Description

W. L. BASS.
Car Seat and Couch.
Patented July 20, I852.
UNITED STATES PATENT QFFICE.
\VILLIAM L. BASS, OF CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS.
IMPROVEMENT IN CAR-SEATS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 9,128, dated July 20, 1852.
To all whom, it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM L. BAss, of Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Railroad- Oar Seats; and I do hereby declare that the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, hereinafter referred to, forms a full and exact specification of the same, wherein I have set forth the nature and principles of my said improvements, by which my invention may be distinguished from others of a similar class, togetherwith such parts as I claim and desire to have secured to me by Letters Patent.
The figures of the accompanying plate of drawings represent my improvements. Figure 1 is a plan or top View of my improved oar-seat. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, showing the chair as arranged for a day-seat. Fig. 3 is a central vertical section taken in the plane of the line A B, Fig. 1, showing the chair as arranged for reclining.
The object of my improvements is to secure an easy and comfortable car-seat so constructed as to admit of a persons reclining as far back as is desirable, while at the same time it will occupy no more room than those which have heretofore been in common use.
The construction of my improved car-seat effects these advantages, the back being so arranged as to be placed at any desired angle, while the legs are supported in the same manner by a rest, as will be hereinafter more fully explained.
a a a a in the drawings represent the bottom frame of the chair, which is supported by and turns on a center post I) b. A plate 0 c is fastened to the under side of the frame a a and has attached to the same a rod d, which fits into a socket in the post Z) l). The
Whole chair turns on this post, being first moved out from the side of the car, the plate a c sliding on the plate 6 and the rod d moving in the groove funtil the seat is moved out far enough from the side of the car, when it can be turned on the rod (1 as a center, the legs j j, &c., which help support the seat, turning on rollers which bear against the bottom of the car.
To the sides of the frame a a are hinged or jointed the back pieces 9 g and the leg-support h h. The back can be formed of two pieces hinged together, as shown in the drawings, or be made hollow with a head-rest to slide up and down in the same. The back g and leg-support h h are connected together and held by the arms t' t' 11, jointed near their centers to the frame-work a at. These arms are fastened together at their ends by the rods 7t 75, against which the back and leg-rest hear. The end arms i i are held in any position, and consequently the back and leg-rest placed at any desired angle by means of sliding catches Z l, which fit into grooves in the arcs or arms m m. These arcs are hinged to the frame a a, so that they can be lowered on the side when the catches it are moved up on the arms 1' i. The weight of the leg-support is so adjusted with regard to that of the back as to permit the occupant, after unfastening the catches Z Z, to recline, resume a sitting posture, or leave his seat without disturbing the position of those immediately before or behind him.
It will be seen that the seat, instead of being partly supported by the legs j j, &c., can bebsupported by braces running from the post Z) Having thus described my improvements, I shall state my claim as follows.
What I claim as my invention, and desire to have secured to me by Letters Patent, is A car-seat to the bottom of which are jointed a back and leg-support, the said back and legsupport being placed and held at any desired angle by arms 2' i, fastened to the side arms m m in any desirable way, as above set forth.
