lMPROVEMENT IN CHAiR-SEATS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,550, dated February 13, 1872.
To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, PETER BUCKLEY, of
Binghamton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Chairs and I do here by declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification and to the letters of reference marked thereon.
The object of my invention is an improved method of constructing the seat and back of a chair of rattan or reed in such a manner that it is neat, cheap, and very'durable. terial which I ordinarily use in carrying out my invention is the inner portion of rattan cane, which remains after the outer glossy portion has been removed for forming the bottom of the ordinary cane-seated chair, and whichis very cheap; but other kinds of material may be used for the purpose. The nature of my in vention consists in anovel andpeculiar method of arranging and securing the strands which form the warp, and in the use of supplementary bars or rounds-in connection therewith, both of which are hereinafter more fully described. To enable others skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I will proceed more particularly to describe the same.
Figure l is a' plan view of a portion of a chair-bottom, showing my improved method of arranging the warp-strands. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the under side of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the upper side of a portion of a chair-seat as it appears when finished.
Letters of like name and kind indicate like parts in each of the figures.
A represents the front round or bar, and A the rear round or bar of the chair. These, together with the legs, represented by B and shown in section, may be of any suitable form for receiving my improvements. 0 and O are supplementary rounds or bars, which may be of any convenient diameter, and which are located alongside the rounds A and A, their upper surface being nearly on a level with that of the main rounds or bars. These bars 0 O are bound to the main bars in the process of weaving, and, if desired, their ends may be inserted into slots provided in the legs of the chair for the purpose of imparting additional firmness and strength. In the drawing these bars 0 and C are placed a short distance from the main rounds in order to show more clearly the manner of arrangingthe warp-strands, and in Figs. 1 and2 the portion of the warp-strands shown are at some distance from the corner of the chair-bottom for the purpose of showing more clearly the manner in which they are arranged. The windings of the strand D only are shown, thoseof the strand E being exactly similar, except that they commence from the opposite side of the chair-bottom, as both strands could not be shown in position without crowding and confusing the drawing.
My improved method of weaving or arranging the warpstrand is as follows, viz; I first take a length or strand, D, of the cane or other material and tie one end thereof around both the bars A and G, at one corner of the chairbottom, either by an ordinary single knot or in any other suitable manner. I then take another similar length or strand, E, of the cane or other material and tie it ina similar manner around both the bars A and G at the corner of the chair-bottom, which is directly opposite that at which the strand D is secured. The supplementary bars 0 and G are thus brought close against the bars or rounds A and A and held in position. I then stretch the strand D across the chair-bottom and over both the bars A and O, and wind it once around both of said bars, binding them together, and then once around the bar A only, and bring the said strand up between the said bars A and G, by which it is pinched and held in position, so that it may be released while the strand E is being manipulated. I then take the strand E and stretch it across the chair-bottom and over both the bars A and O, and wind it once around them both, binding them together, and then once around the bar A only, bringing the times, until I have brought it to a point directly opposite to that where the strand D was left secured, at which point I wind the said strand E once around the bar A only, bring: in g it up between the bars A and O, by which it is again held as before. I ordinarily arrange my warp-strands in series of four strands each,
although other even numbers may be employed if desired, the strand D forming one-half or two strands of each series, and the strand E forming the other half or other two strands of the series; and it will be seen that the intervals or spaces, shown at d d in the drawing, are filled by the strand E.
I have now describedmy method of putting in the warpstrands through. one series to the point where I intend to commence the second series. To put in the second and each succeeding series, I proceed to further 'manipulate the strands D and E in the manner above described,
first placing the strand D, and next the strand E, and manipulating them alternately in the same way as before described until the bottom has been covered by the several series and the other corners of the chair-bottom are reached. It will be observed that, in a series of four, each of the strands is wound a larger number of times around the pair of bars to which it was originally secured than it is around the other pair of bars; and that at the end of each stretched across the chair-bottom it proceeds from between one of the main bars and its corresponding supplementary bar, and from thence is carried over the upper sides of the opposite main bar and supplementary bar, and is then wound around the two latter in the manner before described until the point is reached where it is desired to commence another series, or to restretch the strand across the chair-bottom. Thewoof is formed by passing another similar strand or length of cane transversely back and forth across the chairbottom, and alternately over and beneath the strands which form the warp, as in the ordinary or common mode of weaving.
It will be seen that the warp-strands are held firmly in position, a portion thereof being tightly pressed between the main and supplementary bars, and in case one of such strands should be cut or broken, none of the others are loosened thereby, so that a very strong and durable seat is formed, which can be sold at a very small price. v
, Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The method of putting in or weaving the warp-strands of a chair-seat, substantially as herein shown and described.
2. The strands D and-E, in combination with the bars A A and G O, as herein shown and described, and for the purposes set forth.
PETER BUGKLEY.
