ADJ USTABL E FOOT-REST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 634,582, dated October 10, 1899.
' asthma-.1 July 7,1899. Serial No. 723,043. (roman) To all whom it ma concern.-
Be it known that I, JAMEsA. MOORE, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of Central Falls, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adjustable Foot-Rests, of which the following is a specification;
My invention relates to an improved device in the nature of an adjustable foot-rest to be attached to a childs chair, an invalids chair, go-carts, and any kind of vehicles or carriages in which persons may be conveyed or carried; and the objects of myimprovement are, first, to provide a foot-rest that will adjust itself for the support and rest of the feet in whatever position they may be placed upon it, especially in the case of children and invalids, and, second, to provide a foot rest that will odor-but slight resistance, shock, or jar to l the feet when they strike against it, (the footrest,) especially in the case of children and invalids, more especially children when placed in a high chair. I attain these objects by the construction, combination, and working of the parts, as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which I Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a childs chair, showing my invention attached thereon. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a front elevation of one of the supporting members for the footboard. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 5 is an enlarged cross-sectional view taken in line X X of Fig. 1.
Similar letters of reference correspond to like parts in the drawings.
The footboard A, the supporting members a. a, the coiled-wire spring s themetal chain c, the screws 0', and the rubber hunters p, as
shown in Fig. 5, constitute the framework of my invention, (adjustable foot-rest.)
a in Fig. 1 is one of the supporting members of my invention. 1 is the rounded end of such member. 0 represents the holes or perforations in rib a of such member, as appears in Fig. 4. f is the flange of such member. 0 is the metal chain in Figs. 1, 2, and 5. sis the coiledwire spring. 0' o are the metal screws which fasten and secure chain cto footboard A and front part of frame B of the chair.
My invention is constructed as follows:
Attach baseof flange f of one of the supporting members a in Figs. 3 and 4 to the under part of footboard A by means of metal screws, as appears in Fig. 5, and pass one end of spring .9 through the holes 0 nearest the rounded end 4" of the supporting member a, and keep turning the spring 3, so that said end of springs s will pass through each successive hole 0 in a and around 0., as in Fig. 5, and until said end meets or near flange f. Then pass the opposite end of said wire spring 8 through holes 0 nearest the rounded end rof another supporting member a, and turn said member a so that said end of wire springs shall pass through all the holes 0 in o, of such member and roundedend 1' comes in contact with and meets rounded end r of the firstmentioned supporting member a, as in Fig. 5, and said last-mentioned end of wire spring 5 meets a and flange f of the second-mentioned supporting member. In like manner make another combination of two supporting membGI'S-G, with wire springs, which holds them (said members) together. Secure the base of I nation of two supporting members held together by wire spring 3, as in Fig. 5. To the rear part of footboard A fasten one end of chain c with screw 0' Insert rubber bunters p in recesses countersunk in front part of frame B of the front part oft-he chair, as appears in Fig. 5. Then attach the invention to front part of frame 13 of the chair-first, the bases of the flanges f to frame 13 by means of screws, as in Fig. 5, and, second, the opposite end of chain c toframe B by screw 0'.
This is a complete and detailed description of the construction of my invention, of the several parts of the same, and the attachment and application of the same to the front part of a child's chair, as appears in Fig. l.
The operation or working of my invention is shown in Fig. 5, where itmaybe seen that when the feet are placed upon footboard A in a certain way the foot-rest will rock or incline forward, as indicated by A in Fig. 5, and when the feet are taken oif footboardA the coiled-wire spring s readjusts the footand easy manner.
ventsthe foot-rest from being pulled off by a child or forced off by the feet of a person. What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is
The hereinrdescribed footrest consisting of the combination of the footboa-rd A, the
When the feet are supporting members a at having a projecting flange f formed on one end thereof, the opposite adjoining ends of said members having rounded surfaces, each of said members having a vertical rib a provided with a series of perforations, the coil-spring s passing through said perforations and surrounding both of said members,'with means for securing each s top and, bottom member to the footboard and frame of the chair, and the chain c with means for connecting the footbcard and frame of the 'chairrespectively, as shown and described.v
