UNITED STATES PATENT Y OFFICE.
OLIVER SARONY, OF SOARBOROUGH, ENGLAND.
IMPROVEMENT IN PHOTOGRAPHIC RESTS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent N0. 55,443, dated June 5, 1866.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, OLIVER SARONY, of Scarborough, England, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, have invented or discovered new and useful improvements in the rests or apparatus employed when taking photographs of the human figure; and I, the said OLIVER SARONY, do hereby declare the nature of the said invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed, to he particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement thereof-that is to say:
This invention has for its object improvements in the rests or apparatus employed when taking photographs ofthe human figure. For these purposes the standor pillar which carries the rests is arranged to be fixed by screws to the iloor in any desired position.
Through the upper surface or tube of the stand a bar (or it may be two bars) slides, and it is capable of being raised or lowered and of being retained in any desired position in respect to the upper part or table of the stand.
At the upper end of this sliding bar are applied two horizontal plates, which are capable of being drawn toward each other by a screwbolt and thumb-nut. Between these two plates is a third plate, through which the screw-bolt passes, and about which the third plate can turn, as on an axis. On the third or central plate is a projection, to which is fixed a bent or curved plate, which is formed to receive a slide, to which a chair-back ,is attached, while the seat of the chair is separate, and the part where the back is ordinarily fixed to the seat is masked or hidden by a fringe or drapery. The projection carries a socket, through which an inclined hollow bar or tube slides. This inclined bar or tube can be set fast by a thumbscrew in any desired position. IThe inclined bar or tube .carries at its end a hollow socket, through which socket a cylindrical bar slides and turns, and itis retained in any position by a thumb-screw. This bar, at its end, is formed for receiving the rest for sustaining or supporting the body ofthe person. This rest is composed of two curved plates, which pass through the socket. The plates can be drawn to or from each other through the socket and fixed by a thumb-screw, and the rest can thus be set tothe size desired.
In addition to the slide above mentioned the horizontal bar supports another slide in a dovetail groove or otherwise. This second slide carries a hollow socket, through which an upright cylindrical bar slides and turns. This upright bar is retained in any desired position in its socket bya thumb-screw. At the upper end of this bar is a socket which receives a rod, at the end ot' which is applied the rest for the head, and such rod can be retained in any desired position in its socket by a thumb-screw.
Having thus stated the nature of my said invention, I will proceed more fully to describe the manner of performing the same.
Figure 1 shows a side elevation, Fig. 2 a
back elevation, ofvapparatus constructed and combined according to my invention. Fig. 3 shows a plan of some of the parts. Figs. 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 show detail views of some of the parts.
In each of these figures the saine letters are used to indicate the same parts.
ais the stand, which is xed to the floor, through the upper table or surface of which stand an upright bar, b, slides, which is set fast in any desired position by a set-screw, c, or it may be by other means. If desired, two sliding bars may be used, parallel to each other, to insure additional steadiness; hntone is generally found sufficient. The sliding bar b may be conveniently raised and lowered by rack and pinion, as shown.
At the top of the sliding bar are two plates, d and e, which are drawn together by means of the screw-bolt and nut f. Between these two plates is the plate g, through which the screw-boltf passes, and about which the plate g turns as on an axis, and it can by means of the screw-bolt and nut f be fixed in any desired position.
On the plate g is a projection or bar, h, on which is xed or formed a curved front plate with grooves to receive acurved slide,i, to which a chair-back may be suspended or attached, while the seat of the chair, which is made separa-te from the back, rests on the floor below. This arrangement is found convenient when the person is standing and has one hand on the chair-back.
The projection or bar h carries a socket, j, through which the stem of a bar, 7c, is received, and is set fast therein by a thumb or set screw,
k'. It is preferred that the stem of this bar 7c should be hollow to obtain lightness with stiffness.
At the upper end of the bar k'is e hollow socket, k2, through which e cylindrical ber, l, slides, und it is set fast by ai thumb or set screw therein when in any desired position. The bar 1c at its end receives the support for the body of the person. This support is composed of two curved plates, m mi, the ends of which slide through an opening in the enlarged end of the bar l, und the parts m are held in position by a set or thuinb screw, m.
rI he projection or bur tca-rries 2i slide, n, by preference in e dovetail groove, as showin This slide carries a socket, n, through which an upright cylindrical bar, o, slides, und is set fast therein, at any desired position, by e thumb or set screw, n2. At the upper end of this bar ois e socket, through which it rod,]), slides, and is set fast therein by a thumb-screw.
q is a table or plate introduced on the top of the projection or ber h when the apparatus for supporting` the body is not in use.
It is preferred that all parts of the appa rntus should he of metal, and as light as may be so long` es the requisite stiffness is obtained.
Having thus described the nature of my invention A(ind the manner of performing' the suine, I would have it understood that what I claim is- The combined arrangement of en upright sliding` bar or bers, b, in e suitable stand, the plete g, the part 7L, with ineens of receiving it curved slide, z', the slide n, and the stems or bers k and 0, substantially es herein described, and combined therewith the supports for the body and heed, as described.
