FOLDING CHAIR.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Mar,.13, 1917,
Application filed March 9, 1915. Serial No. 13,184.
To all whom it may concern:
' Be it known that I, IVILLIAM HILLIER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Walhalla, in the county of Pembina, State of North Dakota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding 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.
This invention relates to improvements in chairs and particularly to folding chairs, for
- ing drawing, 10 represents the back of the tending downwardly -legs. Hinged t0 the chair which includes the side posts 11 exand forming the back back posts is a seat 12, the sides of which are pivotally connected to the vertical arm supports 13 carrying the hinged armrests 14 which are connected at their rear .ends to the side posts of the back.
The front legs 16 are hinged to the bottom spaced a slight distance from the bottom.
side of'the seat and carry a transverse connecting rung 17. Connecting the back legs is a rigidly secured rung 18 and. extending from the front rung to the back rung are the two connecting to the bottom of the seat and extending forwardly and backwardly thereof is a rod- 20,
the same being secured at its ends and The forward portion of the rod 20 has a depression or kink 21 in which is engaged the rods or, braces 19. Secured eye 22 of one end of a spring wire 23. "The other end of the wire is coiled around the rear rung and secured to the rung.
The normal tendency of the spring is to force the eye downwardly against the rod 20 and tion this tendency of the spring will force the eye down, into the kink or depression,
when the chair is in normal open posithus holding the chair against being accig dentally folded up. I
To fold the chair it is necessary to first raise the eye out of the depression when the bottom or seat can be lifted up and moved against the back of the chair. In this movement the arms and their supports swing on their pivots and hinges, as well as the front legs so that all of the parts are properly folded against the backof the chair. When the seat is moved down into horizontal po sition the eye of the spring snaps into the depression and holds the same against being moved upward.
It will be noted that any the seat spring, thus greatly increasing the holding power thereof.
What is claimed is: 1 I A folding chair including a back having rear legs connected by attempt to raise when it is locked pulls on 'the'wire a fixed rung, a seat connected to'the legs: and movable toward.
and away from the back, a rod secured to the lower side of the seat and having a de-- pression in its forward end, and a spring wire coiled around the rung with" one end secured thereto, the other end of the-wire being provided with an eye slidably engaged with the rod, the resiliency of the wireurging the free edge of the seat away from the back when the seat is in urging the eye into the said depression when the seat is in lowered position.
In testimony whereof,-I affix mysignature, in the presence of two witnesses.
