:BATH CABINET.
Application filed July 6,
To all. whom it may concern."
Be it known that I, Tnnononn A. LONG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Mill Hall7 in the county of'Glinton and State` of l-"ennsylvania, have invented new and useful improvements in Bath Cabinets, of which theJ following is a specification.
My present invention has reference to a vapor bath cabinet and is primarily directed to the supporting frame for such a cabinet;
My object is to provide a supporting frame for a vapor bath cabinet that is constructed of hingedly associated members wheieby the frame may be folded into a compact package when not required for use, and also wherein the cabinet may be wrapped around and securedk to the folded frame so that the device as a whole may be conveniently carried or stored. A still further object is the provision of a frame for vapor or similar bath cabinets which, when in set up position, will produce a strong and thoroughly effective but light Vso structure, which includes a door that forms part of the frame and which may be easily set up or knocked down when not required for use.
With the above recited obj ects in view and l others which will appear as the nature of the invention is better understood, reference is to be had to the drawings which accompany and form part of this application.
In the drawings Figure 1 is a perspective view of a frame for bath cabinets in accordance with this invention.
Figure 2 is a similar view but showing the frame partly collapsed or closed.
Figure 3 is a substantially central longitudinal sectional view through the framewith the covering arranged thereover.
Figure 4 is a perspective view with the frame fully collapsed and the covering wound around the frame.
Figure 5 is a plan view of the frame in its collapsed condition to more clearly illustrate the space at the center of the frame in which the heater is received prior to the wrapping of the cover around the frame.
Thev frame, when set up, provides avsubstantially rectangular structure. The frame includes corner posts 1, 2 and 3. The posts are arranged in opposed pairs and have their lower ends provided with bumpers so that no injury will bey indicted to the floor on which the cabinet is arranged. Also the 11p- 1925. `Serial No. 41,807.
per ends, and if desired, thev sides of the posts are provided with studs 4 to be received in catch elements carried by the rubber, oil-cloth, or similar practically nonpervious cover 5. The posts 1 and 2 have hingedly connected thereto upper and lower transverse and longitudinally extending brace bars 6 and 7, respectively; Fiacli of these brace bars is formed of two rails of suitable material, wood preferred, the said rails being hingedly connected on their outer faces, as indicated bythe numerals 3 and 9, respectively. The upper rails, on their outer faces, are provided with studs 10, similar to the studs 4. The sectional rails 6 and 7 are held in longitudinal alignment when the device is in set up condition, through the inediuin of latch plates 11. Each latch 11 is pivotally secured to one of the rail sections and has its free end notched to receive therein a stud 12 on the opposite rail section.
The posts 3 are also connected by transversely arranged upper and lower sectional rails 13 and 14, respectively. The rails 13 and 14, as well as the rails previously referred to are each of an equal length and the rail sections 13 and 14 have on their outer faces hinges 15 which hingedly associate the sections. On their confronting faces the rail sections 13 and 14 are held in longitudinal alignment by means 16 similar to that previously described. One of the posts 3 is hingedly secured to the outer face of one of the posts 2 by means 17. The outer leaf of each of the hinges 17 is preferably of angular formation to engage both the side and outer face of the post 3. rlhe second post 3 is latched to the second post 2 by suitable catch means. The upper rail sections 13 are provided with studs similar to the studs 4 and for the same purpose, while the lower rails may have on their outer faces studs 18 which also enga-ge suitable catch elements on the fabric cover 5.
The posts 3 and the rails 13 and 14 associated therewith provide the gate or door for the frame structure. The combined length of the sectional rails is less than that of the posts, so that when the latching means between the rail sections are disconnected and the upper and lower rails are swung-inwardly withy respect toV the posts and against each other, as disclosed in Figure 4, a space will be left between the confronting ends of the said rails. This space receives therein the heater for the cabinet. Whenin collapsed condition the fabric cover 5 is wound around the frame, as disclosed in Figure 5 of the drawings and as the heater is enclosed by the cover, all the parts except the cha-ir necessary in a vapor bath construction, are associated in a compact body.
By constructing ,a collapsible cabinet as above described, the size of the same is so reduced that when folded, as disclosed in Figure 5, it may be shipped by parcel p ost. Also the construction renders it convenient for a physician to carry the device to and from a patient. While I stated that the cabinet can be made of wood or iron it may be found preferable to construct the same of steel.
The simplicity of the improvement and the advantages thereof will be manifest to those skilled in the art to which the invention relates and it is to be understood that I do not wish to be restricted to size, proportions, material employed or such like details and am entitled to such changes or modifications as fairly fall within the scope of what I claim.
Having described the invention, I claim: A frame forv a vapor bath construction comprising corner posts, outer posts arranged adjacent two of the corner posts, one
of which being hingedly secured to one of said corner posts, sectional rails connecting the outer posts, said rails being hingedly connected together, latching means for holding the rails in parallelism, hingedly connected sectional rails secured to the remaining posts at-the top and bottom portions thereof, means for holding the last mentioned rails in longitudinal alignment, the first mentioned rails together with the posts therefor providinfr a door for the frame thereof, said rails adapted to be swung inwardly toward and against each other when the frame is collapsed.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.
THEODORE A. LONG.
