UNITED S'r'rn JOSEPH H. TRAVIS, OF GHARLESTOWN, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT lIN CHAIRS.
Specication forming part of Letters Patent No. 115,787, dated June 6, 1871.
To all whom 'it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH H. rams, of
Charlestown, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Chairs, of which the following is a full, clear, and eX- act description, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification.
The present invention consists of a rest or support for a persons feet, attached to and arranged upon a chair-frame beneath its seat in such manner that, when not desired for use, it can be drawn or placed Within the support' ing-legs oi' the chair, and, as it were, out of sight, giving the chair all the appearance of a chair of ordinary construction.
ln the accompanying drawing my improvement in chairs is illustrated, Figure l being a central vertical section of a chair from frontto rear, having a foot-rest applied, which, by
dotted lines, is shown as extended, Fig. 2, ai
plan or top vieur of the supporting-frame and foot-rest to the chair.
A in the drawing represents the seat-frame,
` B, the supporting-legs, and C, the back-frame,
constructed in themselves, with the seat and.
back frames upholstered in any of the usual modes and styles; C2, a frame, which in the present invention is intended for the foot-rest. This frame is constructed of parallel side rails D, joined together by-a fixed round, E, at one end, and at the other by a round, F, passing loosely through them, and by their projecting ends c fastened to one end of levers Gr. These levers are hung upon a fulcrum, at H, of each side of the chair-frame, and are extended up- Ward into position for the occupant of the chair to convenientlyl seize them. The rest-frame C2, by its side pieces I), rests upon a round,J,
in the front ofthe chainseat, and when the 1evers G are swung baclr on the chair said restframe C2 moves out, bearing on and guided by the front round J into the position shown by dotted lines, Fig. l, where it is suitable for a rest to the feet of the person occupying the chair.
When not desired to use the foot-rest, by properly operating the levers it can be drawn under the seat, and within the frame construction thereof, out of the Way and out of sight,
giving the chair the appearance of an ordinary pose specied.
