Description

%tatzr WILLIAM ORANDELL, or wnsrrrntn, NEW YORK.
Letters Patent No. 110,746, dated January 3, 1871.
IMPROVEMENT IN RAILWAY-CAR SEATS.
The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.
I,W1LLIA1vr CRANDELL, of Westfield, in the county ofOhautanqua and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Gar-Seats, and for other purposes, of which the following is a specification.
Nature of the Intention.
My invention is for the purpose of making car-seats, 860., more comfortable for night and day use by turning them into lounging chairs; and
The invention consists in raising and lowering the seats and slanting the seat and back, and the appliances by which this is accomplished, to-be hereinafter fully described.
General Description.
the front end rests'on lugs b I), while the back end.
rests on the rail or foot-board d, which. is lower than the lugs and causes the back end of the seat to slant, making the seat more comfortable.
At the same time the seat is lowered the back D gravitates back of itself, making a greater slant, which permits the occupant of the-seat an almost recliningv posture, and serving as a support for the back, as well as a head-rest.
The swinging arms a a, permit the seat to swing forward or back, according to which end-for the time being-is the fron'tof the car.
To keep the seat in the usual elevated position when it is not required' to be lowered, I provide the bottom of the seat-frame, on the inside, with a double lever, E,-pivoted at e, and having handles or knobs, f f, near the'edgc of the seat, by which itniay be operated from above.
Two slots, g g, in the lever E, receive the bent ends of rods or catches F 1*".
The opposite ends of these rods F F enter holesiu the standards at h h, (see fig. 1,) and are held-in that position by spiral springs i t.
The lever E is moved sidewise, whichpulls rods F, F out of the holes h h in the standards B, releasing the seat, which falls into place by its own weight.
\Vhcn the seat is elevated, if one, end. is raised higher than the other, the rod on that side will shoot into its place quicker than the, opposite one. This is accomplished by means of slots g g ,-'which cnablethe' rods 13 F to act independent of each other in a sudicient degree.
Claims.
\Vhat'I claim as my invention is- 1. The combination of" the pivoted arms a a with the seat 0 and back D, in the manner and for the purpose specified.
2. The pivoted arms a a, the swinging lever E, and the spring rods F. F arranged together and operating in connection with the changeable seat 0, in the manner andfor the purpose specified. v
In witness whereof I have hereunto signed my name in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
Witnesses: WILLIAM ORANDELL.
