Description
Dec. 20, 1938. E. M. FISCHER APRONED ABSORBENT BATH MAT Filed Nov. 20, 1937 INVENTQR [manue/ M. Fischer ATTQRNEY Patented Dec. 20, 1938 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 3 Claims.
The invention relates to an aproned absorbent bath mat.
When bathing, particularly with children, water is splashed from the bath tub onto the bath room floor. This not only makes a messy condition to clean up but on a tile floor a person is apt to slip and have a serious accident. If a person desires tostep out of the bath tub after bathing to dry oneself the water will naturally drip from the body over the sides of the tub and will be troublesome to clean up. The principal object of the present invention is to provide a means whereby the floor of the bath room will always be kept clear of water either from splashing in the bath tub or from a person stepping out of the bath.
The invention will be fully described in the following specification and illustrated in the drawing forming a part thereof. Referring to said drawing:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing the aproned absorbent bath mat in position; and
Fig. 2 is a sectional view of a slightly modified form of the invention.
The reference numeral 5 designates that part of the bath mat which rests on the floor. This part is made of absorbent sponge rubber or a material having similar qualities.
As illustrated in Fig. 1 an apron 6 of compara- 30 tively thin rubber or other waterproof material is secured by snap fasteners 'l to the absorbent mat. Obviously numerous other means than snap fasteners might be utilized to secure the apron to the mat or the apron may be vulcanized 35 or cemented to the mat as in Fig. 2.
The apron 6 as shown in Fig. 1 is draped over one side of the bath tub and suction cup fasteners diagrammatically illustrated at 8 may be utilized to grip the free edge of the apron to the inside 40 of the tub. However, these fasteners may be omitted as the overhanging part of the apron will cling sufficiently to the tub to hold it in place or the overhanging part, if desired, may be preformed or reinforced. Also 8 might indicate Weights embedded in the end of the apron to 5 maintain it in position.
From the foregoing it is thought to be clear that any splash occurring while a person is bathing the water will run down the apron and be absorbed by the mat, or also when a person desires 10 to dry themselves after bathing all excess water from dripping will be absorbed. When not in use the mat and its apron may be rolled up into a compact bundle and stored in any convenient place.
I claim:
1. An article of the kind described, comprising a mat made of moisture absorbent material adapted to rest on the floor adjacent the side of a bath tub and an apron made of compara- 20 tively thin waterprooof material secured to said absorbent mat and adapted to extend upwardly from said mat along the outer side of the bath tub and over the top of the bath tub.
2. An article of the kind described, comprising 25 a mat made of absorbent sponge rubber adapted to rest on the floor adjacent the side of a bath mat and an apron made of comparatively thin rubber secured to said mat and adapted to extend upwardly from said mat along the outer side of the bath tub and over the top of the bath tub.
3. An article of the kind described, comprising a mat made of absorbent sponge rubber adapted to rest on the floor adjacent the side of a bath mat, an apron made of comparatively thin rubber secured to said mat and adapted to extend upwardly from said mat along the outer side of the bath tub and over the top of the bath tub, and means for holding said apron in position.
EMANUEL M. FISCHER.
