Description
UNITED STATES PATENT Friend JOSEPH H. TRAVIS, A OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
.. IMPROVEMENT IN FOOT-REVSTS FOR CII-IAIRS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 168,298, dated September 28, 1875; application filed October 26, 1874.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH H. TRAVIS, o Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Chairs, of which the following is a specification This invention relates to that class of chairs having a rest for the legs of the occupant, which rest, when not to be used, can be placed under the chair-seat, within the supporting frame-work thereof.
My invention consists in the combinationwith a leg-rest carried by a sliding frame, arranged beneath the seat of the chair, of a loop attached to the leg-rest in such a manner that when the sliding frame is drawn out from beneath the seat the leg-rest will automatically locate itself in an inclined position in front of the chair, as will be hereinafter ,described.
Figure 1 is a vertical section from front to rear of a chair with the leg-rest out for use. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section on line w as, Fig. 1, with the under side of leg-rest attachment in inverted plan view. Fig. 3 is a similar View to Fig. 1, but partial in extent, showing the leg-rest laid in its carrying-frame, to be slid under the chair-seat.
In the drawings, A represents an ordinary chair, B being the back, 0 the seat, and D the .leg or supporting frame-work; E, the leg-rest, and F the frame carrying it. The frame 'F travels in and out on fixed guiderods a of the leg frame-work D, and these rods a. incline downwardly from the front to therear of the chair. G are supports fixed near the front H of the chair, in position for the resting thereon of the side rails of the frame F. The leg-rest E is between the side rails b 'of its carrying-frame, and it is attached thereto, so that when drawn out its inner end can be placed at the front of the chair-seat, as
shown.
This attachment. of leg-rest E to carrying frame is as follows: 0 are two elongatedstaples or loops fixed on under side of legrest E, and receiving a common cross-rod, d,
of the frame F; f, hooks hung by their stems or shanks 9 one each side of the legrest E; and g are staples," one on the inner side of each side rail b of the frame F. These staples gare set inclining to the length of the frame-rails b, (see Fig. 1,) and they receive and guide the hooks f, together with the stem prolongations h beyond them.
The elongated staplesc allow the leg-rest E to be considerablyprojected beyond the outer end of carrying-frame F, (see Fig. 1,) and to be laid substantially within the carrying-frame. (See Fig. 3.) The described projection of the leg-rest with the rest out is desirable, as is well known in this class of chairs, and, besides, underthe arrangement shown, it allows the weight of the leg-rest to automatically lift its inner end into position at the front of the chair-seat, .to make the leg-rest substantially a continuation of the chair-seat. V
The hooks f, as the leg-rest is automatically thrown up, as above described, catch on the upper wall I of the staples g, and stop its upward movement, and when the leg-rest is pushed down to be laid within its carryingframe, and the whole laid away under the chair-seat, the stem prol'ongations h of hooks f, together with the lower wall m of the staples g, dispose and hold the hooks in a horizontal position. (See Fig. 3.)
The operation of this improved 1eg-rest,
other than that just above described, is the same substantially as in other well-known chairs to which leg-rests are applied, to be located under and placed in front of the chairseat, and, therefore, it needs no particular deseat shall be on the leg-rest and its carryin'g- 2. The hooks fand staples g, in combinaframe, as then the chair-seat front is not distion with the leg-rest E audits carrying-frame figured. F, all arranged together upon a chair, for
Having thus described my invention, 1 will operation as described, for the purpose specistate my claims as follows: fied.
