SPECIFICATION fer'ining'pert er Letters Patent Ne. 658,084, dated september 18, ie.
Application filed January 11, 1900. Serial No. 1,085. f No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HOWARD L. GRIMMELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Buffalo, in the county of Erie and State of'New York, (post-oifice address No. 835 Auburn avenue, Buffalo, New York,). have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bath'- Tub Seats', of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
My invention relates to seats for batir-tubs, and more particularly to a removable seat which may be used in connection with any of the ordinary styles and sizes of bath-tubs.
My invention has for its object to provide a bath-tub seat which is simple in construction, durable, and free from metallic parts which tend to become corroded or rusted after a period of considerable use.
Referring to the drawings herewith, consisting of one sheet, in which like letters refer to like parts, Figure I is a sectional elevation showing my improved bath-tub seatA in place within a bath-tub. Fig. II is a plan view of my bath-tub seat. Fig. III is a side elevation of the same. Fig. IV is a vertical section, on an enlarged scale, showing the parts as hereinafter more fully described and taken on the line a; a: of Fig. II. Fig. V is a horizontal section, on an enlarged scale, taken on the line y y of Fig. III.
A represents an ordinary bath-tub having side walls slightly converging downward.
B represents the bath-tub seat, formed of a single plate,which is preferably made of wood, and which may be of any desired width or configuration.
O represents rubber lugs 4or cushioningcaps of U shape in transverse section, which embrace or take over and under the ends of the seat B, and which have longitudinal flanges D, by means of which the rubber lugs may be secured to the seat B, either by non corrosive metal stripsV or cleats, as may be preferred, the purpose of the portions D being to aiford` means of securing the rubber lugs O to the ends of the seat B.
Inasmuch as the U-shaped dimensions of the ordinary bath-tub have been, so to speak, standardized, the seat B may be made of the given length to lit almost all of the standard makes of tubs, thus avoiding any of the common and unsatisfactory extension ar rangements heretofore in use which present the objectionable qualities of corroding or re'- taining dirt and moisture.
The lugs O are preferably made with en larged cylindrical portions C', having projections or corrugations a, and located adjacenty Figs. IV and V, within the ends of the seat B, preferably by boring shallow holes into the `ends of the seat B, so that when the rubber lugs C are compressed they will be forced in wardly into the recesses b, and will thus prevent the lugs O from sliding or turning upon the ends of the seat B.
The corrugations ct may be made by producing longitudinal recesses within the cylindrical portions within the lugs O without departing `from the spirit of my invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim isl. A bathtub seat comprising a plate formed with rounded ends having recesses, and cushioning-caps covering the rounded ends. Y
2. A bath tub seat comprising a plate formed with rounded ends, and cushioningcaps formed with enlarged cylindrical portions at the corners of the plate and with flanges embracingA the rounded ends.
3. A bath tub seat comprising a plate' formed with recesses in the ends, and cushioning-caps covering the recesses and formed with enlarged cylindrical portions at the corners of the plate and with flanges embracing the ends of the plate.
In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 6th day of January, 1900.
