. 3 Claims.
This invention relates to .aseat construction and more definitely to the creation of a seat supporting bracket which is adapted to be used between the several seats. and which permits the seats to be positioned at an angle thereto.
Formerly it has largely been the practice to mount seats of this character in a straight line about the stage or platform or, in many cases the line of a row of seats is of polygonal shape, the aisles of the theatre dividing the several sections of seats from each other.
One of the principal objects of my invention is to construct a bracket member which has an adjustable means at either side thereof whereby the opposed. seats may be mounted at a slight angle to each other. The brackets and the seats are alternately placed in a true are of a circle about the stage, this being a very desirable feature for both utilitarian and aesthetic reasons.
Another main object of my invention is to provide a bracket which has adjustable means thereon whereby the adjustment of the seat supporting arms may be simultaneously and quickly made. In other words, the bracket has a single sliding means extending therethrough which carries the opposed edges of two adjacent seats whereby one operation takes care of both of the seats.
Still further objects or advantages subsidiary or incidental to the aforesaid objects, or resulting from the construction or operation of the invention as it may be carried into effect, will become apparent as the said invention is hereinafter further disclosed.
Fig. 1 is a plan View of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a cross sectional View of the bracket taken along the line 2 2 of Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 is a vertical cross sectional view taken through one of the seat members equipped with my novel bracket support.
Fig. 4 is a View taken along the line 4-4 of Fig. 3, and
Fig. 5 is a perspective view through the bracket member supporting the adjustable hinge holder thereon.
Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
Referring particularly to Figs. 1 and 3, 10 indicates the usual cushions and 11 the backs of ordinary seats, such as used in theatres, the backs 11 being supported in the upper portions of my bracket members as shown in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 2 these bracket members are preferably set at an angle to each whereby a symmetrical construction will be had.
The supporting bracket or standard, see Figs. 2 and 3, is preferably of cast iron and has a front leg 15, slightly curved as shown, and a rear leg 16, these legs being of an I-beam cross section. The front leg 15 is continued upwardly 60 past the cushion or seat member 10 and extends rearwardly at right angles to form a supporting arm 17 for the usual arm rest 18. The rear leg 16 is also continued upwardly and extends rearwardly at 19 thus forming a support for the back 65. cushion member 11. A supporting web extends between the front leg and the rear leg intermediate their ends and a rectangular vertical opening 20 is formed therethrough, the opposed vertical edges of this opening being of toothed con-'2701 struction as indicated at 21. See Figs. 2, 3 and 5. Hinge holders 22 are of identical construction and are recessed in their central portions as indicated by the dotted line showing of Fig.
3 for a purpose which will shortly appear. The. .75. vertical sides of these hinge holders are toothed or roughened as indicated at 23 similarly to the conguration 21 on the Vertical edges of the opening through the bracket and flanges 24 extend from the outer faces of these plates thusgu serving to prevent side movement of the hinge member 30. The flange 24 is notched as indicated at 25 thus providing a seat for the hinge member 30.
The hinge members 30 are adapted to receive35 the bolts 31, which pass through the central openings in the hinge holding members 22 and which serve to bring these several members together, thus clamping them firmly at the proper height or level. Each of the hinge members'Qo also have ears 33 adapted to receive the pivot pin 34 upon which the eye 35 formed in the supporting arm 36 is mounted.
The arms 36 extend outwardly from their pivotal mounting and are fastened to plates 38, rigid with the bottoms of the cushion seats 10, by means of any suitable mechanism. See Fig. 4.
From the above description taken together with the drawing, it will be appreciated that I have invented a bracket which is of relatively simple 100 construction, is sturdy in character, and which will admirably serve the purposes for which it is maintained. By its use the several seats may be mounted in a true circumference without any distortion thereof and thus giving an artistic apv pearance, especially from an architectural standpoint, to the interior of the auditorium or theatre to which they are applied.
Having thus described my invention I desire it to be understood that the invention is in no Wise 1101 ment disclosed, the scope thereof being set forth in the following claims.
I claim:
l, In a row of seats placed side by side in angular relation to each other the combination of supporting means between each ofthe several seats, said supporting means comprising a standard having a relatively long vertical rectangular opening therethrough, said standard adjacent the vertical edges of the rectangular opening having roughened surfaces and then vertical ribs, hinge holders having correspondingly roughened faces adapted to be placed across the opening at opposite sides thereof and in abutting relation to the said vertical ribs, hinge members having horizontally extending ears, adjustable means extending through the opening in the standard andpassing through the hinge holders and the hinge members on both sides thereof whereby the several parts may be clampedat a chosen height, pivot pins extending between each set of ears, and an arm mounted upon each pivot pin', said arm being adapted tok be connected to the underside of the adjacent seat member.
2, An article of manufacture adapted to be placed between a row of individual seats positioned in a curved linewhereby they may be properly supported comprising a standard, hinge hold- Ylimited to the particular illustrative embodiers, having their central portions recessed, Iocated on opposed sides of the standard, hinge members having spaced apart ears extending therefrom, said hinge members being positioned on the outer sides of the hinge holders, means extending between the hinge members and also extending through the recessed portions of the said hinge holders whereby both are maintained in position, and arms pivoted to the aforesaid ears and extending outwardly therefrom an-d adapted for connection to the respective adjacent individual seats, said pivotal connection being of predetermined tightness and being independent ofthe said clamping means.
3. In a seat hanger of the class described, a vertical standard having an elongated opening therethrough,` vertically adjustable members positioned on each side of the standard and extending over the opening, connecting means extending through the opening and attached to both adjustable members whereby they may be held from vertical movement relatively to the standard, ears extending from the adjustable members, arms and vertical pivot means extending between said ears for connecting said arms so as to swing horizontally on the adjustable members for the purpose described.
