PAPER HOLDER FOR TOILET-SEAT COVERS.
Application filed August 5, 1926. Serial No. 127,325.
provision of an arrangement whereby the.
sheets may be withdrawn one at a time being at the same time held against accidental falling out of the sheets, the arrangement permitting easy access to the container for refilling but preventing unauthorized access.
It is also my object to provide such a con-- tainer as will besiniple in construction and neat and inconspicuous in appearance.
Having inview these objects and others which will be pointed out in the following description I will now refer to the, drawings, in which Y Figure 1 is a view of the toiletseat cover and paper receptacle in operative position.
Figure 2 is a view of the toilet seat cover with the paper receptacle in its open position to give access to the interior of the receptacle.
Figure 3 illustrates a sheet of the sanitary paper which is used with the cover and receptacle shown in Figures 1 and 2.
The sheet of sanitary paper is indicated at 10. It has substantially the size and form of a toilet seat the front edge being straight. It is provided at its rear edge with an aperture at 11, the purpose of which is to be explained subsequently. At the center of the sheet is an aperture having the form and size of the opening in the toilet seat.
The toilet seat cover 12 is somewhat larger than the ordinary toilet seat cover in order to provide room for paper of the necessary width. It has a cleat 13 secured thereto at its free end, the cleat being in segmental form. The paper holder 14 is secured to the cleat 13 by means of hinges 15. The paper holder is hollowed out for the reception of a plurality of sheets of paper similar to that shown in Figure 3, The cavity in the holder 14 is curved at one end to conform to the curve of the paper at the edge adjacent the hinges and is left open at the opposite edge of the holder to permit the Withdrawal of the sheets of paper. At the sides of the holder are leaf springs 16 which are secured in cutaway portions atthe sides or" the receptacle as shown in Figure 2. The leaf springs 16 at their free extremities bear against the transverse roller 17 to press the roller '17 against the sheets 10 of toilet paper. The roller 17 functions to keep the bundle of sheets in flat condition during storage in the receptacleand to facilitate removal of the sheet which is to be withdrawn. The receptacle 14 is also provided with a pin 18 for engaging the sheets of paper through the apertures 11 to prevent the accidental disengagement of the sheets of paper from the holder. The holder is cutaway at the corners 19 to give access to the paper so that a single sheet may be easily gripped by the thumb and forefinger. The paper holder 14: must, ofcourse, be provided either with a latch'or a lock 20 for preventing its accidental or unauthorizedopening. The cover 12 is secured to the toilet seat by means of hinges 21 in the usual manner except that these hinges so space the seat and cover as to accommodate the extra thickness of the cover due to the paper holder.
The manner in which the device is to be used will be obvious from the foregoing description. The attendant simply fills the receptacles of the toilet seat covers with the sheets of sanitary paper, this being part of his regular duty. Because of thesimplicity of construction, the receptacles can be opened, filled and closed in the minimum amount of. time.) The sheets are very thin and the receptacles are each large enough to hold a days supply of paper. The user slmply grasps a sheet of paper at its lower corners and withdraws it from the recep.
tacle, it being drawn directly over the toilet seat without requiring that it be specially placed in position. The use of the paper is sanitary and hygenic and its use is encouraged by the great convenience of the receptacle and paper. The use of the paper may be made free but if it is desired to require a nominal payment. in order to prevent waste, a coin controlled feed mechanism may be added to the construction which Ihave shown and described.
Having thus described my invention in such full, clear, and exact terms that its construction and utility will be readily un derstood by others skilled in the art to which it pertains, what I claim as neW and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. In combination, a cover hinged to a toilet seat, a receptacle in said cover for the storage of a plurality of sheets of paper, said receptacle being provided With an opening the hinged extremity of said cover whereby the sheets of paper may be Withdrawn, and means for preventing the sheets of paper from falling out of said receptacle.
in combination, a cover hinged to a toilet seat, a receptacle in said cover for the reception of a plurality of sheets of paper, said receptacle being provided with an opening at the hinged extremity of said cover for the withdraivl of the sheets of paper, a pin in said receptacle and passing through all of the sheets of paper for preventing them from accidentially falling out of said receptacle, and spring pressed means for yieldably holding the sheets of paper in aid receptacle,
v3. In combination, a cover hinged at its rear extreinity to a toilet seat, a receptacle positioned between said toilet seat and said cover, said receptacle being hinged to said cover adjacent its :forward extremity and being adapted to receive plurality oi sheets of toilet paper having substantially the size and form v0t the toilet seat, said receptacle 1,ess,2
i. In combination with a toilet seat and a coverhingedly secured thereto at its'rear' extremity, a receptacle hingedly secured to said cover adjacent its forward extremity and being adapted to receive a plurality of sheets or toilet paper, each of the sheets of toilet paper having substantially the size and form or the toilet seat, said receptacle being open at its rear extremity forth-e withdrawal of the sheets of toilet paper over the toilet seat when said cover is in its open position, .a {pin in said receptacle for engaging all of the sheets of toilet paper, a transversely positioned roller at the ford or open-end of said receptacle, springs wl ch normally urge said roller in intimate contact with the toilet paper to facilitate the withdrawal or the toilet paper from said receptacle, and manually releasable'means for normally preventing the movement of said receptacle on its hinges.
In testimony whereof I atlix my signature.
