EUGENE F. COLLINS, OF NORTH ANSON, MAINE.

WASH-STAN D.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 273,710, dated March 13, 1883.

V Application filed September 13, 1882. (No model.)

1' all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EUGENE F. OoLLINs, of North Anson, in the county of Somerset and State of Maine,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Wash-Stands; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertainsto make and use the same, reference being had to the accotnpanyingdrawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure l is a front elevation. Fig. 2 is a plan, part broken out, showing the bath-tub drawn out. Fig. 3 is a sectional elevation, with the position of the bath-tub when drawn out indicated.

Same letters show like parts.

The purpose of my invention is to provide a novel wash-stand and bath-tub combined, and also certain other conveniences of a washstand.

My invention consists in the combination of the different parts or elements herein described.

First, there is the wash-stand a, ofordinary construction, having the cock b to admit water from the water-supply.

c is a space occupied by a drawer for any convenient purposes.

fis a. door opening into a space wherein is a valve or cock, 9. This cock is so arranged as to turn outwardly when the bath-tub is to be filled, in the manner hereinafter to be described.

h shows the space in which the bathtub is placed, being on the front a panel, h, extending the whole length of the stand. Thispanel is capable of being drawn out immediately in front of the wash-stand, like as a drawer is drawn out of a bureau. The bath-tub has on its bottom casters or rollers, so that it moves easily out from under the stand. When thus drawn out the cockgis turned outwardly, and the water flows into the bath-tub till sutticient is obtained for bathing.

i is a tube, of rubber or other convenient material, to drain the bath-tub. This com mnnicates with the drain-tube of the wash-stand, and thus the waste water of the tub can be carried off in the same pipe as that of the wash-stand.

Thus I produce a combination of an uncovered or open -topped wash-stand having a drawer, the space for the cock 9, and a bottom compartment containing a removable bathtub. The front lower panel is, so to speak, a part of or the front face of the bath-tub, and when this is drawn out the tub comes outwith it on its casters, as before specified. This combination constitutes my invention, and will be found useful in single roomsas in hotels, for instance-where there is no space for a small additional room for a bath-tub, and where a tub is desirable.

When the tub has been used, the water is drained offand the panel or tub pushed back into place, and no room is occupied except such as is taken up by an ordinary wash-stand of fair dimensions.

What 1 claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, 1s

In the wash-stand a, in combination with the cock 9, inclosed in the spacef, as set forth, the bath-tub attached to the panel, as setforth, and drawn out and pushed in as described, and the tube i, the whole operating as specified.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
