GAR-SEAT ,HEAnB-nsr.
Application filed July 13,- 1922. satin No. 574,766.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, FRANoIs C. HALL, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, a citizen of the United States, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Car-Seat Headrests, of which the following is a specification.
The object of my invention is to provide a head rest for use by passengers in the usual day coach so that the passenger may occupy a reclining position, and thus travel more comfortably than sitting upright, and to provide a rest for that purpose which may be readily attached to and detached from the car seat and which when not in use may be folded into a very compact form so that it may easily be carried by the passenger. My invention consists in whatever is described by or included within the meaning or scope of the appended claims.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of my invention arranged for use;
Fig. 2 is a similar view of another embodiment of my invention;
Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a construction of collapsible arm engaging support that may be used;
Fig. 4 is a side elevation of another embodiment of my invention arranged for use.
Briefly described my invention comprehends the use of a sling that may be suspended at its end so as to extend in a direction from front to the back of the seat so that a person occupying the seat and lying or sitting lengthwise thereof may rest his head in or upon such sling which is made of webbing of suflicient width to give a comfortable support to the head or neck.
In the embodiment of my invention shown in Fig. 1 the sling, 10, stretches between the backs, 11, of two adjacent car seats, and is supported by each of such backs by means of a strap that is suitably anchored at the bottom of the back, 11, and thence extends up over the back and across the top edge thereof. One of said straps is designated, 12, and has at one end a metal clip, 13, to which the strap end is connected at the middle of the clip so that when the clip is thrust lengthwise from the front of the back through the space between its bottom and the car seat said clip may be turned to a vertical position to lap partly over the back of the car. seat and the rear side of the seat back, 11, the strap, 12, being carried up over the front sideof the seat back, 11, and
by means of a hook, 14:, is engaged with a loop, 15, on the front end of the sling, 10. A similar loop, 16, on the rear end of the sling, 10, is likewise engaged by a hook, 17, on the upper end of a strap, 18, which extends over the top of the seat back, 11, next in rear of the seat back over which the front strap, 12, has passed, and said strap '18, extends downward over the rear side of the seat back, 11, to which it is applied, and passing between the bottom of said 'seat back and the car seat is anchored by a'clip or anchor device, 19, that has portions too thick to pass through the space between the bottom of the seat back and the top of the seat. Said clip or anchor device-may be of wire having a straight portion to which the strap end is secured and at each side of the strap having a ring too large in diameter to pass through the space between the seat back and the seat.
The sling, 10, is made of two folds of webbing that lie one over the other but are free and pass loosely through the loops, 14C, and 16 (being narrowed where they pass through the loops) so that being thus loose or free one portion may be slipped sidewise over the other and thus a wider bearing for the neck or head is afforded than would be the case with a single width of webbing.
The hook connection between the front strap, 12, and the sling, 10, permits ready detachment so that if one within the seat should desire'to pass out or oneshould desire to pass in from the aisle, the obstacle to such passage could be readily removed.
In the form of my invention shown in Fig. 2 the sling 100, is supported wholly from the car seat arm, 20, by means of two standards, 21, that are detachably connected or mounted on said arm, 20, and which may be made of wire bent to form parallel vertical members connected by cross-bars, the topmost cross-bar, 22, affording means for attachment of the end of the sling. The standards, 21, are collapsible so that when not in use they may be folded compactly, this being accomplished by making the standard of two sections which are hinged together at midheight. As shownin Fig. 3 the standard 210, may be formed of two sections as in Fig 2 but slidable one upon the other instead of hinged, and notches, 23, being provided in the vertical members of the upper section which are adapted to engage ratchet like with a cross-bar, 24, at
the top of the other section so that adjustment for height of the sling is possible.
In the form of my invention shown in Fig. 1, the sling, 200, is supported at one end by a standard, 211, mounted on the arm of the car seat as in Fig. 2, and at the other end by a'strap, 180, which is secured to the back of the same car seat, similarly to the strap, 18, shown in Fig. 1.
Recurring to what is shown in Fig. 3 if desired a brace may be provided to connect the two standards, 210, so as to separate the latter against tendency to swing inward under weight on the swing. Such brace may consist of two similar straps, 211, which respectively are hinged at one end to a crossbar, 212, at the bottom of the upper section of the standard and which overlap one another and are slidably connected by a screw clamp, 213 and a slot 214, in one strap so that when desired the brace may be collapsed when the head rest is not to be used. The
two standards, 210, at the bottom are hinged to a frame, 215, of wire which when the device is in use rests upon the top of the car seat arm. In collapsing the head rest the upper sections of the standards are pushed down as far as they will go, the screw and clamp, 213 is relaxed and the two standards, 210, are folded over one upon the other upon their hinged connection with the bottom frame, 215.
What I claim is:
1. A head rest comprising a sling, separated means for suspending the sling to extend in the direction forward of a car seat, one of said means including a strap that passes 'from the top of the car seat back downward and having a device to interlock with the bottom edge of such back, and a detachable connection between the strap and the sling.
2. A head rest comprising a sling and suspending means at each end of the sling comprising a strap that passes from the top of the car seat back downward and having means to interlock with the bottom edge of such back.
In testimony whereof I hereunto aflix my signature.
