SHIFTING SEAT FOR VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 499,369, dated June 13, 1893.
Application filed April 27. 1892.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, JOHN BELME ARM- STRONG and ROBERT PARKER, both residing at Guelph, in the county of Wellington, Province of Ontario, Canada, and CHARLES W. VERNON, residing at Flint, in the county of Genesee and State of Michigan, allsubj ects of the Queen of Great Britain, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shifting Seats for Vehicles; and we hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description oft he same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a perspective view, partly broken away, showing devices embodying our invention when arranged as a single seat. Fig. 2 is an enlarged vertical central section showing the devices extended to form two seats, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal section of the telescoping tail board support.
Like symbols refer to like parts wherever they occur.
Our invention relates to the construction of 1 that class of vehicles adapted to be used either as a single or double seated-conveyance and provided with means for shifting and concealing one of the seats at the will of the user. i
The principal objects in view are the simplification of the devices and the correct balancing of the weight or load. To this end the invention embraces the combination of two sliding seats arranged in different horizontal planes, a pivoted tail-board, and a par- 3 5 ticular arrangement of interposed pivoted and slotted levers and telescoping braces,- whereby the seats and tail board are caused to move in unison for quickly shifting the same and correctly balancing the load, all as 40 will hereinafter more fully appear.
In the drawings A indicates the body of the vehicle which may be of any desired pattern and adapted for either a two or four wheeled vehicle as desired. On each side of the body 5 are two ledges or longitudinal ways a Z) arranged in different planes a sufficient distance apart to permit the free movement of one seat over the other.
C and 1) indicate two seats adapted to slide Serial No. 430,914. (No model.)
back and forth on the ledges or ways a and b, and the upper of said seats C may be provided with a back E and also arm rests (not shown) if desired. Secured to and projecting downward from the seats at each side are short posts 0 and d and connecting said posts at each side are a pivoted lever F having a slot f in which engages a pin 0' on the post 0, and a link rod or floating lever G which is pivotally attached to lever F and the post 61 of the lower seat. The above described pivoted lever connection causes the seats to move in unison to and from each other when either seat is moved, and at the same time allows the lower seat to pass under and be concealed by the upper seat.
H indicates a support and brace for the tail board when the same is dropped to form a continuation of the floor of the vehicle and for use with the lower seat. This brace is composed of a tube I pivoted to the lower seat as at i and a rod K pivoted to the tail board as at k-the parts I and K being arranged to telescope or slide one within the other. Usually two of such telescoping braces are employed as shown in Fig. 1, and by means thereof the tail board is caused to move in unison with the lower seat D, and as said lower seat D through the intermediate connections F and G is caused to move in unison with the upper seat C it is apparent that the conversion of the vehicle from a single to a double seat conveyance, or vice versa is accomplished by simply sliding the upper seat C.
Having thus described our invention, what we claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In-a vehicle, the combination of two sliding seats, arranged in different horizontal planes one above the other, a lever pivoted on the vehicle body and having a slot and pin connection with one of the seats, alever pivotally connected with the other seat and with the lever which is pivoted on the body of the vehicle; a pivoted tail-board, and telescoping braces pivotally connected with the tail-board and one of said sliding seats substantially as and for the purposes specified.
2. In avehicle, the combination of two horitures, in presence of two witnesses, this 21st zontaliy sliding seats arranged in different day of April, 1892.

and one of the shifting seats; substantially Witnesses: as and for the purposes specified. RT. TORRANCE,
In testimony whereof we aflix our signa- R. J. KENNEDY.
