LimonCOUNTERl sTooL. i
Application led September 13, 1926. Serial No. 135,102.
My invention relates to counter stools and has for its principal object to provide a de vice of that character which may be per-` manently anchored in a floor to maintain constant relative arrangement ot' the stool with a counter' or the like, which may be easily erected and assembled and as easily and quickly dismantled should it be desired tolremove the stool after its installation.
ln accomplishing these objects I have provided improved details of structure, the preferred forms otI which are illustratedA in the accompanying drawings, wherein Fig. l is aperspective View in central, vertical section, of a counter stool embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detail perspective view of part ot' the pedestal and the seat pintle bushing, in central longitudinal scction. y
Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of a part of the pedestal,l the bushing and the seat with its pintle, parts being broken away Ytor better illustration.
Referring more in detail to the drawings,
1 designates vthe tloor upon which the stool is mounted, either singly or in group, here shown to be constructed of concrete to illustrate adapt-ation ot' the stool to modern building construction, and 2 an anchor plate embedded in the lioor and provided with a vertical threaded aperture 3. 4 designates an anchor rod, the lower end of which is embedded in the floor and threaded into the anchor plate 2 to tix the rod permanently to the floor, the rod rising perpendicularly and terminating slightly below the level ofl the stool seat in a threaded upper end 5. Fitting over the anchor rod 4 is a pedestal 6, preferably ot cast metal, having a tubular standard portion 7, a liared base .flange 8 seating on the floor and anchored thereto byi. a suitable device such as the screw 9,7and a flanged upper rim 10 counterbored to form the shouldered seat 11. ,Y i
The pedestal standardv is provided, near its top, with an inwardly; directed flange 12, forming a seat for a pintle bushing 13. The pintle bushing may be chambered throughout part of its length to redlice the bearing surface for the pintle and provide a grease chamber, and has a. threaded socket atits lower end whereby it is attached vto the top of the anchor. rod 4:Y and drawn snugly against the seat flange 12, the bushing being of suiicient diameter to snugly fit the upper portion of the pedestal and having a flange l-t at its upper end, located Within the counterbored seat 11 in the rim flange of the pedestal; the bushing being of such length as to provide support on both the seatl flange 12 and shouldered seat 11, and being centrally bored to provide a bearing for the seat pintle 15.
16 designates ythe seat portion of the stool, preferably comprising a cast metal frame vot' suitable design and provided with inturned ears 17 to which a spider 18 is re` movably secured by bolts or the like 19.
The pintle 15, heretofore mentioned, is lixed to the center of the spider 18 and the spider is provided concentrically Iwith the pintle with a boss 20constituting the bearing portion .of the seat. The pintle is of sutlicicnt length to extend substantially into its bushing in thel top of the pedestal and ot' suchdiameter that it may rotate in its lnearing in the bushing Wit-hout lost motion, in order that a person yoccupying the stool may turn freely to and from the counter. To prevent wear on the permanent portions of the structure I interpose one or more libre or like washers 21 upon the pintle and between the pedestal cap and the boss on the' seat spider, so that the seat member does not come into direct contact with the pedes tal but is separated therefrom by the Washers; consequent-ly rotative movement is between the washers or between the Washers and one ot' the permanent stool members and there is no direct contact of the metal seat spider with the metalpedestal.
lFitting within the frame 16 is a seat 22, preferably of upholstered, wooden, frame construction to provide a comfortable seat and also adapt the seat for permanent connection with the spider 18, by screws or the like- (not shown) which may be projected through apertures 23 inthe spider into the wooden members of the seat frame'. p
Thev seatportion of the stool is provided with a back rest-24; comprising standards.
25 and across .member 26, both ofA which are preferably, cast integral with the seat frame 16. v
Assuming the parts'to be constructed as described, and the anchorplate 2. located within the floor, it is` apparent thatthe stool may easily and 'quickly' assembled by projecting the lower endf of the anchor-rodV lio' through an aperture 1n the floor, provided for that purpose, and threading the lower end of the rod into the embedded anchor plate and fitting the pedestal overthe anchor rod and attaching the base flange of the pedestal to the floor by the screw 9. The pintle bushing is preferably assembled with the pedestal at the point of manufacture and the pintle similarly assembled with the seat spider. The spider is preferably attached to the seat frame at the point of erection, and when so assembled may be applied to the pedestal by merely dropping the pintle into its bushing. The seat proper may be attached to the spider Y,Within the seat frame after the other parts have been assembled and erected.
With thc parts' so assembled, a customer may turn the stool so that he can seat himself thereon and then turn the stool about to face the counter, the seat turning readily on its pintle mounting, but the Washer support preventing a too free or spinning movement of an unoccupied stool.
It is further apparent that a stool of this construction is economical in manufacture, easily and quickly assembled, and sightly in appearance, features that are not to' be disregarded in consideration of the employment of such a device. Y
What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
1. A stool of the character described, comprising a tubular pedestal having an interior flange and a shouldered seat at its upper end, a bushing within the pedestal seated upon the interior flange and having a rim flange located in said shouldered seat, a seat member rotatably mounted on the pedestal and having a pintle journalled in said bushing, and a Wear member interposed between said member and the pedestal about the pintle.
1 2. In a stool of the character described, a
tubular pedestall having a base flange and a L rotatably supported on the pedestal, and a i pintle on said seat member, extending into and journalled inthe bushing.
In testimony whereof 1 affix my signa! ture.
