7 Application filed August 2, 1926. Serial No. 126,649.

The above and other objects whichwill hereinafter appear, are attained by new and useful improvements as disclosed in this application. To enable others skilled in the art to fully understand the essential features of the improvements, drawings have been anneXed as a part of this disclosure.

Fig. 1 is a front perspective view of the improved bus seat.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal vertical. section through one of the legs.

Fig. Sis a rear perspective seat.

-Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the fibre covered wire.

view of the bus tion which is disclosed for illustrative-purposes, is as follows: 1 'A main frame 1. has secured on its under- "side; e. members 2.3 s'ecured to universal 5 by ins 4L Universal members 3' have enlarged. all shd'pedlower endsf5 resting on bumperplugs 6 which latter engage the.

upper ends of coil springs"? which fit lneatly within vertical tube 'members 8 screwed into baseflanges 9 adapted to be secured to the floor. In sockets 10 are secured rubber bumpers 11. Screwed on the upper ends of tubes 8 are cap members 12 having openings 13 of,

suitable size and shape to permit universal rocking of the members 3 while at the same time holding ball ends 5 in proper position within tubes 8. Rubber bumpers 11 act to.

soften the stop and noise in case of a severe shock.

In addition to providing spring legs as described, two superimposed groups of spring constructions are also provided. Within frame 1 is secured a group of springs 14 of any'suitable construction. Above this group are two cushions 15, 16, each having a group of springs 17 of any suitable construction. This triple spring construction provides very comfortable riding.

To provide aneat, wear resisting, strong back of reed like appearance, it is constructed of steel wires 18 covered with. twisted fibre, paper or the like 19.

It will be seen that the seat herein disclosed will provide forthe very comfortable riding for example of a twent. five pound child on one side and a two hun red pound person on the other side, without any danger of breaking the legs of the seat.'Also owing to suflicient room at 13, between the parts 3 and 12, there is no binding'of the leg members in action. Members 3 are of such size as to readily springs 7 are compressed in use.

All changes which properly come within thespirit and range of equivalency of the following claims. area-iintended to be embraced with-in th scope ofethe claims.
