SEAT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July a, rare.
Application filed April 26, 1915. Serial No. 23,848.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WALTER A. PooooK, a citizen of the United States, residing at St. Paul, in the county of Ramsey and State of Minnesota, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Seats, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in organ benches, its primary object being to provide a bench for holding a cushion seat in adjusted position, so that a player is relieved from unnecessary strain and can remain seated in the most effective position while playing. Professional players are frequently required to remain seated close to an organ or other musical instruments for long periods of time, such being the case in moving picture theaters and other places, and one of the purposes of this invention is to provide an eflicient and effective seat whereby the player is relieved to the greatest extent from tiresome and injurious strain.
In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a per spective of my invention; Fig. 2 is a side elevation when the cushion seat is removed.
In the drawing 2 and 3 indicate a pair of oppositely disposed slanting end legs of similar construction, each leg consisting of a broad plate flared outwardly at its lower end to-produce stability against forward or backward tilting of the bench. Upon the upper ends of said legs is mounted a seat body A consisting of a transverse plate 4 secured to said legs in horizontal position spaced from the upper extremities thereof, and top shelves 5 and 6 lying in a single horizontal plane secured to the upper extremities of the legs and projecting inwardly and terminating a sufficient distance apart to assist in forming a rectangular cushion seat holding space or receptacle, the inner extremities of said shelves being mounted upon adjacent vertical end mem bers or guides 7 and 8, which form sides of said receptacle. The end walls 7 and 8 and plate 4: forming said receptacle leave open front and rear ends which permit a cushion seat B to be moved outwardly or inwardly into selected position most convenient for the user. The leg members 2 and 3 are braced in slanting position by means of longitudinal bars 9 and 10, which are attached by their ends to said members, the bar 9 being mortised into the rear edge portions of said legs and the bar 10 being a horizontal plate secured to the legs and forming a foot rest below the seat.
The cushion seat is of rectangular shape, and of that type which is commonly called box spring construction. The side walls of said cushion seat are adapted to slide closely between the end walls or guides 7 and 8 of the receptacle and the top of the seat projects above the plane of the shelf members 5 and 6. The shelf members 5 and 6 form convenient surfaces upon which music or other papers may be placed, and the spaces at either side of the seat defined by one of the leg members, plate 4 and the contiguous end member such as 7, and shelf member 5, form a convenient receptacle for holding papers or other articles. In use the rec tangular seat B is adjusted within the receptacle on the plate 4 between the sides 7 and 8 in the most effective position for use.
The length or width of the cushion seat may be varied to suit requirements, and the receptacle which holds the seat varied in length or width accordingly, and the seat may be used for any purpose desired within the scope of my invention. The height of the spring seat may also be varied. The inner faces of the sides and the bottom surface of the cushion are covered with buffers 12 and 13 in the form of sheets made out of leather, canvas or other suitable material,
suitably secured to said parts, said buffers serving to protect the sliding contact surfaces from scratching and also deadening sound when the cushion is moved in its receptacle.
In accordance with the patent statutes, I have described the principles of operation of my invention, together with the apparatus which I now consider to represent the best embodiment thereof, but I desire to have it understood that the construction shown is only illustrative, and that the in vention can be carried out by other means and applied to uses other than those above set forth within the scope of the following claim.
Having described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to protect by Let ters Patent is:
A seat, comprising, in combination, end legs, a plate mounted between the upper portions of said end legs, shelves positioned above said plate on said legs and supported on said plate with their inner contiguous ends spaced apart to assist in forming a receptacle, a cushion seat supported on said plate in said receptacle, and freely held to permit of its being selectively positioned with an end projectlng forwardly from said seatand a foot rest held between said legs and below said plate.
In testimony whereof, I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WALTER A. POCOCK.
