FAN AND MIRROR ATTACHMENT FOR ROCKING-CHAIRS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 757,857, dated April 19, 1904.
Application filed May 25, 1903. Serial No. 158,604. (No model.) i
To all 10/1/0777, it many concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN F. YoHo, a citizen of the United States, residing at Seattle, King county, in the State of W ashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Fan and Mirror Attachments for Rocking- Chairs, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
My invention relates to improvements in fan and mirror attachments for rocking-chairs.
My object is to produce an improved means of suspending and operatinga fan and mirror relative to a person sitting in a rocking-chair.
My invention consists of the novel features herein shown, described, and claimed.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective of a rocking-chair, showing my improved fan and mirror attachment in position for use. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the attachment upon an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a perspective of the fan-clamp, mirror-support, mirror, and catch, the fan being removed and the supporting-frame being broken away. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the chair-back clamps, the supporting-frame being broken away. Fig. 5 is a perspective of the fanspreader.
Referring to the drawings in detail, my invention comprises a supporting-frame 1, said supporting-frame consisting of a single wire the center of which forms a pivot 5, said wire being bent to form curved diverging arms extending backwardly and downwardly from the pivot and to form chair-clamps 2, extending downwardly and upwardly in front of the chair-back, and there being cushions 4: upon said clamps, said cushions being formed by slipping rubber tubing onto the wire before it is bent; a fan-spreader 12, said fan-spreader consisting of a wire curved downwardly from its center and sharply turned up at the ends; a spring fan-clamp to receive and hold the outspread fan, said clamp also forming the mirror-support; a catch to hold the fan inoperative,said fan-clamp, mirror-support, and catch consisting of a single wire bent to form hearings to receive said pivot, the central portion of said wire extending downwardly in the shape of a U toform the front member 8 of the clamp, the ends of said wire extending downwardly parallel with the sides of said front member and to a point considerably below the horizontal part of said front member, the first one of said ends being bent to a horizontal position extending across to the second end, back around its vertical part, then across and around said second end again, and terminating in a hook to form said catch 10, the horizontal portions of said first end forming a mirror-socket; a mirror 7, resting in said socket, the side ears of the mirrow-back passing around the vertical portions of said first and second ends, the upper part of the back of the mirror coming in opposition to the horizontal portion of the front member of the clamp, thus completing the rear member 6 of the clamp, and a fan 9 held outspread by said fan spreader and removably inserted in said spring-clamp.
The fan and mirror are located above and in frontof the occupant of the chair. The fan is operated by the rocking of the chair, and the weight of the mirror assists in the operation.
I am aware that fans have been suspended from rocking-chairs, and I do not claim such construction broadly.
WV hen it is desired to render the fan inoperative, the fan-clamp is swung back to a horizontal position and the book 10 engages the frame 1, as indicated in dotted lines at 11.
The bent ends of the fan-spreader 12 are inserted through the fan near its edges to hold the fan outspread, and then the fan is inserted between the front member 8 and the back member 6 of the clamp, with the spreader located parallel with the pivot 5 and near to said pivot and between the parallel vertical members of the clamp. The members 6 and 8 of the clamp are purposely designed to cover a large part of the surface of the fan around the center and upwardly and the spreader l2, firmly held in the clamp. Its ends form arms projecting rigidly from each side of the clamp, and thus the clamp and spreader become a frame for stiffening and strengthening the fan in its outspread position.
1. In a fan and mirror attachment for rocking-chairs, a suitable supporting-frame having a pivot; a fan-spreader, consisting of a wire bent downwardly from its center and sharply turned up at its ends; a fan outspread and of a single wire bent to form bearings to re' ceive said pivot, the central portion of said wire extending downwardly in the shape of a U to form the front member of the clamp, the ends of said wire extending downwardly parallel with the sides of said front member and to a point considerably below the horizontal part of said front member, the first one of said ends being bent to a horizontal position, extending across to and around the second end, back around its vertical part, then across to and around said second end again, and terminating in a hook to form said catch, the horizontal portions of said first end forming a mirror-socket, a mirror resting in said socket, the side ears of the mirror-back passing around the vertical portions of said first and second ends, the upper part of the mirror-back coming in opposition to the horizontal portion of the front member of the clamp, thus completing the rear member of the spring fan-clamp; said fan and fan-spreader being removably mounted in said spring-clamp, substantially as specified.
2. In a fan and mirror attachment for rocking-chairs, a suitable supporting-frame having. a pivot; and a spring-clamp mounted on said pivot; said spring-clamp consisting of a single wire bent to form hearings to receive said pivot, the central portion of said Wire extending downwardly in the shape of a U to form the front member of the clamp, the ends of said wire extending downwardly parallel with the sides of said front member and to a point considerably below the horizontal part of said front member, the first one of said ends being bent to a horizontal position, extending across to and around the second end, back around its vertical part, then across to and around said second end again, thus forming a mirrorsocket, a mirror in said socket, the side ears of the mirror-back passing around the vertical portions of said first and second ends, the upper part of the mirror-back coming in opposition to the horizontal portion of the front member of the clamp, thus completing the rear member of the spring fan-clamp, substantially as specified.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in presence of two subscribing witnesses. 1
