RECLINING CHAIR Filed Aug. 6, 1928 glvwenfoz mm "In Patented Feb. 3, 1931 warren STATES ALBERT L. HARRIS, OF BAY CITY, MICHIGAN, ASSIGNOR TO KELTON AURA N 'D TvIAN U- Pars-sir OFFICE FACTURING 00., OF BAY CITY, MICHIGAN, A CORPORATION OF MICHIGAN RECLINING CHAIR Application filed August 6, 1928. .Serial No. $297,717.
This invention relates to chairs, and particularly to chairs such as used in motor busses, aeroplane and other passenger car-' rying vehicles.
The prime object of the invention is to design a chair having an adjustable back, and provide simple and economical means for adj usting the inclination thereof.
Another object of the invention is to provide a simple, substantial and effective adj usting means, which can be readily operated to the chair occupant, and which is adaptable to chairs provided with double seats, as well as a chair with a single seat.
A still further object is to design an adjusting mechanism composed of fewparts, positive in operation, and which will not get out of order.
The above and other objects will appear as the specification progresses, reference be ng had to the accompanying drawing in whlch I have shown the preferred embodiment of my invention, and in which like reference numerals indicate like parts throughout the several views thereof.
In the drawing.
Fi g. 1 is a side view of my improved chair with the adjusting mechanism 1n place thereon.
Fig. 2 is a rear view thereof.
Fig. 3 is an enlarged part sectional View showing the adjustable mechanism, the dotted lines showing the back in an ad usted position and the hand lever depressed.
Fig. 4 is a plan detail view of the link.
Referring now to the drawing, the numeral 5 indicates the frame of the chair whlch can be covered with wicker, cloth, leather, or any other desired material, this is formed of seamless tubing and is provlded w th the usual arms 6, and a back frame 7 1s hmgedly connected to the main frame at 8, said hingmg point being preferably at a point approxlmatcly in line with the top of the seat cush on.
The chair shown in the accompanying drawing is formed of tubing as above described, and is designedto accommodate two people, and each side is therefor equipped with an adjusting mechanism so that each back frame may be adjusted to suit its particular occupant, without in any manner disturbing the occupant of the opposite seat.
The adjusting mechanism proper comprises a tubular member 9 which is slidably mounted in the arm of the chair, spaced apart i: teeth 10 being provided on the under side thereof, the end of said member having a tongue 11 which is adapted to be pivotally secured to a link member 12 by means of a rivet 13, the end of said link being formed with spaced apart legs 14; adapted to receive the said tongue therebetween. The opposite end of the link 12 is provided with a tongue 15, and the back frame is slotted as shown at V comprises a vertically disposed latch 18, theend 19 of which is beveled to engage the teeth in the member 9 and hold it in adjusted position, a coiled spring 20 being provided in said member, and 1s lnterposed between the latch and a plug 21, so that an upward pres- '5 sure is exerted on the latch at all times, the plug being removably secured in any approved manner, so that the spring and latch can be removed for repairs or any other purpose.
A laterally projecting hand lever 22 is secured to the latch as shown, and projects through a slotted opening 23 provided in the member 17, said lever preferably being positioned directly below the arm so that it will not catch the clothing nor project into the seatin area, and when it is desired to adjust the back the seat occupant presses down on the lever 22 to disengage the latch from the teeth and the back frame can be inclined a desired.
From the foregoing description it will be obvious that I have perfected a very simple, economical, and convenient adjustable chair which is very easy to adjust and operate.
W hat I claim is An adjustable chair comprising a seat frame, tubular posts on the rear end thereof, a back frame pivotally connected thereto,
hollow tubular arms on said seat frame and formed with downwardly projecting tubular extensions, the lower ends of which are secured to the front of said tubular posts, hollow tubular members slidably mounted therein, links pivotally connected to said members at a 'point beyond the end of the arms and to the back frame respectively, a latch 'mounted in said seat frame, a plug, a
spring interposed between said latch and plug,'and a lever for actuating said latch to dlsengage it from said toothed'member,
In testimony whereof I hereunto afliX my signature.
. ALBERT L. HARRIS.
