CHAIR-commons.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 357,914, dated February 15l 1887.
' Application filed September 25, 1886. Serial No. 214,531. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, ENocH S. FARso'N, a citizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Chair-Commodes, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to that class of commode-chairs which are provided with arms; and the object of my invention is to so construct such a chair that an :invalid may be assisted to aseat upon the commode and the clothing properly arranged without interference due to the presence of the arms of the chair. This object I attain in the manner hereinafter set forth, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figurel is a perspective view ofa commodechair constructed in accordance with my invention, the seat of the chair being closed over the commode; Fig. 2, a similar view, but with the seat of the chair raised and the commodelid moved to one side; Fig. 3, a view showing the parts of the chair adj usted so as topermit an invalid to be assisted to a seat upon the chair, and Figs. 4 and 5 views illustrating modifications of my invention.
In Figs. l, 2, and 3, A represents the base or body portion of the chair, constructed as usual for the reception of a commode-pan, B, which is provided with the ordinary removable lid, D, and when the commode :isA not in use is further covered by the hinged seat F of the chair.
G is the back of the chair, which is hinged to the rear portion of the body A, one of the hinges, a, being shown in Fig. 3; and H H are the opposite arm portions of the chair, each comprising an upper bar or rest, b, and a lower bar, d, both rigidly secured to the back of the chair, and connected near their outer ends by a post, d.
In the ordinary use of the chair the back and arm portions of the same are not disturbed, said arm portions being secured to the body, near their front ends, by hooks f. VheH, however, the chair is to be used by an invalid or other person requiring the aid of an attendant, the arms are in the way, not only while the person is being seated upon the commode, but also while the clothing is being arranged. In such oase, therefore, the arm portions of the chair are released from the body by withdrawing the hooks j, and the back of the chair carrying-said arm portions is then thrown rearward, so as to carry the arms out of the way, as shown in Fig. 3, and permit the attendant or attendants to have free access to all portions of the seat of the commode. After the patient has been seated and the clothing vproperly arranged Vthe back of the chair and the arms carried thereby are lifted and again secured in position, so as Vto provide for the comfort of the occupant of the chair during the time that the commode is in use.
`My invention may be carried outin a modified form by hinging the arm portions only of the chair, as shown in Figs. 4 and 5. For instance, in Fig. '4 the base-bar of each of said arm portions is hinged to the body of the chair, so that the said arrn portion can be thrown down against the side of the chair to get it out of the way, and in Fig. 5 the arm portion is hinged to the liXed back ofthe chair, so as to be thrown rearward in getting it out of the way, suitable hooks and catches being provided in each case for securing the arms in position when they are Vadjusted for use.
The plan of hinging the back of the chair and securing the arm portions rigidly thereto is much to be preferred, however, as it increases the strength and stability of the arm portions of the chair, and has the additional advantage of leaving the seat of the chair free on allsides when the back is thrown to the rear.
I am aware that arms have been carried by the hinged cover ofa commode-chair so as to be brought into position when the cover is raised, and thrown down into the body of the chair when the cover is closed 5 but such construction, it will be evident, is not .capable of attaining the result of myinvention.
I am also aware that chairs have been provided with arms which could be thrown down so as to project laterally from the chair-body in line with the seat, and that lounges and sofachairs have been provided with arms to turn down and form head and foot extensions to the seat; but such laterally-pro] ecting arms cannot be used in a chair-commode, as they prevent Ico thrown down against the sides of the seat, as in Fig. 4. Without claiming, broadly, therefore, a chair having a hinged back and hinged. arms,
I claim as my invention-- l. A chair-commode having arm portions pivoted thereto, as specified, whereby when turned outwardly from the seat they are thrown out of the way and permit close approach and unobstructed access to said seat from the sides as well as from the front of the chair, all substantially as specified.V
2. Achair-commodehavingaback provided with proj eoting portions which, when the back is raised, form the arms of the chair, said back I5 being pivoted to the body of the chair so as to be thrown rearward, carrying the arms with it and away from the seat, allsubstantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name 2o to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
ENOCH S. FARSON.
