S in each strap 8 and 8 permits adjustment of the belt 8 in accordance with the size of the infant. A strap 8 has at one end a ring 8 through which the belt 8 is passed, and the strap 8 is provided with a snap hook 8 which is fastened in the ring 5 attached to the rod 5 and extending through the hem 5 of the sheet 5.
The foregoing description regarding the safety belt indicates its use when the infant is placed upon the pad P upon the sheet 5.
If it is desired to use the safety belt when the infant is in the tub T, the snap-hook 8 is fastened in the screw-eye 6 located in the edge of the top 1 at the rear of the opening formed by the removal of the top l at the rear of the opening formed by the removal of the cover 2 of the receptacle 2 and the snap-hook 8 is fastenedin the screw eye 5 located in the edge of the top 1 at the front of the opening. i
The relation of the parts of the safety belt 8 and the straps 8 and 8 is such that when it is adjusted upon the infant in the tub, it is not possible for the infant to lie down.
From the foregoing description, the use it will be understood that its use is by no means limited to use for the care of infants.
The parts being in the position indicated in Fig. 1, the cover 2* is removed and placed beneath the bottom 1 resting upon the hangers l and 1 The door-'2 being opened and swung downwardly, the receptacle 2 is'now open and ready to receive the mat M and the bath tub T, which may be filled withwater either before it is'placed in the receptacle 2, or by pouring the water into the tub through the top opening afforded by the removal of the cover 2*. The parts are now in the position indicated in Fig 2, and the cabinet is ready for bathing the infant. During the bath, should the mother or attendant be called away, and it is not desired to remove the infant from the tub T the Fig. 2, preventing the infant from getting out of the tub or lying down in the tub, while unattended.
7 The infant may be taken from the bath tab safety belt may be applied as indicated in T and held in the left arm of the mother or attendant, and the sheet 5 put in lace to afford a dressing table. This may e done by using the right hand only, thus obviating the necessity for laying the infant down during the adjustment of the dressing table. Taking hold of the screw-eye 5 the mother or attendant may draw the sheet 5 upwardly its full length. The sheet 5 is then lowered over the open top of the receptacle 2 and the flattened end 5 of the rod 5 at the lefthand side is slipped into its corresponding clip 5. The hand can then he slid along the rod 5 to the right-hand end and the fiattened end 5 at that end, adjusted in its corresponding clip 5 The loops 5 may then be placed over the knobs 5 and the sheet 5 1s properly stretched to form the dressing table, and a pad P may be placed thereon, upon which the infant may be laid.
Through the opening afforded by the door 2*, the bath tub T may be removed from the receptacle 2 without disturbing the infant upon the dressing table.
The receptacles at the rear of the dressing table alford repositories for toilet and medical accessories of the bath, and'infant dressing, such as safety pins, powder, cold cream, medical bandages, etc. Owing to the location of these receptacles, the articles ,contained therein are readily accessible to the mother or attendant while bathing and dressing the infant.
If it is desired to leave the infant upon the dressing table, the safety belt may be adjusted as indicated in Fig. 4.
