IMPROVEMENT IN WATER-CLOSETS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 187,540, dated February 20, 1877 ;Y application filed December 30, 1876,
.To lall whom it may concern Be-in known that I, GEORGE R. KUHN, of Brooklyn, in the countyof .Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Water-Closet, of which the following is a specilication:
In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a front evevation, with part cut out, of my improved water-closet; and Fig. 2 is a top' view oi' the saine, partly in horizontal secl tion, on line a: a0, Fig. l.
. B the hinged seatfand C the bow1,of a water or earth closet, commode, or similar device. Directly above the bowl C is arranged a supplementary lid, D, which is preferably made of Vtwo semi-sections, that overlap at their meeting edges, and are lined with rub ber to form a hermetically-sealing joint. The semisections D slide on guide-rails a., so .as to open or close the bowl, the opening of the sections being produced either by depressing the seat, B, which acts ou vertically-sliding pieces b, that operate by an intermediate lever mechanism, E,the sliding lid-sections D, or by depressing with the foot la treadle, B', attached to supports d, extending forward through front recesses d of the frame ofthe watercloset or commode.
The connecting-lever nec'hanism E is provided with weights or springs, that serve to close the lid-sections automatically as soon as the pressure on the seat orvtreadle is released.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentrlhe combination, with a sliding cover, D D, held in place by a weight or spring, ot' the vertical bars b b, connected with mechanism E and treadle B', as and for the purpose specitied. y
