Description
` To all 'whom t may concern:
H it knownjthat I, LEMUEL W. FERRlss, ofOwego, in the county of Tioga and State of New York, zhave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lounge-Chairs, and that the followingis a. full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, reference being had to [the accompanying drawing, which i represents a perspective View of the chair, the lines in blackfdenoting the shape of the l chair when used for 4sitting and the red lines its position `when arranged for` reclining.
. The nature :of my inventionrelates to the e method of hinging the several partsof the chair, one `to another so as to make it sus? ceptible of the `Various positions, inwhich it maybe usedby` the occupant, by the motion of the body orI limbs.` l i i: To enable othersskilled in the art to` make and use my inventionpI will proceed to de` scribe the same" with reference to the drawin s. i l i l l 2glhe legs A, arms B, and side rails C, of thechair, are permanently attached to each a other, and may be made of any desirable f shape or form, and plain or ornamented. The back D, is hinged at 1 to the permanent part of the chair, and has a circular shoulder at which `fits `.and 'slides over the rounded part c, ofthe rear of the arm. The side pieces of the back, may be formed at e their lower extremities to correspond with the shape of thelegs, so that when the chair is usedfor a sittingl chair, the elongation of said side pieces willnot be seenfrom the side ofthe chair. a
` The footrails F, fF, are hinged tov the l lower extremities of the elongated side pieces of the back, as at Zandare connected to the seat, `by the bars or stirrups e, e, one end of each of which are hinged to the foot rails, as
e at 3, and the other endsto the seat, as at 4. Grooves are out on inner opposite sides of the foot rails, into which slide the tongues UNITED s'rArEs IIEMUEL W. FERRISS, 0F OWEGO, NEW YRK.
PATENT orriou; A
CHAIR.
fspecifieaun of Letters Patent No. 12,58?, dated `March 27, 1855.,
formed on the outside of the frame Gr, G, which carries the foot board H. The foot board I-I, `is also pivoted in the frame G, s0 that it may be turned up to any suit-able angle to receive and support the -feet of the occupant. Thus the foot board may be run out or in on the foot rails, or be turnedto suit the convenience or comfort of the occupant.
The chair'may be c ushioned, covered, or ornamented at pleasure.
`It will be perceived that when the occupant throws himself back in the chair, the several parts simultaneously assume the positions indicated in the red lines; that is to say: as the back falls, the feet are thrown forward and upward, and the rear of the seat gradually rises, until the several supporting points are in nearly the same inclined plane. If after this the occupant desires to extend the foot board or rest, he can `do so without rising, by merely extending ,his limbs. And if found necessary, a` spring or `catch may be added to the foot rest to hold itwhen properly adjusted.
Having thus fully described the nature of my invention, I would state that, I do not claim a chairwherein the parallelism of the back and foot rest rails is maintained by the arms and seat; but
W'hat I do claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent isa Hinging the seat at its back, to the back of the chair only, in combination with hinging the `rails of the foot rest, to the lower end of the pieces forming the back, so that the seat shall partake of the inclination of the `backand foot rest rails, and said foot rest rails move-'0n a changing center, as set forth.
