THEODORE II. SOHOTTENBERG, OF HUBBARD, OHIO.
COMBINED CHIFFONNIER AND BATH-TUB.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 623,836, dated April 25, 1899.
Application filed July 1,1898. Serial No. 684,986. (No model.)
To all whmn it may concern:
Be it known that I, THEODORE H. Sonor- TENBERG, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hubbard, in the county of Trumbull and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulImprovementsin a Combined Chiffonnier and Bath-Tub, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
My invention relates to household furniture, and is substantiallya combined chiffonnier and bath-tub, the latter when not in use folding up in such a manner as to appear to be a part of the chiffonnier.
I will first fully describe my invention with relation to the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the invention as folded up. Fig. 2 is a perspective View, partly broken away, showing the tub turned down in position for use. Fig. 3 is a partial vertical section on the line 3 3, and Fig. 4 is a horizontal section on the line 4 4.
In the several views the same numeral always indicates the same part.
1 represents the frame of the chifionnier, in which are the drawers 2, the doors 3, and at the top the mirror 4, mounted on pivots 5. At the bottom of the frame is located the molding 6. A heavy hinge 7 pivotally connects the chiffonnier with vertical brackets 8, in which is pivoted the bath-tub boX 9 on the pin or bolt 10, provided with a coil-spring 11, adapted to press upward upon the tub-box and act as a counterpoise to the same when lowered, this making the raising of the tubbox to its normal position avery easy matter.
To support the tub-box when lowered into position to be used as a bath, 1 have provided a hinged foot 12, which folds back out of the way when the box is lifted up.
\Vithin the tub-box 9 is secured the sheetmetal tub 13, stiffened and supported by the series of metallic bands 14, in which it is cradled. p
The mirror 4is pivoted at 5 within the mirror-frame 15, and, as disclosed in Fig. 3, the tub construction necessitates the pivots of this mirror to be below the center, for which reason the mirror has a tendency to tip forward. I have therefore provided a crosspiece 16 for the frame 15, with a mid-hole 17 rounded out from either side. To the back of the mirror I have secured the waved-wire fork 18, of sufficient resilience that the waves engage the edges of the hole 17 and support the mirror at any desired angle. This wire 18 is bent upon itself at its center and is secured at its bend to the back of the mirror, sothat'its members have a tendency to separate, owing to their resiliency, to engage the walls of the hole 17. By pressing the ends of the wire together they are disengaged from the cross-piece 16 to permit the mirror to be adjusted and automatically reengage the cross-piece when released to hold the mirror at its adjusted position.
The brackets 8 have at their bottom a connecting-fioor 19, upon which may be set a pail or other vessel to receive the waste water from the hole common to bath-tubs.
In Fig. 4will be noted the economy of room in the construction, whereby the drawers of the chiffonnier project considerably into the tub when the latter is raised or folded up.
Having thus fully described the details of my invention and indicated its operation thereby, what I desire to secure by my Letters Patent and to claim is 1. The combination with a supporting-frame, and drawers arranged therein, of a frame comprising brackets and a connecting -board, hinged at one side to the supporting-frame, and a bath tub pivotally secured to said brackets.
2. The combination with a chiffonnier, of a frame comprising brackets and a connectingbase, hinged to one side of the chiffonnier, and a bath-tub pivotally secured between said brackets, said tub normally inclosing the rear part of the chiffonnier, but adapted to be turned laterally, and then downwardly into position for use.
3. In a combined bath-tub and chiffonnier, the combination with the supporting-frame and drawers of the chifionnier, of brackets connectedtogether, and hinged at one side to the base of the frame, and a bath-tub pivotally supported between said brackets, and normally covering the back of the chiifonnier, said brackets being adapted to be swung laterally to permit the tub to be turned down upon its pivotal support.
4. In a combined chiffonnicr and bath-tub,
the combination with the frame and drawers of the chiffon nier,of vertically-disposed brackets connected by a base-board, one of said brackets beinghinged to the side of the chiffonnier, and a bath-tub pivotally secured between said brackets and normally resting on one of its ends and adapted, after the brackets have been swung laterally, to be turned down in position for use.
5. In a combined chiffonnier and bath-tub, the combination with the frame and drawers of the ehiffonnier, of a swinging frame comprising parallel brackets and a connecting board, a bath-tub pivotally secured between said brackets by a spring-controlled shaft, extending transversely of the tub, and a rest or support for the upper end of the tub, when the tub is turned down for use.
(i. In a combined chiffonnier and bath-tub, the combination with the frame and drawers. of parallel brackets one of which is hinged to the frame, a board connecting said brackets, a bath-tub pivotally secured between said brackets, and adapted to eneom pass the drawers and form the back of the chillfonnier.
7. In a combined chiffonnier and bath-tub, the combination with the drawers and tub, the latter being adapted to fold up to form the back of the chilfonnier, of a mirror pivoted below its vertical center, a cross-bar in rear of said mirror formed with an opening and a resilient wire bent upon itself and secured to the back of the mirror, formed with bends or waves to engage the walls of the opening in the cross-bar.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
THEODORE ll. SCllO'lTllNlllllltl.
