` the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l,` represents an end view of so much of threeseats or chairs, as is necessary to illustrate my invention, when the `said seats or chairs are used' for day travel `or ordinary seats or chairs. Fig. 2, represents a similar view when the chairs or seats are used for night travel or sleeping chairs. Fig. 3, represents a rear view of back D, Fig. 2, Fig. il, represents a rear view of Gr, showing the manner in which the supporting piece H, is folded up when the chairs are used as shown in Fig. l.
A, A, represent the floor of the car to which are fastened the frames B, B, of the seats C, C. The frames B, B, and seats C, C, do not differ materially from the frames and seats in common use. To the top ofthe inside of the frames B, B, are attached the back supporting pieces b, having long slits or openings c, and curved bottom openings eZ, all as fully shown in dotted andfull lines Figs. l and 2. i
The backs D, are supported by sidearms a,
one on each end. The arms a, have pins or projections a, which fit into `the slotted pieces b, so that when the backs D, are to be used for day travel, the pins or projections a, in the arms a, are slid down so as tio catch into the curved openings d, as shown 1n Fig. 1, and 1f 1t be desired to reverse the backs D,
so as to have the seats face or front theother i A stationary foot rest Fi,\is placedunder i each seat, and in addition thereto a limb sup porting device F, G, H, is hinged to the floor, or to ears attached to the floor or bot-` tom of frames B, on both sides of each seat or chair, only two of them beingshown 1n the drawings.
Each back D is provided with two fold` ing head supports I, which are hinged to the back D, as shown at j, Figs. 1,2, and `3, so

The bottom supportingpleces H, can be made to rest on the floor `at a dilferent angle,1 so as to support the parts F, andlG, inany 1 desired position or inclination.
It will `be seen from theiabove description 1. of my improved sleeping chair forrail road 3 *l i cars, that they ,are not onlyfsimpleand` convenient,but can be arranged withgreat easel` y i 51 and rapidity for either night `or day travel.`
To fold up the limb supporting `device the s` cord h, which is attached to H, `and is then 1 f passed through thepiece Gr, as shownin Figj x1 l, 2, is pulled so as to swingand `fold the part i H, into a recess cut in thefbackof G, when 195k", the part F, Iwhich is `hingedto Gr,"at1` 1f, is` l` folded over so as to bring theupper partof` F, in contact with the lower part [of Gr,andu` then thewhole device is turned onthe hinges". 1 d
