JOHN E. CARROLL, on PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA, ASSIGNOR or ONE- HALF TO FRANK J. CAMPBELL, OF SAME PLACE.
CHAlR-BRACE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 544,025, dated August 6, 1895. Application filed June 14,1894- Serial No. 514,506. (N model.)
ToaZZ whom it may concern: by placing the hinge on the under side of the Be it known that I, JOHN E. CARROLL, a bar, so as to allow the adjacent ends of the citizen of the United States, residing at the two parts to abut against each other when the city and county of Philadelphia and State of device is opened out, as seen in Fig. 1. The
Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and free or lower end of the part d is attached to useful Improvements in Chair- Braces, of the leg A by a hinge e, and the free end of the which the following is'a full, clear, and exact part at to the frame of the chair-seat by a description, reference being had to the achinge, which, though hidden by the other companyingdrawings, of which parts in the drawings is an ordinary hinge 10 Figure 1 is a side elevation opened out as ofthe same character as thoselettered b midin use; Fig. 2, a similar elevation in the folded way between which it is attached to the chairposition; Fig. 3, a rear elevation of Fig. 2. seat.
The nature of this invention is a collapsi- F -is a two-part hinged brace-bar similar to ble brace for a chair, more especially a childs the bar D, one end of which is connected by 15 high chair, which device, when not in actual a hinge f to the leg A, and the other end is A use, may be folded up against the back of the pivoted to a round 9 of the chair, as indicated chair; but when opened out the foot of its by the dotted lines in the drawings. The supporting-leg will rest firmly upon the floor meeting ends of the parts of this bar are conat a considerable distance to the rear of the nected by a hinge f similar to hinge d of 20 chair-legs, and thus, by practically enlarging bar D. On the under side of said bar F is a the base-support of the chair, will obviate the coiled spring f one end f of which is seliability to serious accidents which have occured to the bar on one side of the joint, and curred by the toppling backward ofchairsthe other end f spans the joint and bears as, for example, in the case of a child seated with some force against the under side of that 25 in its high chair, near a window, pushing with part of the bar. its feet against the window-sill or wall and Having thus described the construction of thereby throwing the chair and itself over my invention, its operation and manner of backward. using are as follows: Normallythe device is Theprecise character of the improvement, folded back, as seen in Fig. 2, in order to 0 which is simple in construction, application, economize space and for convenience of handand operation, will clearly appear from the ling the chair when not in use. In this posifollowing description, reference being had to tion, it will be observed, the two-part bracethe annexed drawings, which show the device bar D is, so to say, doubled up back to back attached a childs chair. against the back of the chair and projecting 5 A is the brace, leg, or support, having, prefupward between the arms 13. The parts of the erably, a laterally-projecting foot .or base a supplemental bar F are at an angle to each to rest upon the floor. This leg is pivoted to other and project partially beneath the chair, and between the outer ends of two divergent while the base of the supporting-leg is elearms B B by a bolt 1'). The free ends of said vated some distance from the feet of the chair- 0 arms are provided with hinges b the outer legsthat is to say, all the movable parts of limb of each of which hinges is secured or the device are brought as close as possible to adapted to be secured to the framepiece c the back of the chair. of a chair-seat O. In order to open out the device for use it is D is an inclined brace-bar composed of two merely requisite to seize hold of the legA and 45 parts (1 d connected at their junction by a draw or press it outwardly and downwardly, 5 hinge d in-a manner to constitute a kneewhen the several parts will finally assume the joint, in order to permit the upward opening positions illustrated in Fig. 1. In this posiof said parts, but stopping their downward tion the foot of said leg rests upon the floor movement when they arrive in a straight line. and is firmly held and braced by the several 50 This result is attained in the present instance hinged bars, and it will be obvious that the liability of the chair being overturned backward is practically obviated, which is the ultimateobject of the invention.
The device may be returned to the folded position by simply pressing upwardly against the under side of the hinged bar D, thereby causing it to open out or take an angular position, and then by pressing leg A up and back toward the chair. As the legA rises the spring f acting against bar F, causes the two parts thereof to open upwardly, and thus permits said bar to finally assume the position shown in Fig. 2. This spring may, however, be dispensed with, in which case itwill be necessary, when collapsing the device, to press upwardly beneath bar F as well as bar D.
As the sole object of bar F is to constitute a stop to arrest the outward throw or movement of leg A, any other suitable jointed or flexible connection may be substituted therefor-as, for example, a chain, rope, or the like.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The collapsible, extensible chair-brace consisting of the combination of the arms B, the supporting leg pivoted between the converging end portions of said arms .13, the twopart knee-jointed brace bar, and the jointed or flexible connection F, together with means for pivotally attaching the free ends of said arms and bars to a chair, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination With a chair of the divergent arms pivoted to the chair, the supporting leg pivoted to and between said arms, the oblique two part knee jointed brace barD pivoted to said chair, and to the intermediate portion of said supporting leg and the jointed or flexible connection F, below the brace bar D all constructed and adapted to operate sub stantially as and for the purpose set forth.
3. The collapsible, extensible chair brace consisting of the combination of the arms B, the supporting leg pivoted thereto, the two part knee jointed brace bar D, the two part; knee jointed bar F, and the springf together with means for pivotally attaching said arms and bars to a chair, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto affixed mysignatnre in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
JOHN E. CARROLL.
