SITZ BATH STOOL. OR CHAIR Filed Jan. 20, 1955 2 Shets-Sheet 2 United States Patent SITZ BATH STOOL 0R CHAIR Jeanne Root, Los Angeles, Calif. Application January 20, 1955, Serial No. 483,025
4 Claims. (Cl. 4-6) My invention covers the improvement of a stool for holding a sitz bath pan and comprises the addition of a back rest to provide comfort for the patient and to prevent the patient from falling backwards and also to provide additional supporting members or legs to the stool in order to make the stool safer.
The details of my invention are shown on the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 is a side view of the existing stool with my improvement shown thereon.
Fig 2 is a rear view of the same.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the stool or chair .shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the stool in a partly collapsed position.
Fig. 1 shows an existing stool 11 having legs 12 and 13 supporting a more or less elliptical ring 14 for the purpose of supporting the sitz bath basin 15. My .improvement comprises the addition of a back rest 16 consisting of the addition of a formed metallic back member having substantially upright members 17 and a curved back rest piece 18. This back rest 16 may be attached to the existing stool legs 12 by means of rivets 19, or by welding on the legs 12 and the upright back member 17 may be of one continuous piece.
My improvement also consists of the addition of additional supporting legs 20 consisting of a formed metallic leg member 21 which is pivotally attached to the supporting ring 14 and the existing legs 12 by means of a bolt or pin 22. In addition to the leg member 21 a brace 23 is pivotally attached to the legs 13 and the legs 21 by bolts or pins 24 and 25.
I claim:
1. A sitz bath stool comprising an elliptical supporting ring adapted to support a flanged sitz bath basin, said ring being formed of half-elliptical rings held together by a pair of pivots on the short diametrical axis of said ring; two pairs of pivoted crossed-leg supports attached to said supporting ring, the upper ends of said four leg supports being pivotally fastened to said ring respectively on either side of said ring pivots; a pair of anti-tipping legs pivotally attached on either side of said ring at the rear pivot point for attachment of said crossed-leg supports; a cross connecting member between said antitipping legs; and a link brace pivotally connecting each of said anti-tip legs to the lower end of the contiguous cross-leg support.
2. The sitz bath stool as defined in claim 1, in which an inverted U back-supporting frame is attached by its legs to the upper portion of each of the forwardly extending members of said cross-leg supports.
3. A sitz bath stool comprising an elliptical supporting ring adapted to support a flanged sitz bath basin, said ring being formed of half-elliptical rings pivoted together on the short diametrical axis; two pairs of pivoted crossed-leg supports attached to said supporting ring, the upper ends of said four leg supports being pivotally fastened to said ring respectively at front and rear intermediate positions on both long sides of said elliptical ring; a pair of antitipping legs pivotally attached on either side of said ring at the rear pivot point for attachment of said crossed-leg supports; a connecting member between said anti-tipping legs; and a link brace pivotally connecting each of said anti-tip legs to the lower end of the contiguous cross-leg support; said anti-tipping legs being disposed parallel to the rearwardly extending members of said crossed-leg supports; a connecting member between said anti-tipping legs; and a link brace pivotally connecting each of said anti-tip legs to the lower end of the contiguous cross-leg support, said link braces being disposed parallel to said forwardly extending members of said crossed-legs support, whereby said structure may be collapsed together when said half-elliptical rings are folded together on their pivoted connection.
4. The sitz bath stool as defined in claim 3 in which an inverted U back-supporting frame is attached by its legs to the upper portion of each of the forwardly extending members of said crossed-leg supports.
