CONVERTIBLE ROCKING-CHAIR, COUCH, AND MERRY-GO-ROUND.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 682,234, dated September 10, 1 901.
Application filed May 23, 1901.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that we, ANTON BREMSER and JOHN MANN FULTZ, citizens of the United States, residing at Quincy, in the county of Adams and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in (Jonvertible Rocking-Chairs, Couches, and Merry- Go-Itounds, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
- Our invention relates to the construction of a lawn rocking-chair that is convertible into a stationary seat, a couch, or a merry-go-round.
The invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.
Figure I is a perspective view of the article. Fig. II is a longitudinal vertical section taken centrally through the article. Fig. III is a cross-sectional view taken centrally through the lower'portion of the article in the condition in which it is used as a merry-go-round. Fig. IV is a detail top view illustrating the manner in which the turn-table of the merrygo-lround is secured to the platform of the artic e.
The platform of the article is composed of a pair of base-boards 1, each surmounted by a guard-strip 2 and united by cross-pieces 3.
4 designates a pair of rockers arranged to rest on the base-boards 1 and joined together by a cross-piece 5, that is surmounted by the legs 6 of a center seat 7. Upon the ends of the rockers a are end seats 8.
9 designates folding backs joined to the rockers 4 by hinges 10 at the location of the end seats 8 and movably held by lugs 11, that are pivoted to the folding backs and to the rockers.
12 designates a removable back adapted to be positioned at one side of the center seat '7 and having its legs 13 arranged to rest against posts lhmounted on the cross-piece 5 between the rockers.
When the article is to be used as a rockingchair, the parts are positioned as seen in Fig.
I, and the three seats 7 and 8 may all .be occupied and each person sitting on the seats may lean against the back associated there- Serial No. 61,542. (No model.)
with for comfort. \Vhen the article is used by one person only, the center seat '7 is alone used and the folding back 9 in front of the occupant may be folded down into the position seen in Fig. II and the other folding back be moved forwardly, as seen in Fig. II, to serve as a brace for the back 12, that is associated with the center seat. In either instance the rockers 4 rock freely on the base-boards l of the platform, and their movement is directed by the guard-strips 2. If it is desired to convert the article into a stationary seat, the legs 15, pivoted to the rockers 4, are swung downwardly into the position shown by dotted lines at the right-hand end of Fig. I and the rockers are thereby held from movement. In order to convert the article into a couch, the removable back 12 is lifted from the position in which it is seen in full lines in Figs. I and II and laid upon the center seat 7, so that the lugs 12, projecting therefrom, embrace the edges of the seat and hold it from slipping thereon. The folding backs 9 are then moved inwardly and downwardly until they rest on the seats 8, as illustrated in Fig; II by full lines at the left-hand end and dotted lines at the righthand end. In converting the article into a merry-go-round a turn-table base 16 (shown in Figs. III and IV) is made use of. The turn-table base is provided with arms, one of which engages in a notch 2, contained by one of the guard-strips 2, and the other arm is retained on the opposing base-board 1 by a pin 18, that passes through eyes 19, set into the base-boards. The turn-table base receives a bearing-block 20, that is fixed to the under side of the cross-piece 5 between the rockers 4:,and when the turn-table base is introduced and the bearing-block 20 mounted thereon the rockers 4 are elevated above the guard-strips 2, so as to be capable of clearing said guardstrips as the rockers are revolved with the turn-table base as a central bearing. The
We claim as our invention 1. In an article of the class described, the combination of rockers provided with a pair of end seats and a center seat, a removable back detachably mounted between said rockers at the location 0t said center seat and adapted to be positioned on said center seat, and a pair of backs hinged to said rockers at the location of said end seats and adapted to be folded into a horizontal position, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. In an article of the class described, the combination of a platform, a turn-table base detachably applied to said platform,and rockers provided with seats and revolubly mounted on said turn-table base, substantially as described.
3. In an article of the class described, the combination of a platform, a. turn-table base detachably applied to said platform, rockers provided with seats, a cross-piece mounted between said rockers, a bearing-block carried by said cross-piece and adapted to rest upon said turn-table base, and a swivel-pin positioned in said cross-piece, bearing-block and turn-table base, substantially as described.
