STOOL.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 23, 1915.

Application filed April 18, 1911. Serial No. 621,793.

, is tensioned, so as to prevent shocks and I jars from being transferred to the occupant of the stool, the stool being especially useful to motorinen and other railway men.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a stool in which the seat there of is readily and easily adjusted to suit the occupant, and that is yieldably supported in its base, so as to prevent vibration of a vehicle from being transferred to the occupant.

A further object of the invention isthe provision of a stool which is simple in construction, strong, durable, and inexpensive in manufacture.

\Vith these and other objects in View, the invention consists in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereunto appended.

In the drawings: Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stool constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical lon gitudinal sectional view thereof. Fig. 3 is a sectional view on the line 33 of Fig. 1. Fig. 1 is a sectional view on line 47-42 of Fig. 1.

Similar reference characters indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views of the drawings.

Referring to the drawings by numerals, the stool comprises a base including upwardly converging legs 5, four of which are preferably used, and which are united by cross rungs 6 in the usual well-known manner, the legs, at their upper ends being fitted in suitable sockets formed in the under face of a circular head 7, forming the stool proper.

Passing downwardly through a suitable central opening in the circular head 7 of the stool proper is a revoluble postor stem 8, to the free end of which is fixed a circular shaped seat 9 which may be padded or otherwise upholstered for comfort to the occupant thereof. Secured to the under face of the head 7 and surrounding the stem 8 is a guide sleeve 10 which may be of the required length, the same being formed with a circular flange 11, through which are passed suitable fasteners, securing it to the under face of the head 7 of the stool.

Below the end of the sleeve 10 is a disk 12, provided with a central perforated boss or hub 18, the same being arranged concentrically about the stem 10, and against which abuts a collar 14 carrying a set screw 14: locking it upon said stem 8, thereby adjustably securing the disk 12 on the stem. Suitably secured in the disk 12, near the periphery thereof, are eye members 15, with which are engaged the lower ends of coiled retractile springs 16 arranged in series concentrically about the sleeve 10, the springs 16, at their upper ends, being detachably engaged with hook members 17, suitably secured in the circular shaped flange 11, contiguous to its periphery, the springs being designed to yieldably support the seat 9 when occupied by a person.

Surrounding the stem 8 and adapted to abut against the lower end of the sleeve 10 is an adjustable collar 18, the latter carrying the usual set screw 19, whereby it may be adjusted on the stem, and this collar is designed to limit the upward sliding movement of the stem 8 in the sleeve 10 when the seat is unoccupied. It is of course understood that the collar 14 may be otherwise adjustably connected with the stem 8, and likewise the collar 18, if found desirable. It will be obvious that when the seat is occupied, all vibration of a vehicle will be absorbed, thereby preventing the same from being transferred to the occupant of the stool, the latter being especially useful for motormen and other railway men.

WVhat is claimed is:

A stool of the class described, comprising a base frame provided with a circular head, a sleeve provided with a flange attached to the under surface of the head, a seat, a stem depending centrally from said seat and slidably mounted in said sleeve and head, a disk slidably mounted on the stem adjacent its free end, a collar adjustably secured to said l stem above the said disk for limiting the upsimultaneous adjustment of all of the it Ward movement thereof, a second collar adsprings to any degree of resiliency.

justably mounted on the stem above and In testimony whereof we allix our signaabutting the free end of the sleeve for limittures in presence of two witnesses.

5 ing the upward movement of the said seat, PETER J. DESSELLE.

stem and disk, springs connected to the GUSTAVE F. PHILLIPPAR. flange on the sleeve and the disk for yieldlVitnesses: ingly supporting a weight on said seat, said L. L. ARBUCKLE, first mentioned collar and disk allowing the V. J. Romans.
