"G. YB. PUTNAM. l COMBINED OANE'AND CAMP STOOL.
.i OO .M 1 o A.. M 0 .0 N N AUNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
GEORGE` B. PUTNAM, OF BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
.COMBINED CANE AND CAMP-STOOL.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 413,962, dated October 29, 1889.
Application tiled November 24, 1888. Serial No. 291,784. (No model.)
ceed to describe.
Of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure l represents a side View of my improved device arranged as a Walking-cane. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of the same arranged as a seat.
Fig. 3 represents a section on line oc Fig. l.
Fig. 4 represents a section on line ly y, Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a bottom plan view of the seat..
The same letters of reference indicate the same parts in all the iigurcs.
In carrying out my invention I provide three rods 2 2 2, preferably of steel tubing, of suitable strength to support a person when in use as a seat, and of such diameter as that they may be inserted at their upper ends into acylindrioal portion a', which constitutes the handle of the cane. The bottom ends of the rods are secured by a ferrule b, adapted to be removed when necessary to form a seat.
The cane is formed into a seat by removing the upper portion a, and sliding a loose ring c down on the rods a vsufficient distance to allow the top and bottom of the same to open and assumethe position represented in Fig. 2, I then place over the `upper ends of the rods a seat d, preferably of duck or other suitable material, said seat being provided with pockets 3 3 3 at each of its corners, adapted to receive the ends of the rods and hold them in position, as shown in the abovementioned figures. Any other suitable means may be Aprovided to engage the seat with the rods.
It will be seen byreference to Fig. 2 that ring c forms aneective device for retaining the rods in position to form a seat, and when the seat d is in position it forms a convenient stool. The rods being hollow, render the device of sufficient lightness to be convenient as a walking-cane.
Vhen using the device as a cane, I prefer to attach the ring c to the upper portion @by a screw-thread, or in any other suitable way, so as to prevent said ring from being lost.
The device is easily and quickly changed from a cane to a seat, as the ferrule b and case a are fitted to be readily removed from the rods. The case ct may be of sufficient length to entirely cover the rods 2. The upper portion of said case may be of sufficient size to permit the seat d to be inserted in it when compactly folded or rolled.
It is obvious that more than three rods may be employed.
I claiml. A seat-support composed of a plurality ycomprising the plurality of rods, the ring loosely secured thereon, the canvas seat having corner pockets, the ferrule, and the handle to which said ring is designed to be secured, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to thisspecification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, this 21st day of November, A. D. 1888.
GEORGE B. PUTNAM.
