REVERSIBLE CUSHION.

Appiieation riierinareiiis, 1922.. 'serial Naseem?. l

To all who/mit concern.' y Be itV known that I, VinsiNiA M; Mo-

-GARvnY, a citizen'ofthe lUnited. States, vreev siding atvBrunswick, in the county of .Glynn andState of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Reversible lowing to be a full, clear, and exact vdescrip- .tion of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it apper' tains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to new and usefulv improvements in cusliionsand more partic-Y ularly to a reversible cushion.

ject of the invention to .provide a cushion. which can be used in chairs, settees or the like for any other purpose to which the same is adaptable wherein two different types of covering are arranged .upon the cushion and so disposed that the cushion can be readily reversed whereby either type of covering will be exposed toi' use."

A further object oi` the invention is the provision or" a reversible cushion which is particularly adapted toi' use'during the ditt'erent seasons of the year. The cushion Vis preferably covered with two different types of material, one being of substantially heavy.

dark type for use during the winter months, and the other being of substantiallyy light weight and coloi as is customarily used dnrf ing the summerseason.. 'l

The invention embodies the idea of a skirt or skirt-like portion attached to the peripheral or marginal edge of one of the faces of the cushion, the skirt being pretL erably or" the same material asv the tace to which it is attached, thel skirtbeing adapted to be drawn close to the sides or wall separating the faces of the cushion, there being a draw string or the like at the 'free end of the skirt tor drawing the saine about the wall .or side of the cushion, the skirt being of a length toallow the draw. string edge of the skirt to be disposed adjacent the opposite face oftheA cushion. y

The above and other novel features of the invention will appearV from theV detailed description taken in connection with lthe Vacompanying drawings, and 'will bey set forth in the-claims. VIn the drawings:

Figure 1 is a top plan view of a cushion constructed in accordance` with my inve-ntion; Y

Fig. 2 is a bottom plan view ot. Fig. l,

it vis y,an ob-V understood. V'elastic member as will be readily appre.

` showing the reverse side otfthe cushion, the

skirt being drawn aboutv the4 sides of the cushion'and the free ends thereof disposed against the opposite face of the cushion..

. Fig; 3 is a partial sectional and side'ele-l vation'al View of Fig. 1'; and Fig. 4 is a partial sectional andelevationa view of a cushion showing the. 'skirt in out of use position` and disposed adjacent the tace-to which it is attache n the drawingsA `there is'illustrated j a.'

' iaagzg i AWT [ser tlat cushion of any suitable interior `coiistruction. l indicates'a heavy,- dark material arranged over one face' and sideof the cushion, and'2 indicates a light-weight material which completes the .coveringxof the cushion, the two materials being joined at Atheiry marginal edges 3'in a'ne'at and-suit-f ablemanner, or in a Ania-nner giving'anoub;

line as is customary?.l

.In order to give the cushion the sein-v blance otbeing entirely covered with light weight or summer material, there is provid-l ed a continuation of such light weight material in the formfot a skirt 5 which extends from the marginal or peripheraledge of the cover face 2. VThe treeA or outer end of this skirt is provided with a'draw string 4; whereby theV skirt may be drawn snugly against the side of the cushion Yas clearly shown in Figs. l, 2 and, thereby giving the cushion the appearance Vof being entirely covered .with light weight material or material ofasingle Vcolor or texture` Should it be desired to reverse thev cuela- .ion to expose the dark or heavy covering l, the skirt is drawn back over the face to which itis attached or of which it is a continuation, as shown in Fig. 4f. To

effect this, it ismerely necessary to release the .draw string if thevlatter is a eXible .but nonfextensible"member and then to open up the end of therskirt and draw the same over lthe cushion as will. be readily The draw string may bean ciated and in such caseV it is of course merely wnecessary to" stretch the elastic member Vto draw the skirt back overthe cushion.V y From the Vabove description it Vwill be seen thatI haveprovided what, as regards` rfaces of the cushion with'a-skirt which is adapted to vcover the sides Yot the cushion,l

ioo

but which. may be disposedvin out ofuse position'when it is desired .to expose theY other face and corresponding sides of the` cushion. AThe invention yis sirnple but of great practical utility' and l 'desire 'it to he understood that intend no limitations ony the invention eXcept as may be defined by Y the appended clairns. c Y

claim: lil A" cushion including a stationary cover attached to one face of the cushion and eX,-

YYtending over. the edges thereofand onto the vopposite face of the cushioinvan additional coverfmeinher attached Sto the tace of the,

cushion opposite the irst cover and connected. with the extended edges of, the first cover, said second cover having` its free edges projecting beyond the connected portion to provide a skirt7V and a flexible draw` string attached to the free edges ,of the second cover.:h

2.. A4 cushion of the class described including` a cover ni'ei'nber normally enclosing one face andA the side' edgeso' the ycushion with itsfedge extending. onto the opposite face of .the cushion, an 'additional coverV meinher `enclosing the opposite face of Vthe cushion and, having connection; with the edge of the first covering,` Vthe 'free edges of the ,second covering having aA flexible draw-string connected thereto. Y i

3., A. fiat' cushion comprising' opposite contrasting faces, a separating wall between the marginal edges of said faces, the said wall being ,of the saine pattern as one of the said i'aces',v askirtV attached to the peripheral edges of thatV Vface which contrasts with the said wall and of the saine Vpatternl as the iast mentioned. face, said skirt being o a' lengthvto allow Ythefrcecend of the skirt to cover up the wall Y and extend over the peripheral edges et the.. contrasting face" said skirt also adaptedy 'to Ybe drawn back from saidwali and to he disposed against., the cushion face ofthesarne pattern asthev skirt.:

IL .zThe combination oi' a cushion havingV two di'fer'entfaces'Rr a skirt attrici/ledvr to the marginal edge of, :and being of thegsaine material as, oneV of said. faces and'o-a length to cover the sides of Vthe cushion,1Y
