WASHlNG-DOUCHE AND BATH CONTRIVANCE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent l Vo. 513,173, dated January 23, 1894.

Application filed February 2'7, 1893- Serial No. 463,918. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, THEODOR EMIL MAXI- MILIAN Bi'lLOW, of 37 Neuer Wall, Hamburg, in the Empire of Germany, have invented a new and Improved Combination Washing- Douche and Bath Contrivance, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad therein to the accompanying drawings.

This invention relates to bath closets, or the like which, by reason of their triangular square or round form in plan, require only a small space for erection and, by means of the fixing of a lighting shaft thereto, may be also adapted for placing in dark rooms.

The drawings hereto annexed represent a closet of triangular form.

Figure 1 is a front View of the closet closed. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same, and Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section.

The door a b c d hangs upon the hinges ef and has a second door 9 h t' is turning upon the horizontal hinges m n and'fastened in such manner with strips of flexible watertight material to the door ab ed that the turning of the former to a small angle with the door ab 0 d is permitted (as in Fig. 3) and thus light can be admitted to the interior of the closet. The latter serves at the same time to shut in the person bathing from the outside and aifords a protection against drafts, &c.-while the opening formed by g 71. Ho as shown in Fig. 2 admits light without permitting any escape of water from the interior. Upon the inside of the door g hi k, a flap seat as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2 may be room, a lamp is placed at a suitable distance from the lighting door g h 'HC and the interior of the closet is thus lighted.

What Iclaim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

A combination washing douche and bathing closet or contrivance consisting of an inclosing chamber of any suitable shape, amain door to gain access thereto, a hinged flap within said closet or contrivance, a subsidiary door hinged to or mounted on said main door and adapted to turn on its lower edge and to open outward at its top edge and provided with suitable water-tight material down each vertical side, and a flap seat secured to said subsidiary door, all substantially as shown and described.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two witnesses.
