PORTABLE BEDSIDE COMMODE STAND June 15, 1954 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Filed May 22, 1951 JCIQZhiZZi HQ INVENTOR,
ATTORNEYS,
Patented June 15, 1954 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 1 Claim.
This invention relates to bedside commode stands, and more particularly to bedside commode stands of the portable type.
The primary object of the invention is to provide a commode stand which may be readily and easily moved into place for supporting a commode for use by bedridden patients.
Another important object of the invention is to provide a bedside commode stand including telescoping sections, the outer section constituting a housing for the tray which slides into and out of the housing, the tray haying compartments for the reception of a bed pan or other articles necessary for the treatment and convenience of the patient.
A still further object of the invention is to provide a portable bedside commode stand which has adjustable features so that the main portion of the stand may be adjusted so that it will properly fit over mattresses of various heights.
Still another important object of the invention is to provide a roller supported stand on which the adjustable tray section is supported, the stand having an upper right angled end providing a handle by means of which the stand may be conveniently propelled from one location to another.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention consists of certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts, it being understood that changes may be made in the construction and arrangement of parts Without departing from the spirit of the invention as claimed.
Referring to the drawing,
Figure 1 is a side elevational view of a portable bedside commode stand, constructed in accordance with the invention and illustrating the device as positioned for use.
Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the body portion of the device with the adjustable tray section shown as contained in the housing or main section of the stand.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view illustrating the tray as extended from the housing section.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the second slidable tray section of the stand.
Fig. 5 is a longitudinal sectional view through the various sections of the stand.
Fig. 6 is a plan view thereof.
Fig. 7 is a sectional view taken on line l! of Fig. 6.
Fig. 8 is an enlarged sectional view through the housing and sections of the trays which slide into the housing.
Fig. 9 is a perspective view of the adjustable clamp for connecting the stand to a bed frame.
Referring to the drawings in detail, the device comprises the stand indicated generally by the reference character 5, the stand comprising the roller supported base 5 and the supporting post i rising from the base 6, the post i having its upper end extended at right angles providing the handle 8 by means of which the stand may be readily propelled from place to place.
The stand also includes the box-like body portion 9 provided with the tubular bracket [0 at one of its ends, the tubular bracket Ill being designed to receive the supporting post 1 to support the body portion 9.
The reference character It) indicates an adjustable collar mounted on the post 7 below the bracket ii) and provides a stop on which the bracket may rest temporarily as the body portion 9 is being lowered on the post 7. Set screw II is provided'for securing the collar H) to said post.
Directly under the collar Hl'is the adjustable clamp l 2 that is formed integral with the sleeve l 3, the clamp being designed for positioning over one edge of a bed frame, securing the base in its adjusted position on post 1.
Set screw M secures the sleeve in position.
The set screw II extends through the tubular bracket iii and contacts the post i to secure the body portion in its positions of vertical adjustment along the post 1, for purposes to be hereinafter more fully described.
The housing or body portion 9 comprises an upper compartment l2 and a lower compartment l3, the compartment I2 being provided with guideways l4 formed in the side walls thereof in which are positioned the ribs I5 that extend laterally from the upper adjustable tray support it so that the upper adjustable tray support may move freely within the upper compartment. This tray support I6 is provided with a dovetailshaped groove I1 disposed longitudinally in the upper surface thereof, in which the bar I8 slides, the bar it having beveled side edges to cooperate with the dovetail-shaped groove to properly support the tray member l6. At the outer end of the adjustable tray support and connected with the bar [8, is the shelf i9 which is in the form of a tray to hold various articles for the convenience of the person using the device.
The upper adjustable tray support is provided with a longitudinally disposed center slot 20 in which the pin 2| moves, the pin 2| being secured to the bar It and extended downwardly therefrom. Thus it will be seen that when the pin 21 reaches the inner end of the slot 20, outward movement of the bar together with its tray l9. will be stopped and the tray will be in the desired position for use.
In order that outward movement of the upper adjustable tray support It will be limited, the pin 22 is provided and extends downwardly therefrom, the pin moving in a slot 22 formed in the base of the upper compartment.
The forward end of the box-like body portion 9 is provided with an extension 23, the front end of the extension 23 being closed by the hinged closure 24 which under normalv conditions, remains closed to conceal the slidable support 25 when out of use.
The slidable support 25 comprises the main sliding section 26 formed with longitudinal ribs 2? that fit into grooves formed at the bases of the sides 28 of the body portion 9.
-The pin 29 extends upwardly from the bottom 30 of the body portion, the pin riding in the slot 3! formed in the main sliding section 26, the
.pin providing means to prevent accidental dismain sliding section 26, so that the supporting member 33 may slide freely with respect to the main sliding section 26.
The'slidable support 25 is formed with compartments 34 and 35 which are in the form of trays, the compartment 34 being primarily designed for supporting a bed pan such as indicated at 30, while the compartment 35 may be used in supporting various articles, such as a roll of tissue paper 3'3 and other needed articles.
As clearly shown by the drawings, the forward end of the slidable support 25 is inclined at 38 providing a ramp to assist the patient using the device in sliding into position over a bed pan positioned in compartment 34.
From the foregoing it will be seen that due to the construction shown and described, I have provided to stand which may be readily and easily adjusted for use with beds of various heights, the stand being so constructed and arranged that it may be slid over the mattress to support various types of hospital appliances.
It will further be seen that the device may be used as a bedside support for supporting various types of articles, for the convenience of the patient using the device.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is:
In a portable bedside stand, a mobile base, a post rising from the base, a vertically adjustable box-like body portion mounted on said post, said box-like body portion having a compartment having grooves formed in the walls-thereof, a supporting member operating in the compartment, ribs formed on the supporting member operating in said grooves, said supporting member having a compartment providing a receptacle support, the forward end of one of the supporting members being inclined providing a ramp, and said supporting member adapted to be extended into said box-like body portion completely housing said supporting member. 7
