LOCKER SEAT.
Application filed June 23, 1922. Serial No. 570,510;
metal lockers, cabinets and closets, either portable or permanent, adapted to contain articles of personal apparel, as a business suit. overcoat, hat, shoes, etc, etc., tempo-' rarily laid aside or exchanged for sporting costumes, bathing or work suits and the like, and in which the ordinary clothing is safely held until again required.
The main object of the invention is to proprovide a convenient and comfortable seat for the person using the locker whereby the change of clothing is greatly facilitated.
A further purpose is to. combine and arrange the seat with reference to the door of the locker, so that the same will always L: be ready of access, preventing displacement, confusion and question as to proprietorship.
Another aim is to arrange the seat so that in its normal, unoccu ied position, it will be automatically close y folded against the :10 interior of the locker door, thereby occupying no appreciable space thereinwhen not in use. and none whatever on the outside. 7
These and other kindred objects are socured by the novel construction and arranges merit. of elements hereafter described and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, forming a material part of'this disclosure, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the front of a conventional locker. the door being open and the referred embodiment of the invention attacled in position for use.
Figure 2 is a front view of the same, the door and seat. appearing in vertical section.
Figure 3 is a similar front view, but showing the seat as folded against the door.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary front view of the door and seat extended outwardly therefrom.
Figure 5 is a partial sectional elevational view showing a modified seat construction.
Figure 6 is a fragmentary vertical sectional view of the same.
The general construction of the locker is conventional, consisting of said walls 15 and 16 and a rearwall 17 engaging a fixed cover 18, the front of the structure being open.
The several plates constituting the walls are reenforced at their edges by angle irons 19 and 20, the former extending from top to bottom thereof and to some distance below constituting legs 21 on which the cabinet is supported, a bottom plate 22 engaging the legs at the lower edges of'the side and rear plates, acting, as a floor, and obviously, shelves (not shown) may be extended from wall to wall at suitable heights, and at the lower side edges and front are riveted reen forcing strips-23 forming a rigid structure.
.Engaged by hinges 24 to one of the sides is a door 25 having inturned flanged edges 26 adapted to fit closely between the front re-enforcemeuts 19 and a catch or look may be provided to secure the door against intrusion.
The invention consists in the application of a seat to the door as will now be described.
The seat 30 consists of a rectangular sheet of metal, preferably perforated, as at 31, the seat being so proportioned as to be received between the door flanges 26 and extenls outward sufiiciently to be comfortably use A pair of hinges 33 and 31 connectthe rear edge of the seat with a plate 35 fixed securely to the inner side of the door in a manner to permit the seat to be folded upward alongside and combined with one of the hinges, as 34, is a torsional spring 36 adapted to exert sufficient force to raise the seat when desired.
Engaged at the front corners of the seat are a pair of brackets 37 in which are pivoted legs 38 of suitable length to rest upon the floor when the seat is extended horizontally, these legs being connected by a cross bar 39 and terminate in buffer feet -10, and each leg is pivotally engaged by side bars 41, in turn pivoted in brackets 42 fixed on the inside of the door 2-5.
To use the seat, the door 25 is unlocked and swung open upon its hinges, displaying the seat and legs in a raised position. as shown in Figure 3 and held snugly against the inside of the door by a pivoted clip 43.
Upon releasing the clip, grasping the seat and swinging it forward and outward from the door, the legs. 38 will automatically extend and eventually contact with the floor on which the locker stands, affording a secure and convenient seat on which a person may sit while changing clothes which are accessible from the interior of the locker without moving oil the seat.
After use the spring returns the seat to its upright position, in which condition little room is required in the locker space.
Inthe modification shown in Figures 5 and 6, the scat 45is formed with downwardly extending marginal flanges on all four edges, the same fitting between the flanges '26 where they are held by a rod 47, fixed in fications may well be made without depart-' .ing from the spirit and scope of our invention in its broadest aspect.
Having thus described our invention what we claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In combination with an all metal locker for clothes having legs at its corners, and a door hinged to cover its entire front, said door extending from the tops of the legs to the top of the locker, of a seat hinged directly to the inner side of said door, a spring associated with the seat hinge to normally raise the seat, legs hinged at the front corners of said seat, said legs when extended reaching to the level of the lower ends of the locker legs, a bar rigidly connecting between said legs, and bars hinged to the door at one end and pivoted to the legs at their opposite end, said pivoted bars folding normally close against said door below said seat when raised.
This specification signed and witnessed so this 20th day of June, 1922.
