- M. KVITLE PORTABLE SHOWER APPARATUS Filed Oct. 9, 1925 MartinKvitle Patented Mar. 16, 1926.
"UNITED STATES MARTIN KVITLE, OF CAMBRIDGE, WISCONSIN.
PORTABLE SHOWER APPARATUS.
Application filed October 9, 1925. Serial No. 61,513..
To all whom it may concem:
Be it known that I, MAR'HN Kvrrnn, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Cambridge, in the county of Dane and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Portable Shower Apparatus; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.
This invention relates to portable shower apparatus.
In certain types of dwellings, it is difficult to install permanent shower bath fixtures without incurring inordinate expense.
This invention. is designed to provide a very simple and serviceable type of apparatus which is portable, and which may be most easily employed to provide a shower bath.
which maybe readily handled and operated even by an unskilled person} An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanyingdrawings in which Figure 1 is a plan view ofthe apparatus.
Figure 2 shows the device hung in position and is partly broken away to show the interior construction.
Figure 3 is a detail of the locking clip for the control cable.
Referring to the drawings, it will be seen that the device comprises an enlarged bucket 1 which is equipped with a bail 2 of the usual construction.
In using the device, the bail is hooked over any suitable support, as indicated at 3, in an elevated position; The bottom 4 of the bucket is provided with a depressed portion'having a plurality of apertures 5 therein. A valve or pad-like member 6 is employed to fit this depressed portion and close the apertures under normal conditions. This valve is carried by the-outer ends of the U-shaped arms 7 of a spring, such arms being upturned, as indicated at 8, toprovide an eyelet for the reception of the controlling cord or cable 9. The inner ends of the spring, as indicated at 10, are attached to the inner side of the bucket and preferably Further objects are to provide a device a plurality of coils 11 are formed at the point of union of the arm 7 with the arms 10 to provide the necessary resiliency.
The controlling cord 9 passes upwardly over the edge of the bucket and downwardly, as shown in Figure -2. The downwardly extending portion is threaded through a bracket or clip 12 secured to the outer side of the bucket. This clip is spaced at one end a material distance from the bucket, as shown in Figure 3, and gradually approaches the bucket adjacent its other end. This provides a triangular space 13, as shown in Figure 3, through which the controlling cord 9 passes.
In using the apparatus, the bucket is filled with water of the desired temperature and is hung upon its support. When the operator is ready, it is-merely necessary for him to pull downwardly upon the controlling cord, thus raising the valve or pad 6. 7
'cord may be readily detached by swinging it in the opposite direction when it is desired to close the valve.
Thus, it will be-seen that a very simple type of portable shower apparatus has been provided which may be easily operated, which may be readily stopped and started at the will of the operator and in a very simple manner.
Although the invention has been described in considerable detail, it is to be understood that the invention may be variously embodied and is, therefore, to be limited only as claimed.
I claim: 7
A portable shower apparatus comprising a container of bucket-like formation having a bottom provided with a plurality of apertures, a spring formed'of a pair of dupli- 95 cate wires of resilient material each having right angle arms and a coiled portion intermediate such arms, one pair of arms being i so nmzoae tegrally joined portion of said last mentioned arms and extending upwardly and over the side of the container.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Watertown, in the county of Jefferson and State of Wisconsin MARTIN KVITLE.
