Description
UNITED STATES PATENT oEEicE.
CHARLES PERLEY, OF NEW' YORK, N. Y.
DESK-SIEIA'I.` FOR SCHOOLS.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 19,791, dated March 30, 1858.
seats. Fig. 2 is a plan of one desk, and Fig.
3 is a plan `of the attaching plate that is Screwed onto the floor.
Similar marks of reference indicate corresponding parts.
The nature of my Said invention consists in attaching a seat to a bracket that is sup ported by the column of the desk in such a manner that all separate legs or pedestals to the floor are dispensed with, thereby giving more room for the feet of the Students, and also increased facility for cleaning and sweeping the floor, for in cases where there are not only legs to the desk but also pedestals or legs to eachof the seats the floor is so much obstructed as to render it difficult to sweep thoroughly, whereas in my invention this difficulty is entirely prevented, because there is but one column to each desk and seat.
In the drawing a, is the ioor of the room.
b, is the column attached to the floor and of any desired size or ornamental shape, care being taken to have the base or foot of said column sufliciently large to make the same steady.
c, is a circular metallic box, sloped at the upper edges to the desired angle for receiving the wooden top CZ, which is attached by screws at l, l, and said circular box has a segment removed from the front to allow of the introduction of the books and other articles, and said box and desk is set eccentrically on the column so that the said column .is beneath the back p-art of desk.
I attach my column and desk to the floor so that the same can be easily and very rmly fastened in place or removed with great facility when desired, by the following means e, is a plate screwed permanently to the floor by the screws 2, 2, in
which plate is a hole 3, and adjoining slot see Fig. 3, and the Hoor beneath the plate is countersunk suicient-ly to allow of the insertion'through the hole 3, of the head of a bolt f, and of its being slid along in the slot so thatsaid head is confined beneath said plate. 4, is a nut within the box c of the desk firmly securing the parts together and clamping the base of the column immovably to the floor.
The seat g is set on a bracket L, from the column ZJ, and said seat might be stationary and would afford great convenience to the scholars above the present seats, because more room is afforded for the feet, and for the person between the desks, because a separate back is dispensed with, and the back z', formed on the forward part of the next desk in the rear is made use of. I however prefer that Said seat be not Stationary but that it be attached by straps 5 and 6, fromvthe bracket h., passing around circular grooves o-r bearings in the column so that it can be swung around horizontally as shown in Fig. 2 by dot-ted lines, and at the right hand desk of Fig. l. The great convenience of these desks will be apparent, for the scholars can rise in their places, swing the Seat from beneath them with one hand and then the whole class march out of the row of seats unobstructed, and upon taking their seats the reverse operation is performed by swinging the seats around with4 the hand as the scholars sit down7 the whole operation being noiseless, and the largest number o-f scholars for a given space accommodated in the most comfortable manner.
The floor by my arrangement is as' little obstructed as possible, and when desired for the purposes of examinations or public meetings the desks can be removed with the greatest facility, and afterward can again be attached in place, and should any one desk become loose so as to shake by the operation of t-he seat (whether the seat be used by the occupant of the next desk in front or swung around for the occupant of the desk itself) the same can be tightened and made perfectly firm by the nut 4.
Vhat I claim as my invention and desire to secure by Letters Patent is- Supporting the Seat by a bracket extending from thepedestal or column of the desk,
Whether said seat be :L permanent fixture or fitted to swing around, substantially as and for the purposes speciiied; whereby the floor is unobstructed by the separate legs or pedestal of the seat and greater facility afforded for cleaning the room, and more space given for the feet of the scholars.
In Witness Whereoi I have hereunto set my signature this twenty-seventh day of June,
CHARLES PERLE Y.
