JAMES LOVELL WVISEMAN, OF MONTREAL, QUEBEC, CANADA.
HEAD=REST FOR RAILWAY-CARS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 360,789, dated April 5, 1887.
Application filed November 19, 1886. Serial No. 219,513. (No model.) Patented in Canada Angust2S,18S6, No.24,826.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMns LovELL Wrsn- MAN, of the city of Montreal, in the District of Montreal and Province of Quebec, Canada, have invented a certain new and useful Improved Head-Best or Pillow for Railway-Oars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
The object of my invention is to provide for the use of railway-passengers an attachment which, while normally held in avertical position against the side of the car, (to which it is hinged,) may be let down, and then formsa perfect support for the head. The bar is so arranged that the backs of the seats may be turned over without necessitating the alteration of its position.
The device may be thus briefly described: To the side of the car is hinged, at a point between the backs of the seats and somewhat above them, a bar or plate of any suitable material, in length slightly shorter than the seat, and of any suitable width. The inner side of this bar (its upper side when lowered) is covered at will with plush or other upholstering material. The plate is held against the side of the car by a catch and 'further se cured in that position by means of a counterbalance-weight running in aboxing. The bar mustbe drawn down to overcome the resistance of the counter-balance until it falls into position by its own weight. For full comprehension, however, of the invention reference must be had to the annexed drawings, in
namented at will on what is its under side when down and outer side when against the wall, on the other side being secured a cushion, A, usually covered with plush, velvet, or any other suitable material. This plate A is secured to the side of the car by the hinges B B, (shown in detail in Fig. 5,) B being the part secured to the bar, with back projections, b b, and B B the parts secured to the car-wall, one on each side of B, each provided with a stop, 1), against the under surface of which the projections b b press when the rest is down.
0 is a spring-catch for holding the end of the bar A, as shown in Fig. 3. a D is a boxing, in which slides the weight E, connected by a line, 6, passing oversheaveEin such a way thatwhen the bar is lifted to about the angle shown by the dotted lines in Figs. 2 and 3 the weight E will draw it up to the vertical position and hold it there, whatever may be the motion of the car. \Vhen it is desired to lower the rest into position, it must be drawn down to the angle indicated by the dotted line, whence it falls into place.
F is a cranked pin, secured to A, and turned, when the rest is in position, into either of the spring-catchesf f, secured to the backs of the seats.
ltwill be seen that by turning the pin F from one eye or catch j into the other the back of the seat can be turnedover without moving
