This invention relates to improvements in furniture slip covers.,
An object of the invention ,is to provide a slip cover comprising an enclosure for the back and an enclosure for a detachable cushion seat which can be readily placed in position and which soV cooperates with the cushion seat that the latter assists in retaining the enclosures against disarrangement during use thereof.
10 In the accompanying drawings wherein an embodiment of the invention is illustrated as applied to a conventional overstuied chair and aA davenport,
Figure 1 is a perspective view of a chair with is the cover in position.
showing the conventional cushions in upright position to disclose the construction of the lower portions of the cushion seat enclosure.
Figure 6 is a vertical sectional view through the davenport slip cover shown detached from the davenport.
In Figures l to 4, which illustrate a slip cover for an overstuied chair, l is the rear panel and ill the front panel of the enclosure for the chair back i2. These panels are secured together; along the top and partially down the sides to form an enclosurewhich can he drawn downwardly over the chair back. The iront panel il is connected to or formed vas a continuation of the rear wall I3 of the enclosure for the cushion seat.
The rear wall i3 is connected to or formed as a continuation of the top panel i4 or the cushion seat enclosure.
The enclosure is also provided with side walls i which terminate in longitudinal llaps I6 which extend beneath the cushion l1 a variable distance depending on the width o the particular cushion. The cushion enclosure is also provided with a front wall I8 which is secured to a drop or skirt I9 having box pleats or rules 20 at the lower edge.
Fastening members 2| which preferably are elastic extend diagonally from the lower edge of the wall i3 to the naps I6. These members exert tension on the cushion enclosure both longi- (cl. s- 182) v' tudinally and transversely and hold-the cover material in smooth contact with the cushion seat.
The lower portion of panel il is preferably provided with enough surplus material to permit the back enclosure to be accommodatedto chairs having backs of different heights.
The cushion il can readily be inserted inthe box-likev enclosure, formed by the top panel i4 land the side walls i3, l5 and i8, and aps I6,v as will be appreciated.
The securing members 2l, as stated above, tend to hold the cushion seat enclosure in smooth contact with the cushion, and prevent wrinkling and disarrangement during use. Since these mem hers preferably are elastic they will stretch as the cushion is in use and, unless the back i2 of the chair is so low that there is an excess of surplus material at the lower edge of the panel il, the members 2| will exert a slight tension on the front panel il tending to draw the latter downwardly as well as tending to draw the seat enclosure rearwardly and thus preventing disarray of the cushion cover at the front. The friction of the cushion at the rear also assists in holding the front panel il against displacement upwardly. y
The elastic members 2| may, if desired, be extended longitudinally of the ilaps i6 from their points of connection therewith to the forward ends of the aps, the latter of which will be shirred or gathered and secured to the elastic 'members by stretching as illustrated in Figure 5. This arrangement tends tov retain the'top panel i4 and the forward wall i8 of the cushion enclosure against disarray.
The skirt I9 and the depending pleated section 29 as shown in Figure 3 preferably extend laterally of the cushion and may be provided with fastening means 22 such as buttons or snap fasteners for securing the same to the arm covers 23. The arm covers 23 are made of separate pieces substantially as described in my prior Patent Number 1,825,909, granted Oct. 6, 1931. A
Figures 5 and 6 illustrate the improved slip covers applied to a davenport. In this instance the arms of the davenport are enclosed inA separate covers 24. The cover for the back 25 and the cushions 26, 21 and 28, are secured together in the same manner as above described. Thus the davenport back enclosure is provided with a rear panel l29 and a front panel 3B secured together lat the top and partially on the sides to. enable the same to be drawn downwardly over the back 25.
The cushion seat enclosure comprises a. top 55 panel 3| which may, of course. be made in sections to correspond and simulatethe individualV cushions 26, 21 and 28, and has a rear wall 32 which is connected to or formed as a continuation 5 of the lower portion oi the front panel 30.
f Diagonal elastic members 36 are secured as at 31 to the lower edges of the wall 32, and to the flaps 35, the latter of which preferablyv are shirred or gathered as indicated at 33. The
l5 shirred portions 38 are, of course. secured to the elastic members 36 which extend forwardly and may lie-attached to the front wall 39 at or adjacent the seam 40 formed by the stitching of the front wall 39 to the skirt 4|.
Due to the length of the davenport cushion seat, I have found it desirable to use additional elastic members l2 which are attached to the lower portion of the rear wall32 and extend forwardly and upwardly for attachment to the front wall 39 preferably at the seam 43 between the top panel 3| and the side wall 39. y
The individual cushions of the seat can readily be inserted in the box-like enclosures thus provided as will be seen. I'he elastic members exert suiilcient tension on the enclosure material to hold the same smoothly over the surface of the c ns.
In this instance also the skirt 4| extends laterally a short distance of each end of the cushion .35 seat to underlie the forward portions oi' the arm covers 24, and may -be'provided with buttons or snap fasteners 44 for cooperation with buttonholes or snaps '45 carriedby the arm covers.
'I'he elastic vmembers in cooperation with the A friction against the lower portion of the front panels il and 30, when the cushions are in position, hold the panels against upward movement during use, and thus provide a neat appearing,
smoothly fitting furniture slip cover which can 45 readily be fitted on chairs or davenports of dii'- ferent sizes.
The outer side walls of the arm covers 23 and 24 are provided with suitable fastening means. not shown, similar to fastening members 22 or 45, by means of which the arm covers are attached to the rear panels I0 and 29 respectively. The arm covers are suiiiciently long to provide material at the rear ends to be tucked into the space provided between the davenportarms and backs. l p
The parts oi' the covers can be readily removed or attached by this arrangement. are convenient to handle during washing and ironing, and can readily be replaced.
By attaching the lower edge of the front panels Il and 3U of the chair and davenport covers to 5 the lower edges of the rear walls I3 and 32 respectively, ofthe cushion enclosures, the latter are given the appearance of being separate frcunA the backenclpsures. when in use.
While I have shown and described an embodi- 10 ment oi my invention for the purpose of illustration, I do not wish to be restricted specifically thereto except as so limited by the appended claims.
LA slip cover for an voverstuflied article of furniture having a back and a. detachable cushion seat comprising connected front and rear panels forming an enclosure for the back of the article, and a cover section for said cushion seat having 20 a top panel and depending side walls terminat` ing in flaps arranged to underlie the longitudinal margins of the seat and having depending front and rear Walls secured to the end portions of said side walls to provide a box-like enclosure 25 for the cushion seat, the lower edge oi said rear wail being connected to the lower edge of said frontl panel whereby the rear vend oi the seat tends toretain' said panel against dislodgment upwardly, and diagonally extending means se- .30 cured to said rear wall and td said aps for exerting tension on said top pariel both transversely and longitudinally to retain said top panel against disarray with respect to said cushion seat.
