SWING. APPLICATION FILED JUNE 1, 1910.
Patented Feb. 14, 1911.
- Attorneys RUFUS H. KING, OF JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA.
SWING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Feb. 1d, 1911.
Application filed June 1, 1910. Serial No. 564,392.
T all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Burns H. KING, a citizen of the United States, residing at Jacksonville, in the county of Duval and State of Florida, have invented a new and useful Swing, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to swings and more particularly to chairs or settees adapted to be supported by chains or other flexible devices.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide a seat having a reversible back mounted in a new and novel manner and whereby the said back can be quickly shifted to either longitudinal edge of the seatand supported firmly in place.
Another object is to provide a device of this character which is cheap to manufacture and simple and durable inconstruction.
WVith these and other objects in view the invention consists in certain novel details of construction and combinations of parts hereinafter more fully described and pointed out in the claim.
In the accompanying drawings the preferred form of the invention has been shown.
In said drawings :-F igure 1 is a front elevation of the seat portion of a swing embodying the present improvements, the position of the back when horizontal, being indicated by full lines and, when set up, being indicated by dotted lines. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an enlarged section on line A-B Fig.2.
Referring to the figures by characters of reference, 1 designates the seat portion of the swing, the same having front and back bars 2, the projecting ends of which are engaged by stirrups 3 to which chains 4 are connected, these chains extending upwardly and engaging and supporting the slotted ends 5 of handles or arms 6.
Each of the arms 6 has a longitudinal flange 7 extending downwardly from the inner longitudinal edge thereof, this flange being provided, close to the arm 6, with a longitudinal slot 8 terminating close to the ends of the flange 7. A link 9 extends through the slot 8 and surrounds that portion of the flange between the slot and the lower edge thereof, there being a lug 10 extending inwardly from the lower end portion of the linkand the end of which is swiveled within a plate 11. This plate is secured to one side of the back 12 of the seat, the side bars 12 of this back being provided at one end with notches 13 adapted to engage either longitudinal edge portion of the seat 1.
As shown in Figs. 1 and 2 the back of the swing can be brought to a horizontal position by swinging it on the lugs 10 while the links 9 are suspended vertically from the slotted flanges 7. Should it be desired to set up the back at one longitudinal edge of the seat 1, each link 9 is slid longitudinally of the slot until it reaches one end thereof and is then swung upwardly across the end of the flange as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2 so as to enable the notched end of the side strip 12 to engage the seat. The back will thus be firmly supported for use. To set up the back along the opposite edge of the seat 1, it is merely necessary to disengage the back from the seat, swing the notched ends of the side strip 12 outwardly until the back assumes a horizontal position beneath the flanges 7, and then slide the links 9 within the slots 8 until they reach the opposite ends thereof whereupon they can be swung across the ends of the flanges and the back then set up with its notches 13 receiving the adjoining edge portion of the seat.
It will be seen that the flanges 7 are ar ranged between the planes occupied by the supporting chains 4 and that the links 9 are thus free to swing past the chains when they are brought to the ends of the slots 8, and as indicated by dotted lines in Fig. 2.
It will be seen that the structure described is very simple, and durable, can be readily manufactured and will not easily get out of order.
Various changes can of course be made in the construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention as defined in the appended claim.
What is claimed is A swing including a seat, flexible supporting elements connected to the corner portions of the seat, arms supported solely by said elements and attached at their ends thereto, aflange depending from each arm and having a longitudinally extending slot closed at its ends, said flanges being located between the planes occupied by the supporting elements, links loosely embracing those portions of the flanges located below or beyond the ends of the slots, each link being as my own, I have hereto aflixed my signaslidable in the slot and adapted to swing ture in the presence of two Witnesses.
past the adjacent supporting element and across the end of the flange, and a back RUFUS KING 5 mounted between and pivotally connected to v Witnesses:
the links. H. LINDSLEY,
In testimony that I claim the foregoing F. A. RENEKE.
