SUPPLEMENTAL CAR=SEAT.
EPECIPICATIGN forming part of Letters Patent No. 389,041, dated $eptember 4, 1888.
Application filedAngnst 11, 1887. Serial No. 246.686. (No model) To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, J AMES H. YOUNG, of the city of Troy, county of Rensselaer, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvementin Suppl emeutal Car-Seats,of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to improvements in carseats, having for its object such an arrangement and construction of the seats as will furnish accommodation for the seating of a larger nu rnber of passengers than when the ordinary seating method is used.
My invention relates more particularly to horsecar seats and such other cars as have their seats arranged at the sides in a sofa form; and my invention consists (as will be more fully detailed hereinafter in connection with itsillustration) in the combination, with the bottom and back of a sofa-form car-seat, of partitions dividingofftheseat-bottomintoseating-spaccs, said partitions being centrally pivoted to the seat-body between the seating-spaces and provided with a supplemental seat, so that when the partitions are turned toward the seat-back the supplemental seat is turned up against the seat-back and out of the way, and when the partitions are turned downwardly and frontwardly the supplemental seatis adapted to swing down in front of the seat proper, so as to project beyond the latter between each of the seating-spaces of the seat proper, with a stop in the partition to arrest the turning of the latter when the supplemental seat is in position for use. I
Accompanying this specification, to form a part of it, there are three sheets of drawings containing five figures illustrating my invention,with the same designation of parts by letters of reference used in all of them.
Of these illustrations, Figure 1 shows in side elevation a car interior with the top ends and bottom shown in section,with the supple mental seats shown as turned up. Fig.2 shows a top view of a car interior with the supplemental seats shown as alternately turned up and turned down. Fig. 3 shows as removed from the seat one of the pivoted seat-partitions. Fig. at shows a section of the bottom and top of the seat with one of the partitions shown, with its supplemental seat shown as turned up. Fig. 5 shows the same parts that are illustrated at Fig. 4, butwith the seat turned down.
The several parts of' the apparatus thus illustrated are designated by letters of reference, and the function of the parts is described as follows:
The letters S designate the seats, which are of a sofa form, having the seat proper, S and the back B. The seats are divided off into seating-spaces S by means of the pivoted partitions P. Each of these partitions is of circnlar form, and provided with a central hearing, b, on which it is adapted to be rotated in a vertical line in the slots cl between the seats proper. This bearing for each partition is arranged in the seat proper between the divided off scatingspaccs of the seats. Upon each of the partitions there is formed a bracket, R, supporting a supplemental seahS, and so arranged thereon that when each of the partitions is turned frontward on its bearing the supplemental seatand bracket will swing down and in front of the seat proper, and be arrested in its rotation by means of the engagement of the arm of the bracket on the partition with that part of the seat proper which is left intact in front of the slots cl. When the supplemental seats are not required for use, they and the brackets supporting them are swung up against the seat-back B by turning the partitions toward the back.
To stop the downward rotation of the partition and seat when in a proper position for use, the bracket R on the partition is arranged to engage with that part of the seat proper which is front of the slot (1, and indicated at m.
As thus constructed and arranged, between each two of the dividedoli' spaces of the side seats ofa car a supplemental seat is produced, which increases the seating capacity of the car when crowded,and which also leaves a central passageway through the car for the conductor when collecting fares.
By making the partition circular, as shown, and centrally pivoting it in the slots in the seats, itis held straight in its pivotal direction, whether turned with the supplemental seat down or back. The circular form also makes a substantial and sightly armrest, ex-
The oombination,with a oar-seat formed with a slot, (2, of pivoted circular partitions P,
mounted on bearings p in said slots and formed with bracket-arms R, and supplemental seats 8*, mounted on said bracket-arms, said bracketarms being adapted to lodge against the outer end of the slots in the car-seats and sustain the supplemental seat, substantially as described.
Signed at Troy, New York, this 23d day of 20 June, 1887, in the presence of the two witnesses whose names are hereto written.
