RBCLINING CHAIR. APPLICATION FILED JAN. 27, 1905.
WILLIAM KIMBALL RICE, OF WVINONA, MINNESOTA.
RECLINlNG-CHAIR.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 28, 1905.
Application filed January 2'7, 1905. Serial No. 242,907-
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM KIMBALL Bron, a citizen of the United States, residing at Winona, in the county of Winona and State of Minnesota, have invented new and useful Improvements in Reclining-Chairs, of which the following is a specification.
This invention is an improved recliningchair characterized particularly by a suspended cushion which forms the seat and back and which can be adjusted to various positions, as will more fully appear hereinafter. The back of the chair is also adjustable to form either a reclining or an upright chair.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the chair, parts being shown in section. Fig. 2is a perspective view of the cushion.
The frame of the chair includes side rails 6 and a front rail 7, mounted upon legs 8 and supporting-arms 9, panels 10 being inserted to form a closed side. The side frames of the back are indicated at 11, pivoted at 12 to the rear legs and connected at the top by a crossbar 13. The back is not joined to the rear ends of the arms, but opens away from the same when the back is swung backward. The inclination of the back is regulated by racks 1 1, which are pivotedat 15 to the side frames of the back, extending through slots 16 therein. Each rack works in and out of a recess 17, formed in the rear frames 18 of the chair, and has forwardly-presented teeth which are engageable with a pin 19. To prevent sudden flop or movement of the back, springs 20 are connected in tension between the bars 11 and the seat-frame, being housed in recesses formed in the rear frame 18.
A cushion or sheet of fabric is indicated at 21. This is preferably padded to form a cushion, but may be a single sheet of fabric, if desired. At the end it is looped, as at 22, to receive rods 23, between which the sheet is suspended. This sheet is of sufficient length to extend from the top of the back of the chair and down around the front rail of the seat and under the same with sufficient sag or slack to form a comfortable seat and back. The rods 23 project somewhat beyond the ends of the loops and are engaged at the top in notches 24, formed in the back-frames, and at the bottom in the notches of racks 26, fixed to the inner side of the side bars 6. The rod is engageable in any one of the series of notches to allow more or less slack and to consequently vary the adjustment or sag of the seat. In connection with the adjustable back this allows great variety of adjustment, including variation of the height of the seat and inclination of the back. The cushion can be readily removed by taking the rods out of the notches and may be thus reversed if and when desired. So the cushion may be made one side of heavy canvas and the other side ornamental fabric, such as plush or the like, to suit different occasions of use as, for instance, on the porch and in the parlor. The projecting ends of the racks 1 1 allow them to be lifted to disengage the notches from the pin 19, so that the back can be set at the desired adjustment. In addition to being reversible as to sides the cushion is reversible as to ends, as the rods are made to fit the notches at either the top or the bottom. The hooks 28 at the ends of the racks 1 1 prevent excessive drop backward.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
A chair having a seat-frame, and a backframe, the seat-frame having racks secured to the side bars thereof, a seat and back made of flexible material connected at the top to the back and extending at the lower end around and under the front bar of the seat-frame, and having at said end a bar adjustably engaged in the racks.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
WILLIAM KIMBALL RICE.
