Description
CHAIR Filed Dec. 16, 1935 Char/e5 f fi/esner imam Patented Oct. 19, 1937 UNITED STATES PATIENT OFFICE CHAIR Application December 16, 1935, Serial No. 54,656 1 Claim. (01; 155-117) This invention relates to articles of furniture, but particularly to a steamer chair, and an object 'is to produce a new and improved steamer chair having a seat and back member of flexible sheet 5 material in which the principal parts of the frame are of metal tubing.
Other objections and advantages will hereafter appear, and for purpose? f illustration, but notv of limitation, an embodliy ent of the in- 10 vention is shown on the accom anying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the chair in position of use; and
Figure 2 is a perspective view of a foot rest 15 showing a portion of the chair to which it is attached.
The illustrated embodiment of the invention comprises a chair consisting of frame members III and I I, the frame I being somewhat larger than the frame I I, but both frame parts being formed from a single length of metal tubing. The frames I 0 and II are similarly formed into a rectangular shape. Frame I I] consists of a horizontal floor engaging portion I2, from opposite ends of which extend upwardly side portions I3 from the upper ends of the side portions I3 and I4 are end parts I5 and I6 respectively, these parts being of, substantially the same length and in approximately abutting relation. Fixed inside the end part I5 is a stud I! which projects outwardly from the end of the end part I5 for detachable telescoping engagement with the end part I6. The projecting portion of the stud I'I fits snugly within the end part I6 with sufficient frictional contact to retain these parts in assembled relation. The frame II, except that it is somewhat smaller than the frame I0, is similar thereto and like reference numerals are used in connection therewith, but with the addition ,of the exponent a.
The frames I0 and II are pivotally connected by pins I8, which also support the forked lower ends of the brace members I9 on the upper ends 45 of which are mounted arm rests 20. The arm rests 20 are of channel form and are connected to the side portions I3 of the frame member IIl by pins 2I.
For holding the frame members in position of 50 use, a. U shaped brace 22 is pivoted on pins 23 connected to the side portions I3, and is adapted to engage selectively a pair of lugs 24 on the side portions I 311. The bail may engage one or another of the lugs 24, according to the desired ad- 55 justment.
The rear ends of the arm rests are disposed closely adjacent to the sides of the U-shaped brace 22, but are free of connection therewith, and
and I4. Integral with and extending inwardly form guides in folding and unfolding of the chair and also limit spreading of said sides.
Forming the seat and back for the chair is a strip 25, and opposite end portions of this strip are looped or folded back and stitched to provide pockets, 26, which receive the end parts I5 and I6 and I51: and Mia, respectively. An important feature of this invention resides in forming the frame parts, so that the pockets 26 may be slipped over one of the end parts, whereupon the two end parts are telescoped and the pockets drawn over the joints. It will be understood that this enables the pockets to be preformed and thereafter connected to the end frames, thereby obviating the necessity of sewing the canvas to the frame members, a troublesome and expensive process in the manufacture of a chair of this character. It is also apparent that the replacement of the back and seat member 25 can be readily effected without the use of tools.
A simple and eflicient foot rest is formed by a pair of bars 21, the front ends of which are bent downwardly to provide legs 28. The opposite ends of bars 21 are flattened and formed into hooks 29, which hook over the end parts of the frame member II. A strip of canvas 30 is disposed between the bars 21 and has its ends folded upon themselves and secured together to form pockets that receive cross-pieces 3|, which latter are secured by rivets 32 to the bars 21.
It is to be understood that changes in details of construction and choice of materials may be effected without departing from the spirit of the invention, especially as defined in the appended claim. I
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A chair comprising a seat frame and a back frame, each having a floor engaging portion and a pair of side portions extending upwardly from end parts of the floor engaging portion, arm rests connected intermediate. their ends to the side portions of the back frame, braces depending from the front end parts of the arm rests and having forked lower ends, pins extending through the sides of the forked ends and through theside portions of the seat and back frames to support the arm rests and to pivotally connect the seat and back frames, a substantially U-shaped brace for adjustably'supporting the back frame and having its legs pivoted to the side portions, of the back frame, and means on the seat frame to engage the bight of the U-shaped brace, the rear ends of the arm rests being disposed closely adjacent to the outer sides of the side portions of the U-shaped brace to form guides that are free of connection with said portions of the U-shaped brace.
