C /1. flab/7 I BY ATTORNEY Patented Mar. 18, 1930 UNITED stares CHARLES W. MOBLEY, OF BARNESVILLE, GEORGIA ATTACHMENT FOR BARBERS CHAIRS Application filed October 18, 1928. Serial No. 313,269.

This invention relates to improvements in barbers chairs of that type which are provided with displaceable head-rests having an elongated supporting standard. The headrest is provided with means for adjustably mounting the same on the back of chair to be used in shaving operations; when the chair is employed in a hair-cutting operation the head-rest is dismounted and placed aside.

The object ofthe present invention-is to provide an attachment mounted on the chair to hold the head-rest when not in use. By employing the attachment the head-rest can be deposited in an out of the way place convenient to the barber and the liability of ac cidentally knocking the head-rest to the floor to its injury is avoided. Means are provided for mounting the attachment on an ordinary chair without structural changes in the latter. The attachment and the means for mounting the same are described in detail hereinafter and illustrated by the accompanying drawings.

In the drawings, in which similar reference numbers designatecorresponding parts,

Figure 1 is a vertical sectional view of part of a barbers chair with the attachment mounted thereon and thehead-rest positioned in the holder of the attachment; only so much of the chair is shown as is necessary to illustrate the attachment and its use.

Figure 2 is a sectional View on the line 22 of Figure 1;

4 Figure 3 is a longitudinal sectional view through the holder and an attached bracket art p Figure 4: is a transverse sectional view of the holder, on the line 4-4: of Figure 3;

Figure 5 is a detail View, broken away in parts, of a modified form of the means for mounting the attachment on the chair seat; and

Figure 6 is a detail view, showing one of the members of the mounting shown in Figure 5.

Referring to the drawings in detail, 10 designates the annular metal frame of the seat of a barbers chair of well known pattern, pivotally mounted on the pedestal 11. As the pivotal mounting forms no part of the present invention, it is only indicated diagrammatically in the drawings and requires no particular description, The annular seat frame includes a horizontal flat part 12 and a peripheral depending flange 13. The arms (not shown) of the chair are attached to the flat part of the'frame by bolts, such asat 14. This bolt extends through the seat and is held in place by the nut 15 turned on the lower end of the bolt to abut the underside of horizontal flat part 12 of the seat. To provide a clamp for the attachment, the bolt 1% extends below the nut 15 and turned on its extremity is a second nut 16,the bolt and the two nuts providing the clamping means.

The holder 17 is a casing formed of sheet metal bent to a flattened tubular shape with the edges [slightly separatedto form a longitudinal slot 18 extending along the casing in one of the flattened sides thereof. The

holder is provided at one end with a flared mouth 19 and the other end is closed by a cushion 20 held'in place by flanges 21 inwardly turned from the wall of the casing. 'A short distance from the mouth of the holder, a tongue 22 is struck inwardly from the flat tened wall of the casing opposite to the side having the longitudinal slot 18. In :the mounted position of the holder, that side hav-' ing the tongue 22 is uppermost. The means for mounting the holder on a chair seat include a twopart bracket formed of two adj ustably connected angle bars. One of these angle bars comprises a long arm 23 and a short arm 243 13116 two arms being in oblique relation. The long arm 23 of this 7 angle bar extends along the'up'per sideof the holder and is attached thereto by the bolts 25 extending through the longitudinal slots 26 in the arm and through circular openings in the adjacent wall of the holder. By means of nuts 27 on the inner ends of the bolts the arm 23 and the holder can bev clamped together, the slots 26 in the arm permit relative adjustment of the holder and arm. The elongated arm 23 not'only' forms part of the bracketmember, but also serves to reinforce the tubular holder. In the short arm'24 of the angle bar is a longitudinal slot 28.

The other or upper angle bar comprises the bar ofthetwo-part bracket to the yoke plate; {this means the holder is mounted at the secured to the s'eat'by the clamp formedby f the bolt 14 and the nuts 15, and 16.
