UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
E. VALDO OUTLER, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
SLEEPING-CAR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,381, dated July 12, 1887.
Application filed August 17, 1885. Serial No. 174,5C9.
To all whom it 11i/ay concern,.-
Beit known that I, E. VA'LDO OUTLER, a citizen of the United States, residing` atBoston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachu setts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad Sleeping-Cars; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the'art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The object of my invention is a railroad sleeping-car so constructed that it may be readily converted into a comfortable and roomy day-car with seats all facingin the same direction, and it is intended more especially as an improvement on the invention described in Letters Patent to me No. 316,013, dated April 21, 1885.
I accomplish my object by providing ascatframe capable of being placed in three positions, as may be desired for adapting it for use either as a support for the mattress when used as a sleeping-car or as a support for the seat-cushions when used as a day-car going in either direction.
In the drawings I have shown, in Figure 1, an end View of two car-seats which are to be converted into a lower berth of a section of a sleeping-car. These seats may be substantially like the ordinary day-car seats, except as modified in the particulars to be described, and they need not face each other unless it is desired to have them so, so that one may be occupied by the person who is to use the lower berth and the other by the one who is to use the upper berth, and when used as a day-car may carry two persons each. Fig. 2 represents a side view of the cushions in the backs and seats of the two car-seats placed side by side to form the support for the mattress of the lower berth and supported by two temporary cross-bars, substantially as described in the Letters Patent to me above referred to. Fig. 3 is an end View of a car-seat embodying my invention, showing a section of the ways a a in which the seat-frame b is adapted to slide. Fig. 4 is a ratchet pivoted to the frame b, as
(No model.)
shown in Figs. 1 and 6, for the purpose of holding the seat in three different positions. This is done by means of the spring c pressing the knob el into the holes c, Fig. 9. Fig. 5 represents the ways a a on each side of the frame in which the seat-frame b is to slide by means of the lugs ffattached to each side of the frame b. seat containing my invention. g is a slot in the arm h, attached to the back t. The pin j on the frame m is placed in this slot. k is a pin on the frame on, iittinginto the slot a. The object of this arrangement is to shorten the arm hin reversing the seat, so that the backs of two adjoining seats shall not come in Contact or interfere with each other, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1. Figs. 7, S, and 9 represent, respectively, a plan of thc seatframe b, a side View, and an end View of the same.
It will be seen that by means of the frame I) sliding in the ways a, thelugsffholding the Seat firmly and allowing only a forward and back motion, the seat may be placed in three posi tions-two when it is used as a seat facing` either way and one when it is to be used in conjunction with the adjoining seat of the section as a support Vfor a mattress, the cushions being first placed as described in the Letters Patent to me above mentioned, the knob l fitting into the holes e and preventing the forward and back motion, as above explained.
Vhat I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a railroad-car scat, the Vframe b, the ways a a, and the lugsff, in combination with the knob d, as and for the purpose above described.
2. In a railroad-car seat, the combination of the frame I), ways a c, the lugsff, the spring c, knob d, and holes e e, substantially as and for the purpose above described.
E. VALDO CUTLER.
