CLAUDIIIS O. COLLIGNON AND NICHOLAS COLLIGNON, CF CLOSTLR, NEW` JERSEY.

Letters Patent 'No. 82,494, dated September 29, 1868.

IMPROVED FOLDING CHAIR.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that we, CLAUDIUs O. COLLIGNON and NICHOLAS GoLLIGNoN,of `C1oste1-, in the county of Bergen, and State of New Jersey, have invented a. new and useful Improvement in Folding Chairs; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

This invention relates to improvements in folding chairs, whereby they are made more durable and substantial than those heretofore known. I'

And the invention consists in the construction and arrangement of parts', as hereinafter described, but: more particular reference to the use of a brace, which is so arranged that, while it may act as a back leg to the chair, it is a supporter to the front part of the seat.

Figure l represents aside elevation, showing the construction of the chair.

Figure 2 is a front view. p v

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts. y

A represents the principal stands or supports ofthe chair. They forrnthe front legs and back, and are the principal supports of the seat.

B is the seat, which is attached to the stands A by pivots, as seen at a.

C represents the back legs. These legs are hinged to the stands A, as seen in the drawing, at d.

E represents braces, which are hinged to the front part of the seat, as seen at f, at one end, and jointed to the back leg by a pin at the other end, as seen at g. i

The braces have a slot, 7L, in their outsides, and the stand A is provided with pins, z', which work in the slots as the chair is folded. l l

With the parts thus arranged, it will be seen that by raising the seat, the chair will fold together so as to occupy a space but little larger than the stand A alone. The side-pins of the scat may extend back, so as to bear upon the cross-round J, and be supported thereby, if desired, but itis not deemed important.

Having thus described our invention, we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The combination and arrangement ofthe' stand A, scat B, back leg C, and brace E, constructed substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth;

The above-specificationof our invention signed by us, this 22d day of July, 1.868.

' CLAUDIUS O. COLLIGNON,

NICHOLAS COLLIGNON.
