UNITEDI STATES SEM aosENTHAL-L, oF MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA.

CABINET.

Application filed December 1, 1922. Serial No. 604,332.

T all whomI t may concer/n.:

Be it known that I, SEM ROSENTHALL, citizen of Canada, residing at Mont-real, in the district of Montreal and Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented new and useful Improvements in Cabinets, of which the following is a specific-ation.

This invention relates to cabinets.

More particularly, the invention relates to the types of cabinets such as are used by persons to subject their naked bodies to heat, hot-air or steam.

Some of the objects of the present invent-ion are: to produce a collapsible cabinetI of the character mentioned; to produce a cabinet of the character mentioned which is comparativelyv inexpensive and simple of construction for use in the home and capable of being readily set up for use and capable of being readily collapsed after use; and with these and other objects in view the invention resides in the particular provision, rela-tive disposition and the functions of the parts hereinafter fully described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the cabinet in set up condition.

Figure 2 is a perspective view of the cabinet in collapsed condition.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view through the cabinet in set up condition.

Referring now more particularly to the several views of the drawing, it will be apparent that, the cabinet of the present invention, generally, comprises a top 10, a base 11, and an intermediate wall forming section 12.

The top co-mprises a frame 13 and closure members 14. The frame 13 is of U shape and comprises

members

15, 15, and a member 16. There are two closure members 14, and each of the

members

15, 15 has one of the closure members 14 pivoted thereto as at 17. The two closure members 14 are sufficiently wide and long as to occupy the space defined within the members of the frame 13. The closure members 14 in closed positions rest on shoulders 18. Each of the closure members 14 is cut out as at 19 so that when the closure members are in closed positions in the frame 13 an opening will be formed to accommodate the neck of aI person.

The base 11 comprises a main supporting part 2O and strips 21 which are arranged on the part 2O to form aframeI substantially similariinoutlinetothe-outline of the frame 13`with the addition of one member; the frame formed by the strips 21 being a coinplete rectangle.v rhe main supportingpart has arranged thereon and attached thereto a suitable seat 22.

The wall forming section 12 consists of foldable material 23 such as rubberized fabric. Rubberized fabric is used in the present instance but any other suitable foldable material may be used. Along one edge the material 23 is attached to the members of the frame. 13, and along its opposite edge the material is attached to the frame formed by the strips 21. The material 23 is cut out as at 24 to provide an entrance opening. The said entrance opening is closed by a closure member 25. The closure member 25 comprises a member 26 to which is attached a flap 27 of the same material as the material 23, and the said flap is sufficiently large to cover the opening mentioned. The member 26 is hingedly connected to one end of one of the

members

15, 15, and the said member 26 has a` strip 28 thereon which provides a shoulder fo-r the support of the closure members 14 in addition to the support afforded thereto by the shoulders 18. A means such as a hook 29 and eye 30 is employed to hold the closure member 25 in a closed position.

In order that the top 1() may be held elevated directly above thebase 11, and in order that the material 23 may be held taut in wall forming condition, there are provided apertured lugs or screw-eyes 31 preferably on the

members

15, 15 on the outsides thereof, post sockets 32 are arranged on the part 20 of the base 11 adjacent each corner thereof, and a plurality of posts 33 each of which has a shoulder at its reduced end 34. One post 33 is used in conjunction with an apertured lug 31 and a socket 32. One end of the post is disposed in the socket andthe opposite reduced end is disposed in the aber'- ture of the lug 31: portions of the lug resting on the shoulder of the post. In the present instance four posts 33 are used and two of the posts are shorter than the other two posts. By using' short and long posts the top may be inclined relatively to the base 11.

It will be manifest from the foregoingY that by the use of the posts 33, lugs 31 and sockets 32 the top 10 may be held elevated direct-ly above the base 11 withy the material top l() may be brought down. against the base because ofltlieiieyxible and ifoldable nature of the material 23 as the collapsed condition of the cabinet.

lVhat is claimed is:

A cabinet of the character described coniprising abase, a socketed member rising from '-the.` base` from adjacent .eachl coiner thereof, a substantial U-shaped frame, foldable material depending' from the frame, a

-fraine associated-with the base and receiving the-lower end of the foldable material, closhaped fran'ieand being 4provided with substantially-- -se-ini fycircular "openings cooperatiyely associated with each other to form a.

central opening `when the closure members 'are in operative position, rest-ing means secured to the U-shaped frame for the closure members, a closure member for the U-shaped frame and being hingedly secured to one of the arms thereof, a flap depending from the U-shaped closure member andA means received in the sockets of vthe base for supporting the U-shaped vframe at a downward inclination.

In testimony whereof I afl-ix my signature.

SEM lROSENTHALL.
