Description
Patented Dec. 3, 1935 UNITED STATES inconvenience found in most bathrooms is that I the fcleaning' material and cleaning brushes are not kept in one place.
An object of my invention is to provide a cabinet of the above-mentioned type in which a commode brush or the like and cans of cleaning powder may be placed sothat they may be kept in the bathroom but out of sight.
A further object of my invention is to provide a cabinet of the above-mentioned type in which a commode brush may be stored while wet and left there until it is to be used again.
A still further object of my invention is to provide a cabinet of the above-mentioned type which can be easily cleaned and which is economical to manufacture.
Other features of my invention will appear from, the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, in which Figure 1 is a view in perspective of a cabinet constructed in accordance with my invention;
Fig. 2 is a view in perspective of a cabinet constructed in accordance with a modified form of myinvention;
Fig. 3 is a view in perspective of the door of the cabinets shown in Figs. 1 and 2;
- Fig. 4 is a-view in perspectiveof the member that forms the main part of the cabinets shown in Figs. 1 and 2;
Fig. 5 is a view in perspective of the member thatforms the top, the partition, and the bottom shelf of the cabinet shown in Fig. 2, and
Fig. 6 is a view showing an alternative construction for the guides for the'sliding door.
' Referring to Fig. 1, my invention comprises a cabinet which is tall compared with its width and depth and which is divided into. two compartments it and II, the left-hand compartment I; being open at the top to permit the insertion of a longhandied brush and the right-hand compartment ll being closed at the top.
The main part of the cabinet is formed from a single piece of sheet metal i 2 bent to form the two sides i3 and I4 and the back I! of the cabicaanm'r Robert J. Trotter, Pittsbnrg front edges r the sheet I2 as shown in Fig. 6.
welded to the sides of the cabinet.
PATE'Fh'r OFFICE Application August 22. 1932, Serial scenes 4 Claims. (01. 312-141) net. This portion of the cabinet is shown in detail in Fig. 4. The front-edges l6 and II of the 7 sheet l2 are bent at right angles to the sides I3 and I l,to form the-front guides of two grooves in which the cabinet door slides. 5
The back guides of the grooves are formed by strips I2 and I! bent at right angles and welded to the sides l3 and II. If desired, both front and back guides may be formed by bending the The bottom of the cabinet is formed by a watertight pan 28 which is preferably drawn or pressed from a sheet of flat metal by means of suitable dies. The pan is spot-welded or otherwise fastened to the main portion of the cabinet.
The cabinet is divided into the open and clam compartments it and by means of a single piece of sheet metal 2! which, in the design shown in Fig. 1, is bent at the ends to form a Z-shape member. cal portion of the member 2| The vetti has its edges 22 turned at right-angles thereto and these edges are welded to the sides l2 and ll of the cabinet so that a partition extends from the top of the cabinet to within an inch or two from the bottom.
The upper part 2 3 of the Z-shape member forms the top of the closed compartment II. The side edges 24 and the front edge are bent at rightangles to the top surface and the side edges are The lower part 25 of the Z-shape member extends into the brush compartment It to support the brush. It has slots 26 punched therein so that a wet brush may rest upon support 25 and the water drain into the pan 2! below.
Shelves 2'! and 28 are provided in the closed compartment II for cans of cleaning powder, cleaning cloths, and the like. The shelves have their edgesJurned down at right-angles and the back edge and the side edges are welded to the partition 2! and to the sides l2 and II, respectively.
The shelves and contents of the compartment ii are concealed by a sliding panel or door 29. 1 As shown in Fig. 3, the door comprises a single sheet of metal which has its edges turned over to stiflen it and to remove cutting edges. The top edge 30 of the door is bent at right-angles to the main part of the door to form a grip for raising and lowering the door.
The lower part of the cabinet Ls ventilated by means of holes 3| punched in the sides of the cabinet. Such ventilation causes the brush to dry more rapidly than it would otherwise.
A handle is fastened to the top of the cabi- 2'. netsothatitmaybecarriedeasily. Asthedimensions of the cabinet, in the preferred embodiment of the invention, are approximately 18 by 6 by 6 inches, it is light in weight. A hole 33 is provided in the back of the cabinet so that the cabinetmaybehungonthewallifdesired.
il'hecabinetshowninl igi is thesameas that shown in Fig. 1 except that the z-shape member is replaced by a U-shape member I which is shown-indetail in Fig. 5.:
The upper part 35 of member 34 on exactly to member 23 in Fig. l.
The lower part it of member 3| is bent into the closed compartment 1 I to form the bottom shelf. The upper shelf is formedby a separate piece as shown in Fig. l.
It will be noted that, in both cabinet designs, the back part of the cabinet bottom can be reached easily from the front of the cabinet for cleaning. In order to make a cabinet small enough to occupy but little space in the bathroom, the partition is set closer to the back of the cabinet than to the door so that just suflicient space is provided between the partition and back to permit an average size commode brush to be inserted. In Figs. 1 and 2 the partition is about 2% inches from the back it. Because of this close fit, it'
was found that a clamp for catching the brush handle could not be placed on the back of the cabinet below the hole 33, as it would not permit the insertion of the brush into the brush compartment It. The difliculty was finally overcome by fastening a clamp 31 to the side 13 of the cabinet, as shown in Fig. 2. Since the width of compartment II is considerably greater than the width of the brush, the brush will pass by the clamp 31 readily and, although the side of the brush will swingagainsttheside ,thepressurewiilnotbe suflicient to flatten the wet brush. By thus suspending the wet brush from a clamp, the bottom of the brush is prevented from flattening out as it would if the brush were permitted to rest on the 2 bottom of the cabinet.
Ithas been found that a cabinet height of approximately 18 inches is desirable to properly conceal the average commode brush and that a bottom approximately 6 inches square should be is avoided.
Various modifications may be made in my invention without departing from thespirit and scope thereof, and I desire, therefore, that only such limitations shall be placed thereon as are imposedbythepriorartandaresetforthinthe appended claims.
4 I claim as my invention:
