WASHSTAND THAT FOLDS UP

Novel Arrangement That Is Designed for Flats in Which Bathrooms Are Bmall. An Ingenious arrangement to overcome lack of space in bathrooms has been designed by a Philadelphia man. It might be terntoff-vr-folding wash stand, for it consists of a wash basin that lets down into the tub.and can

he folded up against the wall when not in use. A bracket in the wall holds a curved supporting arm which Is hinged In the center. On the other end of this arm the basin is pivotally affixed. When the arm is extended It supports the basin over the center of the tub and can be swung* In either direction so that the receptacle can be held under the spiggets to be filled. In emptying the basin all that has to be done Is to tilt it on its own hinge and the supporting arm can then be folded back against the wall and the whole apparatus be out of the way if anyone wants to take a bath. For fiats and apartments or anywhere where bathroom space is at a premium this device will take the place of a stationery wash stand.
