WARDROBE SHOWER-BATH.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 255,317, dated March 21, 1882.
Application filed November 26, 1881. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
. Be it known that I, EDGAR N. MCKIMM, of
Lathrop, in the county ofOlinton and State of Missouri, have invented a new and Improved Wardrobe Shower-Bath, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved shower-bath which will occupy but very little space, and which requires but a small quantity of water, thereby avoiding the great waste of water accompanying ordinary shower-baths.
The invention consists in a wardrobe or casing provided with apump held in a collar, or
ring attached to a pivoted lever resting 011 a pin in the side of the casing, whereby the pump-tube can be raised to place a vessel containing water below it, and then can be lowered into this vessel. The sucker-rod is pivzo oted to a pivoted beam provided with a rod pivoted to a crank-sh alt provided with a treadle I and a handle-rod.
Reference is to be had tothe accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure l is a plan view of my improved shower-bath. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same on the line a: a,
0 Fig. 1. Fig.3 is a cross-sectional elevation of the same on the line y 3 Fig. 1.
The shower-bath is contained in acasing, A, resemblingawardrobe in appearance, and provided with a door, 13. The bottom or floor O of this casing A, which supports a metal or other water-proof tank, D, must be such a distance above the floor of the casin g that a vessel, E, from which the water is pumped and into which the drip-water flows, can be placed under the floor, as shown in Figs.2 and 3. A pump tube or cylinder, F, extends from near the top of the casing down through a sleeve, G, in the tank D, and through the floor U intO the vessel E. This pump-tube F is held by a 5 collar or hand, H, passing around it and attached to a lever, J, pivoted to the side of the casing, and having its free end restin on a pin or stud, K, which may be adjusted iigher or lower by pressing it into a higher or lower aperture, L, in the sides of the casing A. The pump-tube F can thus be adjusted higher or lower. This pump-tube F is provided with a spout or arm, M, at the end of which there is a sprinkler, N, or perforated basin. The piston-rod Oof thepump is pivoted to one end of a walking-beam or lever, P, pivoted to acurved cross-bar, Q, of the casing A. To the other end of this lever P a rod, It, is pivoted, extending downward and pivoted to a crank, S, of a shaft, T, .journaled in the sides of the tank D. This shaft T is provided with a double treadle-plate, U, and with a handle-rod V. The tank D is provided with a waste-water tube, W, which can be closed by a stopper, 1, through which tube W the water in the tank D flows into the vessel E. A removable bracket-step, X, has its top turned over to form a hook for holding it on the side of the tank D. V
The operation is as follows: The vessel E, eontainingwater,is placed under the casing A, and the tube W is closed by means of the stopper I. The person taking the bath rests one foot on the bracket-step X and the other on the treadle-plate U, and then seizes the handle-rod V. By pulling this handle-rod to and fro, and at the same time pressing alternately on the opposite ends of the treadle-plateU, the shaft T will be rocked. This gives a reciprocating movement to the rods Rand0,whereby the pump will be operated, the water flowing through the spout or tube M into the sprinkler or perforated pan or basin N, from which it showers down upon the person in the casing A-that is, upon the person operating the pump. If an invalid is to be bathed, the shaft T is removed, and the pump is operated byme ans of the rod R directly by another person. The pump-tube is raised by means of the lever J to permit placing the vessel E under the casing or wardrobe A, and when this vessel is in positionthe pump-tube is lowered again.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The combination, with the wardrobeAB G, of the metallic tank D, having the sleeve G, the reservoir-vessel E, arranged under the casing, the pump-tube F, the band H, the lesurrounding and supporting it, the pivoted lever J, and the adjustable stud K, as shown ver J, to which the collar H is attached, and and described. the pin K, fitting in apertures L in the sides 2. In awardrobe shower-bath, the combinaof the casing A, for the purpose of supporting :5 (ion, with the pump-tube F, provided with the the end ot' the lever J, substantially as herein rods 0 and R and the beam P, of the tank D, shown and described, and for the purpose set provided with a sleeve, G, for the pump-tube, forth. substantially as herein shown and described, and for the purpose set forth.
3. In a wardrobe shower-bath, the combination, with the pump-tube F, of the collar H,
