UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE SIDNEY BEL-CLIFFORD, OE WINNIPEG,
STRAP SUPPORT FOR CHAIR, DAVENPORT,
Application filed August 26, 1827, Serial The invention relates to improvements in strap supports for chair, da'venport and such like arms and an object of the invention is to provide a strap support which can be read ily thrown over the arm of a chair, davenport or such like and a holder carried by the strap which can be readily adjusted to the horizontal position to carry various articles depend ing on the design of the holder.
A further object is to construct the device in a simple, durable and inexpensive manner and so that there is no tendency of the same slipping from the arm and such that it can be readily folded when not in use.
With the above more important objects in view,-the invention consists essentially in the arrangement and construction of parts hereinafter more particularly described, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawing, 2 in which Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the device as it appears on the arm of a chair.
Fig. 2 is an enlarged detailed vertical cross sectional view at 22 Figure 1 and looking forwardly.
Fig. 3 is a vertical longitudinal sectional view at 33' Figure 2 and looking outwardly, the chair arm being removed.
Fig. 4 is a vertical sectional view similar to that shown in Figure 2 with the exception that a basket has been substituted for the tray therein shown.
In the drawing like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the several figures.
The present invention relates to a device which can be easily and quickly suspended from the arm of a chair, davenport or such like and will support desired objects within convenient range of the one sitting in the chair or davenport and will also relieve a person of having to hold such articles.
The device embodies a flexible fabric strip 1 such as of velvet which has a comparatively large co-eflicient of friction. This strip will be of predetermined length and breadth and will have one edge weighted, such being accomplished by providing a hem and inserting a metal strip 2 therein. The fabric strip is thrown over the arm of a chair or couch in the manner best shown in Figure 1 where it will be observed that the weighted edge of the strip lies on the inner side of the arm and the other edge thereofextends just nicely beyond the uppermost part of the arm.
To the latter edge of the strip I secure a MANITOBA, CANADA.

rigid plate 3 such as of metal, the plate having the upper edge thereof of the same length as the strip and havingthe ends thereof converging downwardly so that the lower edge is possibily an inch or less wide. Any sultable means can be used for attaching the plate to the fabric stri and I have herein shown the upper edge 0 the plate as-double folded, one of the folds receiving the edge of the strip and being firmly pressed to hold the same. The said folded edge of the plate can be indented if desired to produce a more effective fastening.
To the upper edge of the plate I hinge the inner edge of a substantiall rectangular tray or such like holder 4 which is herein shown as substantially square and having a length somewhat greater than the length of the velvet strip. To the lower end of the metal plate I hinge a brace bar 5 and to the under side of the tray I attach a bar which presents a plurality of ratchet like teeth 6,the teeth being designed to engage with the upper end of the brace bar. I
The arrangement of the parts issuch that when the velvet strip is thrown over the arm of the chair in the manner shown in Figure 1, the plate 3 will take an inclined position substantially at forty-five degrees to the horizontal, such being brought about by the upper part of the plate being positioned in contact with the outer face of the arm 7 of the chair 8. Having so placed the parts, one then lifts the tray and swings the brace bar under the same and into engagement with the teeth andat this time, care is taken to adjust the tray into a substantially horizontal position.
It will be found that a device of this kind is particularly convenient when one is having say afternoon tea, as the usual cup, saucer and plate can be placed on the tray within convenient reach of one sitting in the chair and the user is not inconvenienced by having to hold the cup, saucer and plate as usually occurs where no table or other support is provided. The tray will support a reasonable load as there is no possibility of the velvet strip slipping on the arm due to its high coefficient of friction and here it might be noted that the bar 2 and the weighted tray jointly act to hold the strip 1 tightly in'contact wit or wrapped on the face of the chair arm.
I have shown the strip 1 as fitted with a match holder indicated generally by the reference numeral 9.
room.
When the device is not in use, the brace bar can be swung upwardl and the fabric strip, plate and thetray al closed together in a folded position where they take but little In Figu substituted for the tray and obviously the basket can be adjusted into a horizontal posi-.
- I parent that if nothing were provided to swing the arm 5 inwardly, the tray would upset and spill the material thereon if one should accidently raise the outer edgeof the. tray as this would release the arm' 5 and permit it to fall down under its own weight. With a. spring or such like provided, the arm will be prevented from fallin should the edge of the tray be accidently li ted as will be readily understood. I I
