  • Ano-ther object is to provide a iixture of the above type the separate constituentelements of which may be packed into crates or shipping cases o'l" small volume for shipment to the user, but Which may yet be assembled and installed Without the need for special precaution or skill in correlating the component parts, and which can be taken down for purposes of removal, Without destruction oi' any of sai-d parts and Without disliguring the room or store in Which it has been installed.
  • a feature of the invention is the provision ot a. primary elementillustratively a stool which preferably includes a pedestal, or a mounting platform in iront of the stool which may also support the toot rests, and in addition serve as a carrier lor an accessory box thercbelow and it desired also as a holder 'for uprights sustaining a hand rail and a shield.
  • the primary element is directly secured to the floor or other part of the building structure of the sliep, and the other o'l said elements are attached directly to said primary element and have parts braced directly against the 'l'loor or o-ther structure oit the shop. Accordingly screw holes or other securing means need be made for but one of trie constituent parts ot the installation.
  • the pedestal of the stool which is screwed at its base to the floor, and the mounting froth is removably attached to the pedestal, and has struts or legs Which are placed under coinpressiou directly against the -floor to provide a steady construction.
  • These struts may be in the form of sleeves that serve for mounting the uprights Which sustain the hand rail and shield.

  • the upright posts (21) for the hand rail (22) preferably extend through the bosses of the platform and through the height of the struts (31) which shown, are in the form of sleeves.
  • a set screw (33) 'through the socket (32) and the boss (30) engaging the upright (21) is preferred for enhanced security, even though each of the uprights 1s tightly fitted in the corresponding boss and strut.
  • the hand rail (22) is mounted in the horizontal arms of elbow pieces (46) the vertical arms of which are slipped over the upper ends of the posts.
  • a sheet metal border ring (41) is provided in order to conceal the lugs (12) and their fastening screws (13) that secure the pedestal base to the floor.
  • the ring (41) is formed with an integral clamp lug protruding inward therefrom to slip under a corresponding outwardly extending lug integral with the rim'of the pedestal base. Both lugs are inclined, so that the ring is tightened to the base by turning it until its lug (42) becomes securely wedged under lug (43).
  • a similar border ring (44) with a skirt (45) serves to conceal lugs (25) and screw head (26).
  • Ring (45) has a block (47) cast therewith andV resting upon the head of screw (26) and the forward part of the ring is cut away at its lower edge as at (43) when it rests upon the platform frame (16).
  • the screw head (26) being on a level with platform (16) ring (44) will rest horizontally as shown, and will not become displaced though it be loosely mounted as shown.

  • Circular cushions (14) and (15) are frictionally held respectively in the frame of the seat, and of the back rest. Vith the arrangement de* scribed, ⁇ the cushions are interchangeable which is an advantage, although ofcourse not essential to the invention.
  • the metal shield (23) maybe ailixed to the upright (21), by means of clamp rings (60) encircling said uprights. These clamp rings are securedl as at (61') to trapezoidal wings (61) formed integral with the width of the shield, which thus extends obliquely forward and downward.
  • the space under the platform is preferably used for a slidable drawer' (20) to house the polish, wax brushes, rags and other accessories (not shown).
  • This drawer which is preferably provided with suitable compartment walls (62) and with a hand hole. (63) slides in a metal casing (64) which in turn is secured by bolts (65) to depending lugs (66) integral with the panel (18). rlhe panel and drawer case thus constitute a subassembly which simply rests on the platform ledge f(117) with the bottom of the case above the oor.
  • the ring (44) is next passed over the pedestal and simply laid upon the lugs (25) and the head of screw (26) to conceal the latter.
  • the seat frame (50) is slipped over the top of the pedestal and secured in position by the screw (55) whereupon the cushions (14) and (15) can be positioned.
  • the posts (21), hand rail (22) and shield (23) may be assembled in position by simply inserting the lower ends of the posts through respective bosses (30) and struts (31), into contactwith the floor as shown, whereupon the set screws (38) are tightened.
  • the foot rests (19) preferably are applied to the platform frame prior to attaching the latter.
  • rllhis receiver preferably comprises a cylindrical tube closed at its bottom by a cap (71) and having a bell shaped top (72) telescoped therein at its throat (73) through which the ashes drop.
  • the ash receiver is preferably removably mount ed in a holder casting, (74) having an anch-or ring ('75) encircling one or the other upright (21) and tightened by a set screw (76).
  • the holder (74) extends directly under the uppermost of the clips (60) that fasten the shield (23) to the upright.
  • the stool for the operator is only roughly sho-wn, as it is preferably of construction quite similar to that of my ccpending applica tion Serial No. 161,497 filed January 17, 1927. It need merely be noted that this stool embodies an oblique panel (65) and has an electric motor (66) preferably mountedunder the seat (67) thereof, and controlled from a snap switch (68) at the forward part of the seat.
  • the motor drives through a transmission (not shown) in baclr of the panel (65) and a flexible shaft (G9) which mounts a rotary brush (70) at its outer end and is affixed at its inner end upon a stub shaft (71) protruding from the panel (65).
  • the rotary brush may be of the construction shown in my copending application above identified, I prefer a brush of the specific character disclosed and claimed in my copending application Serial No. 294,673 filed July 23, 1928.
  • the seating installation described is made up of simple and rugged parts of relatively small cost, easily proe **d in quant-ity manufacture, readily packed in disassembled condition without excessive waste of space and installed with utmost facility. No special construction of the building or store is required nor is any difculty encountered in mounting the installation. A few screw holes merely need be bored in the floor. No measurements are required in mounting ⁇ or installing ⁇ the device, as would be necessary if the chair and the platform kand the posts. for instance, had to be separately mounted directly upon the floor nor are any braces or reinforces required. The mounting of the pedestal to the floor and the fastening of the other parts with respect to the pedestal renders the arrangement particularly expeditious yet extremely secure. The parts are in effect self braced. The installation is, moreover, highly attractive in appearance.
