Nov. 17, 1953 J. T. HALEY PORTABLE ARM SUPPORT Filed Sept. 15, 1950 JNVENTOR. We 2' 15 2!? Patented Nov. 17, 1953 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 2,659,423 PORTABLE ARM SUPPORT James T. Haley, Syracuse, N. Y. Application September 15, 1950, Serial No. 184,992
1 Claim.
This invention relates to a portable arm support and more particularly to an arm rest, or support, adapted to be used by persons riding in vehicles, such as automobiles, railroad trains, buses, etc.
The invention has as an object a device of the type referred to embodying a particularly economical construction which is of light weight and convenient to manipulate and which forms, when in use, an arm support or rest equivalent to arm rests permanently built into the seat of the vehicle.
The invention consists in the novel features and in the combinations and constructions hereinafter set forth and claimed.
In describing this invention, reference is had to the accompanying drawings in which like characters designate corresponding parts in all the views.
Figure 1 is a top plan view of an arm support embodying my invention.
Figure 2 is a view taken on line 2-2, Figure 1.
Figure 3 is an end elevational view looking to the left, Figure 1, and illustrating the rest position on a vehicle seat.
The device consists of a base member formed of thin, flexible, sheet material which is normally self-sustaining as distinguished from fabric, or other highly pliable material. I have found that a number of sheet plastic materials on the market are particularly well adapted for the base member l0.
One or more supporting members H are secured to the base member. Preferably, there are two of the supporting members II and they are attached as by rivets l2, or other suitable means, to the base member [0 in spaced relation. The base member I 0 is adapted and intended to be positioned upon the seat of the vehicle and sat upon by the person. The supports l I extend upwardly from one edge of the base, and an arm rest pad [3 is secured to the upper ends of the supports H. As here shown, the supports H are formed of light weight channel material and the pad I3 is mounted to metal straps I4, as by screws IS, the straps l4 being of such width as to be slidably positioned in the channel structure of the supports H. The straps are provided with elongated slots IE to receive clamping screws I! mounted in the supports H and which, in conjunction with thumb nuts l8, form means for securing the straps to the uprights in vertically adjusted position and by which the height of the arm pad 13 from the base member I0 may be varied to suit the individual.
The base l0 being formed of the relatively thin, flexible, sheet plastic material, readily conforms to the seat of the vehicle and the contour of the person, so that when the arm support is in use, by the person, the person is However, the seat material is sufiiciently self-sustaining to maintain the supports I l in proper upright position.
These arm What I claim is: A portable arm support comprising a flat base member consisting of a single sheet of thin, flexible self-sustaining but deformable sheet material having top and bottom surfaces upwardly from a peripheral said base member with the remainder of the peripheral edge portions all being unobstructed JAMES T. HALEY.
