MARIETTA STUDLEY, or. SOUTH YARMOUTH, MASSACHUSETTS. Leners Patent No. 87,378, @team/rch 2, 1869.
v nvrPRovnD CRADLEGHAIR To all persons to whom mese presents may vcome Be it known that I, MRIETTA STUDLEY, of South Yarmouth, of the county of Barnstable, of the State of Massachusetts, have invented a Cradle-Chair, or com'- binatiomwhich may be either converted-into a rocking- Vchair or a cradle; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specification, and represented in the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1 denotes a top view. Figure 2, a front elevation. Figures 3 and 4 are transverse, sections of it, as it appears when folded for use as a rocking-chair. Figure 5 is atop view,
Figure 6, 'a front elevation, and Figure 7, a .longitudinal section of it, as extended `-andiprepared for use as a cradle.
,'-In such drawings, A denotes the permanent seat of the chair, it being provided with a back, E, andan arm, C, projecting upward from it.
It also has two legs, D D, extending down from it.
The other two legs, F-F, extendfrom two slide-bars, b b, united by cross-pieces which project into' rebated guides y y, applied to thepermanent seat.
. A frame, or guard, G,\is hinged to the front edge of the permanent seat, so as to be capable of being turned up into a vertical position above the seat, or down below it.
A movable back-piece, H, is also applied to the top i of the back, B, the said back-piece being provided with tenons, to enter corresponding cavities made in the top of theback, B.
Besides all this, there is a false seat, I, which is prg; vided with two arms, K K', raised on its two opposite edges. l
The false or movable seat is placed on'the permanent seat, when the combination of parts is to be pre.- pared as a chair.
Each pair of legs has one of a pair of rockers, L L, fixed to it, the outside being arranged in manner as represented in vthe drawings. Y
Should i t be desirable to convert the chair in to a cradle, the false seat is iirst to be liftedo the permanent seat, after which act the movable arm K, with its q legs and rockers, should be drawn in a direction away from the stationary arm, or 'into the position relatively thereto,` as represented in figs. 5, 6, and 7.
-Next, the guard should be turned up and the false seat be placed on the slide-bars?) b, in such manner as to have one of its arms in range with the back, B, andthe other in range with the guard.
' The vp arts being securedin such positions, the cradle The back-piece may next be separated from the back, and applied to the outer end of the false seat, by intserting the tenons of the backframe into holes or cav ities madeiu the said seat.
The rockers may be dispensed-with, in which case the rest of the cradle-chair may be used either as a chair, or a bedstead, or crib.
I am aware of the' cradle-chair, shown in Letters Patent, No. 7,418, dated June 4, 1850, and granted to S. S. May, and, therefore, I make no claim to the movable back-piece H, uor to any other device,'part`, or combination of parts, contained in the chair described in such patent, for, in my chair, I have a means of making a level surface or bottom, with the parts A I, when the chair is arranged' as a crib or cradle; and, furthermore, I have the folding, or hinged guard G, and other means of forming a railing or guard entirely around the said bottom, when the parts are arranged as a crib or cradle# I I am also aware of the chair shown inthe-United States patent, No. 55,990, dated July 3, 1866, and granted to A. Berny, and make no claim thereto.
Such chair differs materiallyfrom mine, as the former has a supplementary seat hinged to the main seat, and besides, it has two supplementary arms hinged to the main arms, and the main seat is applied to the fpotframe, soas to Swivel therein; whereas, I have "the .auxiliary seat I, with its permanent arms', separate from the main seat A, its back and single arm; and I alsov have the vguard hinged to the main seat, and I have the extension parts b b, and the legs F F, most, if not all of which, are not found in Bernys chair.
My chair also,` differs from that of Ray 86 Shatter, as described in their patent, No. 27 ,069, dated February 7, 1860, `in which a4 false back and auxiliary arms are used, and with the main seat, and with an auxiliary seat, hinged to the main seat, applied to the footf frame, so as to swivel therein.
and feet, nor the guard hinged to the seat, as are found in my chair; and besides this, there are other important differences between the two chairs..
What, therefore, I claim as my invention, is The combination, as described, 'of the permanent seat A, its legs D, singlearm C, and back B, with theextension-slides b b, and legs F, and with the hinged guard G, and the separate seat I, and its two arms K K, the wholearranged and constructed substantially in manner and so as to operate together as explained.
Also, the ,combination of thel same and the auxiliary back H, the whole being as s et forth.Av I
