UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
MARY C. DU BOSE, OF GANESVILLE, FLORIDA. Y
Applicaton'Ied November 2, 1922.
17 'o all whom t may concern: f
Be it known that I, MARY C. DU Bosn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Gainesville, in the county of Alachua and State of Florida, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Receptacles, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements'in receptacles, especially adapted for use in hospitals or sick rooms for purposes readily apparent, and the primary object thereof resides in the provision of such an article that may be repeatedly used Without occasioning discomflture to the patient or other disagreeable results.
With these general objects in View and others that will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, the same consists in the novel construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accom panying drawing, and pointed out in the appended claims.
In the drawing forming part of this application, and in which like designating characters refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of the article constructed in accordance with the pres ent invention, portions of the same being fragmentarily shown.
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the device shown in Figure 1, and
Figure 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view through the article.
With particular reference to the drawing, there is shown a receptacle of general scoop formation, and embodying a bottom wall 1, a vertically disposed end wall 2, and inn tegral side walls 3. The front edge of the bottom and side walls 1 and 3 are rounded as shown in Figure 1, and the side walls 3 are so formed as to have their edges sloped upwardly from the forward edge of the bottom 1 to the upperedge of the rear wall 2. This specific formation of the bottom and side walls presents a receptacle that is of such a shape as to receive that portion of the body of the patient that is supported therein in a snug and comfortable manner without occasioning the unnecessary pain that usually results from the usage of similar articles now generally` employed.
The top wall 4 of the receptacle has vits front edge rounded in a manner similar to the edge of the bottom 1, and the front edge Serial No. 598,634.
of this top wall is spaced inwardly of the adjacent edge of the bottom 1, as clearly shown in Figure 3.
If desired, the top wall 4 may be integral with the receptacle or the same may be secured to the adjacent edges of the receptacle by soldering or welding. This wall 4 is transversely 4curved upon an arc as shown in the last mentioned figure, whereby the same extends downwardly between the side walls 8, and is so formed or retained therebetween as to slope upwardly towards the rear wall 2 ofthe receptacle, in a manner similar to the side walls 3.
Adjacent the front end of the top wall 4, the same has formed therein a relative large circular opening 5, which opening is substantially central within the receptacle. Formed upon the rear wall 2, there is an upwardly extending inlet tube or pipe 6 which has its outer end flared as shown. This tube 6 is for purposes well known, and the same also functions as an outlet when the receptacle is to be discharged of its contents. Within the front half of the receptacle, there is provided a suitable padding 7 retained therein by a covering of soft pliable fabric 8. This covering is retained upon the receptacle by an inner and outer row of stitching 9, the same being passed through rows of perforations 10 in the bottom and side walls of the receptacle and also in the front wall of the opening 5 of the top 4. In view of this padding, it will be readily seen that the body of the patient does not come into direct contact with the metallic receptacle, which effectively overcomes a large number of objections present in articles of this character now employed.
In View of the above description, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art that I have provided a receptacle that is substantially an improvement over the receptacles now generally used, and while I have herein shown and described the preferred embodiment of the present invention, it is nevertheless to be understood that minor changes may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.
What I claim as new is 1. A receptacleof the class described in the general form of a scoop and embodying a transversely curved member forming the bottom and side walls of the receptacle, the front edge of said member being rounded Kid and having its side edges sloping upwardly and rearwardly, a vertical rear wall at the rear edges of said curved member having a rearwardly extending inlet tube, and a rearwardly and upwardly sloping top wall of concave form and having its front edge rounded and spaced inwardly of the front edge or said curved member, said top wall having a central circular opening.
2. A receptacle of the class described in the general form of a scoop and embodying a transversely curved member forming the bottom and side walls or' the receptacle, the front edge of said member being rounded and having its side edg'es sloping upwardly and rearwardly, a vertical rear wall at the rear edges of said curved member having a rearwardly extending inlet tube, a rearwardly and upwardly sloping top wall of concave form and having its front edge rounded and spaced inwardly of the front edge oi said curved member, said top wallV having a central circular opening, a padding covering thefront half of said top wall and the forward projecting portion or the curved member and formed with the central portion of its rear edge curved to conform with the curvature of the adjacent forward portion of the top opening, the top wall and the curved member having rows of perforations at the edges of the padding, a retaining cover for the padding, and stitching passing through said perforations and the edges or the cover for securing the latter on the receptacle.
In testimony whereof I afX my signature.
MARY o. DU Bosa.
