cnILn's SEAT.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it l'mown that I, ALLEN E. Sco'rr, citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of San Francisco, State of Cali-- fornia, have-invented certain new and useful Improvements in Childrens Seats, whereof produce a collapsible seat of the class described, likewise to produce one which shall be cheap to manufacture and simple to operate.

The invention comprises two side frames, each provided with a hook to hook over the back of an ordinary chair. Each of said frames is made of a single piece of wire and comprises a back portion, an arm portion and seat portion, an upright and a brace portion. These side frames are connected by two cross-bars adapted to hold them apart or permit them being folded together. The seat proper and the back are formed of fabric secured upon the proper portions of the frames. An adjustable tray is mounted upon forward extensions of the arm portions and secured thereto by thumb buttons.

In the accompanying one sheet of drawing I have illustrated my invention in what I consider its best form, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective elevation showing the device in position upon the back of a chair and ready for use. Fig. 2 is a perspective side elevation showing the device folded and the tray removed. Fig. 3 is a detail showing the fastening of the tray to a frame.

In these figures: 1 represents the back of an ordinary chair upon which the frames of the device are hung. Each frame is made of wire bent as follows: Beginning at one end 2 the wire is formed into an eye and then extends forward sufiiciently to accommodate the body of the child and the tray in front of him, thus forming the arm portion 3 and its continuation to the point 1. From the point 4 the wire doubled upon itself extends backward to the point 5 where it turns downward forming the front upright 6 at the lower end of which it is re curved in the loop 7 and extends back forming the seat portion 8 at the rear of which it is again recurved at the loop 9 and ex- Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filed October 6, 1913. Serial No. 793,634.

tends upward and is formed into a hook 10.

At the point of the hookthe wire is bent doubly and returns to the point 11 where it loops around the back upright and then extends obliquely in the brace 12 to the point 13 where it forms an eye about the front upright 6 where it terminates.

The initial eye 2 embraces the back upright and thus the whole frame forms a very stiff but easily made and substantial structure.

To each of the loops 9 there is pivoted by a wire eye 14 a bar 15. The two bars 15 are connected by pivot 16 and one of the bars may be provided with a'notch 17, and the other with a lug 18, which engage forminga rule joint or toggle.

A bar 19 is pivotally mounted upon one of the front uprights 6 and adapted to engage the upright of the opposite frame by' a notch 20 at its end, and rest upon the seat portion 8.

A seat 21 formed of fabric is secured to the seat portion 8 of the wire frames and is provided with a front flap 22 extending over the bar 19 and hanging down the front of it. Another piece of fabric 23 is secured to the back uprightsof the frames to form the back of the seat.

When it is desired to use the device the. two side frames are drawn apart until the toggle bars 15 are straightened and held by the rule joint between them. This stretches the seat 21 and the back 23. The front bar 19 is now sprung-into the position shown in Fig. 1, thus keeping the frame separated at the front. The front tray is then applied to the arms and the device is hung upon a chair ready for the child.

To stow the device away the tray is removed, the front bar 19 disengaged from the frame portion at its notched end swung around to the position shown in Fig. 2. The

improvements in the art to which it appertains, let it be understoodthat I do not wish to be limited to the exact construction and arrangement of the several parts composing the same, as many changes can be made without departing from the spirit thereof, but

and returned on itself and continued forward and downward and connected to the front standard thereby forming a brace.

2. In a seat frame for a childs seat formed'of a single piece of wire, an arm portion extending forward from the back to the front, there returned on itself to form a table supporting portion and turned down to form the front standard, thence back to magma form the seat rail, thence upward to form the back standard, bent into a hook at the upper end of said standard and returned down on itself and therefrom outwardly to engage the front standard.

3. In a seat frame for a childs seat formed of a single piece of wire, an arm portion attached to a back standard and extending forward therefrom to the front, there returned on itself to form a projecting double arm portion for supporting and holding a table, and turned down to form the front standard, thence looping back to form the seat rail and a support for a front holding bar,

thence looping upward to form the baok standard and a support for a back holding bar and bent into a hook at the upper end of said standard.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereto set my hand in the presence of 40 witnesses, this first day of October, 1913.
