F. WILLIAMS WATER CLOSET FLUSH BOWL Filed Nov. 20, 1934 Patented Nov. 26, 1935 UHTED STATES ATENT. emer- 8 Claims.
The chief object of this invention is to enable articles for personal use in bath rooms, such .as hot water bottles, douche bags, catheters, bottles of disinfectant, and sanitary pads or napkins, to be stored for convenient accessibility in the outer portion of a water closet flush bowl, below the hinged seat thereof, instead of in a closet or cabinet more or less remote from the bowl.
Another object is to prevent access of children bent on mischief to articles thus stored.
Other objects will hereinafter appear.
Of the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification,-
Figure l is a perspective view showing one side of a flush bowl embodying the invention.
- Figure 2 is a section on the plane indicated by line 2-2 of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective view showing posite side of the flush bowl.
Figure 4 is a section on the plane indicated by the line i4 of Figure 1, showing'a douche bag supporting standard associated with the flush bowl.
Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4, showing the standard raised to an operative position.
Figures 6 and 'I are fragmental sectional views illustrating the operation of the preferred doorlocking means.
The same reference characters indicate the same parts in all of the figures.
In the drawing, l2 designates a water closet flush bowl, having the usual, or any suitable, seat l3 hinged at its rear portion to the bowl.
In carrying out my invention I provide the bowl with a receptacle for articles for personal use such as those named in the openingportion of this-specification. Said receptacle includes an outwardly opening storage space [4 and a closure l5 therefor, said closure being preferably a door of chromium steel connected with the bowl by a spring hinge H5, which normallycloses the door.
I provide means for locking the'door in its closed position, said means being preferably organized ashereinafter described.
45 The receptacle is provided internally with means for supporting the contained articles. Said means may be organized to segregate said articles and permit convenient selection of the desired article. The supporting means may be provided by hooks H, or other suitable devices, attached to the door and adapted to suspend several articles side by side, so that the articles may be moved into and out of the storage space by the door. The supporting means may be differently organized, as hereinafter described.
the op- The preferred door locking means shown by Figures 1, 2, 6 and 7, comprisesa vertical rod l8 movable vertically in a fixed guide H) on the bowl, a spring 26 located in a socket in the upper portion of the bowl, and resiliently supporting the 5 rod with its upper end, which is provided with a head 2 I, raised above a depression 210 in the top of the bowl, and in position to support the forward portion of the hinged seat I3 slightly raised above the bowl, so that downward pressure on 0 the seat depresses the rod. The door is provided with a locking member 22, and the rod 18 with a complemental locking member 23. Said members are interengageable to lock the door by an upward movement of the rod, and are separable to unlock the door, by a downwardmovement of the rod.
When the door is swinging to its closed position; as indicated by the arrow :1: in Figure 2, and the rod I6 is raised by the spring, the lock- 20 ing member 23 on the rod is in the path of the locking member 22 on the door and arrests the movement of the door before it is fully closed, as shown by Figure 6. The forward end of the seat is and the rod is are then depressed to 5 cause the member 23 to release the member 22, and permit the closing of the door. Pressure is then removed from the seat and the rod i3 is raised by the spring 20 to cause the member 23 to engage the member 22, as shown by Figure 30 7, and lock the fully closed door,
Assuming that the door is locked, and that the seat is depressed by a person sitting, or exert ing muscular eifort thereon, it will be seen that the depression of' the seat causes the unlock- 35 ing of the door so that access to articles in the storage space is permitted. To prevent the depression' of the seat and the unlocking of the door by a young child, a spring 20 is provided having sufiicient strength to resist any down- 4 ward pressure on the seat that can be caused, for example, by the weight or the muscular effort of a child weighing about seventy-five pounds; hence the door can be unlocked only by the weight or musculareffort of a heavier and stronger person. Mischievous interference'with the receptacle by an irresponsible child is therefore prevented.
I am not limited by the locking means provided by therod l8 and spring 29, it being obvious that the door may be held in its closed position by a key operated look.
I prefer to provide the bowl with two of the described receptacles, one at one side of the bowl, (shown by Figure 1), and the other at the opposite side, (shown by Figure 3). In this instance the receptacle shown by Figure 3 is provided. with a pocket 25, which is preferably a wire basket attached to the door or" the compartment, and adapted to contain loose articles, such as sanitary napkins.
With the bowl may be combined a standard 29 vertically movable in a guide on the bowl, said standard having means at its upper end for sup-, porting a douche bag taken from a compartment of the bowl, said guide and standard having means for releasably confining the standard in position to hold the bag so elevated above the bowl seat that the usual catheter associated with the bag can perform its function, the standard being movable to an inconspicuous depressed position behind the bowl when its use is not required.
The bowl is provided with two spaced apart rearwardly projecting extensions, or ears, 26 and. 21, one above the other. The upper extension 26 is provided with a tubular bushing, the bore of which constitutes a guide 28 in which the standard 2c is vertically movable. The lower portion of said bore is enlarged and screw threaded to provide a tapped socket 30, (Figure 4). The lower extension 27 is provided with a plain socket 3|. The standard 29 is provided at its upper end with a douche bag-supporting hook 32, and at its lower end with a screw threaded enlargement 33 adapted to engage the tapped socket 38 when the standard is raised, as shown by Figure 5. When the enlargement 33 is disengaged from the socket 39, the standard drops, and its enlargement 33 rests in the socket 3!, the standard being thus located inconspicuously behind the bowl, and confined against lateral displacement.
It will be seen that the base l2 of the bowl includes a pedestal portion and a top portion overhanging the pedestal portion, the latter having two opposite side faces of relatively large area and proportioned to permit the formation therein of shallow recesses of correspondingly large area, each recess having a. substantially vertical back wall oiTset inwardly from the external surface of the pedestal, and with top, bottom and end walls defining, on the external surface of the pedestal, the mouth of the recess.
It will also be seen that the door hinged to the pedestal at one of the end walls and formed to close the recess mouth, is of correspondingly large area, so that the recess and door constitute a receptacle located wholly below and overhung by the base top and the seat, said receptacle being of suitable area to contain a desirable number of articles suspended from hanger means carried by the upper portions of the back wall and door.
I claim:
1. A water closet flush bowl comprising a base including a pedestal and a top overhanging the pedestal, a seat hinged to the top, the pedestal being provided with an outwardly opening recess having a substantially vertical back wall offset inwardly from the external surface of the pedestal, and with top, bottom, and end walls, defining a recess mouth on said external surface, a door hinged to the pedestal at one of the end walls and formed to close said mouth, said recess and door constituting a receptacle located below the seat and overhung by the base top, and formed to contain articles for personal use, and.
