CAR-SEAT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented May 8, 1906.
Application filed October 26, 1904. Serial No. 230,115.
- To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. HEUL- INGs, Jr., a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city and county of Philadelphia, State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Car-Seats, of which the following is a description.
My object is to produce a simple and inexpensive swing-back seat for railway-cars which will be compact and which maybe used for either open or closed cars and in which the operating-levers may be curved to provide clearance for the various parts of the car.
Further objects of my invention will be hereinafter described, and further pointed out in the claims.
In the drawings forming a part of this specification and in which similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, Figure l is an elevation of a car-seat embodying my invention as used for open cars and in which the back is shown in the position when being shifted. Fig. 2 is an end elevation thereof, the position of the back when being shiftedb e- Fig. 3 is a plan view of the end of the seat nearest the carstanchion.
The mechanical parts of my invention may be applied to any suitable car-seat having a support 1 on which is mounted a cushion 2.
I will describe my invention as applied to an open or summer car, in which the seatcushion is made stationary. For this use the back 3 has partly-different operating means at each end to meet the requirements. On the inner end, or the one near the center aisle of the car, Ihave provided a suitable positioning-lever 4, which is pivoted to the upper part of the back on a stud 5 and passes down to a point near the floor, where it is again pivoted on a stud 6', which is secured to a part of the seat-frame, the lever being preferably curved at the points 7 and 8 to allow it to clear the cushion and not protrude otherwise. Where the lever is pivoted at the lower end, I provide an elongated opening 9for the stud, so that the lever will have a movement thereon in the swinging of the back. This lever, which I preferably term a positioning-lever, determines the position of the upper part of the back, as will be seen hereinafter. For the purpose of carrying the back and also guiding the same I provide a carryinglever 10, which is pivoted on a stud 11 to the lower part of the back and is pivoted on its lower end to a shaft 12, journaled to the under side of the cushion (it may be on the frame, if desired) at the middle of the seat end. A stud 13 is provided on the last lever and passes through and engages with the positioning-lever in the elongated opening 14 in the latter, which allows for the upward movement of the positioning-lever the same as on the lower stud 6. The opposite end of the seat is somewhat different to meet the requirements of an open car, and for this use the seat is curved on the end 15 to conform to the shape of the seat end panel. A carryinglever 16, similar to the one on the opposite end of the seat, is similarly attached to the back at the bottom and to the same shaft 12 as is the other carrying-lever, whereby the two will operate together and may be called a pair. The carrying-lever on this end of the seat is curved to conform to the curved end 15 of the seat, whereby it may operate between the seat end and the panel. For the purpose of steadying and holding the upper side of the back I have provided an arm 17, which is pivoted on a pivot 18 to the upper part of the back and is provided with an elongated opening 19. A stud 20 is secured to the carstanchion 21, which engages in the slot 19, so that the arm 17 swings on the stud and holds the back against stresses when the latter is in either one of its extreme positions. For the purpose of defining the limit of movement of the levers and as a support therefor I have provided stops 22, which are preferably secured to the ends of the cushion and against which the carrying-levers rest in either one of the extreme positions. By this construction it will be seen that the levers pivoted in arcs of different-size circles the back is made to swing and rest in proper position, while the construction also allows of the levers being curved to conform to the seat.
Having described my invention, what I claim is- 1. A car-seat having a cushion and a support, a back for the seat, a positioning-lever pivoted to the upper part of the back and to a support below the said cushion, and a carrying-lever pivoted to the lower part of the back and on its opposite end to a suitable support and-provided with a stud which engages with the said positioningdever, said positioning-lever being adapted to have 1ongitu'dinal'movement on its lower pivot.
2. A car-seat having a cushion and a support, a back for the seat, a positioning-lever pivoted to the u per part of the back and to a support below t e said cushion, and a carrying leve'r pivoted to the lower part of the back and on its opposite end to a suitable support and provided with a stud which engages with the said positioning-lever said positioning-lever being adapted to have longitudinal movement on its lower pivot, and istops to limit the movement of said carryingever.
3. A car-seat having a cushion and a support, a back for the seat, a positioning-lever secured to the upper part of the back, a carrying-lever secured to the lower part of the back, said'levers being pivoted to supports at their other ends so as to move in different arcs, a stud on the carrying-lever engaging with the positioning-lever, the said positioning-lever being provided with elongated apertures whereby the said lever will have vertical movement on its lower pivot and on said carrying-lever stud.
