TOILET-CABINETS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 200,480, dated February 19, 1878 application led August 9, 1877.

To all whom it may concern: i

Be it known that I, GERONIMO RIVERA, of Bridgetown, in the Island of Barbadoes, West In dies, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet-Cabinets 5 and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference' being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this speciication.

My invention relates to improvements in toilet-cabinets, and is constructed to contain the following elements, viz: Closets on the top, containing shelves for toilet articles, &c. Between the saidclosets is located a tank containing water, which tank is provided, in its lower part, with a delivery pipe and faucet, by which the water can be drawn off at Even with the lower part of the aforesaid closets and tank lis a movable top, that can easily be removed, so as to get access to the delivery-pipe from the tank aforesaid. In front of the tank is hinged an adjustable looking-glass, having backward-projecting guides, by which the saidv glass can be secured and inclined in any desiredv position. At the ends of the cabinet are located sliding towel racks or bars, that are capable of being drawn out when required for use, and pushed in when not wanted for use. Below the movable top is located in bearings a sliding writing desk or table, that can be drawn out to be used for writing purposes or as a work-table. Below the writing-desk is arranged a sliding wash-stand, containing washbowl, soap-dishes, Sto., which wash-stand, when drawn out, is made to rest upon the upper edges of the* doors of the lower part of the cabinet.

These doors cover a receptacle containing towel or paper drawers, as well as a sliding chamber-stool, having hinged cover and legs or supports. The chamber-stool contains a removable chamber-bowl. The doors of the .lower part of the cabinet serve as guides and stops for the sliding chamber-stool, and also as arms or supporting side pieces for the latter. Below the aforesaid doors, in the lower part of the cabinet, is arranged a sliding shirt or slipper drawer. A pipe `having a stopvalve descends from the wash-bowl, by which the watercan easily be emptied from the washbowl into the stool-bowl beneath, the latter being for this purpose drawn out, so that the discharge-pipe from the wash-bowl comes directly over the bowl in the chamber-stool.

A flexible pipe can easily bel attached to the` delivery-pipe of the water-tank in the upper part of the cabinet when required for use as a fountain-syringe.

The whole forms a very compact and useful piece of furniture, combining in itself a toilet-cabinet adapted to a variety of novel and useful purposes. Y

On the accompanying drawings, Figure l represents a perspective view of my invention, and Fig. 2 represents a central longitudinal section of the same. l

Similar letters refer to similar parts wherever they occur on the different parts of the drawings.

GERONIMO RIVERA.
