To all whom 'it may concern:
Beit known that I, CHARLES L. VoLGEI-t, of lihnington, in the county of New Castle and State of Delaware, have invented a new and Improved Foot-Lounge; and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification, in which drawing- Figure l represents a longitudinal vertical section of my invention. Fig. 2l is a plan or top view of the same.
Similar letters indicate correspondin g parts.
This invention relates to a foot-lounge composed of an inclined platform supported at its high end by springs, and provided at its low end with a foot-board, in such a manner that, by said platform, a convenient and yielding rest for the legs is obtained, while the foot board retains the feet in a convenient position, and prevents the legs from sliding down on the inclined platform.
1n the drawing, the letter A designates a platform which is arranged in an inclined position, its high end being supported by a stand-- ard, B, which rests upon springs C, so that the same is rendered elastic and yielding. From the low end of the platform A rises a footboard, D, so that when a person sits in a chair and places his or her legs upon the inclined platform A said platform forms a convenient support for the legs, while the feet bear against the foot-board and prevent the legs from sliding down upon said platform.
The platform A is upholstered, so that it presents a soft beariiig-surface for the legs, and the foot-board D may also be partially or wholly upholstered on its vinner surface, so as to increase the comfort of my toot-lounge, and to impart to it a handsome and rich appearance.
The low end of the platform A is supported by a standard, E, of convenient height, and the whole device may be considered as a substitute for afoot-stool, while it forms, at the same time, a very comfortable support for the legs.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination, in a foot-lounge, of the. inclined platform A, springs C, and foot-board D, substantially as described, for the purpose specified.
2. The combination of the inclined platform A, foot-board D, standard B, and springs C, constructed and arranged substantially as de scribed, for the purpose specified.
CHARLES L. VOLGER.
