No. 827,417. Y
States, residing'at Redlands,.in thecountyof San Bernardino. and State of California, have invented a new and useful Hammock-Chair, of which the following-is. a specification.
.2. This invention relates. toiswinging chairs or. hammock-chairs; and it hasfor' its object to'simplify and improve .the construction and operation of this class of devices. J
Withtheseandother ends in .view, which will readily appear as thenature of-the invention is better understood, the same consists in the improved construction and novel .ar-. rangement and combination of parts, which will be hereinafter fully. described, and par .ticularlypointedout in the claims.
In the drawings, Figure 1 isa side elevation showin the improved hammock-chair in position or operation. Fig.2 is a-perspective view of the same; .Fig. 3 is a perspective detail view shoiwing'one end. of the foot-rest andthe supporting means for the same. -Fig. 4 is a detailperspective view showingfonexof the ad'usting-links for the chair-frame and relate parts.v Fig. 5 is a detail perspective viewshowing a portion of one of the rocking links and means for connecting the same with one of the-supporting- --legs. Fi 6isa detail sectional view through one of t esupporting-legs. Fig. 7 is asec tional detail view taken through the cap of thesupporting-frame- Fig. 8 is'a perspec -tive view showing the chairand frame folded.
- Corresponding parts in the several figures are indicated throughout by similar characters-of-reference.
The supporting-fiame of the improved hammock-chair includes a ca .piece 1 and --two pairs of legs 2 2. Secure upon the under side of the caprpiece are'pairs of plates 3 '3, having downwardly-extending longitudi- *nally-disposed fiangesA 4, between which the pairs of legs are pivoted, respectively,in front and inrear of the cap-piece, so that whenthe lower ends of the legs are spread apart the upper -ends of said legs will abut I upon the frontand-rear sides of the cap-' piece. Thefront and rearlegs are connected with each other by means of foldable links or braces 5- Thechair-supporting links or hangers 6 areprovi-dedat their upper endswith hooks -7 having downturned points thatare adapt- Specification of Letters Patent.

the upper side-of the cap-piece, and to engage y metallic washersor-wear-plates 9, seatedin,
'saidsockets, the hooks 7 bein of such-" ie" mensions. that they will exten .aroundgthe 6o cap-piece and swing freely upon the latter.- In this manner thelinks will bevery securely supported, the hooks being ofsufiicient size," and strength to sustain any load that may be placed thereon and ithe;contaotointsrbeing formed by the extremities ofit e; poin-tsof the hooks only, so thatthelatter may rook; freely withoutfrictional contact with adj acent; arts and without the squeaky noise usual y accompanying suchcontact, whichis 7o I of ordinary construction. The lower ends of the supporting-links are pivotally connected, as by 'means'of pins. or
anobjectionable feature in hammock-chairs or buttons, so that it, may beadjusted at Y A various angles with relation to thesupportingelink with which it'is connected. 4
- The seat of. the chair isformedof .a strip 16 of canvas or other. suitable textile or nex ble material, one end of said strip being connected with the cross-brace 12and: the other end with a roller 17 ,fWlllGh i is. seated .in notches 18 at the upper. ends v of the seat: rails, said notches being providedzwith pins 19, extending through apertures 20 nearthe 5 ends of the roller. The .latterv may thus-be. conveniently detached and replaced, so asto admit of the winding thereon orunwinding therefrom of the flexiblestrip 16' for'the purpose. of regulating the extent to vwhichsaid 10o strip shall be permitted to sagsbetween the roller and the cross-brace 12 in accordance with the ressure and convenienceof the o0 cupanto the chair. 1 i i Pivoted upon-the outersides ofitheiseatrails l 1, near the lower and forward extremities of the latter, are bellscrank levers B, upon. the short forwardly-extending arms 21; of which are ivoted brackets 22., thatare. connected vwit heaoh other by cross-bars 23 ,,con-' 1 IO stitutingv a footre'st, wh1ch latter, as will be readily. seen, may be. folded the, direction olts 10, with'the side rails 11. of the chair-.- 75 i when the chair is extended in operative posiof the chair-frame when not in use, as will be seen in Fig. 8 and in dotted lines in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The brackets 23 are provided with laterally-extending lugs 24, engaging the under edges of the arms 21 of the bellcrank levers when the foot-rest is extended for use. The long arms 25 of the bell-crank levers are connected, by means of the rocking links 26, with the forward ends of short bracelinks 27., the rear ends of which are pivoted upon the rear legs of the supporting-frame Slidably fitted upon said rear legs are clamping-collars 28 ,which are connected, by means of braces 29, with the pins or pivotal members 30, connecting the rocking links 26 with the link braces 27.
It will be seen that under this construction tion and pressure is exerted upon the ootrest by the feet of the occupant the bell-crank levers B may be rocked upon their fulcrums, thus causing a swinging or rocking motion to be imparted to the chairbody, which is susended, by means of the links or hangers 6, from the cap-piece of the supporting-frame. By adjusting the sliding collars upon the rear legs the bell-crank levers may be tilted so as to adjust the foot-rest with relation to the feet of the occupant of theohair, so as to suit a person having long or short limbs. When the device is to be folded, the clamping-collars 28 are loosened, thus permitting them to slide freely upon the legs and permitting the links 27 and 26 and the braces 29to fold in small compass adjacent to the rear legs of the chair-frame. Similarly when the device is folded the legs 2 2 of the chair-frame fold together, and the long arms 25 of the bell-crank levers'will fold in the direction of the links 26, thus enabling the entire device to be folded in very small compass for convenience in storage or shipment, as will'be seen in Fig. 8 of the drawings.
Upon the chair-supporting links or hangers 6, near their upper ends, there is supported an ordinary spring shade-roller, as 31, having a shade 32, the free edge of which is connected with a yoke 33, formed of a light metallic rod or wire, and the ends of the arms of which are pivoted upon the links 6 a short distance above the chair-rails. The yoke 33 may be extended forwardly, as shown in Fig. 1, or rearwardly, as shown in Fig. 2, so as to shade the-occupant of the chair from the rays of the sun. This improved shade may be very readily adjusted to suit the occupant of the chair, and when the shade is not desired it may be wound upon the roller, so as to be out of the way.
From the foregoing description,taken in connection with the drawings hereto annexed, the operation and advantages of this invention wlll be readily understood. The improved hammock chair constructed as hereindescribed may be manufactured :at a
very moderate expense. It is light, comfortable, easily portable, and may when not in use be folded or stored in small space.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. In a hammock-chair, the combination with a suitable sup ortingframe, of supporting-links, a chairame including side rails pivoted at the lower ends of the supportinglinks and a cross-brace, braces pivoted upon the sup orting-links and connected adjustably with the side rails, a collar slidably mounted for vertical movement on the frame,
and a pivotal connection between the collar and one end of the chair.
