Application filed September 29, 1923. Serial No, 665,562.
the accompanying drawings, forming a part c of the same.
This invention relates to certain improvements in a unitary tub and dressing table structure for bathing infants and drying or dressing them after their bath.
It is the especial object of the present invention to provide an improved structure including adressing standor table for the infant united with a tub structure so that it may be arranged or positioned for use at one side of the tub structure whereby an infant, after its bath, may be lifted I from the tub and dried or dressed on the dressing stand, the stand structure being unit-ed tov the tub structure by a hinge so that it can be folded against the tub structure, both the tub structure and the stand being supported on collapsible legs so that the structureas a whole may be readily and quickly foldedup into such small space that the structure can be readily accommodated in some corner of the bathroom or a small closet.
It is a further object of the invention to produce a unitary structure of this character of few parts so that it can be economically"made'-and which shall be rigid and firm in use anddurable.
With these and other objects not specifically: referred to the'invention consists in certain novel parts, arrangements and combinations whichvwill be described in connection .with the accompanying drawings and the novel features thereof pointed out in the claims hereunto annexed.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective -view of the unitary tub and stand structure,the parts being shown in open position; 1 a Figure 2 's a top plan View, partly broken away, of the structure shown in Fig. 1;
Figure 3 is a detail, partly broken away, cross sectional view, the section being taken on the regular line 33 of Fig. 2;
:support and; secured to Figures 4 and 5 are detail plan; views I looking respectively in the direction of a1,- rows 4 and 5 of Fig. 3; y
Figures 6 and 7 are-detail side elevations of thepart shown in'Figs. and 5; and,
Figure 8 is a diagraimnatic view showing the structure in folded or-collapsed popivots 7 To afford suitable rigidity for the I structure in itsopen position, collapsible braces 8 are provided; The tub "itself or'may be formed of suitable rubber or rubberized fabric 9 secured in any suitable manner to the rails 1, 2, as by tacks 10.-
The dressing stand may bejof various fabrics but will be such that it may be connected to the tub structure A- so as tov form with that structure a unit and so that it may be collapsible. In the particular construction illustratedthe-dressing stand includes a pair oftop rails 11, 12, these rails being supported on their outer ends on a pair;of legs 13,14, these legs crossing each other and at their crossing point beingpivotally associated on a pivot '15. To afford rigidity, if necessary, these legs may ,be" braced by a suitable collapsible cro ss brace' 16. The inner end of the -rails11, -12,"1nay be supported in any suitable manner for economy in construction, and, as shown, they are preferably supported onthe legs 5, 6,,which support the-inner end of' the top rails 1, 2, before referred to; The supporting surfaceof the dressing stand may beof any suitable character. To make the part readily collapsible, however, this suptween the rails 11, 12, soas to afford-affirm the rails I as by; tacks 18. 3 i K Q 7 ,The tub structure A a and the dressing stand B are united, as before stated, to form a unit and so that they can be collapsed together into a small space, one of thestructures having a relative movement with respect to the other. In the preferred construction the parts A and B are secured so that they can be folded against each other and, to effect this, as shown, hinged together by a hinge 19, this hinge connecting two of the rails on one side, as for instance, the rails 2 and 11. Y'Vith this construction the stand may be swung around against the tub and the parts collapsed into the position diagrammatically shown in'Fig. 8, the two structures thus occupying a very small space, it being understood, of course, that when this is done the braces 8 and 16 are also collapsed.
In the best constructions means are provided for locking the two structures together in their open position so as to pro duce a rigid structure and one which will not accidentally collapse. While this may be effected in various ways, in the particular construction illustrated, this locking means actsto lock together the pair of rails on the side opposite the hinge, as for instance, the rails 1 and 12. This locking mechanism, as shown, includes a plate 20 secured to the inner end of one of the rails, as for instance, the rail 1. This plate has a portion 21 projecting beyond the end of the rail 1, this projecting portion being provided with an open slot 22 capacitated to receive the pin 23 projecting from the inner end of the rail 12, this pin being freed from the slot by simply lifting the rail at that end.
In the best constructions a removable brace is provided for giving additional rigidity to the structure. As shown, this additional brace is in the form of a board 2 1. This board extends across centrally of the united structure and is provided at each end with a pair of holding strips 25, 26. The holding strips 26 take under cleats 27 secured on the rails 2, 11, and the strips 25, at the other end of the board, slip under staples 28 on rails 1, 12. The board is thus readily removable when it is desired to collapse the structure.
In the preferred construction of the dressing stand, the canvas fabric 17 is protected by a removable covering, so as to keep this fabric support as dry as possible. Accordingly there is provided a slip cover 37 of canvas, rubber or other desired material,
this cover being removably secured over the canvas support 17 in any suitable manner as by snap fasteners 38.
It will be seen from the construction shown and described that a. very simple and compact tub and dressing stand structure is provided, one in which the parts may be collapsed into small compass, and when in open position permits the infant to be lifted right from the tub onto the stand without the necessity of adjusting a part to form a stand.
Furthermore, a strong and rigid structure is provided, economical to make and durable and etlicient in use. I
Vi hile the invention has been shown in its preferred form it will be understood that certain changes and variations may be made. in the specific structures shown and described without departing from the inven" tion as defined in the claims hereunto an nexed.
What I claim is:
1.. The combination of a collapsible tub structure and collapsible legs therefor, of a collapsible stand structure and collapsible legstherefor, and a hinge uniting the structures so that the structures may be positioned side by side for use and folded against each other and collapsed when not in use.
2. The combination of a collapsible tub structure including side rails and collapsile supporting legs therefor, a collapsible stand structure including side rails and collapsible supporting legs therefor, means for uniting the structures together so that they can be collapsed, and a removable brace for rigidly holding the structures in open position.
The combination of a collapsible tub structure and collapsible legs therefor, acollapsible stand structure and collapsible legs therefor, a hinge uniting the structures, a
locking plate carried by one of the structures opposite the hinge, and a co-operating member carried by the other structure and engaging the locking plate.
4. The combination of a collapsible tub structure and collapsible legs therefor, a col lapsible stand structure and collapsible legs therefor, a hinge collapsibly uniting the structures, a locking plate carried by one of the structures opposite the hinge, a cooperating member carried by the other structure and engaging the locking plate, and a removable brace member extending midway of the structures and rigidly securinqnthem together in open position.
a. The combination of a collapsible tub structure including side rails and collapsible supporting legs therefor, a collapsible stand including side rails and collapsible supporting legs, means for collapsibly uniting the structure, a fabric support stretched between the rails of the stand, and a slip cover, and means for removably securing it over the fabric support.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand.
ROBERT L. SMITH.
