UNITED STATES PATENT Drrrcn.
JOHN E. WAKEFIELD, OF WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO EDWARD W. VAILL, OF SAME PLACE.
IMPROVEMENT IN FOLDING CHAIRS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 164,060, dated June 1, 1875; application filed April 6, 1875.
OAsE No. 1.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN E. WAKEFIELD, of Worcester, in the State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Folding Chairs, of which the following is a specification:
This chair is made with X legs and a back, but, instead of the X-legs being pivoted together, as heretofore, they are connected by metallic links near the crossing-place, and the upper ends of the back legs are connected to arm-pieces. When the chair is folded the armpieces swing downward at their front ends, and the frame forming the back legs is carried bodily downward until the swinging of the links causes the said back-leg frame to assume a position parallel, or nearly so, tothe back,
and hence the chair occupies but little space in transportation.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section of the chair in position for use; and Fig. 2- represents the same as nearly folded.
The side pieces 11 are connected by the crossrails or stretchers e f g, and form the back of the chair and the front legs.- The back legs a are connected by the stretchers I) c, and the flexible seat 0 is between the stretchers c and f. The arm-pieces hare pivoted at'their upper ends to the side pieces d, and at their lower ends to the top of the rear legs a at or near the stretcher c, and the links l extend from a to 01, near where the said legs cross each other.
When in use these legs a d cross each other in the form of the letter X, and the chair is firm; but, when lifted and folded, the rear-leg frame ab swings downwardly as the links Z and arms h swing upon the pivots by which they are attached to the sicles d of the back frame, and the relative positions and lengths of the parts are such that the chair folds into theposition shown in Fig. 2, and the frames close together, and in line, or nearly so, with each other, and occupy but a small space in transportation.
I claim as my invention The frames a, b, c, and d e f, connected together by the arm-pieces h, links I, and flexible seat 0, and swinging in the manner specified while the chair is being folded, as set forth.
Signed by me this 21th day of March, A. D. 1875.
