Application filed July 28,
This invention relates to an improved toilet seat cover. I
The principal object of the invention is to provide a cover having a heel portion integral therewith for sturdy supporting of the cover, the heel portion being extending at such an angle with respect to the plane of the cover as to avoid any likelihood of moisture collecting in or on it in service, this being a particularly important feature in the case of public toilet equipments where. the attendants are frequently careless in the slushing off of seats and covers with cleansing and disinfecting fluids.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing wherein Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved cover shown in connection with a toilet seat;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged sectional'detail taken on the line 22 of Fig. 1, looking in the direction of the arrows; and,
Fig. 3 is a similar sectional detail showing the cover raised.
he toilet seat 4 in connection with which the cover 5 of my invention is illustrated is preferably of moulded phenolic condensation product, known as bakelite material, although of course the invention is not considered to be especially limited to seats and covers made of this or any other particular material. The hinge arms 6 are suitably moulded integral with the seat 4 to receive the pintle 7 which is supported at opposite ends in posts 8 arranged to be fixed in the usual manner on the bowl of a water closet.
' It has been common practice to provide hinge arms for the swingable mounting oi the cover and I am also aware that covers have been provided with integral heel 'portions to have pivotal mounting on the pintle with the seat. However, the di'lliculty arose that the heel portions, being entirely closed, were found to present pockets for the collection of moisture especially when the cover was left raised after the slushing off of the seat and cover with cleansing and disinfecting fluids. This objection was most keenly realized in the case of public toilets where such equipment is frequently subject to careless treatment.
According to my invention I have provided a heel portion 9 preferably formed integral with the cover proper and provided 1927. Serial No. 208,914.
with an opening 10 for the reception of the i pintle 7. The cover, when moulded like the seat of phenolic condensation product, is cored out as indicated at 11 for lightness and cheapness Without necessarily sacrificing strength. The heel portion extends at an angle of approximately 45 with respect to the plane of the cover, as clearly appears in Figs. 2 and 3, thus presenting a sloping top or outside face at 12 rounded as indicated at 13 at the junction with the top of the cover, and a similarly sloped under or inner face 14. It will be apparent by observation of Figs. 2 and 3 that in the lower position there is absolutely no chance of moisture collecting at the heel portion as any moisture at this point will drain off onto the bowl. In the raised position of the cover the heel portion is disposed at the same angle to the horizontal and any moisture getting onto the cover will drain down over the inside face 14 of the heel portion and onto the 'bowl. In either event the cover will be left perfectly dry.
I claim:
'1. The combination with a toilet seat for a water closet, having a hinge pintle for swingably mounting the same, of a cover arranged to lie in a substantially horizon.-
tal position to cover the seat or to be raised off the seat to a substantially vertical position, said cover having a heel portion integral therewith extending inwardly behind the seat to receive the pintle in an opening therein, and said. heel portion extending at an angle of about 45 to the plane of the cover whereby the outside face of the heel portion lies at about 45 to the horizontal when the cover is lowered and the inside face lies at about the same angle to the horizontal when the cover is raised so that no pocket is left in either position of the cover and any moisture getting onto the cover will drain off and leave the cover dry.
