CHAIR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 1, 1916.
Application filed November 27, 1915. Serial No. 63,819.
T 0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOEL R. OI-INSTAD, a citizen of the United States, residin at Montfort, in the county of Grant and tate of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Chairs; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
My invention relates to new and useful improvements in chairs and my object is to provide a device of this kind, the parts of which are constructed of metal.
A further object is to so construct the chair that it will provide the usual amount of seating capacity and at the same time occupy a minimum amount of space.
A further object is to provide an article holding receptacle in connection with the chair.
A further object is to provide cushioning means for the legs of the chair. And a further object is to construct a chair which may be used for a variety of purposes such as household chairs, theater chairs, stools and for various other purposes.
Other objects and advantages will be hereinafter set forth and more particularly pointed out in the accompanying specification.
In the accompanying drawings which are made a part of this application, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the chair complete. Fig. 2 is a central sectional view thereof showing the article holding receptacle attached thereto. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the article holding receptacle removed from the chair. Fig. 4 is a detail sectional view of the chair seat showing a covering therefor. Fig. 5 is the seat of the chair in blank formation, and Fig. 6 is a detail sectional view showing the manner of attaching the cushioning device to the legs of the chair.
Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 indicates the chair seat which is preferably constructed of sheet metal and substantially triangular shaped, the corners of the seat being severed as shown in Fig. 5 to form tongues 2 and 3. The portions of the seat containing the tongues 3 are bent down? wardly along the dotted lines 4 to form depending flanges 5 which serve as a finish to the edges of the seat and also as a reinforcmg brace. After the flanges 5 have been bent downwardly at right angles to the seat, the tongues 3 are bent inwardly and overlapped with each other when the tongues 2 are bent downwardly over the overlapped tongues 3 and all of said tongues are secured together by introducing bolts 6 through registering openings 7 in the overlapped tongues.
The forward legs 8 of the chair are made by bending strips of metali substantially V-shaped, the upper end of each leg being bent at right angles to form anchoring feet 9 and 10 respectively, the anchoring feet 9 belng on the forward bars of the front legs and engaging the under face of the seat 1, the bolts 6 passing through the forward sections of the legs while the sections of the legs containing the feet 10 are brought to the central portion of the seat and said feet engaged with a bolt 11.
The rear leg 12 is likewise formed substantially V-shaped at its lower end and is provided with a foot 13 which also engages the bolt 11, but instead of providing a foot at the upper end of the outer arm of the leg 12 it 1s continued upwardly above the seat 1 to form a back extension 14 and instead of bending the tongue 2 downwardly over the tongues 3 at the rear edge of the seat, said tongue is bent upwardly and engaged wlth the extension let by means of the rivet or bolt 15. The chair structure is preferably provided with arms 16 and 17 which are preferably constructed of round rods and bent substantially U-shaped, the forward ends of said arms being inclined downwardly from the back extension and so bent that the ends thereof will extend through openings in the seat 1, said ends being provided with threads to receive nuts 18, the ends of the arm 16 also projecting through the feet portions of the forward legs 8, while the ends of the arm 17 are engaged with the seat in the rear of the ends of the arm 16.
The curved portions of the arms 16 and 17 are attached to the back extension, the loop 19 being formed by bending over the upper end of the back extension, while the loop 20 is formed by striking out a portion of the back section and bending the same upwardly so that it will overlap t downwardly tending portion of the back extension and said'parts' are secured together by means of a bolt or rivet 21.
If desired, a receptacle for holding hats, gloves, books or other articles may be pro? vided, said receptacle comprising a body.
portion 22, preferably formed of sheet metal having its side edges turned upwardly to form flanges 23 while the lower end thereof is likewise bent upwardly to form the end flange 24, said end flange having extensions 25 at its ends, said extensions being attached to the forward arms ofthe legs 8 by means of bolts'26 while the upper edge of the body 22 is provided with a tongue 27 for engage ment with the bolt. 11 and when the receptac'le is properly engaged'with the chair, it forms a Convenient pocket below the seat for the reception of various articles.
If preferred, a covering 28 may be placed over the seat 1, as shown in Fig. 4, and said covering may beformed of leather, wood, or
Qltween the rows of chairs may be materially lessened by staggering the chairs of one row any other suitable material, as may be desired, and as shown in Fig. 6. of the drawmg,
" the bottom of the legs 8 and 12 may be protongues and engaged with the bolt 6 as is also the upper end of the leg 12. The chair structure is peculiarly adaptable for use in theaters and churches as the spacingbewith the chairs of the preceding row as the occhpants of the chairs in the second row may enter their feet between the chairs of the preceding row and will also be so positioned as to obtain a clear view between the occupants of the forward seats and by forming the parts of metal, they are practically indestructible from use or confiagration and the occupant will be unable to mar the chair .by cutting the same with a knife or other instrument.
hat I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters-Patent of the United States is a 1. A chair construction comprising a substantially triangular seat portion having its corners slit to form tongues, the edges of said seat portion being bent downwardly to form reinforcing flanges, legs formed by bending strips of metal substantially V- shaped, the upper ends of said legs having angularly extending feet thereon and bolts extending through said legs and seat to secure the legs to the seat, certain of said bolts also extending through the overlapping tongues at the corners of the seat.
2-. A chair construction comprising a seat portion, a pair of legs at the forward edge of the seat, and a single leg at the rear edge thereof, means to attach the legs to the seat, saidrear leg having a back extension, loops formed by bending over portions of the back section, side arms extending through said loops, and means to attach the forward ends of the side arms to the seat portion adjacent its forward edge.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
