spray or shower, but not showing the minutedetails of structure of said valves and shower; Fig. 2, a fragmentary transverse section of the pool and seat elements, including broken-oil parts of the side-walls of the bath-chamber; Fig. 3', a perspective view of the pool-member, the seat, the side-plates andthe shallow water-guard, all being made integral and constituting the main elements of the invention herein, but omitting the water-control valve and shower elementsf Fig. 4, a front-to-rear cross-section of the bathing-pool, seat, valve, shower and backwall elements, showing the proper angle of shower-delivery and the fore supporting- 1e Fi 5, a fra entar front-to-rear sectid r ibfthe left-b51 51 fore rid of the bathingpool member showing its adjustable supportmg means for suitably leveling the device in setting it up for use, and more especially for wash-stand purposes; and Fig. 6, a detached perspective of the adjusting block and its screw-shank seen in Fig. 5.
9 indicates the main-plate forming the seat for the bather and arranged to the immediate rear of the water chamber or pool 10 thatis shorter at its opposite ends than the said seat to makedue provision for the horizontal side-plates 11 and 12 that are both on a level that is slightly below that of the seat.
The side-plate 11 has a series of three orifices or openings d, e and f made therein for the special purposes hereinafter referred to.
13 indicates a downwardly-turned water guard or rounded apron provided along the front'of the water chamber or pool 10, and arranged at a level a little higher than that of the side-plates 11 and 12, but at a somewhat lower level than that of the seat 9, as best shown in Fig. 4.
A Water skirting or guard, composed of the upright side-members 14, 14 and a rearmember 15, extends from the said front guard or apron 13 to the rear of the mainplate or seat 9, at a suitable elevation above the side-plates lland 12 and, also, that of the seat 9, and it has a horizontal top surface let on which the hard cement wall 16 is built, such cement wall being laid on the face of the ordinary plastered wall 17 of the vertical walls A, B and C of thccontracted compartment in which it is preferably, but not essentially, designed to inc-lose my improved bathing-fixture for its use.
The rear Wall 18 of the bathing-pool 10 has an overflow orifice or opening 20 and the bottom of the pool is provided with a discharge orifice or opening 21 adapted to the use of the ordinary plug (not shown). 19 is the front wall of the pool or basin 10. A door, or drapery, (not shown) is adapted to be placed in the opening between the outer edges of the vertical side-walls A and (l of thesaid contracted compartment in which my device is installed for use.
The bottom of the seat-skirting 15 of the main-plate 9 is downwardly-turncd into hook-form, as shown at 22, to engage an upturned flange 23 provided along the upper edge of a horizontal bar 24 that is secured by means of screws or the like 25 upon the rear wall B of the said contracted compartmerit, as best shown in Fig. 4, for firmly supporting the inner end of my fixture in place in the said compartment.
26 indicates each one of a. pair of vertical legs used at the fore or outer end of my fixture to support it just back of the apron or front-guard 13, as best seen in Fig. 5.
A spray or shower device is adds to the bathing-pool and seat members of my fixture herein and is composed of an admstablymounted rose 32 at the inner end of a short horizontal nozzle pipe or tubing 33, the latter being an angular extension of an upright water pipe 34: and a lower horizontal waterinlet pipe 35. The water-supply control, which is not specifically claimed herein, may be properly termed a triple faucet device,,or
one having a cold-water inlet-valve D, a hotwater inlet-valve E and a duplex pool and shower control and reverse valve F, the shell of the latter having a spout that discharges into the basin 10.
When it is desired to use the shower or spray device, both of the valves D and E are opened to suit the temperature required. The tempered water is then free to pass through the horizontal pipe 35, the vertical pipe 34, the short horizontal nozzle-pipe 33 and the rose-sprayer 32, thence at the desired angle, or approximately that of the diverging dotted-lines seen in Fig. 4, which directs the shooting drops of water on the back and head of the seated person .on the main-plate or ba-thers seat 9. While, or after bathing, to let the water run cooler than in its prior mixed or tempered condition, or to let it run entirely cold, as desired, all that is necessary is to regulate the hot-water valve sufficient to decrease its delivery or flow for the cooler stage, or close it altogether for the said entirely cold stage.
of a large horizontal plate or bathing-seat proper, a sunken basin or pool arranged below the upper level and in front of the said seat-proper, a pair of sunken horizontal.
side-plates for the basin also arranged below the level of the seat-proper, a side and rear upright water-guard extending above-the level of the seat-proper and havin a horizontal top edging or surface on w ich the wall-facing o cement or the like is built, means for supporting the fixture, and an apron or downwardly-turned front-plate for the said basin extending above the level of the said side-plates but below that of the said seat-pro er and having a rounded upper edge, su stantially as shown and described. v
2. In a bathing-fixture, the combination of a seat-proper, a basin arranged forward of and below the level of that of the said seat-proper, horizontal sidelates arranged forward of and below the evel of that of said seat-proper, an elevated water-guard provided along the side and rear edges of the said seat-proper, a down-turned apron provided along the front of the said basin below the level' of that of said seat-proper, and water supply and controlling means for the fixture, substantially as shown and described.
