Application filed March 25. 1882. (No model.)
Seats; and I do hereby declare the followingto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it,
[ reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvementin attachments for car-seats; and it consists in hinging, pivoting, or seeming under each car- 1 seat a partition which can be lowered in the winter, so as to prevent drafts of air from passing around the feet, and which can be raised A l in summer for the purpose of allowing the air to freely circulate, or while a person is sweep- 2o ing out the car, as will be more fully described hereinafter. The object of my invention is to provide a partition which is to be placed under the cen-- ter of the seats in-the car, and which will reach from the seat down to the floor and form a comparatively air-tightjoint therewith for the pur- 1 pose of checking currents or drafts of cold air which pass through the car, and which are particularly disagreeable to the passengers.
, o Figure l is an end view of my invention.
Fig. 2 is a side view of the partition.
A represents an ordinary car-seat, which may be of any shape, size, or construction which may be preferred. Hinged, pivoted, or
5 secured in any suitable manner under the cen .ter of this seat is thepartition B, Which may either be of the shape shown in Fig. 2 or any other that may be preferred. This partition will be made of some rigid material, and which 4 will be just wide enough to extend from the under side of the seat down to the floor and form a tight joint therewith for the purpose of Q preventing currents ofsair from passing around the passengers limbs and feet, and causing the This: partition will have its outer end shaped soas to correspond to the shape of the casting of the outer end of the seat, while its inner end will be made straight, so as to correspond to the side of the car. For the purpose of forming a perfectlycured the rubber strip I, which is made of a tubular shape at the bottom, where it comes in contact with the floor. This strip has a suit- 5|; able flange, which fills the groove made in the lower edge of the partition, and the tubular part serves to accommodate itself to any irregularity of the floor. All of these partitions willbeconnected togetherattheirinnerstraight 6o ends by means of a wire, cord, or rod, 0, so that they can all. be operated at once for the purpose of turning them up, so as to be out of the way when the car is be'ingsw ept or scrubbed,
or during the'summer, when the drafts of air .are not so objectionable. This partition also serves toassist in the sweeping of the floor and the washing of it while cleaning out the car underneath the seats. By catching hold of the operating-lever, which is fastened to the i This partition will also serve to prevent the heat from the heating-pipes from being swept away by the incoming draft. The draft being confined entirely to the central aisle of the car,
the heat will rise freely from the heating-pipes, and thus the passengers will get the full benefit of it, for it cannot be effected until it passes upward beyond the tops of the seats or out into the main aisle. This partition further serves as a shield to prevent the limbs of the passengers from being exposed.
I do not limit myself to any particular construction, shape, or design of the parts, as these may be varied without departing from the spirit of my invention. I
- Having thus described my invention, 1 claim- A y 1. The combination of a car-seat with the swinging partition which is placed under the seat for the purpose of preventing draftsof I00 cold air around the feet of the passengers, substantially as shown.
2. In a car,the combination of the seats with the partitions placed under. them, and
2 I 25am? connected together hy-means of rods, cords, or wires in such a manner that the partitions can be raised and lowered, substantially. as described.
3. The combination of the car-seats, the hinged or pivoted partitions placed under the seats, and the rubber strips I, the parts being varranged and combined to operate substantially as shown and described.
4. The combination of a car-seat with a suitable partition loosely attached thereto, and
having an elastic material attached to its lower edge, the partition being adapted to be worked back and forth over the floor for the purpose of assisting in cleaning the car under the seat, substantially as specified.
In te timony whereof affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
