FOOT' REST.
Patented Aug. 16, 1892.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
PETER WARD, OF RYE, NEWV YORK.
FOOT-REST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 480,797, dated August 16, 1892.
Application filed September 15,1891. Serial No. 405,801. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, PETER WARD, of Rye, Westchester county, New York, have invented an Improved Foot-Rest for Chairs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to an adjustable footrest of novel construction and designed to be used for oflioe-stools, babies chairs, and similar articles of furniture.
It consists in the various features of improvement more fully pointed out in th claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figures 1 and 2 are elevations of a stool provided with my improved foot-rest and taken at right angles to each other. Fig. 3 is an enlarged section on line x 00, Fig. 2; Fig. 4:, an end View of the foot-board, and Fig. 5 a vertical section through the same. Fig. 6 is a side view, on an enlarged scale, of the rack with the foot-board tilted.
The letters a a represent the legs of a chair, stool, or similar article of furniture. To two of these legs there are secured upright racks I), placed parallel to each other and provided with the inwardly-bent ends b, so that the racks stand off from the chair-legs.
c is the foot-board, extending across the racks, Fig. 1. This foot-board is provided with a beveled inner edge 0, that is reinforced by a base-plate c sunk into the footboard, Fig. 5. The foot-board is held to the racks by means of hooks d, pivoted at dto the ends of the foot-board and embracing the racks. These hooks permit the foot-board to be tilted and moved along the rack, but not to be disengaged therefrom. Each hook is notched at its lower edge, as at CF, to engage a pin e, projecting laterally from the edge of the foot-board.
In use the foot-board, if to be adjusted, is tilted upon the teeth of the rack as a fulcrum. When its beveled inner edge 0' has assumed a position parallel to the rack, the foot-board may be raised or lowered to the desired extent. Then the foot-board is swung outward into a horizontal position, so that its plate 0 rests upon and is supported by the teeth of racks b. Downward tilting of the foot-board will now be prevented by the pins 6, engaging the notches d of hooks d, and thus the foot-board is in proper position to serve as a foot-rest.
What I claim is- The combination of a chair with a pair of bent racks b, secured to the chair-legs, afootboard-c, having beveled edge 0', supported upon the teeth of the rack, hooks d, pivoted to the ends of the board and embracing the racks, and with pins e, secured to the footboard below the hooks, substantially as specified.
PETER WARD.
