COMBINED HOT-AIR CABINET AND SCREEN.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 546,865, dated September 24, 1895.-
Application filed October 6, 1894. Serial No. 626 ,088- (N 0 model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES M. ROBINSON, of Toledo, county of Lucas, and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Im provements in a Combined Hot-Air Cabinet and Screen and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the figures of reference marked thereon, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to a combined hot-air cabinet and screen, the cabinet being more specially adapted for use in taking or administering hot-air or vapor baths.
The invention consists of a cabinet comprising a plurality of independent sections, upon which is secured an impervious flexible covering, which serves to sustain the thermal conditions desired, and also with each alternate joint of the sections subserves the purposes of a hinge.
The invention further relates to a plurality of sections having an impervious flexible covering of a width to extend above the height of the sections and in horizontal juxtaposition to form a top closure around the neck of the patient to retain the medicated caloric conditions desired of the bath.
The invention consists in the parts as shown, described, and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the device when closed to form acabinet. Fig. 2 is a like view, showing the device arranged to form a screen. Fig. 3 is a similar view to Fig. 2, showing the rear side of the screen. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the cabinet folded ready to pack or ship.
1 designates the sections, four being shown, to form a square cabinet, although I wish it understood that as many sections can be used as desired and that the shape can be changed without departing from the spirit of my invention. Each side of each section is formed at an angle, as shown at 2, preferably formed by cutting a square post diagonally, so that when the sections are assembled, as shown in Fig. l, to form a cabinet the corners match and presentaneat appearance. The sections are formed of a framework, upon which is secured a covering 3, preferablyof rubber, the covering forming the hinge or connection between the two end pieces and the central pieces, the central pieces being secured together by hinges 4 and fold inwardly, while the two end sect-ions fold outwardly, due to the angled portion 2 of the sections, thereby allowing the cabinet to be folded up in a small space, as shown in Fig. 4:, or as a screen, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3.
5 designates overlapping flaps, which are preferably a part of the covering 3, each alternate flap being provided with an elongated opening 6, the remainder with fasteners 7. 8 designates a hook upon the inside of one end section, and 9 designates an eye upon the opposite end section.
In operation the patient first fixes the chairlamp and solution to be used, and when ready for the bath pulls the cabinet around him, fastening the same by the hooks 8. The flaps are then fastened together, as shown in Fig. 1, the head protruding through the opening 10, whereby only the body is subjected to the bath. The head being outside the cabinet, only the air of the room is breathed. To use as a screen, the flaps are thrown back, as shown in Fig. 3, and the screen set in any desired position. It will thus be seen that I have provided a combined cabinet and screen which is cheap of construction, easy to manipulate, and efficient in use.
What I claim is- 1. In a combined hot air cabinet and screen, a plurality of frames or sections united alternately in hinged relation by a continuous cover of flexible impervious fabric material, the alternate hinge joints being formed by said covering, and the remaining joint being provided with independent hinges, whereby the sections may be conveniently folded alternately in opposite directions.
2. In a combined hot air cabinet and screen, a plurality of frames having a covering of a flexible impervious fabric material uniting them and acting as hinges of a width to extend above the frames and form a top closure when the sections are arranged to form an inclosure, substantially as described.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I hereby aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CHARLES M. ROBINSON.
