PIANO BENCH Filed April 19, 1938 2 Sheets-Sheet l Inventor By I15 A iiorneys Patented Nov. 8, 1938 i If 2,136,:25'' I N' New f George w. smith, mature-11.x. Y. fn li t on Apri -i9,- 1938, Serial ivqlzoaaes 5* reams; e1;-155' 3'4 ff Thepresent invention relates to new and useful improvements in piano benches and has for its primary object-to provide, in a manner as hereinafter set forth, a device of this-character embodying a novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts through the medium of which a plurality of vertical adjustments may be expeditiously made.
Other .objects of the invention are to provide an adjustable piano bench of the aforementioned character which will be comparatively simple in construction, strong, durable, highly eflicient and reliable in use, compact, light in weight, attractive in appearance and which may be manufactured at low cost.
All of the foregoing and still further objects and advantages will become apparent from a study of the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings wherein like characters of reference designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, and
wherein:
Figure 1 is a top plan view of an embodiment of the invention.
Figure 2 is a front elevation thereof.
Figure 3 is a vertical, longitudinal sectional View, taken substantially on the line 3--3 of Fig. 1, the lower portions of the legs being broken away.
Figure 4 is a view in end elevation of the invention with the seat omitted.
Figure 5 is a view in front elevation thereof.
Figure 6 is a vertical sectional view through an upper portion of the device, taken substantially on the line 66 of Fig. 5.
Figure 7 is a vertical. sectional view, taken substantially on the line |--1 of Fig. 6 but showing the seat supporting blocks in raised or operative position.
Figure 8 is a bottom plan view of the removable seat.
Figure 9 is a bottom plan view of a corner portion of the removable seat, showing the slidably mounted adjusting members in operative position.
' Figure 10 is a vertical sectional view through an end portion of the seat, taken substantially on the line Illl of Fig. 9.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, it will be seen that the embodiment of the invention which has been illustrated comprises what may be referred to as a supporting unit or structure of suitable material, preferably wood, which is designated generally by the reference numeral I.
'Ifhesupporting structure I includes legs 2 between'which a plurality of braces'3 extend.
The reference numeral designates blocks of suitable material which are hingedly mounted on the upper end portions of the legs 2, as at 6. 5 As illustrated to advantage inFig. 7, of the drawings, the blocks 5 are adapted to be swung up- Wardly on the upper ends of the legs 2 in a manner to constitute vertical extensions on said legs. The blocks on the front and rear legs 2 are connected by rods 1 for operation in unison.
Removably mounted on the supporting structure I is a. substantially rectangular seat which is designated generally by the reference numeral 8. The seat 8, it will be observed, comprises a frame 9, a top [0 and an apron ll. Mounted for sliding movement beneath the longitudinal members of the frame 9 are substantially U-shaped members l2. The leg portions of the substantially U-'-shaped slidable members l2 have formed therein slots l3 which accommodate headed ele- I ments I4 for mounting said members. [2 beneath the frame 9.
The construction and. arrangement is such that four vertical adjustments of the removable seat 8 may be made. The lowest adjustment is shown to advantage in Fig. 3 of the drawings wherein the frame 9 of the seat 8 is resting directly on the upper ends of the legs 2, the blocks 9 and the members I2 beingin inoperative position. The next adjustment is made by sliding the members I2 outwardly from the position shown in Fig. 8 of the drawings to that illustrated in Fig. 9, thus permitting the end portions of said members I2 to rest on the upper ends of the legs 2. Of course, to make these adjustments the seat 8 is removed from thesupporting structure I. The next adjustment of the seat 8 is accomplished by retracting the members I2 and swinging the blocks 5 upwardly to operative position 4 on the upper ends of the legs 2, as shown in Fig.
7 of the drawings. The seat 8, when replaced, rests on the blocks 5. Then, the last and highest adjustment is made ,by sliding the members I 2 outwardly for engagement on the blocks 5.
It is believed that the many advantages of an adjustable piano bench constructed in accordance with the present invention will be readily understood and although a preferred embodiment of the device is as illustrated and described, it is to be understood that changes in the details of construction and in the combination and arrangement of parts may be resorted to which will fall within the scope of the invention as claimed. 6
What is claimed is:
1. A piano bench comprising a plurality of legs, a seat removably mounted on said legs, and members slidably mounted on the seat and engageable with the upper ends of the legs for supporting said seat in elevated position thereon.
2. A piano bench comprising, in combination, a plurality of legs, a removable seat adapted to be mounted on said legs, blocks hingedly mounted on the legs and engageable with the upper ends thereof for elevating the seat, and members slidably mounted beneath said seat and engageable with the blocks for supporting the seat inv or with the legs for supporting the seat in eleelevated position on said blocks.
3. A piano bench comprising a plurality of legs, a seat adapted to be removably mounted on shaped members slidably mounted beneath the frame and engageable on the upper ends of the legs for supporting the seat in elevated position thereon.
4. A piano bench of the class described comprising a supporting structure including a plurality of legs, braces extending between said legs, a seat adapted to be removably mounted on the legs, said seat including a frame, a top on said frame and an apron depending from the frame, blocks hingedly mounted on the upper portions of the legs and engageable on the upper ends thereof for supporting the seat in elevated position thereon, rods connecting certain of the blocks for operation in unison, substantially U- shaped members slidably mounted beneath the frame and engageable selectively with the blocks vated position thereon, the leg portions of said substantially U-shaped members having slots therein, and headed elements mounted in the 1 frame and passing through the slots for slidably securing said members to said frame.
