ADJUSTABLE WINDOW-CHAIR.
y scriptio'n. l
rl'his invention relates tofwindow-'chairs adapted to be secured to a Window-sill and upon which a person may sit when cleaning vwin the outside of a Window.
The object of the invention is to provide a much'simpler form of construction than any heretofore known and one which is adjustableand may bevfitted to windows of varying size and used in lconnection with walls of varying thickness.
By the use of my improvedl Window-chair all liability of accident from sitting or standing on the window-sill when cleaning the outside of the yWindow is entirely eliminated. The chair may be secured very quickly and requires no special skill to adjust it to iit the window. l
Reference 1s to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a j art of this sk. ec'ification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in both Y'the figures, inlwhich Figure 1 is a perspective view ofmy improved window-chair, showing it attached to a'window-sill and. Fig. 2 is a detail showing the method of securing the side braces to the bottom of the chair.'
'My improved Window-chair comprises a rectangular chair-bottom 1, ofthinwood, supported and secured to a metal strip 2, extending around the outer edge thereof and `on the lower side. The' chair-bottom may be provided with an upwardly-extending backand side walls 3, of wire-netting, sheet metal, or any other suitable-material and adapted to prevent materials employed by the Workman from accidentally falling off when placed on the chair-bottom. The bottom of the chair is provided with a downwardly-extending bracket at each side thereof, and
these brackets are preferably hinged to the chair-bottom, so that when not in use they may be folded under the bottom and the entire device thus occupy a minimum of sp ace.-
The brackets are preferably triangular in shape and comprise a vertical member 5,ex-

tendin substantiallyparallel to `the Wall of the bus ber 6, extendin `from the base of the vertical member 5 lto lt eouter corner of the chairbottom. Each of these membershas its upp er end extending between two downwardlyprojecting lugs 7, and through all four of the lugs on each side, as Well as through the ends of the j:rojectingmemb'ers,extends a rod 8, adaoted to enga e with the inner side of the' dow-sill and old the chair in the desired' position.` 'lhe inner end of the-rod 8 is prothe inner side of the window-sill, and at a' point beneath the bottom of the chair the rod 8 is provided with a screw-threaded portion, and a nut 10 on this threaded portion engages between two lugs 11, extending downward from the bottom of the chair. By turning the nut 10 the. rod may be adjusted longitudinally, so .that the\ chair-bottom is held at any desired distance from the inner walls of varying thickness.
rIhe lower end of-each of the vertical `members 5 of the brackets is provided with an inwardly-extending 'projection 12, adapted to engage with the wall of a building, and is of a length substantially equal Ato the depth of the outwardly-projectin portion of the windowsill, so that the mem ers 5 are kept in a substantially vertical position and parallel to the wall. The vertical members 5 are each also provided lwith a sill-rest, having a flange 13, ada; ted to engage with the upp er surface of the sill, and a vertical portion 14, adapted to .engage with the outer side` the sill. This sill-rest is adjustably secured to thel vertical members 5 of the brackets, so that it ably it is provided with collars through which the vertical members slide, and 'a suitable set-screw is provided for holding the sill-rest in the desired position upon the vertical members of thebrackets.
y When it is desired to place my improved window-chair on theoutside of a window, the entire device is projected out through the ner-surface of the sill. jthen allowed to drop to a horizontal position, rand the' brackets automatically'swing down from their folded position in the position f shown in the figure, and their lower ends rest Patented Feb. 1219071 l vided with a hook 9, adapted to engage with side of the window-'sill to zf-iccommodatey for Ss ding, .and a slanting or inclined mem-l may be raised and `lowered at will. Prefer- Ioo window, and the hooks Q'engage with the in- I The chair-bottom is IOS , 10 are then adjusted to bring to a horizontalposition, and thesill-restsare adjusted onthe vertical members5 .to the" proper'position. The deviceis thusready j for use, and there is no danger ofthe'uchair "giving Way from the Weight f. fierson; las.
the weight is evenly distributed at a plurality the outer side and top edge of the sill,I and a point on the wall below the window. The strain being thus .evenly distributed, the chair is firm and steady. i
dinary building, it will be found' thatitis very seldom necessary to adjust either the" 'sill-rests or the length of the rods'8, as thel wall of the building will be found to be of substantially the same 'thickness throughout and the sills are normally all similar.
yTo, prevent any liability of thebrackets v'swinging o'ut beyond a vertical plane as theyv drop down from the chair-bottom, I preferees ably provide-the upper'endof eachof 4the members-5 and G With'a corner-.or'projectionr ,'15, adapted to engage with lthe pivotalmounting and prevent the brackets from (moving outward beyond a vertical plane,
