ARTI CLE 0F FURNITURE Filed April 25, 1928 S14/vento@ Patented Sept. 10, 1929.
UNITED STATES mises CYRUS L. HALL, OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
ARTICLE OF FURNITURE.
Application filed April 23,
This invention relates to new and useful imrovements in articles of furniture.
ne object of the invention is to provide an article of furniture which will serve both as a seat or chair and a rack or support on which clothing may be conveniently and orderly hung, thus making for economy in floor space and convenience, and preserving the shape of garments placed thereon.
Another object of the invention is to provide an article of furniture including a seat and having upright garment hangers or supports at each end of the seat, serving as arms.
A construction designed to carry out the invention will be hereinafter described, together with other features of the invention.
The invention will be more readily understood from a reading of the following specification and by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which an example of the invention is shown and wherein:
Fig. l is a front elevation of an article of furniture constructed in accordance with my invention,
Fig. 2 is an end elevation of the same,
Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view taken on the line 8 3 of Fig. 2, and
Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical sectional view taken on the line 4 4 of Fig. 1.
In the drawings the numeral 10 designates a seat which may form the lid of a box or storage compartment 11. At each end of the seat and box upright end members are provided and are illustrated as including corner posts 12.
These posts entend below the boX and have feet 13 at their lower ends for supporting the structure. Just above the feet a shelf 14: may be attached to the posts below the box, or this shelf may be omitted. Those portions of the posts which support the box and seat constitute legs.
The corner posts are extended upwardly above the seat and the pair at each end are curved outwardly and away from the end of the seat. Those portions of the posts above the seat constitute standards 15. The standards of each pair are connected at was.` serial no. 272,177.
their tops by hanger bars 16, also curved in conformity to the standards.
he hanger bars are each provided with an upstanding boss 17 merged at each end into downwardly curved shoulders 18, similar to an ordinary coat hanger. The standards are connected between the seat and bars by a rung or cross member 19.
The outwardly curved standards 15, the bars 1G and the rungs`19, form garment hangers or supports overhanging thekends of the seat and also constitute arms or end members for the article of furniture. yThe size and shape are, of course, subject to considerable variation.
As is shown in dotted lines, a pair of trousers may be hung across the rung 19 with the hips resting on the seat and the legs hanging down on the outside of the end members. ln this way the trousers will be held in shape and the contents of the pockets will not be spilled.
A coat and vest, as is indicated in dotted lines, may be hung on the bar 1G and the standards 15, the boss 17 supporting the neck and collar. Owing to the outward curve of the standards, the coat will hang clear of the end of the seat. Two suits or other garments may be hung on the rungs and bars and kept in shape.
Shoes may be placed on the shelf 14 and a hat hanger 2O may be provided under the box 11. Articles of clothing or any other articles may be stored in the box. The structure is very useful for apartments and other places where closet space is limited, as it takes the place of both a closet and a chair.
It is obvious that the design of the structure may undergo many changes and the whole article is subject to variation, so long as the features are retained.
The end members may be formed in numerous ways. The essential elements are the seat and the garment hangers overhanging the ends of the seat. To make the garment hangers integral and to eliminate the corner posts, as well as other modifications, will readily suggest themselves to the skilled designer and workman.
CII
Va ious changes in the size and shape of the different partsa as well as modiications and alterations, may be made within the scope of the appended claims.
TVhat I claim, is:
l. An article of furniture comprising a seat, legs supporting the seat, standards at each end of the seat curved outwardly and upwardly therefrom7 hanger bars connecting each pair of standards and curved to conform to the standards, and rungs connecting the standards, whereby coats may be hung on said bars free of the seat and trousers supported on said rungs may be sup'- ported by said seat.
2. An articlerol lfurniture comprising a seat, a box under said seat, corner posts supporting the box and seat, said posts being curved outwardly and upwardly from the ends of the seat, shaped garmentv hangers connecting the tops of the posts and disposed to suspend a garment in a vertical plane beyond; the posts, and rungs connecting the posts lbelow the bars and above the seat.
3. An article of furniture comprising a box having its upper portion forming a seat, corner postsrsupporting the box and curved outwardly and upwardly from the ends of the seat, shaped garment hangers connecting the tops of the posts and extended beyond the vertical plane of the base of the posts,
rungs connecting the posts at each end inter-` mediate the hangers and seat, and a shelf spaced below the box and supported by said posts.
In testimony whereof I ax my signature.
