RECLlNlNG-CHAIR COUCH.
LI ZCIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340,131 dated April 20, 1886., Application filed February 18, 1886. Serial No. 192,363. (No model.)
To allwhom it may conce n.-
Be it known that I, CARL A. LINDNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Reclining-Chair Couches; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
This invention has relation to improvements in reclining-chair couches; and it consists in the construction, novel arrangement, and adaptation of devices, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth and claimed.
The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective view of a skeleton of a couch, showing my improvements applied. Fig. 2 is a detail view showing my improved hinge-cap Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the hinge'cap removed, and Fig. 4 is a view of the rack-brace and slotted casting.
Referring by letter to the accompanying drawings, A indicates a sofa or couch frame, which may be of any ordinary or approved construction, and B the head-section,which is hinged to one end thereof and provided with ordinary hinged arms connected, respectively, with the side-rails of the main frame and the side rails of the hinged back or head section. B.
0 indicates the hinges for the head or back section,which are the same as those shown in the patent granted to me December 15, 1885, No. 332,412. These hinges are secured at one end to one end of the side rails of the main frame and at their opposite ends to the lower cross-bar of the head-section. It will be seen that by the employment of these hinges that the headsection may, when let down, assume a horizontal position, or a plane coincident with that of the main frame, and when thrown down its lower portion will sit considerably above the upper side of the main frame, thereby attaining a couch which can be used for the sick-room or hospital and one which may bef readily converted into a parlor-chair or 80 a.
D indicates'a casting, which is provided with a slot for the passage of the supporting rackbar. This casting D is secured to the outer side of the transverse bar at one end of the main frame with its slotted portion extending below the same and provided with a transverse pin for engaging the teeth of the rackbar E,- the opposite end of the said rack being pivoted in a lug-journal on the lower transverse portion of the head-section. The headsection is provided with a cord, F, which connects at one end to a suitable point on the rack-bar, and has its opposite end carried through guide loops to within convenient reach of the occupant.
G indicates a hinge-cap, to which I attach importance, and which is of a peculiar construction. This cap, as I prefer to denominate it, is composed of a long attaching branch, a, a short attaching branch, I), and a guard branch, (I, the whole being formed entire. This cap is placed Wit-h its long branch on the outer side of the longitudinal rails of the main frame, its short branch on the outer side of the transverse cross-bar thereof, and the guard or intermediate portion over the vertical branches of the hinges being securedin such position by means of screws or other.
fastening devices. These caps add great strength to the hinge-joints, preventing the same from coming loose or weakening from continued use.
The frame may be neatly upholstered, springs arranged about as high as the tops of the hinges, and may be covered with oil-silk, and a separate mattress used.
Having described this invention, what I claim is The improved chair-couch described, con sisting of the main frame, the head-section, the hinges O,c0nnecting the head-section with the main frame, the hinged arms connected to the side rails of the main frame and headsection, the hinge-cap, the slotted casting secured to the forward portion of the main frame, and the rack-brace pivoted to the head-section, all arranged to operate substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
CARL A. LIN DNER.
