CHAIR.
Speccaton of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 1, 1913.
Application led March 16, 1912. Serial No. 684,263.
To all 'whomz't may concern.'
Be it known that I, ADAM D. GOETZ, a citizen of the United States, residing at Charles Town, county of Jefferson, State of IVest Virginia., have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chairs, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in chairs and more particularly t-o that class of chairs known as stair chairs, the object being to provide a chair which is exceedingly simple and cheap in construction and one which can be used in connection with porch steps and the like, thereby dispensing with the use of mats and rugs.
Another object of the invention is to provide a knock-down chair which can be easily and quickly folded in order to occupy a very small space and which can be readily transported.
A further object of the invention is to provide a chair, the bottom of which is formed of a seat frame having a leather woven seat secured in position thereon in such a manner that `the same can be readily replaced when desired by a novice, thereby enabling the purchaser to replace the seat himself when needed.
Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth and the novel features thereof defined by the appended claims.
In the drawing-Figure 1 is a perspective view of my improved chair showing the same in position on a step; Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the same showing the position the chair assumes in respect to the step; Fig. 3 is a transverse section partly in elevation, showing the legs in folded position and in dotted lines in set-up position; and Fig. 4 is an inverted plan view of the chair in folded position.
Like numerals of reference refer to like parts in the several figures of the drawing.
In carrying out my improved invention, I employ a rectangular seatframe 1 which may be of any desired construction but is herein shown as composed of side and end bars secured together4 as shown at 2. Arranged on the seat frame is a seat 3 preferably formed of strips of leather woven together as shown, and having their ends secured to the frame by tacks or the like over noted that the tacks used in securing the binding strips extend through the same at a point midway between the strips forming the bottom. A handle 5 is secured to the frame preferably formed of a strap, the ends of which are secured by tacks as clearly shown in order to allow the same to be readily carried from place to place.
which is arranged a binding strip 4 which is secured in a similar manner and it will be Secured to one of the side bars of the i frame is a pivoted support 6 herein shown connected thereto by hinges 7 said support being provided with spurs or biting members 8 for preventing the same from slipping off of the step or the like. The pivoted support 6 is held in a set-up position by a spring member 9 provided with a resilient socket 10 adapted to receive a head 11 carried by the support and it will be seen that by this construction, a resilient connection is obtained between the support and frame which will hold the support in rigid position. It will also be seen that when the support is thrown into operative position, the head carried thereby is forced through the socket of the spring member 9 in which it is held in such a manner that the support cannot be folded until the spring member is drawn from over the head. While I have shown and described this particular manner of fastening the support, it is, of course, understood that other means can be employed but I have found that this form provides a simple and an eflicient fastening means.
Pivotally connected to the opposite sidel bar ofthe frame 1 is a pair of legs 12 and 13, herein shown by hinges 14, said legs being formed of an oblong block cut into two pieces as clearly shown so that when folded together, they will overlap each other in order to form a support corresponding to the supports 6 which enables the chair to be used upon a flat surface. The leg 13 carries a pin 15 which is adapted to pass within a socket 16 formed in the frame and the leg 12 carries a pin 17 adapted to lit within a socket 18 formed in the leg 13 and while I have shown these pin members relying upon the resiliency of the wood to hold the saine in position, it is, of course, understood that resilient sockets can be used to receive the pins in order to.hold t-he legs in folded position.
Each of the legs is provided with a head 19 .co-acting with a socket 20, of a spring member 21 similar in construction to the spring member 9 hereinbefore described, in order to hold the legs in a set-up position in order to allow the chair to be used on steps. It will be seen that the heads 19 will form biting members when the legs are in folded position so that the chair when placed upon a fiat surface will be prevented from slipping. I have found that this chair can be used to good advantage for camping parties and the like as the same can be used in connection with a stump or the legs can, be folded and the seat will be supportedv above the surface upon which it is placed.
From the foregoing description, it will be seen that I have provided a folding chair which is exceedinglyy simple and cheap in construction and one which is especially adapted to be used for out-door life, the same being so constructed that it can be adjusted in order to assume various positions.
What I claim is- 1. A chair comprising a seat frame having- Va pivoted support, a pair o-f legs pivotally connected to said frame opposite to said support and swinging in a path transverse to the path of travel of said support, and means for locking said support andv legs in adjusted position.
2. A chair comprising a seat frame, a
support pivotally connected to said frame,`
a pair of legs independently pivotally connected to said frame, and capable of being folded one upon the other to form a support, said frame being provided with a socket, a pin carried by one of said legs co-acting withy said socket, said leg being provided with a socket, and a pin carried `by the other leg co-acting with the lastmentioned socket for holding said legs in folded position.
3. A chair comprising a'frame, a support pivotally mounted on one of the side bars of saidV frame to swing inwardly, means for ADAM D. GOETZ.
