FOOT-REST FOR CHAIRS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 668,268, dated February 19, 1901.
Application filed October 2, 1899. Serial No. 732,267. (No model.)
To all whrmt it may concern.-
Be it known that I, CHARLES E. STREIT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Foot-Rests for Chairs, of which the following is a specification.
In chairs having foot-rests as heretofore made the foot-rest when not in use is always conspicuous as such, making the chair awkward and inartistic in appearance.
The object of my invention is a foot-rest which when not in use may he pushed back and become part of the chair, so that it looks like a chair with no foot-rest. This object is attained by the means described in the annexed specification and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective View of an ordinary Morris chair provided with the foot-rest embodying my invention, the foot-rest being shown drawn out in position for use. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the foot-rest pushed back, so as to appear as part of the upholstering. Fig. 3 is a central vertical detail view of the frame of the chair with the seat, back, and rod removed, showing the foot-rest partially drawn out.
Referring to the parts, the side frames A A, the seat B, the back C, and the rod 0 are all of ordinary construction and need not therefore be more specifically described. Upon the interior of each of the side rails or a are secured two parallel strips a a leaving ways a between them. The chair has two crossrails a a in front, between which is left a slot a to register with the ways a The frame, upon the front end of which is hinged a foot-rest D, consists of side rails d d and cross-rails d d and slides in the ways a through the slot 60 its forward movement being limited by cotter-pins (1 in the cross-rail d abutting against the inner faces of the cross-rails a a The foot-rest D has upholstering 01 similar to that of the seat and back, and is secured by hinges d to the forward ends of the side rails d (1 so that when in use it readily assumes an angle, such as shown in Fig. 1, to
receive the occupants feet, and when not in use as readily assumes an angle, such as shown in Fig. 2, to fit snugly against and cover the cross rails when pushed back in so that it becomes part of the chair.
What I claim is- 1. In a chair the combination of side frames having ways upon the interior thereof front cross-rails with a slot or way in them to register with the Ways in the side frames, the frame of the foot-rest to slide in said ways, and the foot-rest of a length equal to or greater than the length of the slot in the crossrails and hinged to said frame so that it rests in substantially a horizontal position to receive the occupants feet in the open position and in the closed stands in substantially a vertical position to fit snugly against and cover the front face of the cross-rails and the slot therein, substantially as shown and described.
2. In a chair the combination of side frames, side rails, parallel strips secured to theinner sides of the side rails leaving ways between them, front cross-rails with a way in them to register with the ways in the side frarnes, a frame for a foot-rest sliding in said Ways, and a foot-rest of a length equal to or greater than the length of the way in the cross-rails and hinged to the front of said frame to receive the occupants feet in the open position and to fit against the front face of the crossrail in the closed position, substantially as shown and described.
3. The combination of a chair having an upholstered back and seat, a chair-frame having ways therein below the seat, a frame for the foot-rest sliding in the ways below the seat, and an upholstered foot-rest of a length equal to or greater than the length of the ways below the seat and hinged to the forward end of the sliding frame to receive the occupants feet when drawn out and to fit snugly against the lower edge of the seat and form part of the upholstering of the chair when pushed in, substantially as shown and described.
4. In a chair the combination of a chairframe having ways in the side frames and cross-rail and forms part of the upholstering of the chair, substantially as shown and de front cross-rail thereof, 'a frame fora footrest to slide in said Ways, an upholstered seat and back, and a foot-rest of a length equal to scribed. or greater than the length of the Way in the CHARLES F. STREIT. cross-rail upholstered similarly to the seat and back hinged to the sliding frame so that in its closed position it fits against the front i Witnesses: 4 WALTER F. MURRAY,
