Application filed January 13, 1909.
[0 cit whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Fnnmnnon XV. Boon, J12, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county of Guyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Seat-Gushions, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
This invention relates to seat cushions and more especially to detachable cushions which may be employed in baseball parks or other places of amusement and temporarily rented to the users. As is well known, the majority of seats in places of this kind are of the bleacher type, the seats being arranged in stair-like formation. In numerous parks or grounds, concessions are granted to persons who rent cushions to the patrons for a limited time. There is not only danger of losing these cushions by theft, but, in moments of exasperation patrons are apt to use the cushions as missiles for an offending player or umpire, also as a means of expressing unbounded enthusiasm.
It is the purpose of this invention to provide cushions of the type referred to which may be conveniently applied to the bleachers or other seats and which, when so applied, will be automatically locked in place and can be removed by the party owning the concession, to be rented afterward to the same or other patrons.
A further object of the invention is to provide a cushion which, while possessing the above advantages, shall be comfortable for the user.
Generally speaking, the invention may be defined as consisting of the combination of elements embodied in the claims hereto annexed and illustrated, in one exemplification, in the drawings forming a part hereof, wherein- Figure 1 represents a front elevation of a bleacher seat having my cushion applied thereto; Fig. 2 represents a transverse sectional view of such seat, the cushion socket being shown in socket; Figs. 3 and 4t represent perspective details of the locking stud and socket; and Fig. 5 represents a form of key by means of which the cushions may be unlocked.
Describing the parts by reference characters, 1 represents the riser and 2 the top Specification of Letters latent.

Serial No. 472,814.
or seat proper of a bleacher seat. At suitable intervals along said seat, holes are bored and recesses formed for the reception of sockets 3. These sockets are each pro vided with a plate 4 by means of which they may be secured in place in the corresponding recesses in the top of the seat and with a socket 5 which projects through the aperture in the top of the seat. This socket, as will appear more particularly by reference to Fig. l, is preferably of irregular polygonal section, having at least one of its faces of different width from the others, and is provided on such face with a pair of lugs 6 between which there is pivoted a locking pawl 7 In the drawing, the socket is shown as triangular in section. The socket is provided in the same face which carries the pawl with an aperture 8 through which the lower end of the pawl may project, said pawl being provided with a spring 9 tending to force the lower or free end of the same through such aperture. The pawl is also provided with a lug 10 having therein an aperture 11. The plate l is provided with a suitable number of apertures for the reception of screws or other fastening means.
The cushion comprises a pad 12 mounted on a base 13 to which is secured a stud. This stud comprises a plate l i having apertures by means of which it may be secured to the cushion base and a rod or projection 15 which is of a size and shape to fit within the socket 5. The rod 15 is shown as triangular in shape to conform to the interior of the socket and is provided in one face thereof with a notch 16 having an abrupt shoulder 17. The socket will be of such shape that the stud can be applied thereto only when the face of the stud having therein the notch 16 is adjacent to the face of the socket which has therein the aperture 8, and the notch is so located with reference to the lower end of the pawl 7 that, when the cushion stud is inserted in the socket and the plate 1d abuts against plate 4L, the lower end of the pawl will pass into the notch immediately above the shoulder 17 and will thus lock the cushion against withdrawal. The triangular socket and stud prevent the cushion from rotating and throwing persons who may happen to step on the cushion.
For the purpose of permitting the owner or his agent to remove the cushions, the riser 1 is provided with a suitable number of apertures 18 each located in front of a socket 3. By means of a rod or wire 19 having at the end a bent portion or hook 20, the cushion may be unlocked by inserting the hook 20 within the aperture 10 of the pawl and drawing the pawl outwardly against the action of its spring 9, whereupon the cushion may be lifted bodily from the seat. The lugs 6 will project toward the riser portion of the seat.
From the foregoing description it will be apparent that I have produced a seat cushion and a seat lock therefor which are extremely simple of construction and at the same time efficient in operation to retain the cushion in place but to permit of its convenient withdrawal and removal by the owner or other authorized persons. For compactness .of construction, the seat 2 may be recessed, as shown at 21, to facilitate the removal of the pawl from the notch 16 without unduly lengthening the socket 3 or the body 15 of the stud.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:
1. The combination, with a bleacher scat having a downwardly projecting socket carried by the top portion thereof, of a cushion having a stud adapted to fit said socket, said socket having an aperture and said stud having. a notch adapted to register with said aperture and having at its bottom an abrupt shoulder, and a pawl beneath the top of said seat and having a portion extending through said aperture and enga ing said shoulder to normally prevent the withdrawal of the stud from the socket, the riser portion of the seat being provided with an opening providing access to said pawl.
2. The combination, with a bleacher seat having its top portion provided with a clownwardly projecting socket polygonal in section and irregular in outline and having a face presented toward the riser portion of the seat and provided with an aperture and a supporting member, of a pawl pivoted to said member and having its free end normally projecting into said aperture, and a seat cushion having a downwardly projecting stud adapted to enter said socket and corresponding in outline to the outline of said socket, said stud having in the face thereof which corresponds to the pawl-provided face of the socket a recess or notch for the reception of the free end of the pawl, said pawl and recess being arranged to normally prevent the lifting of the stud from the socket and the riser portion of the seat having an aperture providing access to said pawl.
In testimony whereof, I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
