VEHICLE SEAT.
NO. 396,194. Patented Jan. 15, 1889 ///5 ATTORNEY- UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
FRANK A. COMSTOCK, OF COLUMBUS, OHIO.
VEHICLE-SEAT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 396,194, dated January 15, 1889.
Application filed September 3, 1888. Serial No. 284,889. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FRANK A. OOMSTOCK, a citizen of the United States, residing at C0- lumbus, in the county of Franklin and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Vehicle-Seats, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to the improvement of vehicle-seats, and has particular relation to the formation of the back and sides thereof.
The objects of my invention are to provide a vehicle-seat with a simple, durable, and iiiexpensive form of sides and back, to construct the same in such a manner as to facilitate the upholstering of the seat, to facilitate the connection of the vehicle-top or shiftingrail with the seat, and in so constructing said seat to improve the appearance thereof. These objects I accomplish in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a plan view of my improved seat. Fig. 2 is a bottom view. Fig. 3 is a transverse section taken through the center of the same, and Fig. 4 is a sectional view of one of the seat-corners.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
As described in aformer patent, No. 279,637, granted me on the 19th day of June, 1883, the body of the seat herein shown consists of a bottom, A, preferably of wood, and sides and back B, formed of thin sheet metal. The side and back piece thusformed has its lower inwardly-flanged edge secured to the upper surface of'seat-bottom, as shown, and has its upper edge bent horizontally outward to form a flange-like projection, D.
In my present invention I omit the metallic fillet described and shown in said former patent, and substitute therefor a rim or fillet of wood, I), the latter being bent to conform to the curve and line of the flange D of the seat sides and back. This wooden fillet b is secured upon the upper side of the flange D by means of screws, and, being a parallelogram, has horizontal upper and lower sur faces and beveled sides, the inner side being flush and in line with the inner surface of the back and side piece.
The seat-back and the connections between the same and the seat-bottom A is further strengthened by connecting end pieces, 0, of wood, one of which is rigidly secured at its upper end to each end of the fillet, and has its lower end rigidly secured to the seat-bottom in such manner that its outer face will be flush with the edge of said seat-bottom and the end of said fillet. The ends of the metallic sides and back piece, B, are made to project slightly into saw cuts or grooves formed in the rear faces of said end pieces, and thus insure a firm connection between said parts.
F represents the handle-irons, each of which consists of a strip of metal having a foot, f, which is secured to the upper side of the bottom A, on the inner side of the end piece, 0, and, thence being inclined upwardly against the inner face of said end piece, is bent outwardly over the upper end of the latter, and thence downwardly and again inwardly to form a handle, said inwardly-bent portion being secured, as shown, to the face of the front edge of the seat-bottom. The upper side of the handle thus formed has formed therewith a short flat arm, f, the latter extending rearwardly and resting upon the upper surface of the fillet to which it is secured. is provided, as shown,with one or more holes, f
h h represent metallic strips or plates bent to conform to the curve of the fillet-corners, one of said strips being secured to the upper surface of said fillet over each of said corners, and being of such length as to extend a short distance in the direction of the back and sides. Each of these strips 7: is provided, as shown, with suitable holes or perforations, h.
In the above-described construction it will be seen that the necessity of using the metal fillet and the bending of the flange D about said llet is obviated, and the construction and Tonnection of the fillet and seat back and sides are simple, neat, and inexpensive. It will be also seen that the use of a wooden fillet and its position on the seat will facilitate the attachment of the upholstering material thereto.
In connecting the vehicle-top or shiftingrail with the fillet the connecting-pins of said This arm f rail or top are adapted to be. made to enter sions f and strips 71., and extend into correspondingly-located holes formed in the fillet.
As will be observed, the handle-extension f and corner-strips 7L will not only serve to strengthen the connection between the vehicle-top or shifting-rail and the seat, but will greatly aid in strengthening the seat-corners.
In the above-described formation of The V(} hide-seat aninch less expensive a stronger, and cheaper construction of seat is atrainei'l than that shown and described in my former patent above referred to.
Having now fully described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
FRANK A. COMSTOUK.
