CONVERTIBLE, CHAIR.
Application filed December 19, 1923. Serial No. 681,464.
adapting said drawers into a leg and foot support for the occupant of the seat of the chair, means fOr limiting the outer motion of the drawer from saidgbase, and a back which is angularly adjustable on the body of the chair and adapted to allow access to the bedstead on either side thereof and place said back close to a wall in the apartment in which the chair is located.
The invention is satisfactorily illustrated in the accompanying drawing, but the important instrumentalit-ies thereof may be varied, and so it is to be understood that the invention is not limitedto the specific details shown and described, as long as they are within the scope of the claim.
Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a chair embodying my invention.
Figure 2 represents a central longitudinal vertical section thereof on line 22 Figure 1.
Figure 3 represents a top plan view of the chair converted into a bedstead or couch.
Figure 4 represents a rear view of a portion of Figure 1.
Figure 5 represents a vertical section of a portion on line 55 Figure 3.
Figure 6 represents a vertical section of a portion on line 6-6 Figure 2.
Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures.
Referring to the drawings.
1 designates a chair which is composed of the seat 2, the hollow base 3, the laterally movable sides 4, and rests 5, the adjustable back 6, the brackets 7 with recesses 8, and the rod 9 which is adapted to be seated in either of therecesses 8 whereby said back 6 may be angularly adjustable after the order of the well known morris chair.
In the base 8 is the drawer 10 which is adapted for the storage of bed clothing and other desired articles, said drawer being open at the top whereby said clothing and articles may be inserted into and removed from the drawer, it being noticed that said base is open in front and the drawer may be withdrawn therethrough and placed in front of the same, so as to form a leg and foot rest for the occupant of the seat 2, the front end of the drawer having connected ED STATES PATENT orrlca c therewith the legs 11 which may rest on the 7 floor and support said end, as shown in Figure In this case the open top of the drawer requires 'to have thereon supports for the or a cushion. F or this purpose, the upper ct of the sides of said drawer have therein thereccsses 12 in which may be fitted the slats 13 which when not in use rear terminals of the grooves 14 abut the studs 15 and so form stops which prevent disconnection of the drawer from the base, as shown dotted in Figure 2. When the drawer is within the base, its front wall closes the front of the base.
The seat 2 is formed of laterally movable slats 16 which alternate each other and are movably supported on thebase 3, they being connected respectively with the sides 4, so as to be drawn out to the right and left, when the chairis to be converted into a bedstead, as shown in Figure 8. In this case, there are spaces in between the drawn out seats. These are filled by extra slats 17 which are adapted to be connected with the sides 4 by the studs 18 on the said'slats 17, and slotted plates 19 on said sides 4 and have on their inner ends the studs 20 which are adapted to be fitted in the sides of the base to prevent improper disconnection of the slats 17 from said base, all as shown in Figure 5. I
When the chair is converted into a bedstead, it is desirable that the back 6 should be removed so that the bedstead as converted is accessible from either side thereof, see Figure 8, and one side may be placed close to a wall if so desired. To this end ration of the leaves of the hinges, all as most plainly shown in Figure 4.
When the back is to be removed, the pintles 28 are turned upwardly when the crank handles 24 are moved from the stop pins when said pintles may be withdrawn, as shown by the dotted lines in said Figure 4:, the pintles of the hinges then being disconnected and the back (3 detached from the body of the chair. v
Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to secure by Let ters Patent, is
in a chair of the character stated, a back, means for enabling said back to be entirely removed from the chair in the formation of a bed, legs, side frame members and a seat extending therebetween, composed of slats alternately arranged and movable outwardly in opposite directions when bed is to be formed, a combined drawer and foot rest slidably mounted between said side frame members and below the seat of said chair, comprising a bottom, front, rear and side walls and legs at each of the front cor- 11ers of said drawer shorter than the legs of said chair, means for limiting the out-- ward movement of said drawer and for per- I mitting the latter to incline downwardly when open, the top edges of the side walls of said drawer having corresponding and aligned recesses and removable transverse foot rest members having their ends seated within said recesses, and adapted to be removed therefrom and to be contained in said drawer when the latter is closed.
