BATH-TUB HEAD-REST.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Dec. 6, 1910.
Application filed .Tune 10, 1910. Serial No. 566,231.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ABRAHAM HARRISON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Los Angeles, in the county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bath-Tub Head-Rests, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to head rests and particularly to an attachment for bath tubs whereby the bather may be permitted to rest easily in the water.
The object of the invention is the provision of a simple, cheaply constructed and efficient device of this character whereby the bather may support his head in a comfortable position and which will prevent the hair from getting wet and also support the body without muscular strain.
Further objects of the invention will appear as the following specific description is read in connection with the accompanying drawing which forms a part of this application, and in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective View of a portion of the tub showing my invention applied thereto. Fig. 2 is a similar view of the device removed from the tub.
Referring more especially to the drawing the specific device illustrated herein comprises a single piece of metal which has its opposite ends bent into tub rim engaging hooks l and 2 which lie over the arm of the tub and support the device in position to receive the bathers head. Immediately adjacent each hook the body is twisted into a spring loop 3 and the forward extension or continuation of this loop is formed into a U shaped loop 4 which forms the seat or head rest of the device. These loops A are connected together at their inner ends by the portion 5 which is also of loop formation and which is curved upwardly to conform with and fit the head of the bather. The outer ends of the loops 4 are also slightly elevated so that the intermediate portion between the springs 3 and the outer ends of the loops 4 forms a concave seat in which the head of the bather is adapted to rest, the in- 1' nor legs of the loops 4 and the connecting portion 5 being adapted to engage upon the sides of the head.
This device may be secured over the rim of the bath tub in any suitable position and may be used as follows to assist in exercising or in other words to support the body while exercising in the water. By grasping the outer sides of the loops 4, and thus taking the weight off the neck and head, the body and limbs may be exercised in any approved manner. For instance, corpulent persons adopting this method of exercising while in hot water will reduce in weight while similar exercises by slender persons in cool or cold water Wlll increase their muscular or adipose tissue. The device also permits relaxation of the muscles for massage while in the water, thus insuring comfort during hydropathic treatment. The springs and a portion of the hooks may be covered with rubber or other suitable cushioning material to prevent the device from scratching the tub as is cus tomary.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. A device of the class described comprising a single piece of material having its ends or terminals bent into supporting hooks and its intermediate portion constructed to form a series of loops for supporting a head, together with a resilient connection between the loops and hooks.
2. A devlce of the class described comprising a pair of hook members, a series of loops connected together and constructed to form a concave seat, and spring loops interconnecting the hooks and said loops.
3. A device of the character described comprising a pair of hooks, a head rest, and springs interconnecting the hooks and the head rest.
In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
A. HARRISON.
