Y ADJUSTABLE FOOTSTOOL. y
Lacasse.
Application filed J une 25,
To (I'ZZ 'whom' tf/nay concern.'
Be it known that I, MORRIS WEINGARTEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Adjustable F ootstool, of which the following is a full, clear, and eXact description.
This invention relates to an adjustable support and has particular reference to an adjustable footstool adapted for use in connection with chairs especially in stores or shops.
An object of the invention is to provide a simple and eiiicient stool which can be readily disposed in a convenient place out of the way when not in use but which can I'be readily adjusted in an operative usable position especially with reference to the chair or other support when it is desired to use it. j
A furtherobject resides in the provision of simple, rugged, economically manufactured apparatus whereby the stool can be adjusted in accordance with the object above set forth. v
A further object resides in the provision of the particular construction and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed and shown in the accompanying drawing.
In general the invention relates to an ordinary support, preferably in the form of a stool, which is adapted to be used in connection or conjunction with a chair especially in shoe-stores or other places Where persons sitting in chairs desire to rest their feet on something. Under ordinary circumstances, it is found that if these' stools or rests are left indiscriminately around the shop or room, they are very much in the way and are a constant annoyance. However, by applying very simple and easily operated means to the stool, I have provided that it can be placed |beneath a chair or other device with which it is associated, and then when it is desired' to use the stool, it can readily be pulled out to an operative position. This constant and intimate association of the stool with the chair tends to prevent itfrom being lost or from getting out of place, and thus avoids the necessity ofv constantly replacing it.
The invention is villustrated in the drawing, of which-- f Figure 1 is a side view of a chair showing Specification of Letters Patent.
' Patented Jan. e, ieee.
1921. serial No. 480,287.
the stoolin section beneath the chair and in dotted lines in its operative position, together with the means connecting it to a fixed bracket beneath the chair;
Fig. 2 is a plan view of the device;
Fig. 3 is a section taken on the line 3-8 of Fig'. 2. y
As shown in the drawing, the preferred form of my invention is applicable to and associated with an ordinary chair or other su .port 1.
'he invention comp-rises a stool or rest 2 of any suitable type and design, to which an ordinary mechanism 8, known as lazy tongs, is connected. The connection is preferably by means of a` plate 4f which may be fastened along and underneath an edge of the stool and is of any used construction. This plate is provided with a slot 5 in which one end 6 of one of the links, such as?, of the lazy tongs can slide. The end 8 of another link 9 of the lazy tongs is rigidly connected to the plate 4. This plate can be fastened by any suitaible means, such as screws 10, to the stool 2.
The other end of the lazy tongs 3 is connected to a plate 11 in a manner identical with. its connection to the vplate 4 at the other end ofthe lazy tongs, and this plate is connected or suitably supported on a pair of bracket arms or frame members 12. These bracket arms or frame members are rigidly connected to either the floor ina position preferably beneath the chair 1, or may be connected, if desired, to the chair, although this latter modification is not shown.
It' is therefore readily perceived in accordance with the illustration of Fig. 1, that when the lazy tongs 3 is drawn into its collapsed or its retracted Vposit-ion, the stool 2 is disposed beneath the chair 1 out of the way, and yet is instantly available to be pulled out into the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1, whenever desired. In this way a convenient stool is associated with each chair or with any particular fixed location whether there is a chair there or not, and, therefore, cannot be indiscriminately moved around and get in the way, causing unnecessary annoyance.
It is of course understood that the usual application of this invention is concerned ythe invention resides in. the fact that the members disposed beneath the chair and spaced apart, a bar having a slot therein connecting the upper ends of the bracket members, a plate disposed along the rear under surface of the stool and having a slot therein, and a lazy-tong mechanism connecting the two plates and having members slidable in said slots whereby the stool can be pulled out from beneath the chair for use as desired.
