FOOT-BEST FOB VEHICLES.

Application filed June 28, 1909. Serial "No. 504,894..
962,637. Specification of Letters Patent.
cross-section and consists of two parallel plates 5 spaced apart from each other and connected integrally together at their outer edges, the flange 4: above referred to being likewise integral with the plates. Thus it will be observed that each clip is composed of a single metal blank die-struck or otherwise machine-formed, for which reason it may be constructed at an extremely low cost, as will be apparen These clips are positioned in alinement with each other, and are spaced far enough apart to permit them to fit snugly over the ends of the dash-board 6 of the vehicle B, the resilience of the metal of which they are constructed enabling them to grip said ends sufliciently tightly to prevent any movement of the cushion, this efiect being furthered by the weight of the cushion itself. Owing to this construction, it will be obvious that the cushion may be readily attached to the dash-board of a Vehicle, and may with equal facility be removed therefrom when desired.
lVhen in place upon the dash-board, the cushion, by reason of its particular conformation, as above described, will serve to support the feet of the occupant or occupants of the front seat 7 of the vehicle, and will prevent them from slipping 0 its ends when the vehicle takes a sudden turn or is traveling over a rough road.
That is claimed is:
A footrest adapted for superposition upon a dashboard having attached to its bottom a pair of depending clips arranged to fit over the upper corners of the dashboard, each clip comprising a pair of spaced parallel members, the outer edges of which are integrally connected together, to hold the footrest against lateral and longitudinal movement.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribing witnesses.
HALLIE D. HANSFORD.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HALLIE D. HANsnoRD, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sylvester, in the county of North and State of Georgia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Foot-Rests for Vehicles, of
which the following is a specification.
The present invention is an improvement in footrests for vehicles, and its principal object, stated broadly, comprehends the production of an extremely simple and inexpensive device of the type specified, adapted for attachment to the dash-board of a vehicle and constructed in such a manner as to prevent the feet of the person or persons utilizing the support from slipping off the same when the vehicle takes a sudden turn.
To this end, the invention resides in the production of a cushioned footrest having abruptly built-up ends and a relatively straight central or body portion, as opposed to the ordinary type of cushion which has either a concave or a straight formation from end to end, as is well known.
The invention further resides in the particular form of clips employed for detachably connecting the footrest to the dashboard.
The preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved footrest, and Fig. 2 is a fragmental perspective view of a vehicle equipped with the footrest.
In said drawings,
the footrest, which is designated in a eneral manner by the reference character is shown as consisting of a cushion having a relatively straight central portion 1, and abruptly built-up ends 2, the cushion as a whole being constructed of any preferred material and being suitably upholstered. The bottom of the cushion has attached thereto a pair of depending metal clips 3, each formed at itsupper edge with a lateral flange &, to permit of its be- Witnesses: mg bolted or screwed to said bottom. The Josnrrr G. DU Pnnn, body portion of each clip is U-shaped in J. D. MARTIN.
