R. E. CROSS SWINGING ARTICLE OF FURNITURE Filed March 4 1920 Patented Dec. 11, 1923.
UNITE O FFIC E- RAYMOND E. CROSS, OF NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY.
SWINGING- ARTICLE OF FURNITURE.
Application filed March 4, 1920. Serial No. 363,269.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, RAYMOND E. CRoss, a citizen of the United States, residing at New Brunswick, in the county of Middlesex and State ofv New Jersey,have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Swinging Articles of Furniture, of which the follow-v entirety it can be suspended from any suit able support.
It is so designed as to be especially adapt- .ed for use on vehicles, such as automobiles, and is mainly intended for comfortably supporting an infant ineither of several positions, and can be placed relatively to the neighboring parts of the vehicle in such way as not to inconvenience the occupants.
Fig. 1 is a side view showing some of the parts of a vehicle and also the manner of applying the present article of furniture thereto.
Fig. 2 is a perspective of the article when its parts are so adjusted as to provide a cradle-like support for an infant.
Fig. 3 is a perspective showing the parts in the positions occupied when they are adjusted to provide a suspended chair-like article.
Fig. 4 is a sectional view of one of the two sections.
Fig. 5 is a section on a longitudinal vertical plane through the parts when arranged to serve as a chair.
Fig. 6 is a similar section showing the parts when adjusted to form 'a cradle.
Fig. 7 illustrates a modified way of attaching the upper end of the suspension device.
Figs. 8 and 9 illustrate a modification of the suspending device which as an entirety is a modification of those shown in Fig. 1.
The article herein presented comprises two main sections, A and B. Each of these is approximately rectangular in plan view,
the section A having straight parallel side bars 1,1 and curved end bars 2, 2; the sect1on B also having side bars 1 1, and
1 are extended beyond the transverse planes of the curved cross bar 2,. providing exten-' slons 4, 4; and the side bars 1, 1 are extended beyond the curved cross bar 21, forming similar extensions 4-: At each'side the adjacent or companion extensions 4, 4 are hinged together as shown at 5. The hinges.
may be of any suitable sort. As shown, one of the bars on each; side of section A .is formed with a socket having two parallel lips 6, 6, and the bar 1 on each side of section B is formed with a tongue 7, adapted to slip between the flanges or lips 6, and be.
pivoted thereto bypin 8 passing through apertures in the parts 6 and 7.
To the side bars and to the end bars of the rectangular frame of each section A and B there is secured a sheet 9 of strong heavy fabric, such as canvas, or the like. It is tightly fastened and furnishes a support which is concavo-convex throughout the entire length of the article.
At the corner 3, 3 links or eyeletslO are secured to the frame'bars. They are adapted to be connected with the hooks 11, which are carried by links or straps 12 at one end of the article, and straps 12 at the other end. upper ends, are connected to spiral springs 13, 13, at the ends of the artic1e,,respectively, the springs 111mm having hooks 14,
14 at their ends. 7 By means of-these hooks,
or equivalent attaching devices, the article,
as an entirety, maybe suspended from any suitable superjacent support.
To permit either of the outer ends of The straps or links, at their sectionsA and B be supported in a tndsdiagonally, from its eyelet17, inward .towardthe'center 015131 6 cradle, and crosses other. The eyelets 17 respectively engage with eyelets 17 secured respectively to. the side bars 1 of the section AL And the hooks 18 atthe other end of the rods or bars 16 can be respectively engaged with'eyes 19,
secured on the cross hana jof the section The two eyes 19, 19 are rigidly fastened to,
the cidS S', bar at pgt ints near its center.
When the bracing or locking rodsglfiare,
in the ositio s shawnl in F g-..,2' e c exthe plane offthe Icurved ban 2, 2 and is r ly" stenedini jeye .194. Thev r d when so, positioned loclgthe sections A and.
Bur ahsfiment nd prevent. as aejacent end parts from, swinging downward n rjelation.to eachother. a
Thetwo side barsl 1 ofthe section B are provided with two. pairs ofeyes at 20, 20 and. 20?, 2.09. The eyesof each pair are equallydistant from the corners 3 3 but the pairs are at di ferent distances .from' said corners.
Whenit is desired to convert: the; article into a ChalI-llkQQdGVlQG IhQ section B is left in its horizontal, position, and-ithe section A is moved around the hinge points 5, 5 toan inclined position or to" an. upright one, as pre e r d. 'i f it is o r ma n ne nedth hooks 18 o'f the bars 1.6,respedtively, are engaged with the eyelets 209,20, andtherea-fter the sections A and .B will be rigidly 1 held in the desired angular "relation. If the back part A is to be heldmore nearly vertical the rods 16, 16. are engaged. with the eyelets 20,2 0., .Of these eyelets 20, 20?, there may, be as many pairs as are required to meet any desired anglesof I inclination.
lVhen the parts are adjusted to form a chair,as just described, it isnecessary to;
change the length ofthe suspending devices at the end of one of the sections A or B, that is either to shorten the suspending devices at the outer :end of section-Aer lengthen thoseat the outer end of section B. To ac-.
complish the former, the hook it is fastened to ahigher link in the chain .15 or to a hook on, therOOf, frame. ,The chains gare each mad eta u fic entnjumbe Qf' inkate p she ten nger leng hening: the finan from the tieee: 12s herootpr-to thefin labstee ntsappert as mayihi deman ed:
Theeradla-like uppo ting elements-tan:
if preferred, be suspended by devices difiering from those above described such as illus trated in Figs. 7, 8 and 9. 21 indicates strap loops which can be fastened over one of the rib bars of the cover of a vehicle without requiring screw or rivet apertures in the rib. To these loops the springs: 13, 13 above described can be readily connected by means of a suitablenumber of-chain links, as shown in Fig. 7 the springs at their lower ends being attached t'o'straps 12 12, as above set forth, 22 indicate extensible straps, as substitute for the link chains 15, these straps being perforated. and provided with buckles to, permit fastening their ends after shortening or lengthening. When such straps are used -,they, can; be. connected by 10013 51310 thelower endsof the, springs 13, and-by meausof snap hooks 24 be connected to the cradle-like element. ,The springs 18'1naybe connected to the-top loops 21, by eyes 25 which permit ready attachment.
A aboire tated, the ticle h r pres d? :is particularly.well adapted for use in an automob le forth s ppor ing of inf n ts d sign and constru ti n ar ch ha all of its parts ,caubefolded together so that as an entiretypit occupies but little space and can be readily placed under aseat or in other small storage chamber, .It is composed of two substantially similar, counterpart sections, .each having a'botto-m element which is tion, beingat .eachof its outer corners supported by; an independent suspending: device sothatthe bottom element, whenin use will be heldon lines relatively fixed in their direction, and; will be prevented from twisting;

permanently concavoeconvex bottom element,
and said sectionsubeing hinged together at their adj acentinner ends and adapted to be folded one upon the other, in combination with four independent extensible suspending; devices, each connected to an outer corner of a-loottom element, and all adapted to extend vertically in parallelism from said elements to rigid superjacent supports and to headdependently of each other.
