DRY CLOSET.
SPECIFICATIGN forming part of Letters Eatent No. 340,805, dated April 2",, 1886.
Application filed June 4, 1855. Serial No. 167,600. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEoRo-E F. MCMURRY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Eureka Springs, in the county of Carroll and State of Arkansas, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Dry Closets, of which the following is adescription.
This invention is an improvement in dry closets or commodes; and it consists in certain novel constructions and combinations of parts, as will be hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1. is a side view of my commode. Fig. 2 is a vertical section thereof on a line drawn through the urinereceivcr and the disiniectant-chamber. Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the body on a line at right angles to that on which Fig. 2 is cut, and Fig. 4 is a detail plan view of the disinfectaut-chamber with the cover raised.
The body A is formed of suitable metal, and is made in the conical shape shown, so as to provide ample space in its lower end for the excrement and facilitate the deposit of disinfectant thereon. The upper open end of the body is formed or provided with an inwardly-projected concaved flange, a, to serve as a seat. This flan go is usually provided with a rubber, a, or other suitable cover, which serves as a cushion when the device is in use, and as a packing to prevent the exit of odors when the cover B is applied. The bottom G has a rim-flange, c, which projects up outside the body, and said bottom is secured to the body by hooks I), engaging eyes (I, as will be seen. .I also provide the bottom with an upwardly-proiecting flange, U, which extends within and close to the sides of the body A, and thus prevents the excrement from coming in contact with the body; also, by pouring water in the space between the inner and outer flanges, c c, a water seal may be provided, whereby to prevent odors escaping at the lower end of the device. In winter spirits may be used instead of water. The bottom may be made of pottery, stone, or earthenware, instead of metal. By the flaring shape of the body excrement deposited thereinto will drop onto the bottom and not touch the sides, and the bottom will consequently be the only part to clean. This flaring of the body also serves to provide a broader base on which to rest the body.
To the body, near its upper end, I fix the disinfeetant-chamber E,which is provided with a tightly-fitting cover, e, and communicates near its bottom with the body through the wide opening 0.
\Vithin the chamber E, close above the opening 0, I arrange a partition, E, through which, near-its inner edge, I form an opening, 6 The discharger F is located and operates below the partition 1*), and has a vertical wing, f, and a horizontal receiving plate, f, extended inwardly from the lower end of the wingf. This discharger is also provided with an outwardly-projected stem-handle, J", on which I place a coil-spring, g, which holds the discharger out normally with the wingf in front of, and the plate f below, the opening e.
In operation a portion of the disinfectant passes through opening 6* onto plate f. \Vhen excrement is deposited in the body, the user, by pressing on stemfflwill, by wingf, throw the disinfectant onto the excrement, as will be seen. By contracting the body near its upper end the disinfectant may be arranged more nearly over the bottom, and a better distribution of the disinfectant will be secured. The vertical wingf serves to give the disinfeetant a throwiuto the body, as will be seen.
The body A is usually provided with a suit able ball, a by which it maybe conveniently carried.
On the side of the body A opposite the chamber E, I secure the urine-receiver H, which is preferably formed on one side to fit snugly against the body A. This receiver is attached to the body by hooks h, engaging eyes 71. on such body, and has asuitable tightly-fitting cover,h and a bail, h, by which it may be carried when detached from the body.
The urinal I is made in the segmental shape shown, so it will only project partially under the opening in the upper end of the body and receive the urine, while the excrement will pass into the bottom. The object in thus separating the urine and the excrement is, that thereby decomposition does not take place so rapidly, the excrement will dry out sooner, and may be more thoroughly and effectually deodorized by the disinfectant. I support this urinal by a lug, i, projected inwardly from the 1. A dry closet comprising a bottomless body, and the outer wall or edge of said urinal body, an imperforate base-piece or bottom fits up under the inwardly-inclined flange a, so such urinal may be conveniently removed when desired. The urinal inclines toward one end, at which it has a discharge-pipe, i, which passes into a discharge-opening, i, in the side of the body. The outer end of this opening is surrounded by a threaded or other suitable nipple, 1' to which is attached the pipe J, which connects the body with the urine-receiver. I prefer to connect the pipe J with the urinereceiver through the lid of the latter, as thereby the urine passes directly into the receiver, and does not back up into the pipe, as would be the case when the receiver was partially filled, if the attachment were made at one side of the vessel.
It will be noticed that the urinal, urine-receiver, and bottom can be conveniently detached for the purpose of emptying and cleansing such parts. The joints between the pipe J and the body and the urine -receiver are made airtight by suitable packingrings.
In manufacturing my device I propose to construct it of strong tin, sheet-iron, or zinc, so it will be light and may be conveniently carried from room to room.
The invention will be found particularly useful in hospitals, prisons, and private dwellings.
For convenience I fix a hook or hooks, K, to
. the body A, on which papeamay be secured.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new is having a seat for the body, and provided with an annular flange extended upward within said body, forming a protector, and fastenings whereby said body and bottom maybe detachably connected, substantially as set forth.
2. In a commode, the combination, with the body provided with an in wardly-proj ected and downwardly-inclined flange, a, and a lug, 2', arranged in said body below said flange, of the segmental urinal rested on the lug i, and having its rear wall fitted up under the flange a, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination, with the body and the chamber E, communicating with the body A through an opening, a, and having a partition, E, provided with an opening, 6 of the discharger F, located below said partition E, and having a vertical wing, f, and a receivingplate, f, substantially as set forth.
4. In a dry closet, the combination of the imperforate basepiece or bottom, the bottomless body seated at its lower end on the bottom, and the flanges c 0, secured to the bottom and projected upwardly above and on opposite sides of the lower edge of the body, the flange a being extended to form a protector, substantially as set forth.
GEORGE F. MoMURRY.
