To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM MOORE, a citizen of the United States, residing at the city of Cincinnati, in the county of I-Iamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Commode- Seats, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to produce a cheap, simple, and efficient seat for commodes, vessels, buckets, and the like used by children and in sick-rooms, which shall be convenient and satisfactory in use, which can be adapted and adjusted to commodes and vessels of varyin sizes and thicknesses, its contour being suc that the user can sit in a natural position.
My improved commode-seat has on its bottom side ribs, offsets, or the like,.which all meet at its forward end at a common point, forming a wall or abutment, so that no matter what the size of the vessel used the seat is always resting against or impinging the wall of the vessel and cannot slide or tilt forward. By this construction it can also be made thin and not be clumsy and unwieldly. The ribs on the bottom gradually become wider as they extend to the rear of said seat, being widest at the rear and also thickest at the rear, becoming thinner as they approach the By this means a more satisfactory and perfect fit can be made on the vessel to be used. The seat will always sit even and level and more satisfactorily adapt itself to the varying sizes of commodes and vessels used. Inasmuch as a great many of these vessels are made of stone or chinaware, they are uneven in shape and contour, not all being burned the same degree in the kiln, my seat on account of its peculiarly-shaped rib contour on its lower side readily adapting itself to these defects of size and shape. A perfectly annular rib or set of ribs .all being equidistant from the outer periphery or from the hole in the seat would not adapt themselves readily to these defects and varying sizes and if placed on a small vessel would be apt to tilt as the user bends forward and if put on a large vessel the lower rib would extend down far into the vessel, which would of course be objectionable. At the forward end of the seat I form an arch, and at the rear I provide a cut-away part for the purpose of insuring cleanliness. Myseat can be made smaller and still fit more vessels of varying sizes than a seat which is usually made thicker than the rest.
contains annular rin s or offsets which are of the same width t hroughout their whole periphery. These and other advantages will become apparent from the following description.
In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a view in elevation of a commode or vessel with my improved seat in position, the vessel and seat being partly broken away and in section to show the position assumed by. the seat when in use. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the seat looking down upon its upper side or top. Fig. 3 is a cross-section of the seat, and Fig.4 is a plan view of the seat looking at the under side or bottom of the seat.
The seat a consists of an annulus or ringshaped device forming a seat highest at its outer periphery and gently sloping, tapering, or inclining toward the hole I), where it is rounded off; (See particularly Fig. 3.) Of course this seat can made of any convenient shape or contour. At its forward end it has anarch c and under the arch c a cut-away part (1, making a convenient shape, so that the forward part of the seat can and will be kept clean. At its rear part seat a has a cut-away part 6. Thus a convenient shape is formed to keep the back part of the seat clean. Of course these shapes and cut-away parts can be formed of any other shape just as desired.
On the under side of the seat a I form ridges, ledges, ribs, or offsets h, m, n, t, and 'u). The rib w is the smallest of the series and It can be made small in breadth, if desired, as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 4,, so that the seat will be lighter. are widest or of full width in the rear part of the seat, getting smaller or rather less in width and at the same time smaller in diameter or thickness and finally diminishing to a line as they approach the forward part of the seat, as shown. It might be said that at the front of the seat the ribs finish in a feather-edge. The object of this is to form a solid wall at the forward part of the seat, so that the seat at its front will always abut or impinge against the vessel or chamber on which it rests. (See Fig. 1.) In that figure the seat is shown on a large-sized vessel, the outer rib h resting on the rear of the vessel. how the seat would appear on a smallersized vessel. It will be seen that here the rib These ridges or ribs The dotted lines in Fig. 1 show n rests on the rear part of the vessel; but the forward part of the seat retains the same position. It will thus be seen that my seat can be adapted to any sized vessel. These ribs on the under side of the seat may be made of any shape desired, and as many as desired may be used.
The seat may be made of wood, pulp, fiber, rubber, leatheroid, or any other desired material and may be made of layers lying in juxtaposition and glued or pinned together, or may be pressed out of one piece. It may be polished, stained, or veneered.
What I claim as new and of my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. In a commode-seat of the character described, formed of a ring-shaped seat, rings on the bottom of said seat, said rings being widest at the rear of the seat, and becoming less in Width as they approach the forward part of the seat, as and for the purposes set forth.
2. In a commode-seat of the character described, formed of a ring-shaped seat, rings on the bottom of said seat being thickest at the rear of the seat, graduallybecoming less in thickness as they approach the forward part of the seat, as and for the purposes-set forth.
3. In a commode-seat of the character described, formed of a ring-shaped seat, rings on the bottom of said seat, said rings being thickest at the rear of said seat, gradually becoming less in thickness as they approach the forward part of the seat, said rings being widest at the rear, gradually diminishing in width as they approach the forward part of the seat, as and for the purposes set forth.
4. In a commode-seat of the character described, adjustment-ribs on the under side of said seat, said rings all meeting in the same Vertical plane at the forward part of the seat to form an abutment for the seat, as and for the purposes set forth.
WILLIAM MOORE.
