JOHN CLERKE, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
COMMODE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 48] ,255, dated August 23, 1892.
Application filed September 3, 1891. Serial No. 404,626. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN W. CLERKE, of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Commodes; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to improvements in commodes; and it consists in a comfortable seat that can be readily removed from the commode without necessitating the removal of the cover of the latter.
My invention consists, also, in certain features of construction and in combination of parts, hereinafter described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation, partly in section, of a commode embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the seat detached.
A represents the body of the commode, the same comprising an ordinary pail or bucket of an inverted conical form and having a bail, as at A. I
B represents the commode-cover, the same being made to nicely fit inside the pail of the commode. CoverB has centrally and detachably secured thereto, usually by means of bolts, as at b, a depending cup C, and the space inclosed by the latter and cover B constitutes the disinfectant-chamber.
Centrally located in the bottom of cup C is an opening, preferably conical, adapted to be closed by a corresponding valve D of rubber or similar material. Valve D is tightly but movably mounted on a stem CZ and held in place from slipping off the stem by a nut d', the stem being screw-threaded at this end for receiving the nut. Stem d extends upward through cover B and its end outside the cover terminates in a button d2. Tightly but movably mounted on stem d and next outside the cover is a disk or washer d3 of rubber or similar material. Disk d3 is preferably of an inverted conical shape. Stern d has also mounted thereon a suitable spring, as at d4, that is confined between disk d3 and button d2, spring d4 being adapted to hold disk or washer d3 iirmly against its seat. The disinfectantchamber, being charged with the disinfectant,
a downward pressure on button d2 will depress stem d and open valve D, permitting a discharge of the desired quantity of the disinfectant. Spring d4, having been compressed by the downward pressure on stem cl,.will instantly upon the removal of such pressure actuate stem d to close valve D and hold the latter firmly to its seat.
Cup C may be provided with a nozzle (not shown) for replenishing the disinfectantchamber; but with the construction shown said chamber can readily be replenished by removing nut d and valve D from stem d, holding cover B with the disinfectant-chamber bottom upward and partly withdrawing stem d, of course pressing washer or disk d3 against its seat with the ingers, and it will be observed that with the construction aforesaid the device is equally adapted forapowder and liquid disinfectant.
For holding stem d in alignment with the discharge-opening of the disinfectant-cham- -ber when the stem has been withdrawn from the openin g-as, for instance, in replenishing the disinfectant-chamber-a cross or guide piece, as at E,supported in any suitable manner, should be provided, the same being located usually about midway of the disinfectant-chamber and perforated, as at e, for the passage ofI stem d. Member E is preferably semi-tubular or semi-cylindrical in cross-section to prevent lodgment of disinfectant.
By means of the detachable feature of cup C convenient access can be had to the disinfectant-chamber for cleaning and repairs. Cup C, being constantly in contact with the disinfectant, on account ofthe corrosive action of the latter will likely have to be renewed several times during the lifetime of the commode, wherefore it is also quite important to have the cup C detachable.
F represents an annular rim of any suitable material supported, as shown, by the body of the commode and adapted to be applied to and removed from the commode without necessitating the removal of the commode-cover. Rim F should be such size that when applied to the commode it will project a trilie above the upper edge of the body of the commode, so as to constitute a comfortable seat for the occupant.
I would here remark that the individual IOO relnovability of the seat F is a matter of concover and adapted to pass over the latter and Sider-able importance, for its permits of the rest on the tapering exterior of the receptaready conversion of the device into a slopcle, substantially as set forth.
