COMBINATION OTTOMAN AND CHAIR Filed May 26, 1950 INVENTOR. Jflmua GI ,PE/c/IMQN BY I Patented Jan. 13, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFF I'fiE.
COMBINATION .OTTQMAN AND CH I SamulG; Reichman; Flint; Micln Application :May. 26, 195.0; ti' liNoa 164,510.;
My invention relates, to improvements in a combined 1 ottoman or foot stool and chair.
My; invention relates more particularly to furniture o'f'this tyne capable ofalternate use, 'that'i's, either asafootstoolor ottoman, or when desired 'as'a low chair which has a backrest associated therewith so. that it. may be. used for viewing television or. for similar purposes about thehouse.
The. principal object of the invention is, the provision of a construction, for an ottoman or other article of furniture-in-which thereis a back rest concealed within the: body or base of the ottoman sothat-the ottoman may be used as a foot stool when desired, the said backrest "being secured-within the said base and" soarranged that'apart of the ottoman maybe moved to uncover the interior of the base and the'back restmoved out of the opening to erect position in a movement including;- at lea-sta pivoting; of the-said-back-rest;
Another o'f'the'principal objects of the present invention is to provide a combined ottoman or footstool and chair construction wherein the housing or-base ofthe' footstool is provided with a compartment in which a back-rest or support is contained, the back rest being secured'to the base in such a manner thatit may be moved from its positionwithin the-base to a supported position outside of the base, the seat of the ottoman being available ro'r use under-either circums'tance.
A';further object "of the invention is the provision of 'a: seat 'constructionior the ottoman whichrena-bles" the seat: to be disposed outof the-path of'theback rest as the seat backrest is= being moved" from within the base to the erect position outside of'the sameor-vice versa.
Still a further. object'of the invention isto provide; an article of" furniture of the character described in which the back rest" normally is concealed. within the basev of the ottoman beneath the seat,: and inrwhich the seat is capable ofbeing swung to .a position to uncover the top offthe, ottoman, theback rest being pivotally secured within the basein' such a manner that it "can be pivotedout f the ba'se to' i'ts ere-crease tion; after which the seat can be -m'oved to recoverthe base.
Many other; objects willoccur-=to those skilled in" thez'art; to which this invention pertains it hei-ngipointed?outl thatimanwnovelconstructional features -'.of; my*deviciaWill:'beibrought out in the descriptioniwhichfollows. "In order. to facilitate aixgreaters andz-mor'e complete understanding of the invention,.ian ilthe manne o using thesame, andin. order. tocogmply with the statutes relating topatents, I 'have illustrated herein certain ernbodiments of the invention which are preferred forms, butl desire to emphasize. that a great many variations from the specific details thereof are capable of being made without departing from the scope of or, violating the spirit of the invention. It istherefole desired, to be limited in scope only by the language ofthe claims appended hereto interpreted'in their broadest range of equivalents commensurate with the prior art relating to the subject matter hereof.
In the. drawings, in which like or similar characters of reference; denote the same or similar part throughout the several figures thereof Fig. 1 is a generally front perspective view of one form of construction of my combined ottoman and chair, showing the same when used asan' ottoman or footstool;
Fig. '2 is a generally similar'front perspective View thereof with theback rest in operative position,-jshowing the same when used as a chair;
Fig. 31s a side elev'ational view of the combined ottoman and-chair generally viewing the unit from the left of Fig. '2, with the back rest shown in the 'retracted position in dotted lines;
Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken generally-on 'the line 4 -4-of Fig. 3 with the seat bein shown in aswung open position in dotted lines Fig. 5 is a fragmentary detailed sectionalview showing the back supporting frameand associated'parts, i and istakenomthe line 5'-5 of Fig; 3,.
lhaveshown-in Fig l'an ottoman or footstool which=mayinolude generally the base It having the uphols'tere'dtop l2 'and'suitable corner legs 'l 4' to's'uppor't the same upon the floor. The top 12 may beef-the usual type providedwith a rigid bottomwall l6 and suitable padding lflcovered by a leather o'r-other flexible covering 2E2.
In the construction shown in Figs. 1 to 5' inelusive, the top is connected'by a pair of hinges 22 and to oneof the side walls 26 of'the'base It, it being provided at its opposite Side with a spring-latch member-- til-which snaps 'over a stop 3-2j'connected to the oppositeside wall 34 of the base Ill.
The "base of the unit is preferably rectanguljar. hav n the'side a ls .6 3. pr vi usly mentioned, the front wall36, and the back wall 38. theback wall 3. .b 'ins o ded w th a p ir a: back est desi nat d enerally H. which.
normally concealed within the base Ill may be swung to an erect position so that when the unit is used as a chair a seat and back rest are provided. The back rest may comprise a prop having a pair of tubular frame members 44 and 46 flattened at their lower ends as indicated at 45 and pivotally mounted upon pin members 48 and 50 secured in suitable blocks 52 and 54 respectively mounted adjacent the opposite side walls 26 and 34 within the base.
The free end of the back rest H is formed in the usual manner as such articles are constructed, with a padded member P against which the users back is adapted to engage. The member P may be secured between the tubular frame members 44 and 46 in any suitable and well-known manner at the upper ends thereof as viewed in Fig. 3.
The flattened ends 45 of the tubular frame members 44 and 46 are identically offset from the main body of their respective member giving rise to the connecting angular bends 56. With the seat top I2 pivoted to a position illustrated in Fig. 4 in dotted lines, in which it uncovers the interior of the base In, the back rest frame is free to be pivoted counterclockwise out of the base from the dotted line position of Fig. 3 to its solid line position illustrated in said Fig. 3. This latter position is that in which the same properly can be utilized as a back rest. The movement accomplishing this maneuver brings the angular bends 56 into the notches 49 and 42 respectively which obviously are suitably aligned to receive the said bends. In the position thus far described the back rest H is supported by the wall 38 and the pivots 48 and 50, and thereby is prevented from continuing its counter-clockwise movement. In other words, the wall 38 serves as a stop and support for the back rest. If now the seat top I2 is returned to its normal horizontally disposed position covering the base l0, its rear end, i. e., the left hand end as viewed in Fig. 3, looks the back rest frame in erect position. The lower surface It engages the upper edge of the wall 38 of the base, closing oif the upper open ends of the notches 40 and 42 and forming therewith the passageways through which the tubular frame members 44 and 46 extend out of the base in erect, supporting position.
From the above and foregoing description it will be seen that I have provided an article of furniture which consists of a combined footstool or ottoman and chair and in which the said article readily and quickly can be converted from the one to the other by the user. The said article is characterized by the provision of a back .rest which is totally concealed in the base when the article is being used as an ottoman, but which is secured to and supported by the base and is capable of being quickly moved from its place of concealment to an erect and operative position.
The invention is further characterized in one form by a seat top which is capable of being moved off the top of the base of the article of furniture, to permit the back rest to be pivoted out of the base through the top thereof, after which the seat top is returned to normal position. Replacing the back rest within the seat is a simple reverse procedure.
It is believed that the invention, its mode of construction and assembly, and its advantages readily should be understood from the foregoing without further description, and it should be manifest to those skilled in the art that I have 4 made a substantial and highly beneficial advance in the arts and sciences, the exact nature of which is set forth in the claims which follow.
