UNITED STATES PA ENroF IcE. I
' EUGENE A. ZUNDEL, or SHEBOYGAN, msconsrn, nssronon T0 GROCKER CHAIR COM- PANY, or SI-IEZBOXGAN, Wisconsin, A CORPORATION or WISCONSIN.
WATER-CLOSET CHAIR.
Application filed April 9, 1924.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EUGENE A. ZUNDEL, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Sheboygan, in the county of Sheboygan and State of WVisconsin, have invented new and useful Improvements in WVater-Closet Chairs, of which the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which are a part of this specification.
This invention has for its object to provide a chair structure embodying a water closet seat and a chair seat, whereby it may serve the purpose of an ordinary chair and obviate the necessity for a separate chair in instances where space is at a premium.
Another object of the invention is to 1mprove appearances by covering the water closet seat with an ornamental chair structure.
Another object of the invention is to so incorporate the trimming of the chair structure with the closet seat as to leave the front of the chair entirely free of crossmembers when the seats are in their raised position.
WVith the above and other objects in view the invention consists in the water closet chair as herein claimed and all equivalents.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which like characters of reference indicate the same parts in different views,
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a water closet chair constructed in accordance with this invention, both seats being in their lowered positions;
Fig. 2 is a similar View with the chair seat raised;
Fig. 3 is a similar view with both seats raised, and
Fig. 4 is a detail view showing one method of tying the front ends of the side members of the chair frame together by means of the lowered closet seat.
In these drawings, 10 indicates a water closet bowl and 11 a chair frame surrounding it, the closet seat 12 being hinged to the chair frame so as to be capable of moving from a vertical position to a horizontal position where it rests on the side members 13 of the chair frame. A chair seat 14., which may be of any ordinary comfortable construction, is also hinged on the chair frame to be capable of swinging from a Serial No. 705,353.
vertical position where it rests against the chair back to a horizontal position, where it rests on the closet seat to completely cover it and serve as a chair bottom offering the same comfort and convenience as a separate chair.
The front cross-member 15, instead of being rigidly connected to the side frame members 13, is mounted on the closet seat 12 so as to be raised therewith and leave the chair frame entirely free and'open in the front when both seats are in their raised position. The closet seat or cross-piece 15, however, may desirably constitute a tie connecting the front ends of the side members 13 of the chair frame so as to give rigidity to the structure when one or both of the seats'are lowered. As shown in Fig. 4, this is preferably accomplished by means of wooden or metal dowels 16 projecting from the bottom of the closet seat and entering dowel holes in the ends of the side members of the chair frame. Although these side members of the chair frame are heavily braced, as shown, an interlocking means of this character whereby the closet seat, or the cross-member 15 carried thereby, be comes a tie for preventing the spreading or displacement of the leg members, gives strength and rigidity to the structure largely compensating for the removability of the front cross-piece which is provided for sanitary reasons.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A water closet chair comprising a chair frame with open front adapted to extend around the sides and back of a water closet bowl and provided with a chair back and with side members having no cross connection at the front, a closet seat hinged to the frame and adapted to rest on the side members, interlocking connections between the 2. A water closet chair comprising a chair frame adapted to surround the sides and rear of a water closet bowl and provided with a chalr back and with side members having no cross connection at the front, a
