WILLIAM H. JAY, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR OF ONEJEIALF OF HIS RIGHT TO CHARLES MORGAN, F SAME PLACE.
' CONVERTIBLE CHAIR.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 233,352, dated October 19, 1880.
Application filed October 29, 1879.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. JAY, of the city and county of Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Convertible Chairs; and I hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
This invention has reference to improvements in convertible chairs; and it consists in the peculiar and novel construction and arrangement of parts,'as hereinafter specified and claimed.
Figure l is a perspective view of my improved convertible chair. Fig. 2 is a view of my improved chair converted into a couch.
This improved convertible chair can be adjusted to any desired position, can be used with or without theleg-rests, and the material forming the seat can be adjusted to secure any desired curve. The leg-rest can be readily converted into a head-rest and the seat into a couch, when the head-piece of the chair be- 2 5 comes the foot-piece of the couch. A box is provided for the reception of various articles, and a glass for dressing or shaving.
The chair becomes a readily convertible piece of furniture, and for camping out in 0 summer it is a complete and most desirable article, while in a single room it may be used as a chair by day and a couch by night.
In the drawings, (t represents the cloth or other similar material forming the seat of the 5 chair. One end of the cloth or seat is firmly'seeured at the end a, while the other end is secured to a roller, a which is provided with ratchets and pawls, so that the cloth or seat can be adjusted to suit any desired po- 0 sition; and to facilitate the adjustment the crank b is used, which can be slipped over the square projection on the roller a and the cloth be wound or unwound by turning the crank.
5 c c are pieces secured to the vertical side of .the chair and provided with slots, in which the pieces (1 d are hinged.
The side pieces, 0 c, are provided with a number of recesses, into which the pawls e e may enter, so as to adjust the chair as may be desired.
The arm-rests f f are provided with hinged supports f f, and the pieces 01 d have holes made to receive the supports, as is shown in broken lines in Fig. 1, so that in any position the arm-rest can be readily adjusted.
g g are projections, forming feet to hold the main frame 0 0 off the floor and support the couch. as shown in Fig. 2. These feet 9 are suitably ornamented and fixed to the main frame, serving also to add to the finish or ornamentation of the chair when not used as feet.
It and h are the hinged leg-rests which form the headboard of the couch. (Shown respectively in Figs. 1 and 2.)
The board It is provided with the hinged support 1', which consists in a hinged T-shaped metal bar, over which the tubular T-shaped piece slides, and is secured by means of a thumb-screw, so as to secure the foot-rest at any desired position, as shown in Fig. 1, and secures the same against the board h, as shown in Fig. 2, so as to be entirely out of the way.
It is a hinged cover, under which a lookingglass is secured in the end piece, I. This glass can be adjusted at any desired height, so as to be used for dressing or shaving.
m is a receptacle for articles of toilet or other desirable articles, which receptacle is secured between the pieces at d and forms a convenient place for various articles used in dressing or shaving.
By the peculiar construction of the chair great strength and durability are secured, and as an adjustable invalid chair or couch it leaves nothing to be desired, being portable and ornainental.
Having thus described my invention, I claim o as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A convertible chair composed of the seat a, side pieces, 0, fixed ornamental feet 9 thereon, slotted pieces 0, pieces 0?, pivoted 5 therein, the hinged head-piece l and its mirror, and afolding adjustable leg-rest, substantially as shown.
2. In a convertible chair, the combination, with the chair-frame, of the hinged end piece, 1, provided with alooking-glass, and arranged to form the headpiece of the chair and the foot-piece of the couch, as described.
