Patented Dec. 25, 1923.
E'FED YATES PATENT oer-ice.
HOLDING AND SERVING DEVICE FOR TOILET-SEAT COVE! 01S.
Application filed September 7, 1922. Serial No. 586,580.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that 1, JAMES E. Jones, a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful'Improvements in Holdingand Serving Devices for Toilet- Seat Coverings; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of my invention is the provision of a device or means for normally securely holding in place superimposed layers of toilet seat coverings, generally consisting of sheets of paper out to the required shape, said device having aspring or springs which press the sheets towards the o ening therein, and a push bar or rod or for compressing the spring or springs so the layers of the paper may be loosened enabling the operator to withdraw the top sheet of the layers without displacing any of the sheets beneath. T
A further object is the provision ofa device of this character which will maintain the l' yers of paper in a sanitarycondition, free rom dust and dirt, and prevent the waste of paper by the withdrawal of an unnecessary number of sheets.
The invention consists in certain novelties of construction and in the combination of parts as herein set forth and specified in the claims.
The accompanying drawing illustrates an example of the embodiment of the invention, the same being constructed and the parts combined accordin of procedure I have so ar devised for'the purpose.
Fig. 25 is a front elevation view of the holding and serving device with the layers of paper removed, showing in dotted lines the rods or bars secured to the under surface of the pressure plate.
Fig3 is a cross section in elevation of Figure 2 taken on line 3-3, withthe sheets of paper in place.
Fig. 4 is a vertical section in elevation of Figure 2 taken on the line 4=4, with the sheets of paper in place.
utton to the best mode The"body of the holding and serving device may be made of any'suitable material, wood or metal, but preferably of sheet metal .stamped or pressed to the-required shape,
though it may be made of fashioned parts united by solder or rivets.
Referring to the several figures, the nu.- meral 1 designates the'base or bottom position of the shape shown; 2 the curved side wall disposed at right angles to the base; and 3 the inwardly turned edge of the wall. The edge of the metal is cut away at 4 topermit the thumb and finger to grasp and withdraw the top sheet of paper when. the layers are loosened from spring pressur At the center of the base is a projec'ing portion 5 secured to the base by solderor otherwise, and the shape is approximately as shown. In the vertical wall thereof are four slots 6 and the .top surface has a hole 7 for the push rod, bar or button. The nu mom] 8 designates the pressure plate loosely disposed within the interior of the body portion of the device; 9, coiled springs pressing the plate towards the opening at the top; 10, thepush rod, bar or buttoh projecting above the top surface of the portion 5, as shown 11, rods or bars secured to the lower end of the push rod and extended loosely through the slots 6 to the lower surface of the pressure plate; and 12 are downwardly bent portions of the metal of the pressure plate providing openings through which the ends of the rods or bar 11 pass where they may be secured by solder or otherwise.
The holding device may be supported in any desirable way in any convenient location. It is shown supported upon the flush tank by a hinge 13 and a catch 14-. This arrangement allows the device to be swung out of the way when the space is limited so the cover and seat may be raised. ()ther modes of supporting the device on a flush tank may be selected, depending upon the type of flush tank used andits location rela tive to the seat. 7
The .layers of paper 15 are shown by Figures 3 and& arranged parallel and in contact with the top surface of the pressure plate, the inwardly turned edge 3 holding the paper in place adjacent the top opening when the pressure plate and layers of paper are under spring pressure. Downward pressure upon the push rod. l0 contracts the sgrin and loosens the. mass of paper so t e e go of the outer sheet can be grasped by the thumb and finger and withdrawn without displacing the sheets beneath.
From the fore oing description taken in connection with t e drawing, it is clear that I have provided a device of the character described which is simple in construction, eflicient in operation, chea in first cost, and whichfulfills allthe conditions set forth as the object of the invention.
What I claim is:
1. The combination in a holding and serving device of a hollow container with a vertical wall, for receiving sheets of paper, said loosenin the sheets of paper above the plate so one's eet may be withdrawn.
2. The subject-matter of claim 1 with the addition of a central projecting portion 5- the means for holding the layers of paper parallel with the pressure plate and in the container comprises the turning inwardly of the edge of the vertical wall.
4. The subject matter of claim 1 wherein the means for moving the pressure plate downwardly consists of a push rod, bar, or button connected with the pressure plate.
5. The subject-matter of claim 1 with the addition of a projecting portion -5 whichis provided with guiding slots for the reception of rods forming part of the means for moving the pressure plate downwardly and loosening the sheets of paper.
In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.
JAMES E. JONES.
