JOHN T. KENEAIJY WTAIQTER A. NAYLON, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK.

RESTAURANT-CHAIR.

Application filed December 19, 1913.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN T. KnNEAL-Y and WALTER A. NAYLOX, citizens of the United States, residing at Rochester, in the county of Monroe and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Restaurant-Chairs, of which the following is a specification.

The object of this invention is to provide a chair that is especially adapted for use in restaurants orto provide a chair that has a table or an arm that serves the purpose of a table combined therewith.

These and other objects of our invention will be fully illustrated in the drawings, described in the specification and pointed out in the claims at the end thereof.

In the drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective View of the chair. Fig. 2 is a top plan View of the chair.

In the accompanying drawings, like reference numerals indicate like parts.

In the drawings, reference numeral 1 indicates the seat of the chair which is supported by four legs 2, 3, 4- and 5. The legs 2 and 3 terminate in the bottom or seat of the chair and the legs 4- and continue from the floor up past the seat and are joined together by the cross rails 6 and 7. Connecting the legs 2 and 1 is the rail 8 and con necting the legs 3 and 5 is the similar rail. 9. Between the rails 8 and 9 are the three cross rails 10, 11 and 12 which may be used for a hat rack. From the rail 8 rises a. support 13 which is fastened to the seat of the chair at 14: and which bends forward at the top. At the top of the support 13 on one side is fastened the bar 15 which is fastened at the end to the leg a at 16. On top of the bar 15 is fastened the table 18, which table may also be fastened at its rear end to the upper part of the leg 4. Fastened to the rail 9 is the support 19 on the top of which is fastened the arm 20. The support 19 bends forward at the top and corresponds in general shape to the support 13. The table 18 curves around nearly to the center of the front of the chair as is shown in Fig. '2 and overhangs the support 14: .so that the person using the chair, sits in the chair by getting in from the right hand side of the chair as shown in Fig. 2 and then swings around so as to face the table 18, with his limbs under Specification of Letters Patent.

the table 18 at a point approximately diametrically opposite from the leg 5, as is illustrated in Fig. 2. In this position he sits naturally in the chair, facing the table 18, the arm 20 and a portion. of the back of the chair, serving as a support for his back. It is to permit this that the support 13 is connected to the seat near the leg 4 and is curved out at the top so as to give a sufficiently stable support to the table 18 and with the support 13 shaped in this way, the occupant of the chair can sit naturally, facing the table and have his limbsextending diagonally out from the chair instead of extending straight across. This is an i1nportant result secured by this chair as these chairs are used in restaurants in long rows and the diners limbs and feet are thus removed from the aisle in front of the chair and confined substantially to the space occupied by the chair and its table.

e claim 1. A chair comprising a seat, legs supporting said seat, a support rising from one side of said seat and back of the center line thereof, said support being curved forward at the top, a table supported from said support, and curved around over the edge of said seat to approximately the middle of the front of said seat, the space in front of the support being unobstructed.

2. A chair comprising a seat, legs supporting said seat, a support rising from one side of said seat and back of the center line thereof, said support being curved forward at the top, a table supported from said support, and curved around over the edge of said seat, to approximately the middle of the front of said seat, the space in front of the support being unobstructed, and an arm at the other side of the seat serving as a back rest when the seat is occupied by a person sitting diagonally thereon with his limbs extending over the side of the corner of the chair.

3. A chair comprising a seat, legs supporting said seat, said legs being short at the front and long at the rear, the rear legs extending above the seat and forming a back for said chair, a support rising from one side of said seat near the rear thereof and curved forward at the top, a table supported at its rear end from one of said legs and at an intermediate point from said sup- In testimony whereof We affix our signaport, said table extending around over a tures in presence of tWo Witnesses.
