PATENT LOUIS, ILLINOIS.
c COMBINED TABLE AND CHAIR.
To all whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, JOSEPH ZiELINjsKI., a citizen of the Republic of Poland, residing at East St. Louis, in the county of St. Clair and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Com bined Tables and Chairs, of whichthe following is a specification. y l
My invention relates tov a combined table and chair or chairs. v
An important object of the invention is to so connect the table with a chair or chairs, that the chair may be movedinwardly. to ward the table, when notin use, and will at the same time be elevated, out of contact with the floor, and entirely supported by the table, so that the table carrying the chair or chairs may be easily shifted upon the floor.
provide apparatus of. the above-v mentioned character, which is convenient in use, strong, durable, and attractive in appearance. l
Other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent during the course of the following description. ,i
In the accompanying drawings forming specication, and in vwhich like parts throughout the same,
Fig. 1 is a vertical vsectional view taken online 1-1 of Figure 2 with the chairs in the outer position,
Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view of the table,
Fig. 3 is vertical section taken on line 3-8 of Figure 2, showing the chairs inthe inner position, and, Y n
Fig. 4 is a plan view of the apparatus, with the chairs in the outer position.
In the drawings, wherein for the purpose of illustration is shown a preferred embodiment of my invention, thenumeral designates the top of the table, embodying the frame 6, and the legs 7. These legs carry casters to permit of the table being conveniently shifted upon the floor. The' invention is not restricted to the construction. of the table per se, as such construction may be varied.
The numeral 8 designates the seats of` chairs or stools. Throughoutv the specication and claims I will use the word chair in its broad sense, meaning a chair, stool,'or any suitable support for a person desiring to sit near the table. The seat 8 of each chair is supported by legs 9,' which are specification of Letters Patent.
A further object ofthe. invention istos`, k1921. vseimila. 513,762.l

or bars,
. f y y `70 The numeral 11 designates lguide:elements which are rigidlyv secured tothe` chair or chair seats 8. These barsvk project i under the chair seats, Aand in connection with one vset of the chairs, the bars. are directly connected with the bottom ofthe seats Sfb'y screwsfor any other suitable.:l
vmeans.v In connection with the vkother-set of chair Seats, spacing bars 12 are 'arranged beneath the seatsA and are rigidly lsecured thereto, and the barsll are rigidly mounted Y upon the spacing bars 12. The purpose of `this construction is lto arrange i one set of bars 11in a plane beneath that of the other set. It -is preferredthat-a bracket 13 be connected with the outer end of each .guidel bar` 11 and the adj acentleg of the chair, whichVv leg is at the outery apex of the trianglel group of legs. This I have found affordsa strong and light construction, while the invention is in no ysense restricted particulararrangement. fr
Arranged beneath thetop 5 of theltable,v
and centrally thereof, is a casing or connecting structure 14, which casingis rigidly secured to the top 5.' The casing holds within its lower portion, a guide block 15, rigidly secured therein. Thisguide block is provided with `openings or grooves 16 and 17. The openings 16 constitute one set, and these openings Aare in a 17 in the'other set. The openings 16 in the saine set are parallel to eachy other, and
spaced, andare at rig-ht angle: to the openings 17. The openings 17 are parallel, and spaced.A The arrangement of the openings 16 and 17 in planes above7 each other, `is to properly receive the sets of guide bars 11',
which are arranged in different planes, as `v above described. In order that the chairs may be raised so'that their legs aremoved .out of contact with the floor, when the chairs to this' plane above the openings' not in use, the
/ f In'use, the chairs may vjoined claims.
are shifted inwardly, beneath or in pbroximity to the table, `I preferably incline the openings 16 and 17, the inclination extending upwardly table, so that the guide bars will raise the chairs as they yare shifted toward the table. Means are provided to automatically vshift the chairs inwardly, from thefouterposi# tion, when released. For this purpose, a retractile coil spring 18 extends longitudinally of each guide bar 11, preferably beneath the same. One end of this spring is attached tothe bar 11 near the chair, at 18', while the other end of the spring is att-ached to the bottom of thecasing 14, as shown at 19.
In order that each chair maybe locked in *the outer position, I preferably provide a recess or opening 2O in each bar 11,'near its inner end, which opening is adaptedto receive a spring-pressed bolt 21, automatically enteringthe opening when the chair is moved to the outer position. This bolt is carried in a casing 2Q, secured to the bottom ofthe casing 14.k rIhe bolt also serves to limit the loutward movement of the chair with relation tothe table. n
be shifted to the louter position, Figs. 2 and hand will be lockedin thisv position by the bolts 21 entering the openings 20. Vh'en the tabler is bolts may be'pulled downwardly and the bars 11 will be released. The springs will automatically shift the chairs to the inner position, in proximity to orben'eath the table, and the chairs will be elevated so that ltheir legs do not contact with the floor, which is due to the inclination of the bars v'lland the Eopenings'l It is to be understood that the form of my invention herewith shown and described, is to be taken as a preferred example of the same, and that various changes in the shape, size and arrangement ofv parts' may be resorted to without departing from the spirit of my 'invention lor 'the scope of the subfrom the chair toward the openings, one set Having thus described my invention, I claim:
1. The combination with a table having a topand legs depending from the top, of a housing arranged substantially centrally beneath the top and secured thereto, said housing having an inclined opening formed therein, a recipro'catory guide bar arranged at an inclination and slidable within said opening, a chair connected with the outer end of thereciprocatory bar and adapted to be bodily raised thereby, means to shift the reciprocatory bar inwardly, whereby the chair is automatically elevated out of contact with the floor, and means to lock the bar in the outer position. l 2. The combination witha table having a top and legs depending from the top, of a housing arranged substantially centrally beneath the top and securedthereto and spaced from Vthe legs, said housing having inclined openings formed therein, inclined reciprocatory bars slidable .within said openings, chairs connected with bars and adapted to be bodily elevated when the bars are moved inwardly, vretractile coil springs connected with the bars and .with the housing to movethe automatic means to lock each bar Vin the outer position when shifted thereto.
3. The combination with a table having a top and legs depending from the top, of a' housing arranged beneath thetop substantially `centrally lthereof and connected with the top,'said housing having sets of inclined being arranged above the other set and disposed *at substantially a right angle thereto, reciprocatory bars slidbars inwardly, and
ably mounted in the sets of openings, chairs mounted upon tractile coil springs connected with the bars and the housing, and a spring pressed bolt carried by the housing and adapted to engage with each bar to lock it in the outer position when Vshifted thereto.
In testimony whereof I ai'x my signature.
