PORCH-SWING.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented July 4, 191 6.
Application filed July 24, 1915. Serial No. 41,662. Y
T (M whom it may concern Be it known that 1, Roy 0. CAsHNER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Kansas City, incthe county of Jackson and Stateof Missouri, have invented'certain new and useful Improvements in Porch- Swings; and I do-declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to, the accompanying drawings, and tothe letters and figures of reference markedthereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to porch swings, and has for its principal object to provide a structure of this character which is formed in separate pieces so that it may be packed or stored in small space, and which may be easily and quickly assembled to formthe swing or taken apart when removed from its hangings. In accomplishing this object I have provided improved details of structure, the preferred forms of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein Figure I is a perspective view of a porch swing containing my improvements. Fig. II is a sectional view on the line II-II, Fig. I. Fig. III is a transverse, vertical section on the line IIIIII, Fig. I. Fig. IV is a reduced detail perspective of one of the end members of the swing. Fig. V is an enlarged detail perspective of the socket member for connecting the back with the end posts.
Referring more in detail to the drawings:.1 designates the seat member, 2 the back, and 33 the ends or arm sections of,
my improved swing; the parts mentioned being separate from each other but adapted for assembly in locked relation to form a rigid and substantial chair or swing, and which may be supported from the end or arm sections by chains, or the like.
Each end or arm section comprises a back standard 4, a bottom rail 5, an arm 6, and a front connecting bar 7; the space between the standard and connecting bar being open to receive the end of the seat, and the upper end of the standard being tapered to carry a tapered clamp strap that is attached to the adjacent end of the back 2.
Each end section is also adapted for connection with a chain 8 through a hook 9 on the side of the standard 4 and a hook 1.0
that rises from the arm above the front con- 4 necting bar; the shank of the hook being extended through the arm 6 and secured to the connecting bar 7 by a bolt 13.
The seat 1 is preferably'formed of spaced 1 strips connected near their ends by an under strip 12; the front and back strips be- 1ng shorter than the intermediate ones so that the latter may project between the end ends ofthe front and back strips may. abut against said parts to fix the seat against longitudinal movement; the ends of the-intermediate strips being connected by a bar 14. The back strip of the seat is spaced from the adjacent strip sufiiciently to receive the lower projecting ends of the strips 17 of the back section 2 to key the back section to the seat.
The back section 2 preferably comprises in addition to the strips 17, an upper rail 18 and a lower rail 19 to which the strips 17 are rigidly secured; the length of the rails being such that the back will fit snugly between the end standards -4 to cooperate with the seat in spacing the end sections.
Attached to each of the top rails 18 is a clamp 21, preferably formed of sheet metal and tapered to fit over the tapered upper ends of the standards 4, so that when the back is moved into place the clamps will fit the end standards and hold the standards firmly to the back member. It is apparent that the clamps will hold the end sections at a point diagonal to the holding position of the end bars 14 at the lower front corners of the end sections and serve to form a rigid and secure connection between the separate members of the swing.
Assuming that the parts are constructed as described, the swing may be packed in'a small space and shipped or stored. When the swing is to be set up, the seat is tipped relative to the end sections so that the ends of the seat may be projected through the standards. 4 and connecting bars 7, while the to anchor the lower end of the back, and the clamps are lowered over the tapered ends of the standards. When the back is put down to fit the clamps snugly in place, the parts are locked firmly and securely to form a rigid swing structure. The swing may then be swung from the hooks in the ordinary manner.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new therein and desire to secure by Letters-Patent, is
l. A porch swing comprising separate end sections, seat and back members, the back member having tapered upper ends, and clamps on the back member shaped to receive the upper ends of the standards, substantially as set forth;
2. In a porch swing, end sections each comprising a back standard and a front bar, a supporting rail, and an arm member, a seat comprising transverse connecting bars and spaced strips; the intermediate strips being longer than the edge strips to project between the end standards and front bars, bars connecting the projecting ends of the seat strips and a back member in keyed relation to the seat and end section.
3. A porch swing comprising independent end and seat members, the ends having standards provided with tapered upper ends, a back in keyed relation to the seat, and straps on the back fitting over the tapered ends of the end sections, for the purpose set forth.
In testimony whereof I afliX my signature.
ROY C. CASHNER.
