TOILET SEAT Filed Aug. 13, 193s Patented Jan. 4, 1938 UNITED ST ATNT CFFICE 8 Claims.
My present invention provides .an extremely simple and highly efficient divided toilet seat of the adjustable type and, generally stated, the invention consists of the novel devices, combinations of devices and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and defined in the claims.
The purposes and objects of a seat of this character are well understood, but, briefly stated, are to provide a seat suitable for adults and children.
Also the invention provides such a seat that is of neat appearance, strong, durable and capable of very quick and easily performed adjustments.
In the accompanying drawing, which illustrates the invention, like characters indicate like parts throughout the several views.
Referring to the drawing:
Fig. 1 is a plan view showing the improved seat, an expanded position thereof being shown by full lines and a contracted position thereof being indicated by dotted lines;
Fig. 2 is a fragmentary view with some parts in horizontal section;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary edge elevation of the seat, some parts being removed;
.Fig 4 is a section taken on the line 3 4 of Fig. l;
Fig. 5 is a fragmentary view in bottom plan view showing parts in the vicinity of the section line 4 4;
Fig. 6 is a fragmentary view corresponding to Fig. 2 but illustrating a slightly modified construction; and
Fig. 7 is a section taken on the line 'l-l of Fig. 6.
Referring first to the construction illustrated in Figs. 1 to 5, inclusive, the numeral 8 indicates the two seat sections; and the numeral 9 indicates an anchoring bracket which is adapted to be rigidly secured to the body of the bowl by any suitable means, such as depending studs l0 that may be embedded in the bowl. The bracket 9 is provided with a rounded lug I I through which a transversely extended hinge-rod I 2 is extended and to which said rod is rigidly secured by suitable means, such as a pin I 3.
The sections of the seat are independently pivoted on the projecting ends of the hingerod I2. The seat sections are adapted to be made of any suitable material, such as wood, plain or coated with rubber, or of composition material. Especially for the application of wooden sections metal sleeves Ill, which act as bushings, are rigidly secured to the rear ends of the seat sections and mounted on the hinge-rod for both sliding and pivotal movements. Preferably, and
as shown, the exteriors of these sleeves or bushings Ii are rectangular in cross-section and are set into grooves or rabbeted seats formed in the ends of said seat sections. As best shown in Fig.
2, the sleeves I4 are secured to the seat sections f by screws I5 that are countersunk into the inner walls of said sleeves and are screwed into the seat sections. To permit of the application of the screws, the outer walls of the sleeves are provided with large openings IIi into one of which is screwed a cap screw or plug I1. In each cap nut or plug Il is mounted a spring-pressed latch ball I8 that is engageable with a groove I9 formed in the corresponding end of the hinge-rod.
Resilient bumpers or stop elements 2l, preferably of rubber, are cemented or otherwise rigidly secured to approximately L-shaped metal anchoring clips 22 which, in turn, are secured to the seat sections with freedom for transverse adjustments by screws 23 that work through slots 24 in said metal clips and are screwed into the seat sections. By lateral adjustments of the clips 22, the rubber or other pliable bodies 2| can be adjusted so that their tops and depending portions closely engage with the bowl rim when the seat sections are expanded to their maximum positions.
The slightly modied structure illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7 is especially intended for use when the seat sections are made of moulded material covered with rubber or the like. In these two views the seat sections are indicated by the character 8a, the hinge-rod by the character I2a, the bushing by the character ma, the cap nut by the character Ila, the spring-pressed ball by the character I8a, and the co-operating groove by the character |9a. The sleeve or bushing Ida, in this instance, is a cylinder and is driven into and closely fits seat formed in the seat section.
It is important to note that the seat sections are capable of independent lateral as well as independent pivotal movements so the seat can be drifted from one side to the other and the sections can be independently raised. Also, it will be noted that the projecting plugs I1 have outstanding heads that Will afford knobs or finger pieces that may be engaged to laterally adjust the seat sections Without taking hold of the seat sections proper. Suitable knobs for the above purpose may be applied to the sections at the sides, top or Where desired.
From the foregoing the structure, the purposesV and advantages thereof are thought to have been made obvious. It will be understood that the structure illustrated is capable of miodication Within the scope of the invention herein disclosed and claimed.
What I claim is:
1. A toilet seat comprising an anchoring bracket, a hinge-rod rigidly secured to and projecting transversely in opposite directions therefrom, seat sections having grooved ends, sleeves seated in said grooves and rigidly secured to the respective seat sections, said sleeves being telescoped onto the ends of said hinge-rod for pivotal and sliding movements thereon.
2. The structure defined in claim v1 in which said anchoring bracket has a collar-like hub through which said hinge-rod is directly passed, said, sleeves being terminated short of the inner rear portions' of said seat sections so as to clear the hub ofsaid anchor bracket and permit the seat sections to be moved into close association.
3. In a toilet seat, an anchoring bracket, a hinge-rod applied to and projecting therefrom transversely in opposite directions, and seat sections applied to said rod and thereby supported for pivotal movements and. for lateral adjustments, in further combination with sleeves applied to the rear ends of said seat sections and through which said hinge-rod is extended, said rod, near its ends, having grooves, and springpressed latch elements carried by the seat sections and engageable with said grooves.
4. In a toilet seat, an anchoring bracket, a
hinge-rod applied to and projecting therefrom transversely in opposite directions, and seat sections applied to said rod and thereby supported for pivotal movements and for lateral adjustments, in combination with bearing sleeves applied to the rear ends of said seat sections and through which said hinge-rod is extended, detachable plugs applied through said sleeves, spring-pressed balls mounted in said plugs, said hinge-rod having grooves with which the said spring-pressed balls engage. 5. In a toilet seat, an anchoring bracket, a hinge-rod applied to and projecting therefrom transversely in opposite directions, and seat sec` tions applied to said rod and thereby supported for pivotal movements and for lateral adjust-lr ments, in combination with bearing sleeves applied to the rear ends of said seat sections and through which said hinge-rod is extended, detachable plugs applied through said sleeves, spring-pressed latch elements mounted in said plugs, said hinge-rod having grooves with which the said spring-pressed balls engage, and said rod, at its ends, having cap screws, the heads of which project and afford stops for limiting the separating movements of said seat sections.
6. In a toilet seat, a fixed anchoring bracket, a hinge-rod rigidly secured to said anchoring bracket and projecting therefrom transversely in opposite directions, and seat sections mounted for free and independent pivotal and free and kindependent sliding movements on the ends of said rod.
7. The structure defined in claim 6 in which said rod, at its ends, has detachable stops limiting the separating movements of said seat sections.
V8. The structure Ydefined in claimi 6 in which the seat sections are provided with independent bearing sleeves applied at their rear portions and which are directly mounted on the projecting ends of said rod.
