WATER-oLoserv MAT OR TOILET-PROTECTOR.
SPECIFICATION forming. part of Letters Patent No. 349,784, dated September 28, 1886.
' Application filed June 7, 1886. Serial No. 204,408. (No model.)
spread out upon the seat, for use upon the same to prevent contact of the person with the seat, and also to obviate chilliness, the formation thereof being as hereinafter described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a plan view of the mat spread out, and Fig. 2 is a section of the same applied to a water-closet seat.
A represents the mat, formed of any suitable material, but more especially and preferabl y of medicated paper. Vulcanized cloth or flannel with a water-proof backing are also suitable. Centrally is arranged a single row of perforalions, di, in elliptical form corresponding with the usual hole in the water-closet seat,
and this portion of the mat encircled by the -perforations may be readily torn away, following the curved line of the perl'orations, when required for use. When made especially for gentlemen, a portion, B, is left as a guard to be bent downinto the hole or basin, as shown in Fig. 2, to prevent contact of the genital organs with the seat or bowl beneath. Inside of the elliptical row of perforations a row of perforations is made lengthwise the ellipse, and another crosswise the same, as shown at b, Fig. 1. These rows of perforations facilitate the folding of the mat, so that it may be carried about as readily and con-- venientl y as apocket-handkerchief in Vthe pocket or reticuie. They answer as a crease in that respect, and when requisite for use, after the field of the ellipse is removed, admit of the saine being parted into four parts for use as toilet-paper for the usual purpose of cleanliness with respect to the rectum, &c.
The mat is square, or it may form a parallelogram; but a circle or elliptical shape for the portion outside the central ellipse would be objectionable, as that would constitute it a ring after the removal of the cent-ral field, and a ring of paper especially would not keep its proper position upon the water-closet seat or remain properly dat or keep to the hole in the seat, even it never folded, but after it has been folded the difficulties attending a circular form are greatly increased, therefore I make it of the shape shown, as the angles and spread consequent upon such shape cause and enable the mat to spread flat upon the seat,also to keep flat without crinkle and to keep its position with respect to the hole in t-he seat. It is also more conveniently folded and carried when of the shape shown. Thevcentral cross of perforations is also essential in folding; and further, it is necessary to the ready and perfect separation of the removed portion to enable it to be used as toilet-paper, as the nature of the thin medicated paper is such that it will not tear straight, but becomes useless unless perforated ,for separation, emphatically waste paper and :not useful toilet-paper.
It is well known to the medical profession and elsewhere that women are frequently seriously injured, and often suffer great pain, from sitting upon anything cold, which chilling the organs of maternity bring on troublesome complaints, especially during the menstrual period. This mat forms an effectual toilet-protector, convenient-ly carried about, and always ready for use, constructed of material warm in its nature, preventing direetf contact. of the person with the closet-seat, obviating all risk of chilliness. It also prevents dissemination of infectious diseases.
Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
1. A portable Water-closet mat rectilinear in shape providedcentrally with asingle row of perforations in curved line forming an ellipse, the field of which is divided into four parts by a lengthwise and crosswise row of perforations, essentially as shown Aand described.
2. The water-closet mat A, of medicated paper, provided centrally with a single row of perforations, c, arranged'in curved line forming an ellipse, at one end of said ellipse the said curved line of perforatious re-entering the ellipse to form ythe portion B, and the field inclosed within the aforesaid perforations a divided into four parts by the cross-lines of perforations b, as shown and described.
