Specification of Letters Patent. 'Patented Aug. 29, 1922.
Application filed'February 28, 1921. Serial No. 448,556.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. JAoKsoN,
Y a citizen of the United States, and residing Table, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to portable bath tubs for infants and especially tubs which may be placed conveniently above an ordinary bath tub, and the object of this invention is to provide a device of this character which may be collapsed so as to occupy a minimum amount of space when not in use and which may be cased for shipment at low cost.
This invention is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which Fig. 1 is a side elevation, Fig, 2 a plan, and Fig. 3 an end elevation of my collapsible bath tub mounted on an ordinary stationary tub.
is a detail of a leg. Fig. 6 is an elevation of the device when collapsed.
Similar reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views.
The frameof this collapsible bathtub and table consists of pairs of side barsl connected by the hinges 2, and the cross rods or bars 3, 4, 5 and 6 which connect the pairs of bars. Each bar is form'ed with a narrow slit 7 to receivethe sheet metal elbow 8 which extends into a slit in the upper end of a leg 9, as shown in Fig. 5. The pins 19 extend through the elbows and into the side bars. The legs may be swung up against the side bars when the device is collapsed.
Rods 10 extend across between the legs 9 and unite them securely into pairs. The ends of the legs are formed concave at 11, as shown in Fig. 3, so they may fit the rims of stationary bath tubs A. Screws 12 may be driven through the sides into the ends of the bars 3, 4, 5 and 6 to stiffen the frame.
Extending around the rods 3 and 4, as shown in Fig. 4-, and attached thereto, and preferably tacked to the side bars 1 excepting at the hinges, is a sheet 13 of duck, canvas or other strong fabric, which, when the Fig. 4 is a section on'the line 4-4 of Fig. '2. Fig. 5.
frame is opened to the position shown in Figs. 1, 2 and at, constitutes a flat and firm table on the frame on which the child may be undressed and dressed.
The bath is formed from a sheet 14 of water-proof material, such as impregnated or coated fabric or rubber, and its edges are tacked to the sides 1 and around the rods 5 and 6. One end is preferably lower than the other and in this a drainage device may be mounted, preferably consisting of an ordinary metallic grommet 15 and a tapering plug 16, a chain 17 and ring 18 being attached to the plug to prevent loss thereof.
The plug may be pushed up from below so no ring is necessary to pull it out of the grommet.
A hook 20 in the cross bar 3 may engage in the eye 21 in the cross bar 6 to secure the parts together for shipment. Other hooks 22 may be used to keep the legs 9 extended. It will be noticed that when the frame is collapsed as indicated in Fig. 6, that the device may be placed in a convenient and comparatively small case of corrugated board and sent by parcels post.
The details and proportions may all be changed by those skilled in the art without departingfrom the spirit of my invention as set forth in the following claims.
I claim z- 1. In a collapsible bath tub and dressing table, a pair of frame members each consist-- ing of two parts hinged together, cross rods connecting the frame members, a bath tub of fabric mounted on two cross rods on one side of the hinges, and a table extending from one end of the frame to beyond the hinges and having its ends attached to parallel cross rods.
2. In a collapsible bath tub and dressing table, the combination of a frame consisting of side bars and cross bars, the side bars being hinged together so that the frame may be folded together, legs pivoted to the side bars and adapted to be swung up against said bars, a sheet of fabric attached to a pair of cross bars and the side bars to con stitute a table when the frame has been expanded, and a second sheet of fabric atta'ched to a second pair of cross bars and the side bars to constitute a bath tub.
3. Ina, combinatiton bath tub and dressing table, the combination with pairs of substantially parallel side bars pivotally connected to each other at their adjacent ends, cross bars extending between the side bars v of one pair, another cross bar extending between the side bars of the other pair, a pliable bath tub mounted upon a pair of the first-mentioned cross bars, and a fabric mounted upon one of the first mentioned cross bars and said lastmentioned cross bar, said fabric constituting a table top.
