TOILET ACCESSORY.

Application filed March 20, 1924. Serial No. 700,534.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARGARET ELIZABETH DAVIDSON, a subject of the King of Great Britain, residing in the city of Toronto,

county of York, Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toilet Accessories, of

which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in toilet accessories, and the object of the invention is to design a device, demountable in character, which will permit a person to carry back and forth from the bathroom various toilet articles required, and will also provide a. stand on which to hang said articles, such as tooth brushes and washcloths, to permit the same to dry after use, and in the following specification I shall describe my invention, and what I claim as new will be set forth in the claims forming part of this specification.

Fig. 1 is a perspective view of my toilet accessory. Fig. 2 is a vertical cross section on the line 2-2, Fig. 1, and Fig. 3 is a 25 perspective view of one of the end supports.

In the drawings, like characters of ref erence refer to the same parts.

Those residing in habitations where a relatively large number of people wash every morning in the bathroom, find it very inconvenient to carry back and forth from the bedroom and bathroom, necessary toilet articles, such as shaving articles, and tooth brushes and washcloths, and therefore I have designed a toilet accessory adapted to carry these various toilet articles, therefore not only locating these various toilet articles convenient for use, but rendering it unnecessary for the owner to leave the same in the bathroom.

In putting my invention into practice, I provide a tray A, the floor B of which is lower than the side flanges C, thus preventing the slopping of water from the tray. The end flanges D are relatively wide and curve outwardly thus providing means to permit the tray to be lifted. Integrally with the flanges C are side flanges E which perform the function of feet to support the floor B far enough above the top of the dresser or other piece of furniture supporting the article to permit the fingers to be readily passed underneath the end flanges D.

The flanges C are preferably tubular in form and of course are located at the ends of the end flanges D. A pair of end sup ports are remo-vably associated with each end of the tray A, and these supports comprise uprights 2, the lower ends of which are bent inwardly to form pins 3 which. pins are received by the tubular flanges C as shown in Fig. 1. The uprights of each end support are coupled together by a tie rod 4, and these tie rods are offset inwardly from said uprights 2 by arms 5 so as to overhang the tray A, and it will be understood that the drip from a washcloth hung over a tie rod 4: will be received by the tray.

In order to couple the end supports together I provide a tie rod 6. This tie rod as well as the end supports, is made of wire of the desired gauge, and may be provided with any suitable loops or eyes 7 and hooks 8 to support various toilet articles.

The rod 6 will be located at the rear side of the tray, and it should be demountably supported in place; a convenient construction for this purpose consists in bending the ends of said tie rod 6 substantially at right angles thereto so as to form pins 9. These pins are removably held in sockets 10 suitably coupled to the uprights 2.

By one skilled in the art, it will be clear that the end supports, as well as the tie rod 6 are demountably associated, and therefore this toilet accessory may be made compact for packaging.

If it be desired, the upper end of the inner upright 2 Of each end support may be provided with an eye 11 so that the toilet accessory may be hung up on nails or other supports. It must be understood however that these eyes are not essential.

If desired, countersunk in the floor B may be formed basins 12, of various shapes, though these basins are not essential.

Obviously various changes in details of construction may be made without departing from the spirit of my invention.

hat I claim is:

A toilet accessory comprising a tray having integrally formed therewith side and flanges; a tie rod offset inwardly from said end flanges projecting above the floor thereuprights to overhang the floor of said tray of, the said side flanges being tubular in and a tie rod removably coupling the inner form; an end support for each end of said pair of uprights of said end supports t0- tray comprising a pair of uprights the lower gether. 1

ends of which are bent to form pins adapted to be removably supported in said tubular ET ELIZABETH DAVIDSON.
