GEORGE PIERCE, OF MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA.
A."TIvIBLE TGILET CABINET.
The invention relates to an automobile toilet cabinet, as described in the present specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings that form part of the same.
The invention consists essentially of the novel features whereby a basin is hinged at the back of a seat and shelves provided for accessories as well as means for emptying the water and providing a fresh supply.
The objects of the invention are to enable motorists to wash their hands following changing of tires or repairing the mecha` nism of the car; to allord this convenience at a reasonably inexpensive cost to the user; to insure rigidity and thus avoid rattle; and
generally to provide in motor cars toilet conveniences of great value to both drivers and passengers.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of the cabinet showing the rear of the front seat.
Figure 2 is a perspective view, showing the cabinet open and the basin ready for use.
Figure 3 is an end view of the cabinet, showing the front seat back in vertical section.
Figure 4 is a vertical mid-sectional view of the cabinet.
Figure 5 is a cross sectional view of the cabinet.
Figure 6 is a perspective view of the device enclosed in the seat back.
Figure 7 is a cross sectional view of the seat showing the form of the invention illustrated in Figure 6.
Like numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the various figures.
Referring to the drawings, the cabinet shown is preferably formed of metal, though it may be made of any suitable material.
The back 10 extends 011 either side beyond the vertical side walls 11 and 12 which support at their upper ends the box receptacles 13 and 14 also extending the full width of the back these receptacles being intended to contain towels, soap, brushes and various toilet articles.
The cover 15 is hinged to the back 1() and is formed to carry mirror 16 and if desired toilet articles strapped thereto.
This cover 15 closes in the complete top of the cabinet including the receptacles 13 and 14 and the space 17 therebetween.
rlhe central portion of the cabinet is closed in by the back 10 the side walls 11 and 12, the bottom 18 intermediate of the height of said walls, and front plate 19 to form the tank 20, or if found more convenient a tank may be installed in said chamber.
The faucet 21 taps the tank 20 through the bottom 18 adjacent to the front plate 19 and extends into the waste chamber 22, which is formed by the back 10, the side walls 11 and 12 the bottom 23 and the front wall 24, the latter being slotted to form the basin curve 25.-
, 'ilhe outlet 26 leads from the centre of the bottom 23 and is connected by a union 27' to the waste pipe 28 extending through the floor of the car and secured thereto by the flange 29, which is held to the pipe to avoid rattle by the set screw 29a.
The cover 15 is similarly held by the jointed and pivoted straps 36 and 37, so that the mirror can be readily arranged at the right angle for use.
The tank mouth 38 extends upwardly into the space 17 and is securely closed by the stopper 39 over which theA cover 15 closes and is fastened by the lock 40 to be opened by a key or latch lever as the case may be.
The shelves 41 and 42 covered on their outer sides extend from the walls 11 and 12 to the back 10 and have rigid cups 43 and 44 mounted thereon respectively and adapted to contain the thermos bottles 45 and 46 secured and held by the straps 47 and 48 to their places under the anti-rattling springs 49 and 50. The basin plate is secured by the fastener 51 to its closed position.
In the operation of this device the basin plate is turned down to its open position and the water turned on through the faucet until there is suficient water for washing purposes.
The cover 15 is naturally opened to obtain soap and towel and to bring within reach brushes and other accessories in addition to disclosing the mirror.
At the finish of the ablutions the basin plate is lifted and fastened to its upper position, meanwhile upsetting the water into the waste chamber, where it finds its way to the waste pipe and to the road.
The cabinet may be fastened to the seat of the car by the brackets 52 fitting into the `bracket 53 at the upper end of the cabinet the waste pipe forming suflicient support below.
ln Figures 6 and 7 the tank 54C is enclosed within the seat back 55, and the cabinet shelves 5G and 57 and mirror 58 are permanently arranged above said tank, while. the basin v59 has an extension 60 in its open position under the faucet Gl controlling the warf er supply from said tank.
, The basin is secured to the door 62 in the seat bac-k 5G which is hinged at the bottom edge and in its .open position supported by the folding straps 65.
The waste chamber G6 is connected to the waste pipe 67 and is immediatelybelow the door opening and receives the goose neck extension 60 and the water in the basin 59 isY upset into this waste box, the back of which extends upwardly.
This construction in the seat is of course more for the manufacturer of cars as in all likelihood this form of the invention will be adopted by makers so that there is really nothing appearing and the upholstered back of the seats looks much the same as it is always. c
To lill the tank 54 the door 62 is opened and the water poured in through the mouth 68 at the top of the neck 69 behind the mirror 58 which is preferably'hinged.
lt will be noted that the water supply in the tank may be used as a reserve for the radiator of the car when required.
What l claim is l. ln an automobile cabinet, a casing comprising a plurality of rigid horizontal and parallel shelves joined to one another by a vertical back and vertical and parallel side walls, a tank chamber resting on one of said horizontal and parallel shelves and having an inlet projecting` through the upper horizontal and parallel shelf, a frame work around the aforesaid upper shelf and a cover therefore, a basin member hinged to said vertical and parallel side walls, and a waste box formed in the lower horizontal and par allel shelf.
2. In an automobile cabinet, a casing comprising a plurality of horizontal and parallel shelves in straight alignment to one another and joined and held by a vertical back, and parallel and vertical side walls intermediate of two of said horizontal and parallel shelves and forming a support for a third horizontal and parallel shelf, a tank charnber supported on said intermediate horizontal shelf and having an inlet projecting through the upper horizontal shelf, a frame work around the aforesaid upper shelf and a cover therefore, a basin member hinged to said vertical side Walls, and a waste box formed in the lower horizontal and parallel shelf.
3. ln an automobile cabinet, a casing comprising three horizontal and parallel shelvesin rigid alignment with one another and secured to a vertical back wall, the lower horizontal shelf forming a support for a pair of vertical and parallel side Walls, and the third shelf supported by the aforesaid vertical walls and intermediate of said other shelves, a tank chamber supported on said intermediate shelf and having an inlet projecting through said upper shelf, a basin member hinged to said vertical Walls, and a waste box formed in the lower horizontal and parallel shelf.
Signed at Montreal, Canada, this 21st day of January 1925.
