NITED STATES PATENT ARM-BEST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,839, dated December 30, 1890. Application filed July 29, 1890. Serial No. 360,290. (No model.)
T0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GEORGE BENJ. STEIN- HAUER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Reading, in the county of Berks and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Arm- Rests and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and eXact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to improvements in arm-rests adapted to be placed upon a storecounter, table, or other object for the purpose of supporting the arm while a glove is being fitted to the hand.
As now ordinarily practiced, much difficulty is experienced in fitting kid gloves to the hand, owing to the fact that there is no support for the arm, thus rendering the operation not only very tiresome to the person to whose hand the glove is being fitted, but also very troublesome to the operator.
The object of my invention is to provide a simple, economical, and efficient device by which the arm can be supported while a glove is being fitted to the hand, whereby the operation is facilitated and the labor decreased.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter described, and specifically defined in the claims.
In the accompanying draw-'inge, Figure 1 is a side View of an arm-rest constructed in accordance with myinvention. Fig. 2 is a een tral vertical section of the same. Fig. 3 is a plan view.
In the said drawings, the referencenumeral 1 designates a rectangular plate, of wood, metal, or other suitable material, which forms the base or support for the arm-rest 2. This rest is preferably made of metal, and consists of a base portion 3, formed with or secured to the plate 1. The base portion is centrally recessed, forming a seat for the elbow, and may be provided with a pad at, which forms a cushion for the elbow.
Extendin g upwardly from opposite sides of the base 3 are the curved supports 6 and 5 to receive, respectively, the forearm and that portion of the arin between the elbow and shoulder. It will be noticed that the portion 6 is somewhatlonger than the part 5, so that when the arm is placed in the rest the hand and wrist will project outwardly therefrom. These parts 5 and 6 are Ina-de to conform to the shape of the arm, so that the same will fit snugly therein.
In the plate 1, immediately in front of the arm-rest, is an annular fiange 7, forming a receptacle for a powder-can 8. This can is designed to contain powder to be placed upon the hands for facilitatin g the operation of putting on the gloves, and may be secured in place by means of the spring 9.
The operation will be readily understood. The person to whose hand the glove is to be fitted places the arm in the rest, the elbow being supported upon the pad in the base 3, the forearm resting in support 6 and the upper portion of the arm in the support 5. The hand and wrist Will project beyond the support 6, thus enabling the operator to fit the glove with but little trouble, as the arm is rigidly supported and prevented from movement, and the operation will be less tiresome to the arm.
Instead of securing the rest to the base 1, it may be secured directly to a counter or other object, although I prefer to form it with said base, s0 that it can be moved from place to place, as described.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is- 1. An arm-rest adapted to be secured to a counter or other object, consisting of a base forming an elbow-seat and opposite upwardly-extending supports for the fore and upper parts of the arm, substantially as described.
2. An arm-rest consisting of a base forming an elbow-seat and opposite upwardly-extending curved supports for the fore and upper parts of the arm, and a base-plate to which said rest is secured, substantially as described.
3. An arm-rest consisting of a recessed base 'with a pad or cushion located therein, form- 'and upper parts of the arm, and a base-plate IOO to which the rest is secured, substantially as In iostimony that I claim the foregoing as IO described. l :my own I have hereunto amxed my signature 4.
