COMBINED COLLAPSIBLE CHAIR AND BAG.
Specification of 'Letters Patent. Patentedsept, 24, 1912.
Application filed January 25, 1911. Serial No. 604,661.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH MATI-IIAS AR- NOLD, a citizen of the French Republic, and residing at Brussels-Kockelberg, Belgium, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Collapsible Chair and Bag; and I do hereby declare the following to be afull, clear, and exact description of the same.
The invention relates to collapsible or out ,door chairs or seats composed of two rectangular frames pivotally connected to- 3 gether and a band of cloth forming the seat 3 and back. The collapsible chairs or seatsof this kind heretofore known take very muchi space when collapsed; they can scarcely or:
not at all be lodged in train cars, cabs and the like'and form cumbrous luggage trav- The present collapsible chair or seat is. characterized by the fact that the two; frames of the chair are each formed of two; parts hinged together and held in operative position on one hand by a pair of supporting arms capable of being moved vertically on the back of the chair and collapsed into the same, and on the other hand by a sec-. ond pair of supporting arms pivotally conf nected at the front-end of the seat-frame and capable of being temporarily. fastened to the lower end of the bacleframe, one end of the band of cloth being free and capable of being hooked in-notches orthe like of uncollapsed chair in operative position. Fig.
2 shows the side elevation of the chair arranged for upright sitting or ready to be collapsed. Fig. 3 is the bottom plan view of the chair collapsed flat upon the floor and forming anopen'bag." Fig. 4: isa side elevation of same. Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the bag formed of the collapsed chair. Fig. 6 shows a portion of the guid ing slot for a supporting arm of the bag, andFigHI is a longitudinal section of the upper part of the chair. 1 Fig. 8 shows detail views of a device for locking the hinges of the frames.
The two rectangular frames 1, 2 and 3, 4 of the chair are pivotally connected together in the well-known way by pivot-pins 5 and are capable of being turned on the latter to place themselves side by side. According to .this invention, both frames are composed of two parts 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 respectively. The parts 1, 2 are secured by cross-bars 6, 7 respectively and hinged together by hinges 8', each of which is formed with two metal strips 8' secured to the sides of the parts 1, 2. The parts 3, 4 of the second frame are hinged together by pivot-pins 9.
In order to prevent the frame- portions 1, 2. from collapsing or turning around the hinges 8 while the chairis being set up for use, said hinges 8 are provided with any suitablelocking device, preferably formed of two spring- blades 27, 27 embedded and secured in the bars 1, 2 and provided with cooperating locking projections 28. When the parts 1, 2 are uncollapsed and alined,
the projections 28 engage each other for securing sufficient rigidity to the frame 1, 2, while the chair is set up for use. The hinges 8 may of course be locked by any other device, without departing from the scope of the invention.
The band of cloth 10 forming the seat and back of the chair is fastened in the usual way to the front cross-bar 11 of the frame 3, 4; said band of cloth extends through a slot provided between the upper cross-bar 7 of the frame 1, 2 and a second cross-bar 7 and carries at its free end a rod 12 adapted to be adjusted in notches 12 of the frame part 2 and retained below said slot when the chair is collapsed. By this arrangement the band of cloth which must belong enough to form the bottom, cover and lateral walls of the bag,may be shortened as desired to form the chair shown in Fig. 1. A third supporting frame formed of two arms 13 connected by two cross-bars 26, 26 is provided with metal strips 16 having a longitudinal slot, the upper end of which is in the shapeof a-hook (Fig. 6) 9 and which isin line with a groove provided in the arms 13. Extending into the slotof each supportingarm 13 is a pin 17 projecting from the inner side of the frame-part 2.
When thechairis in use the arms 13 serve to support the frame 1, 2 (Fig. 1) and are held in place by notches in the frame-part 4 as well as by the pins 17 engaging the hooked ends of their slots.
Secured on the outer side ,faces of the arms 13 are projecting pins 13 adapted toengage corresponding bayonet-grooves 13 provided on the inner side faces of the bars 2 of the frame 1, 2. Owing to these arrangements, the frame 13, 26, 26 afterbeing turned in'the direction of the arrow a (Fig. 2), may be easily brought into the frame 1,2 andparallel to the same, asthe bottom of the transverse portion of the bayonet groove 137 prevents the frame 13,
'26, 26 from being movedbeyond the desired position; owing to said arrangements the frame 13, 26, 26 is moreover held in its parallel position when it is moved upwardly within the portion 2 of the frame 1, 2.
The frame 13, 26, 26 is held in its upper position within the portion 2 by means of semi-spherical projections 16 secured to the inner face of each bar 2 of the frame 1, 2
in such manner that, whenthe ends of the metal strips 16 engage said projections, they .are first bent inwardly whereupon said proectioiis snap into the hooked portions of the slots of said metal strips. .The' front end of the frame 3, 4 is supported by. arms 1 8 pivotally connected to the same by pivot pins 19, and the free end of which has one or several holes 20, adapted to be engaged by a pin 21' secured to the small block 22 on the inner side of the frame-part 1 (Fig. l).
For uncollapsing the chair, the bag (Fig. 5) is raised, the fingers of the left hand being placed below the bar 7; said bag is then opened so that the portion 1 of the frame 1, 2 bends freely downwardly, whereupon said frame is placed vertically upon the ground, floor, deck orthe like and held in this position by the left hand, while the right hand uncollapses theinner frame 3, 4.
Now the supporting frame 13, 26, 26 is moved downwardly and engaged into the desired notches of the frame-portion 4, and the front supporting arms are also connect- 7 ed to the pins 21 by means of their notches frame 13, 26', 26 raised into theframe-por tion 2 and the inner frame 3, 4 collapsed around the pivot-pins 9; in.this way, the
chair is brought into the position shown in Fig. 3, and'forms an open bag, which may be readily filled with any articles and then closed like an ordinary bag. LThe-height of this'bag is equal to 'halfthe'lengthbf a frame of the chair. Said bag maybe easily transported by means of handles 00 secured to the frame-bars 1, 2 (Figs. 4 and 5).
It will be easily understood that in the present collapsible chair the various parts are adapted to be collapsed into a common plane (the plane of Fig. 3), so that the width of the closed bag is equal to twice the width of a frame-bar and the bag has no projecting parts. The collapsible chair may also be converted to an ordinary'seat for upright sitting. To 'this end, the supporting frame 13, 26, 26 is placed directly upon the rear ends of the bars 3 (Fig. 2), whereupon the various part-s are connected by any desired means i. e. a segment 23'of thin metal sheet secured f to the inner side of each frame-bar 3 and provided with a plurality of adjusting holes, adapted to be engaged by a pin 24 secured to'the outer side of each frame bar 4. The same result may be attained by connecting the lower cross-bar of the frame 1, 2 to the rear cross-bar of the frame 3, 4 by means of a strap, eordor'the like 29.
Having now fullydescribed my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is: i i
1. In a collapsible chair comprising a rear supporting frame, the combination with two rectangular frames, pivot-pins connecting the same, each frame being composed of two portions, the two portions of the inner frame being adapted ,to be folded into-one another (see portions 3, 4) means for collapsibly connecting said portions together, a band of cloth fastened at one end "to one frame and having its opposite end' freefa transverse rod secured to this free end of the cloth and upon which the latter maybe wound as desired, means for removably fastening the ends of said transverse rod tothe side-bars of the back-frame, a supporting frame, longitudinahslots-in the side-barsjof said frame, hook-shaped portions attheupper ends of said slots, laterally projecting pins on the side-bars of the outer or backframe, said pinsengaging said'slots, apair of supporting arms pivotally connected to the front end of the inner frame, and means for removablyconnecting said arms to the lower end of'theouter frame,-substantially as set forth.
2. In a collapsible chair comprising a rear cloth and upon which the latter maybe wound as desired, means for removably fastenin-g' theendsi'of sa'id'transverse rod tothe side-bars of the back-frame, a supporting frame formed of two side-bars and lower and intermediate cross-bars, the lower crossbar of said supporting frame coiiperating with the cross-bar (25) of the inner frame to form a rigid side of the bag when collapsed, longitudinal slots in the side bars of the supporting frame, hook-shaped portions at the upper ends of said slots, laterally projecting pins on the side-bars of the outer or back-frame, said pins engaging said slots, laterally projecting pins on the said bars of said supportin frame, bayonet grooves in the side-bars o the outer or backframe and adapted to be engaged by the pins of the supporting frame for guiding the latter when it is moved within said backframe, means for temporarily securing the supporting frame within the back-frame, a pair of supporting arms, pivotally connected to the front end of the inner frame, and means for removably connecting said arms to the lower end of the outer frame, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
