SEAT oons'rnuo'rron mt SANITARY TOILETS.
Application filed February 17, 1927. Serial No. 168,869.
This invention relates to sanitary toilets and is particularly directed to a seat construction for'such toilet adapted toreceive soluble paper pads.
Objects of this invention are to provide a novel torn! of toilet in which the seat is provided with two distinct supporting portions for the body which .are not joined at the rear of the seat but are distinct and separate members and are provided with fingers norm ally positionedwithin the outline of the seat and adapted for eitherautomatic or manual actuation to remove protecting sheets that may be placed on the seat portions.
liurlhcr objects are to provide a novel form of toilet seat which composed of two. z-zcparate members each of which is formed of n'ietal, so that the utmost sanitary conditions may be maintained as the material is nonabsorhent and non-porous, and to so construct thevseat that the portionsare provided with channels or transverse recesses which constitute housing depressions for pivotally mounted fingers actuated by dis tinct rock shafts and controlled either manually or by the flushing of the toilet itself. 1
Further objects are to provide a simple type ofconstructionalthough possessing the above enumerated characteristics, and one which is highly practical and eminently satisfactory.
An embodiment of the invention is shown in the accompanying drawings in whichz Figure 1 is a. plan view of the device; Figure 2 is a sectional view therethrough;
Figure 3 is a transverse sectional view ap proximately on the line 33 of Figure 1 Figure 4t isa plan view of one of the protecting sheets; i i
Figure 5 is a side elevation of the structure shown in Figure 1; i
Figure 6 is an end elevation of the structure shown in Figured;
Figure 7 is a transverse sectional View showing the fingers in actuated position;
Figure 8 is a View partly in section from the underside of one of the seat portions.
Referring to the d 'awings, it will be seen that the usual bowl 1 has been indicated as provided with a flushing passage 2 adjacent the rear thereof, such passage being con tinued as far as desired around the sides of the bowl in the usualmanner.
The seat construction comprises a U- shaped metal member 3 which is provided with a pair of rearwardly extending ears 1 hinged to the bowl by means 01. a pintle pin 5. The members 3 continue forwardly and "as may be seen from Figure 8 and are each provided with hearing portions 6 for the reception oi the rock shafts 7 and 8. The member 3 carries a pair of forwardly positioned spaced seat portions 9 which are formed of metaland are preterably enamelled. These seat portions aresecured to the members 3 in any suitable manner, as indicated in Figure 8, for instance. Each seat portion is provided with a. plurality of transverse grooves or depressions 10 for the reception of the strip removing lingers 11, such lingers being curved and. secured to the rock shatts 7 and 8, as shown most clearly in Figure 7. Normalhg,the-91c fingers are housed or seated within the depressions 10, as shown in Fig iii-e2, and are below the upper outline of the seat sections.
Means are provided for either auton'iatical- 1y or manually sin'iultaneously rocking the fingers 11 about the axis of the rock shafts ,7 and 8. One ofthe shafts/T, for example,
of the arm 12, as shown in Figures 2 and 7.
so that when the arm 12 is depressed it will i carry with it the arm 14 and thus cause the simultaneous rocking or actuation oi all of the stri 'iping l'ingers ll.
It is to be noted further that the rock shaft 7 is provided also with a manipulating outwardly. projecting handle 15,
shown in Figure 1, so that the fingers may be simultaneously manually actuated as well as automatically actuated It is to be notedthat the rock shafts 7 and 8 are journaled within the bearing por tion 6 (see Figure 8) of the members 3 and prel'lerably each is provided with a coiled restoring spring 16 adapted to return such shafts to their normal position, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. i
It is intended that protecting strips or sheets, as indicated at 17 be used with'this sanitary seat and such strips may be autoa paper glued together at their margins and provided with a cup or channel shaped recess as shown most clearly in Figure 3, so that they ma y be readily titted o-ver the respective scat sections. They may be given other shapes, if desired, provided they c0- operate with the seat sections and are readily positioned thereon and removed therefro:
In using the apparatus, the operator places a pair of these protectii'ig strips 17 on the scat section and when the toilet is flashed the downwardly flowing stream of water strikes the cup-duped member 13 and rocks the parts into the position shown in Figure 7, thus rocking the fingers 11 upwardly and inwardly and lifting the protecting sheets from the seat sections and discharging them into the bowl. If it is desired I to manually remove these protecting sheets,
this may be readily accomplished by ma,- nipnlating the handle or lever 15.
It will be seen that a highly sanitary toilet has been provided in which the distinct seat sections are formed of metal and may be most easily sterilized or cleaned and maintained in a highly sanitary condition.
Further, it will be seen that these seat sections are protected when in use by protecting strips, and that means are provided whereby these protecting strips may be removed without contact with the hand of the operator.
Referring particularly to the pads shown in Figures 4 and 5 of the drawings, it is to be noted that the covers or vpads 17 are to be "formed from soluble material, whereby they will integrate quickly and will thus pass. out through the fitting readily. Thesesanitary seat covers or pads may be formed with their valaneed edges glued together to provide the properly contoured valance, or they may be crimped or cupped to form the channel-shaped recess desired. vlVhile the invention is fully described as to detail, it is contemplated by me to provide acontainer tor the seat pads under coin control, whereby seats or pads may be conveniently dispensed for the use of the publie.
It will thus be seen that a highly sanitary toilet has been provided by this invention and one which is of simple and reliable construction, although having the characteris tics discussed above.
Although the invention has been described in considerable detail, such d scription is intended as illustrative rather than limiting as the lllTQlit-lOil may be \airiously embodied and as the scope of such invention is to be determined as claimed.
I. claim:
i. In a sanitary toilet, the combination of a bowl having a flushing orifice, a seat mounted above the bowl and adapted to receive protecting sheets, stripping means for removing the sheets froin the seat and depositing them in the bowl, and mechanism having a portion located below the flushing orifice and actuated by the flushing stream for imparting motion to said stripping fingers.
2. In a sanitary toilet, the combination of a bowl having a flushing orifice, a pair of seat sect-ions mounted above said bowl and adapted to receive protecting sheets, said seat sections having transverse depressions, a pair of rock shafts journalled beneath the seat sections and having stripping fingers normally housed within the said transverse depressions, and actuating means for said rock shafts located below said flushing orifice and actuated by the flushing stream.
3. A seat construction for a sanitary toilet comprising a U-shaped metal member adapted for positioning above the toilet bowl, and apair of separate and distinct metal seat sections carried by the outer ends of the arms of said U-sliaped member.
l. A seat construction for a sanitary toilet comprising a U-shaped metal member having means for pivotal connection with a bowl, and an enamelled metal seat portion carried by said U'shaped member.
A seat construction for a. sanitary toilet comprisinga U-shaped metal member having means for pivotal connection with a bowl andan enamelled metal seat portion carried by said Ushaped membeigsaid seat portion consisting of distinct and separate sections.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto setmy hand at Marinette,
in the county of Marinette and State of lVisconsin.
EDWARD P. OLSEN.
