GLOSET+SEAT WARMER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed April 6, 1908. Serial N0. 425,510.

Patented July 27, 1909.

1'0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD Oanssn, citizen of the United States, residing at West Cape May, in the county of Cape May and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Closet-Seat Warmers, of which the following is a specification.

The discomfort and shock commonly experienced by using toilet seats in cold weather as lead to the present invention which besides roviding means for warming the closet seat a so subserves the purpose of an econom ical appliance for warming the toilet room and reventing frost from injuring the pipes or c oset fixtures.

The invention is in the nature of an attachment and is adapted to be placed upon the bowl beneath the accustomed seat so as to warm the latter, the heat radiated also warming the atmosphere of the toilet and preventing the chill so objectionable in tollets not provided with heatmg apparatus.

The invention consists of a hollow body approximating the outline of the closet bowl for which intended so as to obtain a snug fit and preventdetractin from the appearance thereof or causing the xture -to appear bulky and unsightly, sai'd hollow body being adapted to have a heating medium circulate thereitlllrough, such as steam, hot water, air or the For a full understanding of the invention and the merits thereof and also to acquire a knowledge of the details of construction and the means for effecting the result, reference is to be had to the following description and accom anying drawings.

Whi e the invention may be adapted to different forms and conditions by changes in the structure and minor details without departing from the spirit or essential features thereof, still the preferred embodiment is shown in the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the invention applied showing it in circuit with the usual domestic boiler coupled to the cook range, parts being broken away to show more clearly the relative arrangement of the seat, heater and cover. Fig. 2 is a detailed v ew of the attachment. Fig. 3 is a sectlonal view showing more clearly the partitlon and the inlet and outlet. F1 4 is a sectional new of a portion of the owl, heater, seat and cover, showing their relation.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters. I

The attachment 1 is hollow and may be cast, stamped or constructed in any manner either of metal or other suitable material, the size and outline de ending upon the special design and make 0 closet for which the device is intended. a

V It is to be understood that thedevice may be circular, oval or other outline in plan view so as to conform approximately to the shape of the closet bowl-to obtain a neat fit and not be noticeable. A The attachment is preferably placed upon the rim of the bowl as indicated in Fig. 1 and is stationary, thereby preventing leaky joints which would result if it were movable or coupled so as to swing with the usual seat.

In transverse section the attachment is of flattened form and is provided at a point with the partition 2 the purpose being to separate the mlet and the outlet so that the heating medium is compelled to circulate through the entire length of the device and thereby obtain the best results. Coupling ends 3 and 4 are located upon oppositesides of the partition 2 one constituting the inlet the other the outlet. The pipe 5 through which the heating medium, such as hot water, steam, air or the like is circulated is connected to the coupling ends inany manner so as to cause the heating medium to circulate through the device 1 which latter acts as a radiator to both warm the closet seat and the toilet room." The cou ling ends may be conveniently positioned according to the design of the attachment and the special make of closet bowl or like toilet fixture with which the attachment is intended to be used.

The attachment 1 is so arranged as not to interfere with the usual seat 6 and cover 7 which may be mounted to be turned up out of the way to admit of access being readily had to the bowl or fixture in the usual manner. By having the attachment fixed leaky joints are overcome and by having the same 1n circuit waste of the heating medium is prevented and economy in the utilization of. the same results. 1 It is to be understood that the attachment may be in circuit with a hot water or a steam heating system for a building or structure which is equipped with the same and should thedwelling not be heated "by either the attachment may be in circuit with a domestic boiler as indicated in Fig. l,

the pipe 5 leading from the boiler and cou-.

filed to the attachment in the manner of a ra- 'ator included in a steam or hot watersuppl gpipe.

mm the foregolng 1t Wlll be understood 1 that the attachment adds materially to the comfort of the toilet and insures a warm In combination with a closet bowl or like 1 fixture, a stationary'attachment consistin of an inner partition dividing the space and provided upon opposite sides of the partition with coupling ends, and a pipe fitted to the said coupling ends and adapted to have the heating medium circulating therethrough and through the said attachment.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
