SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 379,538, dated March 13, 1888.
Application led May 14, 1887. Serial No. 238,220. (No model.)
provexnent in Privy-Seats, of which the following is aspecication'.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in privy-seats; and it consists in the peculiar combinations, and the construction and arrangement of parts, all as more fully hereinafter described and claimed.
Figure l is a perspective view, partially in section, showing our privyseat in the position it will be in when the party using it is seated. Fig. 2 is a similar view, showing the top cover open to expose the position of the seat and pan when the front portion of the seat is not pressed upon. Fig. 3 is a crosssection of the seat when the pan is closed.
In the drawings we have shown our iinprovement as it is constructed for the seats of ordinary privies. ln this construction A represents the ordinary tcp board or seat with its eXcrement-hole a.
B represents a frame fixed to the top of the seat A and surrounding three sides of the excrement-hole a.
C is the seal. which is pivoted at d, near its center, to the frame B, so that when its front portion is pressed down its back portion will rise. An apron, b, is attached to the l'ront of the seat C, and passes through a slot made in the seat A, so as to effectually close the space between the seat C and top board, A, and yet permit the free rocking motion of the seat C.
D is a pan connected to the arm E, which is pi voted on one side of the seat, as shown.
l is a rod connected at one end to the arm E, and at its other end to the bell-crank J. The other arm of the bell-crank J is connected, as shown, to the front portion of the seat C. On the back part ofthe seat C we place a weight, K, so that when the front portion of the seat C is not pressed upon it will, owing to the weight K, be held in the position indicated in Fig. 2-that is to say, the front of the seat is raised so as to hold the bell-crank J in the position indicated in Fig. 2, in which position the pan D will be held over the eXcrement-hole c.
The moment that the party about to use the seat presses upon the front of the seat C the bell-crank J will push down into the positionA indicated in Fig. l, in which position it will hold the pan D away from the eXcrement-hole a, as indicated in Fig. l. The moment that the pressure is removed from the front of the seat the weight K will cause the seat C to tilt on its pivot, and, owing to the connection described, the pan D willrbe instantly brought back into its initial position. When the front of the seat C is pressed down, its back portion will naturally move up, which action carries the linger F up against the back of the T- bracket h on the cover G, so as to tilt the cover forward to such au angle as will cause it to fall when not supported.
The frontportion of the head of the T- bracket h comes in Contact with the top of the finger F immediately the cover G is thrown forward,'so as to support the cover until thc rear portion of the seat C is caused to l'all down by the weight K. We consider the weightK the best medium for tilting the said seat C; but of course a spring might be substituted.
The advantages of our invention are so ob vious that it is not necessary to enumerate them in this specification. It will be sufficient to say that a privy having a seat provided with our attachment must necessarily be sweeter than a privy having a seat of the ordinary kind, as by our device the cesspool is always separate from the privy compartment, the pan always closing the excrementhole a when the privy-seat is not used.
That we claim as our invention is- A seat, C, pivoted at or near its center and having a finger, F, connected to it, in combination with the hinged cover G, having a T- headed bracket, h, attached to it in the path of said finger, substantially as and for the purpose specied.
