A' IMPROVED WQOD SEAT FOR CHAIRS.
n sername referred to in um@ Letters' Patent end making pare-d uns um..
Toollwho'mtn'ur/.l/concern: v Be it vknown that I, GEORGE C. WnieHEsrnn, of Ashburnham, in the county of Worcester, and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Wooden Chair-Seats; andl do hereby declare that the following, taken in connection with the drawings which aocompanyand form part of this specification,
.is a description of my invention suIicient to enable those skilled in the art to practise it.
My invention relates to the construction of wooden chair-seats, with reference to provision for strengtheningthe same against liability to crack, and with reference to imparting a finished edge to the seat.
In the manufacture of wooden-seated chairs, it is quite common to apply strips beneath the seat, near the edge, such strip or strips running 4across and lengthwise of the grain. But, besides adding to the thickness of a' seat, such construction is objectionable, in that it leaves the end-grain of the seat-wood exposed at the-edge of the seat, such end-surfacesbeing hard to finish in uniformity with the edge-sinace of /the 'wood running lengthwise of the grain; and in this respect, wooden seats, each made entirely of a single piece of wood, are open to the same objection.
My invention consists in a wooden chair-seat, the perimeter of which is formed of a reinforcing-strip of wood, bent circumferentially around, and so as to enclose, like a band or hoop, the outer edge of the seatwood, the upper surface or portion of the seat-wood preferably lapping over the edge-strip, so as to present an unbroken or un'seamed top surface to the extreme edge.
The drawings represent a chair-seat embodying my improvement.
A shows Va bottom view of the seat.
B, a-cross-seeon'of the same.
a denotes the main seat-wood, preferably made in one piece, with the' grain running lengthwise of the chair, from front to rear. v
b, the reinforcing and edge-finishing strip.
This strip is made a little deeper than the thickness ofthe seat a, and, where projecting below the seat, it may have a shoulder or ilan'ge, e, upon which the wood a rests, as seen at B; and the top of the seat 'a has, at its edge, a thin projecting piece, d, which laps over and covers the top of the strip b, as also seen at B.
The strip b .is preferably a long piece, formed to havecross-sectionally the lange c, and of length suffieient to encompass the edge of seat a.
This strip being made flexible, and bent to proper form, its two ends are joined together, and it then constitutes a rim, to`receive and enclose the edge of seat a, which ispressed into the rim a'nd glued thereto.
It-will be seen that the strip adds nothing to the thickness of a chair-seat, as t-he piece a can be made of thinner stock than when its edge is left nnstrengthened, and that the edge of the seat presents a continnous uniform wooden-boundary, in which the libre of the wood runs lengthwise entirely around the edge,
while the upper surface is also unseamed, or is i'r'ee from any joint. l
Chair-seats thus made are very strong, durable, andl inexpensive, and are adapted to changes of climate as Awell as to rough usage.
I claim a wooden chair-seat, having an encompassing band or strip b, made in one piece, and running aroundthe seat-wood a, and forming the edge thereto, substantially as shown and described.
