Description
Nov. 12, 1929. c. E. STALTER C OLLAPS IBLE FURNI TURE Filed July 9, 192'! Patented Nov. 12, 1929 GHABLEsE, STALTER, or HASLETT, ivr-ronremv ooLLArsIB E FURNITURE Application filed July 9, 1927. Serial No. 204,464.
The invention'relates to improvements in collapsible furniture and has for its primary object the provision of a construction of this character adapted and arranged to serve as a collapsible bath tub or the like.
Another object of the invention is the provision of an improved-construction of this character which is efficient in operation and capable of economical manufacture.
Another object of the inventlon is the provision of a collapsible article of furniture capable of various uses.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
, In general the objects of the lnventlon are 1 attained by providinga collapsible'open top skeleton frame and a co-operating collapsible tub member. The collapsible tub member is made from a rectangular sheet of Waterproof Y material formed into rectangular vessel form by folding the corners thereof into triangular folds resting against the ends of saidvessel, said vessel being inserted into-said frame with said triangular folds imprisoned between the ends of the tub member and the ends of the frame whereby the weight of material in the tub member will hold said sheet in vessel, form. The upper side edges of said tub, member are detachably secured to the upper sides of said frame.
The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter clescribed and claimed.
The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which Fig. 1 is aperspective view of a device shown in position of use; v
Fig. 2 an end view of the frame of the device shown partially collapsed;
Fig. 3 an enlarged detail view of one corner of the frame, and
Fig. 4 a perspective view of the frame reversed in position and useable as a seat.
The. preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawings comprises a collapsible frame made up of metal end bars 10 crossed upon each other and pivoted centrally. at 11 to each other, there being one of .50 said end members consisting of two of.sa1d
pivoted end bars ateach end of said frame.
The ends of the end bars 10 are bent inwardly to form securing ears or lugs 12 which are perforated for the passage of rivets 13 securing Wooden side bars 1 1 thereto as shown, each end of each end bar being thus connected. with the corresponding end. of the corresponding bar in the other end member, thereby forming a collapsible open top frame, as
shown. The lower side bars'l i are connected by acollapsible sheet 15 of canvas, or the like, and the upper ends of each pair of end ars'lO are connected'by two foldablelinks 16 pivotally connected toeach other at 17 and to said end bars at 18. Theflinksjlfi and the sheet 15 serve as means for limiting the swing of'the end bars 10 in one direction thereby holding said bars'in distendedform and. ca
pable of bearing weight; The-sheet 15 constitutes the bottom of the frame thus provided and also when said frame is reversed,
as indicatedin Fig. 4, it will serve as a seat. The foldable brace members 16 also cokoperate with the sheet 15 to limit'swing of the end bars 10 in one direction, thereby relieving said sheet. 15 of undue strain, and said brace 16 also constitutes atop barfor the frame when distended as indicated in F ig.1-. A- tub member 19 co-operates with the frame thus provided and is supported there by. Said tub member consists of a rectangu lar sheet of waterproof: material folded as indicated into rectangular'vessel form to fit within the collapsibleframathe corners of;
said sheet being formed into-triangular folds 20 resting against the ends of said vessel and also against the inner sides of the brace members 16 and whereby the-weightof-the water or other liquid in'the tub :member 19 will press said folds 20against said brace member 16 and thereby hold the same in place and prevent outward collapse ofthe tub member. The tub member is also provided with a plurality of snap fastening elements 21 arranged along its-side edges and the up per side bars'14 of the frameare-provided with ,co-operating snap members 22 for quick detachable engagement with thesnapmembers 21 thereby detachably fastening the up per side edges ofsaid-tubmember'to said frame and preventing outward collapse of said tub member when filled with liquid.
' The triangular jfolds are provided with eyelets 22 fitting over the end fastenings 22 and held thereon by fastening 21 whereby said end folds are further held in place.
Byzthis ar izangement asimple and effective collapsible .rtn'b or vessel is provided which may be readily folded into compact space for transportation and readily ldistendedfor nse as desired. The collapsible frame cooperating with the tub member is also ieapable for parting use as a folding camp chair or the like.
While the preferred form'aof nonstrnctien for carrying the invention into effect has .beenillustrated; and described: this is capable off -Nar-iation and modification Without def'rom lfllBiSPlTlb Of the'invention. :It -is,'therefore,rnot desiredto limitthe patent 1-toithe:prec1se details. disclosed but to include vtherein also .such variations and inodificar fleii'b le sheet conn'ecting :the said side bare atlthe bottom o f said frame and foldable links connecting :the npper' p'ortions ofeach pair of end bar-s; and a tub member made of a sheet of flexible WfltBI'PIOOf inaterial fol'dable :into vessel form and insertable-in said frame.
-2. "A -device of the class descri'bed comprising 'a-cQlla'psibl-e frame, sai'dframe consisting of two :end b-ars pivoted to each other centrally at ea'h endof said frame, side bars angular frame; a sheet of flexible material connecting the lower side bars; and a pair of pivoted foldable links connecting the upper ends of each pair of end bars.
4. A tub member made of a rectangular sheet of flexible waterproof material folded into vessel form, the 'lCOT'ILQISAOfvSflld sheet being formed into triangular ifolds iresting.
