ARTHUR WHEATLEY, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
CAR-SEAT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 21,1913.
Application filed April 2, 1912. Serial No. 687,958.
T0 all @L1/0m t may concern Be it known that I, ARTHUR IVHEATLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Car-Seats, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in car seats, the object of the invention being to provide a reversible structure which enables the seat to be reversed and one part operate as the back and the other as the seat and vice versa.
A further object is to provide improved mounting for the seat members, so that they may be readily shifted from one position to the other, and which enables the parts to be readily assembled and adjusted in accordance with the angle desired for the seat and the back.
ith these and other objects in view, the invention consists in certain novel features of construction and combinations and arrangements of parts as will be more fully hereinafter described in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1, is a view in end elevation illustrating my improvements. Fig. 2, is a view in front elevation. Fig. 3, is a fragmentary view on an enlarged scale on the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4, is a fragmentary end view showing the parts in an intermediate position, and Fig. 5, is a view in section through one of the supporting rods.
1, 1, represent supports which are provided with openings 2 for the reception of tube sections 3. Rods 4 project through the tube sections, and through the circular ends 5 of metal straps G. The central tube sect-ion 7 is located on a rod 4 between the straps and the ends of rod 4 are screw threaded for the reception of nuts 8, whereby the tube sections and the straps may be clamped together.
9 and 10 represent the two sections of my improved seat. These sections are constructed precisely alike, and are adapted to be upholstered in the ordinary way. It is to be understood that there are two straps 6 on each rod 4. Two of these straps are pivotally connected by brackets 11 with the section 9, and the other two straps are piv-V otally connected to section 10 by brackets 12. The sections 9 and 10 areconnected at their ends by links 18 pivotally connected by pins 14 to the sections and having recessed ends to engage recessed ends of metal bars 15, secured to the ends of the sections and limit the pivotal movement of the sections in one direction. Braces 16 are also provided at the ends of the seat and connect the sections 9 and 10 sustaining the great strain against the back of the seat. Arm frames 17 are also secured on rods 4 and are provided with inwardly projecting pins 18 which support the seat at an incline and hold the back against rearward movement.
lVhcn it is desired to reverse the seat, the sections 9 and 10 are swung to the position shown in Fig. 4. By swinging them to right or left, the seat may face either way. To reverse the seat, it is therefore necessary to elevate both sections and due to the links 18, the seat section may be forced under the back section as far as permitted by the straps 6, and the location of their pivotal connection with the sections. Hence, in accordance with the location of parts, the seat. may have any desired depth, while the back will be normal in height. In other words, as it is one of the great questions in car building to provide car seats with high backs and narrow depth of seat, my structure readily lends itself to economical structures with this end in view. The links 13 are so constructed as to limit their swinging movement in one direction, so that the position shown in Fig. l is an extreme position.
Various slight changes might be made in the general form and arrangement of parts described without departing from my invention, and hence I do not limit myself to the precise details set forth, but consider myself at liberty to make such changes and alterations as fairly fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claim.
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A reversible car seat comprising support-s, horizontal rods connecting the supports, two seat sections, straps having rotary mounting on the rods and pivotally connected to the seat sections, metal bars secured to the ends of said seat sections j and having recessed ends, links pivotally connecting the ends of the seat sections and having recessed ends to engage the recessed ends of the bars, pins on the supports limiting the downward movement of the seat sections7 In testimony whereof I have signed my braces pivotally connecting the seat sections nanie t0 this specification in the presence of le at the ends thereof, and said straps, links, and braces so mounted that the upwardly projecting seat section is maintained over the horizontal seat section in either position of the seats adjustment, substantially as| described. l
