' a claims. (01.15541) v This'invention relatesk to a chair and more especially to a chair adapted to be'lused on beaches and has means associated therewith whereby'the chair may beclosed onV all sides to form a dressing compartment.
It is, therefore, an object of this Ainvention to provide a beach chair having'a collapsible topr pivoted thereto and also an extended support connected to the front side thereof upon which a suitable curtainY may bemounted, said support being fol-dable soI as to present no obstruction to the user of the chair when it is desired to be used for seating purposes only.
It is a'further objectof this invention to provide a beach chair with a removable se'at'therein and Yadjustable foot restsrassociated with said seat to enablel the owner of the chair-to remove the seat when the seat is not'in use, without the necessity o'ffmoving the entire-chair to prevent unauthorized use.`
It is a further object of this invention to pro.- vide a chair which comprises alight framework; said framework being normally secured `against overturning by wind pressure by means of' a suit- A able weighty substance.` such as sandv and the like which is placed in a container disposed/beneath the seat of the chair. 1 Y
Some of the objectsof thek invention having been stated, other objects will appear A'as the description proceeds when taken in connection with the accompanying .drawings,. in which:-
Figure 1 is'a side elevation of the invention as it appears when it is used for a dressing compartment;
Figure 2 is a view looking at the left-hand portion of Figure 1 but showing the curtains removed and also the top in folded position;
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken along line 3 3 in Figure 2 showing the curtain mounted on one of the collapsible supports;
Figure 4 is a sectional plan view taken along line 4--4 in Figure 1; y
Figure 5 is a sectional plan View taken along line 5-5 in Figure 1 showing the upper curtain supporting means in extended position;
Figure 6 is an elevation of the central portion of Figure 5 showing the means for connecting the two upper curtain supports when the supports are in an extended position;
Figure '7 is an enlarged view of the right-hand portion of the adjustable foot rest as shown in Figure 3.
Referring more specifically to the drawings, the numerals l0 and denote the side frames for the chair which are connected together by suitable transverse struts 2, |'3,|4 |5land I6. The side frame 1D is comprised of two vertically disposed posts I1 and |8 which are connected together bysuitable longitudinal struts I9, 20, 2| and 22. Y Likewise, side frame llis comprised of two ver- 5 tically V'disposed 'posts 23 and. 24 which are secure-d together by longitudinal struts 25 and v26, 2]'and28. Y Y o. h
Secured to side frames 1'0 and |I and on the sameV horizontalplane as struts22 and 28 is a l0 U-shapedmember 36 which is adapted to receiveV the rings13`| on `culrtains. 3,8 and 38a. Theiupper enjd of curtains 38 and `38a, have secured thereto suitable rings 39 which ringsare supported by L-shaped members 4|lla'ndv4`l. The member 40 l5 isslid'ably mounted in bearings 42`and 43 which aregsecuredto strut rI9 of frame Il).V An L-shaped member 4| Vis slidably mounted in similar bearings M'` and |15 which are secured tostrut 25 of frame'ill.'Y
The 'ends o f the two members4|| and 4| are s ecuredtogether in a suitable manner, as shown in` Figure Q6; where a collar 5|Y is threadedly securefd ron, the endof member .4| and has a bore therein` inlwhichv the free end of member 40 is 25 adapted to lit.V A suitable pin '52 is then inserted through the collar 5| andl through the end lof member 4 0 to secure the endscf the two! members in position whenit isjdesi-red that the curtain be invan' 'extended position. I.1li/'hen it is desired that 30 the;l hair bejusedfor .observation purposes only,v to 'allow 'the 'sun to enter the members 40 and 4|, are collapsed and, will assume a position as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
It is also seen that when the members 40 and 35 4| are in this position that the rods may be moved to the right in a manner as shown in Figure 3 in order that the curtain and supports may not act as an obstruction to one entering the chair.
A suitable collapsible top 54 is provided which is hingedly secured to the top of frames I0 and as at 55 and 56. The top 54- is comprised of a plurality of U-shaped bows 51, 58, 59 and 60 which are held in extended position by collapsible struts 6| and 62. These struts are all identical and are shown in extended position in Figure 1 whereas, struts 62 are shown in folded position in Figure 3. The top is adapted to be covered with a suitable material such as canvas and the like, which will be denoted by the reference character 63. This canvas is secured to transverse struts I9, I5 and 25, so that when the top is in extended position, it will present a uniform appearance.
A removable seat 10 is provided which has a back 1| pivoted thereto as at 11a. The back is maintained in the desired position by any suitable means such as rod 12 which is adapted to engage the racks 13 and 14 in struts 20 and 26, respectively. By placing the rod 12 in different notches in these racks, the angularity of the back may be adjusted. A suitable compartment 15 is disposed beneath the seat 10 which may be used for stowing clothing and the like.
This foot rest is comprised of portion 18 upon which the feet of the occupant are adapted to rest and a portion 19 which extends through the partition 80. A suitable bracket 8| is secured to the lower side of the partition 82 which forms the lower side of the compartment 15. -This bracket 8l hasV a projection 83 which is adapted to fit into the rack teeth 8'4 of one of the foot rests 16 or 11.
It is seen that by raising the left-hand vend of foot rests 16 or 11 (Figs. 3 and7), the righthand end of the foot rests will be disengaged from the projection 83 and the position of the foot rest may beV adjusted to suit the user. If desired the foot rest may be pushed entirely to the right, and be placed in a position where it will not obstruct the users feet, when the chair is being used as a dressing compartment.
A pair of foldable tables'85 and 85a are secured te the membersl and Il which are identical Yin all respects and similar parts will be given like reference characters. The table 85, in Figures 1 and 2, is shown in folded position and connected Vto frame I 0. This table is pivoted to the transverse rod 20 by any suitable means such as hinges 86 and a collapsible brace 81 has one end secured to the table 85 and its other end secured to transverse strut 2|. In Figures 2 and 3 the table 85a is shown hingedly secured to transverse strut 26, whereas the collapsible brace 81 is shown hingedly secured to the lower side of table 85a and to the transverse strut 21.
In order to move the chair from place to place, handles 9| and 92 are provided which are secured to transverse members 2U and 26 respectively, of end frames l0 and Il.
The canvas covering may be secured to the framework in any desired manner such as snap fasteners which permit the side coverings to be quickly removed when greater exposure or better observation is desired.
In the drawings and specification there has been set forth a preferred embodiment of the invention, and although specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only, and not for purposes of limitation, the scope of the invention being set forth in the appended claims.
