UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JOHN \VORTl-I CAMPBELL, OF TORONTO, ONTARIO, CANADA, ASSlGNOR OF ONE-THIRD TO JOHN FRANCIS LOGAN, OF SAME PLACE.
H EAD-REST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 409,389, dated August 20, 1889.
Application filed August 1, 1887. Renewed December 14, 1888. Serial No. 293,656. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, JOHN lVORlH CAMP- BELL, commercial traveler, of the city of Toronto, in the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, Canada, have invented a certain new and useful Improved llead Rest, of which the following is a specification.
The object of the invention is to design a portable head and arm rest which will occupy [O butlittle space, and which may be made adj ustable so as to suit persons of different sizes, and speciallyadapted to seats in railway-carriages and it consists, essentially, of a standard having jaws at its lower end adapted to grip the I 5 back of a seat, on which standard is sleeved an upper standard carrying the cushion,with means for adjusting the height of the cushion, which is an air-cushion fitted on a springmetal frame. Side straps attached to the frame of cushion extend downward at each side of the user, which are buckled to a seatstrap, on which the user sits, a series of small curved lugs being connected with the side straps, on which arm-rests may be placed at a height suitable for the user.
'Figure 1 is a View of my head-rest. Fig. 2 is a detail showing mode of adjusting the height of head-rest.
In the drawings like letters of reference indicate similar parts in both figures.
In Fig. 1, A is the back of a seat, on which is placed the lower standard B, curved at a and forming with the lower portion h of the upper standard O jaws a and 7e, which are 3 5 adapted to grip the back of the seat. On this lower standard B is sleeved the upper standard C, carrying the metal frame 0, which forms a bed for the cushion D, which is buckled thereto. This cushion is an air- 0 cushion with screw-nozzle (I, through which it is inflated. The standards and frame are of spring metal, and preferably covered with leather or other suitable material.
E are side straps attached to the metal 5 frame of the cushion and carrying a series of curved lugs e, on which may be hung, at a height suitable to the user, loops F for armrests. The side straps E are made adjustable as to length to suit the user by being buckled to a seat-strap G.
In Fig. 2, the detail of adjustable standard,
the lower standard B, which is placed on the back of the seat, has a sleeve 7) formed thereon, to receive and hold in position the lower end of. upper standard 0, which is pierced with an elongated slot 71 to receive athumb-screw H, which also is adapted to pass through a hole in the lower standard B and bind the upper to the lower standard at the adjusted height.
Having described the head-rest in position so as to give the required height for cushion, the user sits on the seat-strap G, which has a buckle at each end, and having buckled the side straps E thereto, making them of the rcqu ired length, can rest his head on the cushion. The arm-rests F are also hung on a lug e at the required height, and will be found very convenient when reading a book.
What I claim as my invention is- 1. An adjustable head-rest adapted to be attached to the back of a seat having an adjustable supporting-strap connected at each side to the cushioned end of the rest, and held in place by the weight of the user, who sits on said supporting-strap, substantially as specified.
2. An adjustable head-rest adapted to be attached to the back of a seat having an adjustable supporting-strap connected at each side to the cushioned end of the restand passing under the seat of the user,who sits thereon, and having adjustably attached to said supporting-strap loops which form arm-rests, substantially as specified. 8 5
3. The combination,with the back of a seat, of lower standard B, having sleeve Z) for lower end of the upper standard O, and adapted to receive in an elongated slot h thumb-screw l-I,wl1ich adj ustably binds the upper standard 0 .O to said lower standard, the lower portion of said standards forming jaws which grip the back of seat, together with the frame O, air-cushion 1), having screw-nozzle d, the side straps E, and seat-strap G, substantially 5 as specified.
4:- The combination,with the back of a seat, of lower standard B, and upper standard O sleeved thereon, the lower portions of said standards forming jaws which grip the back of said seat, the upper standard being held adjustably in position by means of thumbscrew I-I,whioh passes through said standards, together With the air-cushion D, suitably attached to said upper standard and provided with means for inflating said cushion, the
5 side straps E, having lugs 6 attached thereto, arm-rests F, and seat-strap G, substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.
5. The combination,with the back of a seat, of lower standard B, and upper standard 0 1o sleeved thereon, adapted to be attached to the back of said seat and held adj usi'ably in position, the upper standard 0, to which is suitably attached the cushion D, together with the side straps E, lugs e, arm-rests F, and seat-strap G, substantially as specified.
