Application filed. April 26,
T0 aZZcohom t may concern.' p
Be it known that I, FRANK MARZAK, citizen of the United States, and resident of Brooklyn, in the county `oi: Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Folding Chairs, of which the following is a specilication.
rllhis invention relates to combinationtables and chairs, or the like, and has :tor its main object the provision ot a table having pivctally attached thereto collapsible chairs which may at will be extended and withdrawn from their normal place of concealment under the top panel ot the table, or, after use, they may be collapsed and concealed under said panel. My device is of particularly great value to children in that the saine may provide a playing table and chairs integral therewith ot small size and` compact construction, which will occupy little space and will not obstruct floor space or passages.
The above and other objects will become apparent in the description below, in which characters of reference referto like named parts in the drawings.
Referring briefly to the drawings, Figure l is a plan view of my device, showing one chair extended.
Fig. 2 is a front elevational view of the saine.
Fig. 3 is a Jiront elevational view showing my invention applied to a sewing machine, with the chair concealed.
7Fig. l is a side elevational view of the same with the chair extended.
Fig. 5 is a cross-sectional view taken on the plane 5-5 of Fig. 6.
Fig. G is a side elevational view of the device shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
Fig. l" is a view of a modification ot Fig. 4C.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged view showing how the chair is attached to the `floor when used with a fixed sewing machine.
Fig. 9 illustrates another modification of Fig. l.
Fig. 10 is an enlargement of a part of Fig. 9.
Referring now in detail to the drawings, the numeral 1 represents the panel of a table of substantially common construction, supported upon legs 2. Cross-bars 7 are mounted diagonallyunder said panel and supported in said legs; and immediately under said cross-bars a second panel 18 is `Specilcatioi'i ofLetters Patent. Patnted Apr 12 1921 1920. Serial No. 376,497.
torted-Z-shaped bar l0, `as shown. The
other end of said bar 10 has an ear 1l there on to which is pivotally mounted at 11L a second bar 12, oi the shape shown. The ear 11 is constructed with a shoulder 10, and
the member l2 also has a shoulder 12a,thel
saine being so arranged that, when the chair is in the extended position illustrated in Fig. 2, the said two shoulders contact with each other so as to maintain in a horizontal position those portions of the members 10 and 12 which are immediately adjacent the pivot 11a. On each side of the table two such members 10 and l1 are attached, and the pivot 11a, which consists of a bar, joins each pair of said members, as shown. Referring again to the extended chair in Fig. 2, the vertical portion of the' member 10'? constitutes a Supporting leg for the chair, as does also the lower portion ,12" of the member 12.
In the upper end of themember 12 is a pivot 15, to which is attached a seat panel 13 having a shoulder 16 adjacent the pivot, said shoulder retaining said panel 13 in horizontal position when the chair is extend-i ed. The lower side o'f saidpanel 13 is pro vided with a knob or handle 1e, by means of which the chair may be withdrawn from under the table.
The manner of manipulating the device is now readily apparent. Assuming the chair is in extended position, the panel 13 is ro tated through about 135 degrees, and the same is lifted upward and the member l() is swung inward toward the table until the chair is entirely under the panel 1. Then the shoulder 16 lies under the clip 17 and is retained thereby. In order to extend the chair, the knob 14 is simply withdrawn and the chair placed in the position shown in l? 2, the manner of extending the saine being apparent.
In Figs. 3 and 4 I have illustrated ymy in-V vention applied to a sewing machine 2O hav- Y `nate the troublesome search for, and carrying of, a chair from a distance. Again, the chair will not take up any additional space when not in use.
In Figs. 7 to 9, inclusive, I have illustratedy modified forms of my invention applied to sewing machines. In Fig. 7, referring to the chair, the member 12d has been turned at the top to provide a horizontal shoulder 25 having a raised pivotal support 26 at its extremity. The chair seat i3d is pivoted at 26, and rests upon the said shoulder 25.
Since, in factories utilizing a large number of sewing machines, the machines are generally fixed to the floor, I have illustrated in Fig. 8 the manner in which my chair may be well fixed to the Hoor adjacent the machine. rlhe floor is 'shown at 32, and a base 30 having outer extensions 3l is screwed to the floor. Ears 33 stand upright from said base, and a pin or shaft 9c passes through said ears and pivotally retains therebetween thefoot 34 of the leg 10", the latter being equivalent to the ieg 10r1 of Fig. 7
Still another modification is illustrated in Figs. 9 and 10, in which the chair is shown composed of a leg l0e (equivalent tothe aforementioned leg 10d), said leg being attached at 24e to the support 23e on the machine 20. Another leg l2e is pivotally attached tothe legV l0e at 11e, a pair of rightthe seat is cushioned by said spring.
Fig. l() illustrates, in enlarged detail, the pivotal attachment of the seat 13e to the member 47. This shows that the seat 13e is supported on one side by the pivot 26e and tachment with said standards, leg members pivotally attached to said Z-shaped members, upward extensions on said leg members, seat panels pivotally attached to said extensions, and means on said seat panels for retaining the latter in horizontal position when said seat is extended.
