Applicationfiled-January l14, 1914. Serial No.'811,951`.
To @ZZ whom t may concern.' A* Be it known that I, EDWARD HARDTKn-a citizenoi the United States, residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee Vand State of 'Visconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Collapsible Seats, of which the following is a full-` clear, concise, and exact description, reference being had vtothe accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.A
My invention relates to collapsible seats, and particularly to auxiliary seats such as are adapted for use in automobiles.
The object of my invention is to provide be used either facing forward or rearward, means being employed for shifting the seat proper relative to its supporting standard, so that ample room may be had between said seat and the adjacent stationary seat. In addition to the shifting of the seat proper either forward or rearward, I provide means whereby the same may be turned to any angular position, means being provided for holding the same in the position to which it is moved. The seat is so constructed that it may be collapsed and swung out against the side wall of the automobile when not in use.
My invention will be more clearly understood by referring to the accompanying drawings in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View of the seat of my invention, Fig. 2 is a side elevation, some .of the parts being shown in section to more clearly reveal the construction; Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the seat in its collapsed position, and Fig. 4 shows a seat with a modified form of standard adapted to be secured to the side wall of the auto-v mobile, the seat being shown in one of its angular positions. v
Similar reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
The seat of my invention comprises a standard or pedestal 5 screwed or otherwise secured to the loor. The upper endof the pedestal 5 terminates in a tongue 6 upon which is pivotally mounted at 7 a link 8 having a bifurcated end to accommodate the tongue 6. Pivotally mounted on the link 8 by means of the bolt 9 is -a supporting arm 10, which arm is provided with a stud 11 extending up and through a plate 12 secured to the plate 13 screwed to the under side of the seat 14. As shown the center of the seat 14 is positioned eccentrically relative to the pedestal so that the seat may be moved either to one :side of the pedestal or the other, as desired. A compression spring .15 acting between the plate 12and a washer 16 serves to retain the seat infrictional en* gagement with the supporting arm 10. A plurality of convex lugs 17 on the plate 12 are arranged to engage corresponding depressions in the supporting arm 10 so that the seat 14 can not be too easily turned.
As illustrated in Fig. 3, the arm 10 is provided at its bifurcated end with notches 18 and 19. A lug 20 carried by the standard engages the notch 18 when the seat is in the position shown in full lines in Fig. 2. rfhis arrangement positively locks the supporting arm against horizontal rotation. When it is desired to swing the seat from the position illustrated in full lines in Fig. 2 to the position illustrated in dotted lines, the back Q1, pivoted at 22 to the seat, is swung down to the position shown. The seat 14 is then swung upon the pivot 7 to a vertical plane, disengaging the notchand lug 18 and 2O respectively, whereupon the seat is turned on the pivot 9 to the position illustrated in dotted lines in Fig. 3. The seat is then turned down to a horizontal plane, the notch 19 engaging the lug 20, and the seat 14 turned substantially 45 degrees in a clockwise direction.
In Fig. 2 I have shown my device applied to an automobile in which 23 and 24 respectively illustrate the front and rear seats thereof. It is readily seen that the seat may be moved either toward or away from the rear seat 24 and may also be turned without in any way changing the distance between it and the rear seat.
In the modification (Fig. 4) I have Shown a standard or bracket 5a adapted to be lse-` cured to the side wall of an automobile. 1n this figure 1 have shown a seat 14a in one of its angular positions, the construction of said seat being identical with that shown in Figs. 1, 2 andB, with the exception of the supporting bracket.
What I claim is:
1.` A device of the class described,`com prising a pedestal, a link pivoted to the pedestal and arranged to swing in a substantially vertical plane, a supporting arm pivoted to said link, a seat carried by the arm and positioned eccentricallyrelative to the lastnientioned pivot, said erin being provided With a pair of notches and a ltongue carried by the pedestal larrtinged vWhe'nthe seat is moved to'opertve position lto -project into one of the notches, said notches being positioned so that When one emhraces pedestaloandfarrangedto swing in a substantially vertical p1a1j1e, .a supporting arm piv- Vthe tongue the seat is ,disposed on one sideof the pedestal and When" the other engages the tongue the seat is positioned on the other side of the pedestal.
2. A VAdevice of .the Lclass described, comv prising Aa pedestal, a link-.pivotedfto the oted .to ,said linlgt seatirotatebly carried the arm and positioned eccentrically relative to the Vlast mentioned pivot, said arm being V.Copiesgf this :patent may be obtained fior provided with apair ofnotches nd a tongue "carried by the pedestal arranged when the seatis lmoved lto operative-positionto'lproject intoone of the notchesfsaid notches being positioned sothatf'when one embraces the tongue the seat is disposed on oneI Vside ofthe fpedestal and When the other engagesthe "tongue ythe seat is positioned onfthe other siderof thelpedesltal. l
