Description

April 14, 1953 1 Q PETERSEN 2,634,793
GLIDER HANGER Filed Feb. 12, 1949 Patented Apr. 14, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE GLIDER HANGER John S. Petersen, Kenosha, Wis., assignor to Simmons Company, Kenosha, Wis., a corporation of Delaware 1 Claim.
The main objects of this invention are to provide an improved form of hanger for swingably suspending a glider seat and back frame from a supporting frame; to provide an improved form of tubular member suitable for use as a glider hanger of this kind; to provide an improved manner of mounting on the lower end of such a tubular member a bearing for support of the glider seat and back frame; and to provide an improved formation of the upper end of such tubular member for connection to a ball bearing secured to the glider-supporting frame.
In the accompanying drawings:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a glider chair wherein the seat and back frame are suspended from a supporting frame by two pairs of hangers embodying this invention;
Fig. 2 is an enlarged side elevation of a hanger embodying this invention, showing the manner of its -attachment to both the seat and back frame and to the supporting frame;
Fig. 3 is a front elevation, partly sectional, of the hanger shown in Fig. 2, the view being taken on the plane of the line 3 3 of said Fig. 2; and
Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail view of a ball bearing member of the type suitable for anchoring to the glider supporting frame, to which ball bearing is attached the upper end of a hanger embodying this invention.
A glider wherein this improved form of hanger is adapted for use comprises, a supporting frame 4 whereon is swingably suspended a seat and back frame 5 by four of the preferred type of hangers 6 embodying this invention. The glider herein shown is in the form of a chair, all of the framework of which is of tubular construction.
The supporting frame 4 includes two end members, each of which is approximately sectorshaped. The part 1 is adapted to rest on the floor with the right-angularly-disposed part 8 extending upwardly, whereby the upper portion of the arcuate-shaped part 9 provides for the attachment of ball bearings I wherefrom the hangers 6 suspend the seat and back frame 5. These two end members are connected by transverse braces I I. two of which extend between the floor parts I and one each between the upright parts 8 and the arcuate parts 9,
The seat and back frame is bent to form the usual angularly-disposed portions I2 and I3 whereon is stretched a suitable metal fabric I4 for the support of the usual upholstered seat and back cushions I5 and I6.
In its preferred form, the hanger comprises a tubular member 6 having a vertical upper portion and a lower portion I1 which is bent or curved so that the axis of the tube at its lower end is disposed at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the main or straight portion of the tube. Preferably, the open, lower tube end is parallel to the axis of the straight portion, and the angle of the bend is less than ninety degrees in order to reduce the spacing between the open end of the tube and the axis of the vertical portion. A seat and back frame supporting shaft or pin I8 has a frusto-conical hub I9 integrally-formed thereon which is telescopically seated in the open end of the extremity I1 with the axis of the shaft I8 extending substantially perpendicularly to the straight portion of the member 6.
The hub I9 is welded into the lower end of the tubular member 6 or otherwise bonded in placed with the base thereof ush with the perimeter of the open end of the extremity I'I. For connecting the seat frame 5 with each of the hangers 6, the seat frame is preferably provided with bushings 20 which are secured in suitable openings in the side members of the seat frame, and which receive the pins or shafts I8. The usual washer 2I and cotter pin 22 are arranged on the end of the pin I8 to maintain the connection thereof to the seat frame 5.
The upper extremity 23 of the hanger 6 is flattened and bifurcated to provide a pair of ears 24 whereon is supported a pin 25 which is adapted to extend through and be supported on a ring 2B of a ball bearing element I0. The outer ring 2'I of the ball bearing 26 is formed with a lug 28 whereby the ball bearing I0 is suspended from the under side of the upper portion of the arcuate part 9 of the tubular supporting frame 4.
Variations and modifications in the details of structure and arrangement of the parts may be resorted to within the spirit and coverage of the appended claim.
I claim:
A glider hanger in the form of a generally vertically extending metallic tubular member having a straight upper portion and a lower portion which is curved to dispose the axis of the lower end of said member at an angle to the axis of said straight; portion, the upper end of said member being bifurcated to form a pair of spaced ears, a pin extending through and between said ears, a bearing surrounding said pin for suspending said hanger from a supporting frame, and a bearing shaft seated and secured in said lower tube end 4and extending outwardly therefrom on an axis perpendicular to the axis of the straight portion of said member.
JOHN S. PETERSEN.
