THOMAS F. MCCULLOUGH, OF MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE.
DOUCHE-BENCH.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 692,061, dated January 28, 1902.
Application filed October 22, 1901. Serial No. 79,572. (No model.)
T all whom t nca/y concern:
Be it knownthat I, THOMAS F. MCCUL- LOUGH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Memphis, in the county of Shelby and State of Tennessee, have invented a new and Improved Douche-Bench, of which the following is a ful1,clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to certain novel features of structure and arrangement residing 1o in a bench for use by weinen in douching.
This specification is a specific description of one form of the invention, while the claims are definitions of the actual scope thereof.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification,
in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure lis a perspective View of the device. Fig. 2 is a bottom plan View of the device foldzo ed. Fig. 3 is a partial section of the end folded; and Fig. fi is a partial section of the saine part, showing a catch for holding the leaf folded.
The bench has a rigid rectangular frame a with foldinglegs b and c, having braces b and c, respectively, for holding them removably in extended position. The leg c at the head of the bench is pivoted intermediate its ends, so that when inoperative position its upper 3o end projects through and above the frame a, thus supporting in inclined position the leaf (l of the bench, which is hinged to the stationary top part e at its inner end. The leaf d projects beyond the head end of the frame when in operative position. The shorter upper end of the leg c is fitted with a hinged extension c2, which may, if desired, be thrown upward from its inclined position, in which it is shown in Fig. 1, so as to increase the in- 4o clination of the leaf d.
In the stationary top part e of the bench is formed `an opening er', against the walls of which the hips of the woman should in the use of the bench be made to bear, and at the side of this spring near the foot of the bench a branch opening@2 is formed to allow the unobstructed passage through the opening of liquid used in douching.
findicates a flexible funnel which is held i 5o on the bottom of the part e of the bench by means of a rigid ring f', attached to the mouth of the funnel and removably engaged by catches f2 on the bottom of said part e. This funnel leads the waste liquid from the bench down to a suitable receptacle, (not shown,) which should be placed under the bench. i
When thebench is notin use, the legs b and c should be swung up onto the frame a (see Fig. 2) and the leaf d folded down upon the stationary `top section e.
b2 and indicate catches foi-'holding the legs folded.
d indicates a catch for engaging the frame to hold the leaf folded. (See Fig. 4.)
g indicates foot-rests, which are fastened to carriers g', fitted to slide in a transverse casing ct, formed in the frame a at the foot end thereof, the foot-rests g sliding through openings in the end walls of said casing. The free end of the leaf d carries at its normally upper face two pins cl2, which when the leaf is folded, Fig. 3, pass through openings in the top section c and enter openings in the carriers C, these openings being so located that the pins will enter them when the carriers and foot-rests are moved in, asin Fig.
When the bench is folded, the foot-rests should be moved in outof the way, and they will be held by the device described. i In using the bench the parts should be adjusted as in Fig. 1, and the woman may then recline comfortably and in the best position for douching. The hips should rest in the opening e, the feet on the pins g, and the head and shoulders onthe inclined leaf (l.
When not in use, the bench maybe folded com pactly and stored away out of sight iu a comparatively small space.
Various changes in the form, proportions, and minor details of my invention may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention. Hence I- eonsider myself `entitled to all such variations as may lie within the scope of my clai'ms.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A bench, having a frame, an adjustable leaf, and a leg intermediately pivoted on the frame and arranged when in operative position to engage one end with the leaf to hold it raised.
2. A bench, having a frame, an adjustable IOO Ieaf,aleg intermediately pvoted on the frame l foot-rest held by the carrier, a leaf arranged and arranged when in operative lposition to to swing on the frame, and a member carried engage one end With theleaf to hold it raised, by the leaf and engaging' the carrier to hold and a hinged extension on said end ofthe the same immovable. 15 5 leg, for the purpose specified. ln testimony whereof I have signed my 3.
