PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
A Combined Bath and Table.
We, WILLIAM RICHARD MARTIN of 22 Ferncliffe Road, Dalston, Engineer,
and WILLIAM HONYCHURCH of 119 Amhurst Road, Hackney, Accountant, both
of London, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows :—
This invention consists in combining an ordinary long bath, made of wrought or
cast iron, steel, earthenware, wood lined with metal or other substance, or of any
other material, with a table.
The table is constructed with a top which opens either by means of hinges or by
a sliding arrangement, or which can be lifted off and on, being held in position by
studs or pins, or in some other convenient way.
The frame of the table can be made of metal if desired, and if preferred it may
have an iron top also. The whole can be mounted on suitable castors.
A few inches from the floor, we construct a platform to receive the bath, and
this platform can be attached to the legs of the table. The space beneath the
platform serves to contain the waste water pipe, which can be connected by means
of an india rubber hose or flexible pipe to any suitable waste water pipe adapted
for the purpose of receiving the water.
Drawers can be fitted at one end of the table if preferred and the sides may be
wholly or partly enclosed with a curtain or wood casing.
Our combined bath and table can be kept in a nursery or kitchen, bed-room or
spare-room, and will be found a neat and convenient fixture for householders who
have no bath room.
