INVENTOR. INNES SCOTT -DALGLE l SH BY HIS ATTORNEYS Patented Apr. 1, 1952 CHAIR HAVING GARMENT HOLDING ATTACHMENTS I Innes Scott-Dalgleish, St. Hclier, Jersey,

Channel Islands Application February 20, 1948, Serial No. 9,692 In Great Britain February 25, 1947 2 Claims. (Cl. 155-190) The object of this invention is to provide an armchair in which are-incorporated means for accommodating in an orderly manner most of the usual day-to-day wearing apparel.

According to the present invention an armchair adapted to accommodate a suit of clothes and attendant garments in good shape without wrinkling or soiling, comprises a seat having front, rear and side edges, a back supported above the rear edge of the seat, two arms each of which is secured to said back and extends forwardly therefrom in substantially spaced rela tionship with, and outside the side edges of, said seat, and a clothes hanging means carried by each arm comprising a bar rigidly secured beneath the arm and offset outwardly from that side edge of the seat lying beneath the arm.

The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawing in which,

Figure l is a side elevation of a tubular metal chair according to the invention,

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the chair of Figure 1.

Referring to Figures 1 and 2, a length of tubular metal is bent to form a back 1, seat supports 2, front legs 3, bottom 1 and rear legs 5, the upper ends of the rear legs 5 being welded to the rear of the seat supports 2 at 5. Welded to the upright portions of the back i are arms consisting of short portions 7 substantially at right angles to the said uprights and portions 8 parallel to the seat rests 2. The front, curved end of a rail 9 is welded to the front end of the arm 8 so that the rail 9 lies parallel to the arm 8 and beneath it. A length of bent tubular metal H) is welded to the horizontal portion of the back I, the shape of the portion l0 being such that it has the appearance of an inverted U from the front and when viewed from the side it is inclined backwardly and upwardly. A bowed length of tubular metal is welded to the portion It to form a coat-hanger ll.

Two lugs l2 are welded to each of the back uprights I, the front of the lugs being flush with the front of the uprights. These lugs are provided with holes for the reception of screws for holding in position a padded back rest l3.

Similar lugs 14 are welded flush with the upper surface of the seat supports 2 for the purpose of securing a padded seat I5.

The arms 8 are provided with holes It for the reception of screws holding padded arm rests ll.

The coat-hanger l I is adapted to receive a coat and waist coat in such a way that they hang clear of the back of the chair and the floor and are substantially out of view from the front of the chair.

If desired, the coat-hanger l 1, instead of being welded to the portion In as shown, may be detachable, for example by providing hooks on the portion [0 in which the coat-hanger H engages.

The rails 9 are suitable for receiving folded trousers, shirts, underclothes or the like. The rear ends of the rails 9 may be slightly curved upwardly as shown to minimise the risk of the garments hung thereon slipping off. It will be seen that there is sufficient clearance between the arm 8 and the rail 9 to allow garments to be slipped onto the rail, and that there is sufficient lateral clearance to allow the garments to hang clear of the seat of the chair.

What I claim is:

1. An armchair adapted to accommodate a suit of clothes and attendant garments in good shape without wrinkling or soiling which comprises a seat having front, rear and side edges, a back supported above the rear edge of the seat, two arms each of which is secured to said back and extends forwardly therefrom in substantially parallel spaced relationship with, and outside the side edge of, said seat and clothes hanging means carried by each arm comprising a horizontal bar rigidly secured to the forward end only of the arm and extending rearwardly therefrom beneath said arm in spaced relation thereto and offset from that side edge of the seat lying beneath the arm.

2. An armchair adapted to accommodate a suit of clothes and attendant garments in good shape without wrinkling or soiling which comprises a seat having front, rear and side edges, a back supported above the rear edge of the seat, two arms each of which is secured to said back and extends forwardly therefrom in substantially parallel-spaced relationship with, and outside the side edge of, said seat and clothes hanging means carried by each arm comprising a horizontal bar rigidly secured to the forward end only of the arm and extending rearwardly therefrom beneath said arm in spaced relation thereto and offset from that side edge of the seat lying beneath the arm, the rear and unattached end of said bar being slightly curved upwardly towards the arm.
