Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 30, 1911.

Application filed February 28, 1910, Serial No. 546,409. Renewed February 18, 1911. Serial No. 609,339.

To all whom itmay concern;

Be it known that I, JAMES T. OCoxxon, a citizen of the United States, residing-at Chicago, county of Cook, and State of 1111- nois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Advertising-Chairs, of

p which the following is ,a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in advertising chairs and has for its object the production of a chair of this nature which shall be of simple construction and efficient in its operation. The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be more readily understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, and in which,

Figure 1- is a perspective view of a chair embodyingmy invention, Fig. 2 is a partial side elevation of a chair with portions broken away, Fig. 3 is a section on line m-m of Fig. 2, Fig. 4 is a partial top plan view of an arm of the chair'with portions broken away, and Fig. -5 is a perspective view of the upper end of the operating bar of the device illustrating the cooperatlon with a ratchet wheel for operating the ad.- vertising sheets.

The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawings comprises a rocking chair 1 which may be of any usual or desired construction, provided with front and rear posts 2and 3. :One of'the rear posts '3. is provided with a vertically, disposed passage or channel at closed on the rear side by means of a cover plate 4- In passage 4 i is mounted a vertically reciprocatory operating bar 5 having an enlarged lowerand upper end 6 and 7 The lower enlarged end 6 projects from the passage 4 through the bottom of the rocker of the chair to contact with the floor or other supporting surface upon which the chair rests. A pin" 8, is; passed through passage 4 in position to conn tact with the lower edge of the upper ens largement 7 to limit the downward move ments of bar 5. The upper enlargement 7 carries a gravity operated pawl 9 adapted to cooperate with a ratchet wheel 10 secured to a shaft 11 traversing the-back of the chair.

- with a longitudinally extending channel 13] Each of the arms 12 of the chair is provided communicating at the rear with Qthejcorresponding passage 4.. Rollers 14Iare cured at either end of shaft 11 and registering with the rear ends of channels 13. Idler rollers 15 are mounted in the forward ends of channels 13 and an advertising sheet is passed over rollers 1-1 and 15 as.

shown. Channels 13 are closed on their upand pawl 9 will operate to cause intermittent rotation of shaft 11 and rollers 15. This causes intermittent feed of advertising sheet 16 so that the advertisements thereon will be constantly changed as the chair is rocked by an occupant. It will be observed that the operating mechanism is very simple and inexpensive of construction and operates without the aid of a spring so that itwill be exceedingly durable and. reliable.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of varia the spirit of my invention. I therefore do tion or modification without departing from not wish to be limited to. the exact details of construction set forth. but desire to avail myself of such variations and modificationsas come within the spirit and scope of the'ap- Having described my inventionwhat and. desire to secure by Lettersf';

pended claims.
