No. 436,327. Patented Sept/I6, 1890.

UNITED. STATES PATENT OFFICE,

GEORGE W. ARCHER, OF ROCHESTER, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR TO THE ARCHER MANUFACTURING COMPANY, OF SAME PLACE.

BARBERS-CHAIR ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Iatent No. 436,327, dated September 16, 1890.

Application filed December 24, 1889. Serial No. 334,824. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, GEORGE W. ARCHER, of the city of Rochester, county of Monroe, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Barbers-Chair Attachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

My present invention has for its object to provide a childs-seat attachment for barbers, dentists, and similar chairs, whereby a child may be operated upon without requiring a special high chair for the purpose, and also whereby the height of said seat maybe readily adjusted as desired; and said invention consists in certain novelties of construction and combinations of parts, all as will be hereinafter fully described, and the novel features pointed out in the claims at the end of this specification.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the application of my attachment to a barbers chair; Fig. 2, a longitudinal sectional view through a chair and attachment; Fig. 3, a rear View of the attachment.

Similar letters of reference in the several figures denote similar parts.

The letter A represents a barbers or dentists chair of ordinary or any preferred construction, having the usual socket or recess B at the back for a headrest, and a catch or look C, which cooperates with said head-rest when in position and looks it at any desired height.

D represents a childs seat or chair constructed with a back, seat, arms, and, preferably, a foot-rest, and having attached to the upper portion of its back a standard or bar E, having teeth e thereon and adapted to pronions E on the upper end of standard E, so that there will be a pivotal connection between the standard and seat, and thus, no matter what its vertical movements may be, permit it to rest evenly against the back of chair A, even though the upholstering of the lower portion of the back of the latter may project forward.

secured in position by other means than av catch 0, the standard E could be made to conform to that of the head-rest and fastened in position by the means employed to hold said rest.

I do not claim, broadly, a childs-seat attachment adapted to be suspended from the back of a supporting chair, as this is not my invention.

I claim as my invention- 1. An attachment for barbers or similar chairs, consisting of a childs seat having a standard or bar pivotally attached to its up per portion, adapted to enter the head-rest socket in said chair, substantially as described.

2. An attachment for barbers or similar chairs, consisting of a childs seat having a standard or bar attached to its upper portion with ratchet-teeth thereon and adapted to enter the head-rest socket in said chair, substantially as described.

3. The combination, with a barbers or similar chair having a head-rest socket and a catch located at one side thereof, of an attachment therefor consisting of a childs seat having a standard or bar attached to its upper portion, and provided with ratchet-teeth,

with which the catch co-operates, substan tially as described.

GEORGE W. ARCHER.
