IMPROVEMENT IN BARBERS CHAIRS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 179,859, dated July 18, 1876; application filed November 19, 1875.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, OSWALD KUBrrsoHKY and JOHN F. NITSGHKE, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bar-, bers Chairs, of which the following is a specification:

This invention relates to a rotating and tilting chair, to be used more especially by barbers; and its nature consists in a pivoted stand, which rotates in a stationary stand or base, and is jointed to the seat-rails of the chair. The middle bed-rail of the chair is provided with a bar, jointed to an adjustable footboard and to the back seat-rail of the chair, and the back portion of the bar is provided with two joints, whereby an elbow is formed,

onejoint sliding against an inclined plane on the under side of the middle bed-rail, and the other joint sliding against an incline on the pivoted stand. To one of the arms of the pivoted stand is attached a rack, on which a catch attached to the chair-seat looks. This arrangement is such that when the rear of the seat is depressed the elbow-joints will straighten out and elevate the foot-board pivoted to the front of the chair-seat, and the catch will lock on the rack and hold the parts thus adjusted.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is alongitudinal sectional elevation 'ofonr improvementas applied to a chair; Fig. 2, also a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same, one figure showing the foot-board elevated and the other depressed.

Fig. 3 shows a front and side view of thejoint' connecting the bottom frame of the chairwith the pivoted stand.

A represents the ordinary floor-stand of a chair. To this stand is pivoted an upper stand, B B B B, consisting of four arms, joined together at their central intersection, and being provided with an ordinary pivot-bolt, G,

extending into the stand A, so as to rotate. To the side arms B B are attached joints or hinges P P, which connect the said arms with the side rails of the chair-seat, permitting the seat to tilt back,as shown in Fig. 1. K represents a rack attached to the end of the rear arm B, for a purpose hereinafter to be shown. I represents a foot-board, which is attached, by a hinge or by hinges K, to the front rail of the chair-seat, said board extending the width of thechair-seat. D represents a barofflat iron, which is hinged or jointed to the foot-board I at J, is provided with joints E G, and is hinged to the back of the chair-bottom at F. A metal-plated incline, N, is formed on the under side of the middle bed-rail H of the chairseat frame, and an incline is formed on the back arm B of the stand, as shown at M, for the purpose of forming smooth bearings for the joints E G of the bar I) to slide on. As will be seen, these joints form elbows on the bar D, and that, when the rear of the seat of the chair is depressed, the angle of-the elbowjoints will be brought to an obtuse angle, lengthening the bar D, so as to elevate the foot-board I, as shown in Fig. l, and that the catch L will lock on the rack K, and hold the parts as thus adjusted.

We claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent The combination of the pivoted stand B B B B, having the incline M and rack K, the seat-frame, having the incline N and the catch L, the foot-hoard I, and the bar D, jointed at E G, and hinged to the scat-frame and footrest, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
