Swing-Chairs, of which the following is a p specification.
This invention relates to certain improvements in swings; andrthe ob ect and nature of the invention will be readily understood by those skilled in the art in the light of the following explanation of the accompanying drawings illustrating what I now believe to be thepreferred embodiment from among other constructions within the spirit and scope of my invention.
An object of the invention is to provide an improved swing chair or seat of an exceedingly simple and durable construction that will be capable of folding or knocking down into compact form for easy and convenient handling, storage and transportation and that can be easily set up for use without requiring skilled or expert assistance and that when set up will be locked in operative position.
The invention consists in certain .novel features in construction and in combinations and arrangements as more fully and particularly set forth and pointed out hereinafter.
Referring to the accompanying drawigure 1, is a perspective view of my swing set up and locked in operative position, the supporting chains being shown by dotted lines.
Fig. 2, is a perspective view showing the swing folded for storage or shipment.
Fig. 3, is a cross sectional view.
Fig. 4C, is a detail horizontal section.
In the particular embodiment illustrated, the chair or swing comprises a main bottom frame to which the seat bottom is secured; upright end pieces or arms pivotally joined to said bottom frame and adapted to fold inwardly and downwardly thereonto and provided with means for attachment to the swing supporting chains; a back pivotally joined to said'bottom frame and adapted to fold forwardly. and downwardly onto said end pieces when folded, and normally arranged m upright position in rear of said end pieces; and locking devices normally coupling the back to said end pieces to maintain the parts in operative position and adapted to be swung from operative position joining the back and ends to permit the parts to be adjusted to folded position for storage or transportation, said devices adapted to be locked in operative position by the swing supporting chains. 1'
In the drawings, any suitable seat bottom secured on a horizontal bottom frame consisting of longitudinal front bar 2, rear bar 3, and end cross bars 4:, rigidly secured to said longitudinal bars. If so desired, one or more intermediate cross bars may be secured to the longitudinal bars. Short rigid vertical posts 5, are fixed to and rise from the ends of the front bar 2, andcorrespondmg short rigid vertical posts 6, are fixed to and rise from the ends of the rear bar 3; the posts 5, 6, rigid with and located at the corners of either end of the frame being alined, 6. approximately arranged in alinement with the adjacent end bar 4.
If so desired, a corresponding intermediate short rigid post 6, can be provided rigidly secured to the rear longitudinal bar 3 and rising therefrom.
The foldable back consists of a suitable frame, the members of which are rigidlysecured together and to which the slats 7 (or other suitable fillings) are secured. The back frame comprises several cross or upright bars 8, having depending ends pivotally joined to the posts 6, 6. In the example illustrated, the upper ends of the posts 6, 6, are mortised or bifurcated fore and aft of the chair and the depending ends of back bars 8, loosely fit in said mortises and are pivotally joined to said posts by the, several a-lined transverse hinge or pivot bolts 9.
The folding upright ends or arms of the swing chair are preferably similar in construction and dimensions, and each consists of a fore and aft top piece or arm rest 10, and vertical front and rear depending members 11, the upper ends of which are traversed by the arm rest 10 which is rigidly fixed thereto. These members 11 are arranged between the adjacent front and rear posts 5, 6, and their side faces abut the adjacent side faces of said posts, and their lower ends terminate above the top face of the slats or other seat bottom 1. The ends or arms 10, 11, are pivotally coupled to posts into engagement with the upper ends of the front posts, ends pivotally joined to the seat and arranged to fold downwardly thereon, and means for detachably holding the back and ends in normal upright positions.
4,. A swing chair comprising a seat provided with upwardly projecting posts rigid therewith and arranged at the front and rear corner portions thereof, a back pivotally joined to the rear posts to fold forwardly and downwardly toward the seat into engagement with the upper ends of the frontposts, arms pivotally joined to the front and rear posts and arranged to fold downwardly onto the seat, and latches for normally holding the back and arms in upright positions.
5. A swing chair comprising a seat provided with upwardly projecting posts rigid therewith and arranged at the front and rear corner portions thereof, a back pivotally joined to the upper ends of the rear posts to fold forwardly and downwardly toward the seat, arms arranged between and at the inner faces of the front and rear posts and arrange l to swing down: wardly onto the seat, transverse rods carried by the front and rear posts and constituting the pivotal coupling between the arms and posts, and means for detachably holding the back and arms in normal upright positions.
6. A swing chair" comprising a seat having pairs of front and rear upright posts, transverse rods supported by and fitted in said pairs of posts respectively, foldable arms coupled to said posts through the medium of said rods, said rods forming the axes on which said arms are swingable onto the seat, a back pivotally coupled to the seat, and means for detachably holding the back and arms in normal upright positions.
7 A swing chair comprising a seat having transverse rods arranged above its end portions, means removably securing said rods to the seat and whereby the seat is supported from the rods, arms arranged to fold downwardly to the seat and removably receiving and swingable on said arms, said arms being provided with means for the attachment of chair supporting chains, a back pivotally joined to the seat, and means for normally maintaining the back and arms in normal upright positions.
8. A swing chair comprising a seat having pairs of front and rear upright posts, transverse rods fitted in said pairs of posts respectively, foldable arms swingable on said rods and coupled thereby to the seat five cents and provided with means for the attachment of chair supporting chains, a foldable back, and latches for normally maintaining the back and arms in upright posi tions.
9. A swing chair comprising a seat having upright posts rigid therewith, and arranged at the front and rear corners thereof, a swingable back pivotally joined to the rear posts, swingable arms pivotally joined to both the front and rear posts, and latches for maintaining the arms and back in normal upright positions.
10. In a swing chair, in combination, a seat, arms coupled to the seat to support the same and to fold thereto to inoperative position, each arm comprising an arm rest at its front and rear portions having upwardly projecting eyes for the attachment of the chair supporting and suspending connections and a longitudinal rear end slot arranged beside the rear eye and traversed by a keeper, a back coupled to said seat to fold to inoperative position, and latches coupled to the back and arranged to normally lie in said slots and engage said keepers to maintain the back in operative position, said latches being detached by upward swing past said eyes to release the back for folding.
11. In a swing chair, in combination, a seat having pairs of alined transverse sockets at its end portions, a pair of seatsupporting transverse rods arranged in said sockets and longitudinally movable therefrom, against removal from said sockets, seat-supporting arms removably coupled to said rods and adapted to fold to inoperative osition, a back coupled to said seat and adapted to fold to inoperative position, and means for normally maintaining the back and arms in operative positions.
