RECLINING ND FOLDING CHA'IB.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,393, dated February 12, 1884. u Y
Afplicauon mea May 4,1883. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern.:
Beit known that I, FRANKLIN E. YOUNG, a citizen ofthe United States, residing at Ganton, in the county of Stark and State of Ohio,
lhave invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reclining and Folding Chairs,
of which the Afollowing is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to improvements in a reclining and folding chair combined, which y will admit of being easily adjusted to various positions and being folded for transportation,
all of which will be hereinafter more fully described, and pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings accompanying and forming Aa part of this specification, Figure l is a side view of the chair. Fig. 2 is a rear view. Figs.
3, 4, and 5 are details of the bottom frame and the arms. Fig.` 6 represents the chair as folded, and Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the chair-frame.
A is a wrought-iron frame forming the two sides and the front of the chair-seat, which is of a single bar of flat iron, of suitable width and thickness, bent into the shape required,
as shown in Fig. 3. On the front is secured,
by wood-screws through holes :made in` the" v of the leg and foot-rest D, are also pivoted in the front holes, a a, on the outside of the frame A.
At the upper end of the leg and rfoot-rest bars d d are pivoted to the arms E E, (shown in plan view, Fig. 4, and in section, Fig. 5, enlarged scale,) having at the rear ends a rod, e', which passes across and behind the back,
- C, and which rod catches in one of the notches o on the back bars. i l
From the arms E are pendent braces E', pivoted at e, and having a cross-rod, e", which passes behind the legs B' B', and is designed to catch into one of the notches b b. either on the outside or inside of the legs B'. The rear legs, B'IB', are braced .by the diagonal cross-bars b' b', which are cast solid with thev legs. Gross-bars F F pass from front to hind legs, and are secured by a hook, f, passing over the braces b' b', joining the rear legs,and by a loop and staple, f'-, on the front legs, so that when the bars F are unhooked from the rear legs they 'can be turned crosswise for foldingthem under the legs for packing.
The back is formed by two flat bars, C C, and a board, C', which is strengthened and prevented from springing by a cleat, C". At the lower end of the foot-rest D is a board,D. (Represented in broken lines in Fig. 7 These boards are al1 secured to the iron bars by woodscrews passing through holes in the bars. The several parts are tted together and joined by rivet-bolts and well secured. As represented in Fig. 7, the board C extends about twothirds of the length from the top, leaving a space of one'third vacant. When the upholstering is to be done, the same is properly tacked on the edges of the board C'. The board is then put in position between the side bars, C C, and secured by the screws c c',which have ornamental heads.
G represents the upholstering of the back. The cloth, carpet, or web which is to form the seat is represented by the curved broken line H. It is tacked to the bottom edge of the back board,D', and also to the cross-strip A' on the front of the seat-frame A. The covering of the leg or foot-rest vD is tacked to the bottom of the strip A', and also to the bottom edge of the board D'. A foot-board can then be screwed to the bottom of the leg-rest D.
The arm-rests E are formed of langle-iron, as shown in cross-section, Figs. 2 and 5,-on top of which ironis secured,by screws,a strip of wood of. proper shape, and on which is tacked the armcushion g.
When a person sits down in the chair, by simply leaning back, the chair will be inclined to any angle desired. Then, by engaging the cross-rod e" in the proper notch b in the leg B', the back will be held at that angle. To change the relative angles of the back and leg and foot rest,the bar e' of the arms E must be IOC) released from the notch c in the back, and placed in some other notch c, to give the p roper relative angles.
To fold the chair for transportation,turn'the back forward over the seat, disengage the pendent braces from the legs B, fold the rear legs into the seat-frame A, and then fold the front legs upon the rear legs. tilt the arms E forward, and let the braces be folded backthe rear legs, B', as Well as the front legs, B, can be cast solid with the diagonal braces b b', which give a transverse bracing to the seat.
I claim.-
The combination of the supporting-frame, the legs B, provided with notches, as shown, the standards d, arms E, pivoted brace E,hav ing cross-rod e, engaging with the notches in legs B', the back G, having notches o, rod e, secured to the arms, and engaging said notches, and iiexible seat H, whereby the inclination of the back and the elevation of the arms are simultaneously adjusted, as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
,FRANKLIN E. YOUNG.
