IMPROVEMENT IN RECLINING-CHAIRS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 137,069, dated March 25, 1873,
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, GEORGE D. Goss, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and Stateof Massachusetts, have invented an Improvement in Reclining-Chairs, of which the followin g is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing making part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a reclining-chair constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a rear elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is avertical section through the chair, the back being thrown down into a horizontal position.
To simplify the construction, and thereby reduce the cost of manufacture of a recliningchair, is the object of my invention, which consists in a back pivoted to the seat or frame, and provided at each side with a rod, upon the outer end of which is a projection, which engages with a rack secured to the arm or rest of the chair. i
To enable others skilled in the art to understand and use my invention, I will proceed to describe the manner in which I have carried it out.
In the said drawing, A is the frame of the chair; and B the seat thereof. To the frame A is hinged at b b the back 0, to each side of which is pivoted one end of a rod, 0, the other end of which is enlarged and provided with a transverse pin, 65, the extremities of which fit into notches c in a double rack, D, of the frame shown, which is secured to the under side of the arm or rest E, the rod passing between the two parallel portions of the rack, and through a slot, f, in the upright portion of the rear of the ,frame, a notch, 5, being provided to receive the end of the rod where it is attached to the back, when the latter is in an upright position.
justed so as to drop into any of the required notches in the rack.
If it is desired to lower the back 0 it is simply necessary to press upward on the rods 0, so as to disengage their pins from the notches in which they are resting, to allow the back by its own weight to swing down on its hinges to the desired position, when, on removing the pressure from the rods, their pins d will engage with the next notches in the rear. In raising the back 0 no pressure on the rods 0 is required, the weight of the rods causing their pins 01 to drop into the successive notches in the racks.
To insure the pins cl being kept in place within their notches, weights 9 are attached to the rods 5 but these weights may be dispensed with, if desired.
A single rack may be employed instead of the double rack, above described, in which case the end of the rod 0 should be bifurcated and provided with a pin extending across the ends of the bifurcations so as to engage with the single rack.
I prefer to leave an open space under each arm, as the labor and expense of upholsterin g are thereby reduced; and my improved chair being of simple construction can be aflorded at so small a cost as to bring it within the reach of persons of moderate means.
Claim.
