FOOT REST.

ALBERT D. RAY, OF CLEVELAND, OHIO.
FOOT-REST.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Oct. 10, 1905.
Application filed May 2, 1904- Serial No. 205,893.
To all whom, it vmty concern:
Be it known that I, ALBERT D. RAY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cleveland, county of Cuyahoga, and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Foot-Rests, of which the following is a specification, the principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode in which I have contemplated applying that principle so as to distinguish it from other inventions.
My invention relates to foot-rests for use in supporting the foot and shoe thereon for the purpose of cleaning and polishing the latter.
The object of said invention is to provide such a rest which is economical in its construction, efiicient in use, and which may be readily secured to or removed from an upright support, such as the leg of a chair, and which may be adjusted at varying angles relatively to such support.
The said invention consists of means hereinafter fully described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.
The annexed drawings and thefollowing description set forth in detail certain means embodying the invention, such disclosed means constituting but one of various mechanical forms in which the principle of the invention may be used.
In said annexed drawings, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a chair having one of the rests embodying my invention secured and adjusted thereon. Fig. 2 represents a plan view of such rest, and Fig. 3 a side elevation thereof. Fig. 4 represents a side elevation of a modified form of my invention, and Fig. 5 a similar view of a second modified form. I
The device illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3 consists of a body portion to, whose forward end is provided with a shoe-base a cast integral therewith, upon which the foot and shoe is supported, such base being of a form suitable for such purpose. Integral with such base and extending rearwardly is an arm a of said body portion whose rearward extremity is formed with a hook (0 whose opening is toward the front, as shown in Fig. 2. The arm a is of greater depth than width, and such construction is extended forwardly, as shown, to form a supporting or strengthening rib a for the base a. Below said body portion and at a point about midway between its ends is pivoted a rearwardly-extending brace 6, whose downward pivotal movement is limited by a stop-lug 6, adapted to engage the under surface of the base a, as shown. The rear end of such brace is formed with rearwardly-extending bifurcations 6 6 which form a seat for an upright support, such as the leg of a chair. In use the above-described device is secured to the support by causing the hook a to engage the support from the rear and then resting the brace against same, as shown. The pivotal brace renders the device capable of angular adjustment relatively to said support, as will be readily understood.
In the modification shown in Fig. 4 the brace is made integral with the body portion, so that such form is incapable of adjustment.
In the form shown in Fig. 5 the construction is similar to that of the form shown in Fig. 3, with the exception of the construction of the shoe-base. In the modification such shoe-base is made of sheet steel and is riveted to the body by means of rivetlugs a a formed upon the latter. Such construction permits the arm a and rib a to be stamped from bar-iron and made of one piece, so that the entire structure may be made of bar and sheet steel instead of being cast, as in the ease of the previously-described structure.
Other modes of applying the principle of my invention may be employed instead of the one explained, change being made as regards the mechanism herein disclosed provided the means stated by any one of the following claims or the equivalent of such stated means be employed.
I therefore particularly point out and distinctly claim as my invention- 1. A foot-rest comprising a body portion provided at its forward end with a shoe-base and at its rear end with a hook; and a brace mounted upon said body portion by means of a fixed pivot intermediately of the ends of said body portion, said brace extending rearwardly and provided with a seat for receiving an upright support.
2. A foot-rest comprising a body portion provided at its forward end with a shoe-base and at its rear end with a hook having its opening toward the front; and a brace mounted upon said body portion by means of a fixed pivot intermediately of the ends of said body portion, said brace provided with a stop-lug adapted to engage said body portion to limit the pivotal movement thereof and formed at its rear end with a bifurcation forming aseat for an upright support.
IIO
3. Afoot-rest comprisingashoebase,rneans integral With the latter provided with a hook adapted to contact with a support upon one side of the latter, and separate means pivotally connected With said first-named means and provided With a bifurcation adapted to contact with the opposite side of the support, whereby the rest is angularly adjustable, and
" the Weight of the rest causes said hook and bifurcation to bind upon the support to oppose IO each other and support the rest.
Signed by me this 29th day of April, 1904.
