COMBINED CANE 'AND SEAT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 768,882, dated August 30, 1904.
Application filed April 25, 1904.
T0 at whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, FREDERICK H. MORSE, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Cane and Seat, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
My invention relates to a walking-cane so constructed of sections that it may be opened into a condition so that the sections may receive the connection of a seat member on which the user of the cane may rest when weary.
Figure I is a perspective view of my combined caneand seat in open condition. Fig. II is an enlarged longitudinal section taken through the lower end of the cane in closed condition. Fig. III is a side view of a fragment of the upper part of the cane in closed condition. Fig. IV is a cross-section taken on line IV IV,'Fig. III. Fig. V is a crosssection taken on line V V, Fig. III.- Fig. VI is a perspective view of one end of the seat member used in connection with the cane.
1 designates the body of my cane, which is split longitudinally to provide a staff 2, pivoted to the lower end of said body, as seen in Fig.1. The body of the cane is provided with a head 3, and the split portion thereof extends from a point 4 below the upper end of the cane to a point 5 near its lower end. Fitted to the lower end of the cane-body is a ferrule 6, that contains a tip 7, preferably of rubber.
The cane-body being split to furnish the staff 2 renders both of said members throughout an extent corresponding to the length of the stafi semicircular in cross-section, so that when the members are assembled the flat faces thereof will rest against each other to complete the round symmetrical body of the cane. Secured to the lower end of the cane-body at the point of pivotal connection of the staif thereto are pivot-plates 8, that are united by a rivet 9, the method of securing said pivot-plates being preferably that of providing ears 10, carried by the plates, as seen in Fig. I, full lines, and
Serial No. 204,741. (No model.)
Fig. II, dotted lines, which embrace the canebody and staff.
11 designates'a band encircling the cane- 5 body at the upper end of its semicircular portion and provided with an eye 12, that is presented toward the staff-section 2 when said section is swung into open position.
13 is a band fitted to the upper end of the stafl-section 2 and provided with an eye 14, that is presented toward the cane-body when said staff-section is in open condition.
15 designates a seat member of flexible material, such as canvas or leather, and to the two ends of which are secured books 16 and 17, that are adapted for insertion into the eyes of the bands 11 and 13. r
18 is a retaining-ring loosely fitted to the' cane-body above the band 11 thereon, this 5 ring being adapted to embrace and hold the stafl-section 2 to the cane-body when the parts are in closed condition, for which purpose the staff-section is continued slightly beyond the band13 thereon to receive said ring, as 7 illustrated in Figs. I and III. By this arrangement the parts are held closely assembled when the article is being used as a walking-cane.
When it is desired to convert the article into a seat, the retaining-ring 18 is slipped upwardly on the cane-body, as indicated by dotted lines, Fig. III, thereby freeing the stafl-section 2, so that it may be swung out' wardly away from the cane-body on its pivot- 30 point. The hooks of the seat member 15 are then introduced into the eyes of the bands 11 and 13, thereby rendering the article suitable as a rest upon which a person may be seated and supported. In the use of the article as a 5- seat the lower end of the cane-body rests upon the ground, and a person seated upon the seat member may sit sidewise thereon and maintain an upright postureby holding the head of the cane in the hand, or he may sit astride 9 of the seat member. and hold the head of the cane or rest his elbows thereupon to maintainthe article in upright position. When the article is used as a cane only, theseat member may be readily disconnected from the cane-body and staff and carried in the pocket, so as to be handy in case it is desired to convert the article into a seat from time to time.
I claim as my invention 1. ln a combined cane and seat, the combination of a cane-body, a staff pivoted to the lower end of said body, a retaining-ring slidably fitted to the upper portion of said body, bands encircling said body and stalf, and a seat member adapted to be detachably connected to said bands, substantially as set forth.
2. In a combined cane and seat, the combi- FREDERICK H. MORSE.
