foot rest 7 is piVP with apair of suitablydshaped projections or larms' 10l 'respectively ada-pted to engage agalnstl `shoulders 11 projecting `from lthe said split sleeves 9 embracing the frontl legs of the chair. When pressureis brought to bear upon the foot restfthe saidprojections n10 'are pressed downfagai'nstthe shoulders 11 of said sleeves, thus causing'th'em to lgrlp the legs of the chair and tolo'ck thefoot rest 7 intheVx position kin which itis set. If additional locking means may be employed. The upper ends of the sadj front pair of legs 3 are provided withv latches suit'n ably in theffo'rm of hooked members A1 2as shown which if desired may be controlled springs. The said hooked members 12 are respectively adapted to engage over pins 13projecting from each side frame 6 of the seat. The said pins are preferably provided withthumb' nuts 14 adapted to be screwed against said hooked members when in gagement with said pins, thus locking said hooked members and consequently locking the chair seat vand preventing it from collapsingV into the folding position when'the chair is'in useas shown in Fig. 1. y
As shown in detailin Figs. 2 and 3the chair seat`15is adapted t0 be raised and tilted to a desired position above its frame 6. The under` side of the chair seat 15 is provided with a pair of lugs 16 having attached thereto heads 17 of telescoping lmembers 18 adapted to telescope in the upper ends of the back legs 4'of the chair. The said telescop ing membersV 18 are conveniently locked 'in Y position byset screw 19 when the chair seat Thev pawl 22.*pivotedt0 the rear `arms 23 of Ythe movable arm' rest 24 holds said 'arm rest in thepositon'in which it is set. In orderI to. allow-of said arm rest being folded 6 is engaged with one'o'rl y the series of ratchet teeth 21 ar-v ranged on the under surface of saidhseat 15;I
means of set screws 27. The
.lows of the angle of it is mounted on parallel arms 23 With piv oted joints 44 on the upper ends of said arms and pivoted joints 45 on their lower ends. -The said joints 45 are mounted upon secondary hinged pieces 46 pivoted in a plane at right angles to the said pivots 45 by means of pins 47 passing through lugs 48 on the main frame-Work 6. lf he back end of .the seit frame 6 is provided W'ith'up'rights The said up.

rights carry the sliding back 26 supported onsaid uprights by guides 28 and adapted position by uprights 25 carrying the chair back are provided With pivotal ratchets 29 adaptedl tobe engaged by paivls 30 arranged at the back of thechair seat. This p aWl and ratchet mechanism' althe back being set to to be locked' in thev desired Suit the patient. v
`4The back is adapted to carry in a central position the slidingvupright 32 on which is mounted the head rest 37 shown in Fig.Y 4 which is mounted between clamping pieces 4l and 42 and is adapted to be clamped in the desired position by means ofthe hand screw 43. The sliding upright 32 can be locked in the desired position by any convenient means such as a set screw 38. The chair of my invention may also be fitted With removable or auxiliary arm rests 33, the ends 34 of said arm rests being adapted to rest in the sockets 35 in the chair seat, as shown in Figs. 7, 8, 9 and 10. The said arm rests 33 can be reversed according to the Width of seat required.
