IMPROVEMENT IN ROCKING-CHAIRS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 131,155, dated September 10, 1872.
To all to whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CARL EIBEE, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Rocking-Chairs, and the following is declared to be a correct description of the same.
This rocking-chair is made with a wroughtmetal frame that is braced so as to obtain great strength wit-h very little weight of material, and the rockers are made of three plates riveted together, the central plates being interrupted at the places where the legs and braces enter the rockers; thereby great strength and durability are obtained. The cushion or web forming the seat and back is suspended by a cross bar, and provided with stra-ps and buckles so as to be adjustable for varying the position of the part-s in supporting the person.
In the drawin g, Figure 1 is a vertical section of the chair; and Fig. 2 is a rear view, with one of the rockers in section.
The frame of the chair-body is made of the side pieces a, curved to shape, and connected at the upper end of the back by the cross-bar b, and at the seat by the bands d and rail e. The cushion or supporting-web f is attached at the lower end to the rail e and passes over Ithe bands d, vand thence is drawn over the cross-bar b and secured by buckles and straps g that regulate the length of web hanging between b and e, and hence the manner in which the occupant of the chair will be sustained in a more or less reoumbent position. The arms k may be applied to the side frames a. The
legs l Z are crossed so as to be braced and sur tain the chair in the direction in which it oscilla-tes upon the rockers m. A cross-bar, n, unites the legs Z, and the ends of the legs L pass into the rockers m, such rockers being made of three thicknesses riveted together, the middle thickness being omitted at the parts where the ends of the legs Z pass into the roclo ers so as to form mortises; this is also done where the cross-rail o is applied between the rockers. The back of the chair is supported by the cross-bars or legs 'r r, that are connected at their upper ends to the frame a and at their lower ends to the rockers m or rail o. By making the legs or supports r to cross each other, as shown, the frame of the chair is reliably connected to the rockers, and braced so as to prevent the parts bending, and at the same time the said legs r arenot in the Way of the Occupant of the chair while resting upon the cushion or webbing that is suspended or sustained at the ends somewhat similar to a hammock.
I claimas my invention- The wrought-iron rocking-chair frame, made of the metallic side and cross bars a el and legs l r, connected to the three-part rockers m, as set forth.
Signed by me this 10th-day of July, A. D.
