page_text: I THOMAS MARNS of 20 Western Hill, Sunderland in the county of Durham,
Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the
same is to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
-
This invention relates to the construction of a combined looking glass, toilet box,
and appurtenances and consists in pivotting a looking glass upon two brackets
projecting from a back plate adapted to hang against a wall or otherwise, and upon
which also one or more shelves, hooks or other useful adjuncts may be fixed. The
glass may be pivotted loosely to swing and provided with means of fixing it at any
desired angle.
In the space behind the glass and between the said brackets a receptacle is
provided, for toilet requisites which may be provided with a lid.
The invention is particularly adapted to use on board ship or where space is
limited.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which
Figures 1 and 2 represent front elevations of the combined looking glass and toilet
box respectively standing horizontally and hung vertically, the glass and its frame
being shown dotted; and Figures 3 and 4 are cross sections on line y z. of
Figures 1 and 2.
a is the looking glass mounted in a frame a' with back board of usual construction;
the frame is pivotted at bb upon two brackets bb projecting from the stand or back
plate c. d is a hollow of convenient size formed in the stand and occupying the
space between the brackets 66 behind the glass.
This receptacle serves as a toilet box and is provided with a hinged lid d¹ whose
outer side d² is also hinged so that when the glass is standing horizontally as in
figures 1 and 3 the lid d' when shut covers the box d, and when open serves as a back
to the box; but when the stand is hung as in figures 2 and 4 the lid d¹ forms the
base of the toilet box, and the hinged part d² the front side, and the brackets b¹ b¹ the
two ends thereof; stops d³ are or may be provided to keep the part d² vertical and
clear of the glass. Additional shelves or hooks such as 62 may be added if desired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is :-
A combined looking glass, toilet box, and appurtenances so constructed and
arranged that the toilet box is equally available whether the stand of the glass be
placed horizontally or hung vertically substantially in the manner herein before
described and illustrated by the drawings.
