Letters Patent o. 110,512, dated December 27, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN'TVURNPUP SEATS FOR CHURCHES, &c.
The Schedule referred .to in these Letters Patent and making pari: of the same.
To all whom it may concern.- K
Be it known that I, JAMES 1?..T1Brrs, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a .Turn-up Seat for Chnrches'and otherl places; and AI do hereby declare that the followings a fnll, clear, and'exact description thereof, reference .being had to the 'accompanying l drawing forming Aa part'of this specification.A
This invention consists in a novel construction and' arrangement oi' the seat-,and mode of pr'ovidiugfor the securing of the/cushion therein, whereby the cushion, though movable, is retained in place during the act of turning the seat up and letting it down, and is entirely covered and protected from dust when the seat isv turned up. lIn the accompanying drawing--A Figure lisa plan or top-view of a pew-seat con struct-ed according to my invention, showing `the cushion removed, and
F igures2 and 3 are transverse sections of the saine,
showing the scat in different positions and the cushion iirplace.
' Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Io enable others skilled in the nrt to make and use my invention I will proceed to describe its construction and operation with reference to the drawing.
A is the seat proper; .Y
B B are the standards in which it is supported; and
E is the back.
lo the rear edge of the' seatA there is attached, by hinges a u., an upwardly-projecting rib, b, which extends the whole length ofthe ysea-t, and is provided en its inner side with a series of pins, c c.
In front of the seat is u; bar, ll, whichalso extends' the entire .length of the scanned is att-ached to it by springs e e, each of ywhich is secured at one end to the seat, and at the other end a small portion is bent at right angles tothe' main portion or body oi the spring, and secured to the bar d.
When the seat is not iu use this bar is slightly' raised by the springs e e, so'that its upper edge projects considerably above the seat, and is provided on the inner side of said portion with a series of pins, f f, which, with the pins on `the rib b, secure the-cushf ion to the seat while it is being raised or lowered.
The seat is recessed beneath .each spring, so that, when it is used, the pressure ofa persons legs on the bar will force the bar down out of the way, and the springs into the said recesses.
In each of the standards B, opposite the adjacent end ofthe seat A, is a-metal plate, "C, in the rear or back portion of which is a horizontal slot, g, and in the forward portion of whichthere is a hole, h.
In theback-portion of each end of the seat is a pivot, c', which lits within the slot g in the plate O,
and some distance forward of this point is a hole, j,
vwhich receives one end ofthe bridle-rod F, the other end of which fits within thelhole t'i'n the plate O.
lDfis a tie-beam, `which serves to connect thestandardstogether, and supports the seat when down.
The back E and cushion Gare of ordinary construction.
On the forward portion of each standard, j ust below theplate C,.is 'a metal plate, H, in which there is a rubber spring, 7c, that receives the seat when it is brought down, 'and prevents any noise.
When the front end ofthe seat is raised and turned up, the bridle-rod F being incapable oi any motion in the seat, the pivots c' i slide along to the forward ends ot' the slots gg, and the seat is thereby thrown into an inclined position, resting against the back E.l
In this operation, as well as -in that of lowering the seat, the cushion'is secured and prevented from falle ing back in a heapby means of the pins c c and ff.
When the seat is turned up, the cusbiombeing between the seat and back and having its vfront edge covered-by the strip (l, is almost entirely inclosed, and is thereby not only out of the way, but protected from dust during thel sweeping out of the church or place where the seat is used.
Other kinds of springs than those represented might be applied to thefront stripd for the purpose of throwing it up to make it cover the front edge of thev cushion, yet providing for its yielding in such manner as not tovrender its edge uncomfortable to persons sitting upon it.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, s#- l 1. lhe combination of the pivots bridle-rod F, and the slots g g, with the seat and standards, substantiall y as and for the purpose herein set forth.
2. lhe yielding cushion-covering strip d, supported by springs at the front oi' the seat, substantially as and for the purpose described.
3. The combination, with the seat, of strips b and d, furnished with pins c and f, substantially as and for the purpose'hereiu described.
