' EZEQGEFIQAIION forming part of Letters Patent NO. 668826, dated February 26, 1901- Application filed November 9, 1900. Serial No. 35,977. (No model.)
To rtZZ whom/ zit ntay concern.-
Be it known that I, LINLEY G. WADE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Holly, in the county of Oakland and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Folding Camp-Stool, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to folding cam p stoolsand the like; and the object of the same is to provide simple and effective means for con uecting the legs to permit folding the said legs in close relation and to brace them when in open supporting adjustment against each other and the connecting device and com pletely obviate impairmentof the strength of the legs by the injurious penetration in a material manner of the parts of the said connecting device, and thereby produce a more strong and durable structure.
This invention consists in the construction and arrangement of the several parts, which will be more fully hereinafter described and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a folding camp-stool embodying the features of the invention and shown open. Fig. 2 is a horizontal section through the legs in a plane just above the connecting device and showing the position of the legs when closed. Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3 3, Fig. 2.
Similar numerals of reference areemployed to indicate corresponding parts in the several views.
The numeral 1 designates legs, which are threein number and substantially triangular in cross-section, the outer side edge of each leg being rounded or convex and the two remaining sides straight and converging toward each other, as clearly shown by Fig. 2. The lower ends of the legs are suitably cut olI" at an angle to make them have a firm and even contact with a base-rest, and to the upper ends of the said legs a triangular canvas seat 2 is firmly secured and is adapted to fold inwardly between the legs when the latter are closed to reduce the stool to compact form. To the outer intermediate portion of one of the legs a strap or other handle 3 is secured, whereby the folded stool may be conveniently carried from one place to another.
The principal feature of the present invention is the'attachment for connecting or providing a fulcrum for the legs, andit comprises a substantially heart-shaped ring 4, which in the main is of the form in cross-section as shown by Fig. 3 and has opposite enlargements 5,with screw-threaded openings therethrough, and at another point in the ring a smooth fulcrum-post 6 extends horizontally inward and into a suitable socket 0r seat in one of the legs. The post 6 and the enlargements 5 are arranged in triangular relation, and through the said enlargement-s screws 7 are removably inserted and extend into the other two legs, and by this means the two legs will be pivotally connected to the ring. All the legs can be easily removed from or inserted in the ring a, and it will be seen that their strength is not in the least impaired in view of the fact that the several pivoting devices do not completely pass through the legs, and the weight-strain is disposed on the legs by the said pivoting devices in the direction of the grain with obviousadvantages. lhelegs will be constructed of suitable light wood and are arranged to fold inwardly toward each other in close relation, and when extended will provide a stable support for the person occupying the same. The shape of the ring tin cross-section also materially adds to the stability of the support of the legs by forming an intermediate brace therefor, and as said ring is applied at a point where the greatest strain is concentrated it serves an important function in strengthening the said legs where they would be otherwise liable to break or fracture.
Though the preferred form of the ring has been shown and described, it is obviously apparent that changes in the form, size, proportions, and minor details thereof may be resorted to Without in the least departing from the principle of the invention.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is- 1. Ina folding stool 0f the character set forth, the combination of closely-folding legs having a flexible seat attached thereto, of a fulcrum-supporting device surrounding said legs at an intermediate point and havingfulcrum members extending into the legs, one
combination of a substantially heartshaped ring surrounding the legs of the same, the said ring having a fulcrum post extending inwardly into one of the legs, and fulcrumscrews projecting inwardly through other opposite portions of the ring and removably engaging the remaining legs.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto aflixed my signature in the presence of two Witnesses.
LINLEY c. WADE.
