BATH MAT Filed Feb. 25, 1938 I III lwl II II II 5: ll l I II I l I II I WWWW W ATTORNEYS.
Patented Aug. 15, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to a stand designed for positioning in bath tubs, floors of shower baths or the like, the primary object of the invention being to provide a slatted stand or support on which the person using the bath tub or shower may stand, the structure of the device being such as to insure against the person slipping, which usually results in bodily injury.
An important object of the invention is to n provide a stand of this character wherein the construction of the slats will form a comfortable seat at one end of the stand, should the user desire to use the support in a sitting position.
A still further object of the invention is the ll provision of means for securing the stand in position against slipping or displacement while in use, the securing device being of the removable type for ready replacement when the securing means becomes damaged or otherwise rendered 20 inoperative.
With the foregoing and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of con- 25 struction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein described, may be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the inven- 30 tion.
Referring to the drawing:
Figure 1 is a plan view of a stand constructed in accordance with the invention.
Figure 2 is a side elevationalview thereof.
5 Figure 3 is an end elevational view of the stand.
Figure 4 is an elevational view of the opposite end of the stand.
Figure 5 is a detail sectional view of one of the vacuum cups.
40 Referring to the drawing in detail, the stand comprises a body portion made up of a plurality of spaced parallel slats indicated by the reference character 5, the slats being connected at points adjacent to the ends and centers thereof 45 by means of the transverse bars 6.
As clearly shown by the drawing, one of the respective ends of each slat 5 is widened as at I, the upper surfaces of the slats, at the wide ends thereof being curved slightly upwardly, as at 8 so that the wide ends of the slats will cooperate in providing a comfortable seat at one end of 5 the stand, the upwardly curved surfaces thereof conforming to the body of the person seated on the stand.
Formed in the bars 6, are openings in which the extensions 9 of the legs I0 are secured, the 10 legs I0 being formed with annular grooves II so that the suction cups indicated at l2 may be stretched thereover, the elasticity of the suction cups acting to grip the walls of the grooves, securely but removably holding the suction cups I2 in position on the leg members.
Thus it will be seen that these suction cups will grip the surface of the bath tub. or floor of the shower bath with which the stand is used, to insure against the stand slipping while in use.
It will further be seen that because of the construction of the stand, water may drain between the slats thereof and run off through the usual drain of the tub or shower, leaving the slats comparatively free of moisture to the end 5 that a person may stand on the device: with a degree of certainty that he will not slip while using the bath tub or shower.
It will of course be understood that the size and construction of the stand may be varied to meet various requirements, within the scope of the claim, and without departing from the spirit of the invention.
What is claimed is:
In a stand of the class described, a body portion comprising a plurality of spaced parallel slats, means for securing the slats together, said slats having wide ends curved slightly upwardly, the side edges of the adjacent wide upwardly curved ends contacting and cooperating in providing a curved seat portion, the spaced between adjacent side edges of the slats providing drain openings, and means for securing the stand on the surface on which the stand is positioned.
