WILLIS W. FRANTZ, OF WAYNESBOROUGH, PENNSYLVANIA.
FOLDING SEAT FOR VEHICLES.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 547,779, dated October 15, 1895.
Application filed July 19, 1895.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known thatLWILLIs W. F RANTZ, a citizen of the United States, residing at Waynesborough, in the county of Franklin and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Auxiliary Seats forVehicles; and Ido hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to auxiliary seats for vehicles; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a front view of the seat. Fig. 2 is a side view of the seat. Fig. 3 is a detail sectional view of one of the pivot-joints of the seat. Fig. 4 is a detail view of one of the loops.
The auxiliary seat is provided with two frames A, which are pivotally connected together at or about their centers. Each frame A consists of a rectangular loop or link of resilient material, such as steel, and one loop is narrower than the other, so that the two loops may be crossed and pivoted together. A strip of flexible material 13, such as carpet, connects the upper portions of the two frames, and a second similar strip Goonnects the lower portions of the two frames.
The side portions 0. of the loops are bent out-' wardly in opposite directions above and below their pivots, so as to form spaces D on each side adapted to receive and accommodate the limbs of persons sitting side by side on the same vehicle-seat.
E is an ordinary vehicle-seat adapted to accommodate two persons.
When the auxiliary seat is placed at the .front part of the center of the seat E, it affords accommodation for a third person without inconveniencing the two persons occupying the seat E or obliging them to sit farther apart.
The flexible strip B forms the seat portion of the auxiliary seat, and the lower flexible strip 0 rests upon the cushions of the seat E, conforms to the irregularities of their sur- Serial in. 556,509. (No model.)
face, and prevents them from being abraded by contact with the frames.
When not required in use, the auxiliary end of the second pin after the first pin has been placed in position. The resiliency of the steel loops or links keepsboth pins in position and permits the loops to turn freely on their pivots without rubbing against each other and prevents all noise or rattle at their joints.
In constructing the auxiliary seat it is important to arrange the flexible strips or braces B and O at a tangent to the arcs of curvature of the frames or side portions to which they are connected.
What I claim is- 1. The combination, with a vehicle seat, of an auxiliary seat resting thereon and comprising two crossed and pivoted loops having their upper and lower side portions bent out wardly in opposite directions thereby formin g spaces for the accommodation of the limbs of persons sitting on the vehicle seat one on each side of the auxiliary seat, and strips of flexible material coupling together the two upper and the two lower portions of the said loops, substantially as set forth.
2. An auxiliary seat, comprising two crossed and pivoted rectangular loops, the upper and lower side portions of the said loops being bent outwardly in opposite directions, and strips of flexible material coupling together the two upper and the two lower portions of the said loops, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination, with the two rectangular loops of resilient material, and the strips of flexible material connecting together the two upper and the two lower portions of the said loops; of pivot pins provided with hemispherical ends, engaging with holes extending part way through the side portions of the two upper and the two lower portions of 1c, the said loops, substantially as set forth.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
