UNITED STATES EMIL A. ERICKSON, OF CANBY, MINNESOTA.
STOOL FOR LUNCH COUNTERS.v
Application led February 4, 1927. Serial No. 165,871.
This invention relates to a stool or chair and especially to a stool or chair used in connection with a counter' such as a lunch counter. It is now a common practice to have stools or chairs arranged along the lunch counter which the patrons occupy when being size of the individual using the saine.
It is an object of this invention, therefore, to provide a stool or chair for a lunch counter which is movable in relation to the counter to suit different individuals.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a stool or chair for a lunch counter having a base which is held in iixed position and having a seat portion which is movable towards and from the counter.
It is more specifically an object of the invention to provide a stool 0r chair for a V lunch counter having a base fixed to the floor and a standard rising therefrom'V and having a seat portion which is slidable in said standard portion and from said counter, and which also preferably has guiding means in said standard.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention will be fully set forth in the following description made in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which like reference characters refer to similar parts throughout the several views and in which Fig. 1 is a view in side elevation of the stool, a portion of the counter being shown in vertical section;
Fig. 2 is a horizontal sec-tion taken on line 2-2 of Fig. 1, as indicated by the arrows; and
Fig. 3 is a vertical section taken on line 3 3 of Fig. 1 as indicated by the arrows.
Referring to the drawings, in Fig. 1 a portion of a counter is shownk having the front side 5 and the top 6. A stool is provided having a base member 7 shown as circular in form and secured to the floor or other supporting surface 8 by the screws 7b. The base portion 7 has a central upstanding hub iL in which is secured the standard 9 which rises from said base member. The standard 9 is somewhat enlarged at its top and has a slot Y 9 extending therethrough in a direction substantially at right angles tothe front side of the counter. The standard is also provided with a hole 9b extending therethrough in the same direction as the slot 9 and some distance below said slot. A seat or top10 is provided for the stool, which preferably will be of wood or similar material and circular in shape, as shown. The seatlO has a bracket 11 secured to its under side, having laterally extending anges engaging the bottom of said seat and secured thereto by the screws 12. The standard 11 is substantially of U-shape and has a portion 11b projecting from the flanges 11 which is rectangular in cross section and substantially Y tits in the groove 9a. The bracket 11 amo has a cylindrical lower arm 11"` extending parallel to the portion 11b which extends through and substantially fits in the hole 9b. The portions 11b and 11c are connected by the end piece 11d. The portions 11b and 11c have flat ends disposed in the same plane and a plate 13 extends between said ends and is secured thereto by the screws 14. lVith the structure described, itis seen that the seat or top 10 can be moved toward and from the counter and the same disposed in various positions as shown by the dotted lines in Fig. 1. The stool can thus be moved closer to the counter or farther therefrom. It will be seen that the portion 11'D slides in the slot 9 and the portion 11c slides in the hole 9b. The top is thus firmly held in position and has little or no tendency to move after once being adjusted. The portions 11b and 11C, when va person .is sitting on the stool, tend to bind in their respective seats, so that the top is not easily moved.
In operation the stool will be disposed at the side of the counter as shown in Fig. 1. The person desiring to sit at the counter will quickly slide the seat 10 so as to place the same in a comfortable position. After the person is seated on the stool as above stated, the top has littleor no tendency to move and the same will thus be disposed in the position which is the most comfortable and convenient for the occupant.
From the above description it is seen that applicant has provided a very simple and eiicient structure of stool or chair and one especially adapted for use with lunch counters. The device is easily and inexpensively made and comprises few extra parts over the ordinary stationary stool. The device has been amply demonstrated in actual practice and found to be very successful and efficient.
lt will, of course, be understood that various changes may be inade in the forni, details, arrangement and proportions of the parts, Without departing from the scope of applicants invention, which, generally stated, consists in a device capable or carrying out the objects above set forth, in the novel parts and combinations oi parts disclosed and deiined in the appended claims.
vWhat is claimed is 1. A stool or chair having a base, a standard rising ror said base, said standard having a slot extending transversely thereof at its upper end and having an aperture therethrough beneathsaid slot, a seat portion having means secured to its under surface fitting in and slidable in said slot iorining a guide, said means also comprising a portion slidable in said aperture.
2. A stool or chair having in combination, a seat, a bracket secured to the under side of Vsaid seat having upper and lower hori- Zontal bars, said upper bar being angular in vertical cross section, a support having a base adapted to be secured to the ioor and having a standard upstanding from said base, said standard having av slot in its upper end in which said upper barv tits to orin a guiding ineans, said standard having anv aperture therethrough below said slot through which said lower bar passes,said bars being slidable in said slotI and aperture respectively, and. ineans on said bracket limiting the sliding inovement oi' said bars and seat.
3. A. stool or chair having in combination, a base adapted to be secured to a support, a standard rising from said base having a recess extending transversely of its upper surlace and having a hole therethrough a short distance below said recess,'a seat having'a rneniber secured to the under side thereoi and extending transversely thereof, said Iineinber fitting in said recess of said standard and slida-ble therein, and additional guiding ineans for said seat comprising a rod-carried by said ineniber, Which rod extends throughV land is slidable in said hole in said standard. i
