CAMP-STOOL.

Application `1edJu1y 7, 1914. Serial No. 849,406.

To all 'whom t may cof/wem:

Be it known that I, ELIZABETH Cnoznsn, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco and' State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Camp-Stools, of which the following is a speciication.

This invention relates to camp stools.

It is an object of the invention to provide a very inexpensive, substantial, fold-y a'ble camp stool, each of the elements of which is simple7 strong and durable.

The invention consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, having reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective of the stool adjusted for use. Fig. 2 is a view of the device when folded and wrapped.

2 indicates a triangular canvas seat with gromets 3 in its corners. One corner of the seat is attached to an end of one of three legs 4, having ends turned down at 5 to enter the gromets. The legs pass through a girdle or ring 6, which is non-slidably connected to the legs by staples or other suitable means, as 7, secured intermediate the ends of the legs. The staples and ring 6 provide ieXibility of connection so that the legs may be folded parallel, as in Fig. 2, or may be crossed, as in Fig. 1, in which position the seat 2 may be adjusted on the smaller upper ends for use.

vWhen in use, the legs are prevented from slipping longitudinally and laterally by the staples and the girdling ring. The crossed relation of the legs at the ring is maintained by the combined reaction of the legs against each other and support derived from the ring limited in its movement by the fastening devices.

As depicted in Fig. 1 a fastener 8 is borne by an integral extension of the seat, which extension provides a freely movable fiap located adjacent the leg to which a strap 10 is connected. The strap is rigidly connected at its inner end to the reduced end of the' said leg and serves as a handle infcarrying the device when folded as shown in Fig. 2 and at the same time acts as a means for Specification. of Letters Patent. Patented Fel). 22, 191.6. y

`permanently holding the seat on said leg. A

fastener 8 complementary to the fastener of Q the flapfis located on the rseat so that when f' the seat is removed from the other two legs and all of the legs are arranged in parallelism and the sea-t wrapped thereabout, the fasteners 8 may be interengaged to hold the device in the position shown in Fig. 2. The strap also affords a place for receiving advertising matter as shown.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent isy A folding camp stool composed of three movably connected legs the upper ends of each of which are similarly reduced to form shoulders, a triangular seat having openings to receive the respective reduced ends.,

of the legs, a strap secured at one end to the said end of one of the legs, said seat having an integral extension adjacent said third leg providing anfreely movable flap,

a fastener borne by said extension or flap, and a complementary 'fastener on the seat located so that when the seat is removed from the other two legs-the latter may be disposed in parallelism and the seat wrapped varound thelegs and engaged with the rst named fastener, said strap serving as a handle and also acting as means to permanently hold the seat on said-leg to which the strap is secured.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.

ELIZABETH CROZIER.
