CHAIR Filed Sept. 1928 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 Patented May 27, 1930 UNITED STATES PATENT CHAIR Application led September 24, 1928. Serial No. 308,052.
My invention relates to improvements in chairs or the like and more particularly it relates to chairs having arms with a transverse member such as a tray extending between the arms.
An object of the invention is to provide durable means of simple construction for readily effecting connection and disconnection of the tray or other transverse member relative to the arms ot the chair.
Another obj ect is to provide a tray or transverse member with means for readily adjusting the tray to diderent positions along the arms.
Other objects will appear hereinafter.
The invention consists in the features, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and particularly pointed out in the claims.

is a longitudinal sectional view of Fig. 13 is a View of the channel bar which overlies the locking bar.
Fig. 132L is an end view of Fig. 13.
Fig. 14 is a plan view of the arm of the chair.
Referring to the drawings, tray which extends between and is adapted to be attached to the arms 3 of the chair. The tray is provided at 'each end with a depending pin or stud 2 having an enlarged head 2a at its lower end providing a shoulder 2h.
The arms 3 of the chair are each provided with a series of holes along their inner edges for selective reception of the studs 2 of the tray, whereby the tray is adjustable to diiierent distances from the back oi the chair.
In Figs. 1 to 10, the studs 2 are of sufficient length to extend through the arms 3 and through an apertured locking bar or alate 4 slidably secured to the under side o the arms 3 by screws 5. The bar 4 is provided with slots 5 to receive the screws 5 and permit sliding movement relative to the screws 5, the heads of the screws providing retaining` shoulders r"or the bar 4. Keyhole shaped holes 4a, corresponding with the holes in the arms, are provided in the har 4, the circular portion of which is adapted to permit passage of the head 2a of the pin 2 and the slot portion of which is adapted to engage the shoulder 2l to prevent withdrawal of the pin 2 when the slot is disposed over the shoulder by sliding the locking bar.
In operation, the pin 2 on the tray is dropped into and through the selected hole a in the arm 3 and the locking bar being adjusted (rearwardly in the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 10), to cause the circu- 1 represents the lar portions of the keyhole apertures 4a to register with the holes 3a in the arms, the pins 2 will drop therethrough and the tray is then seated on the arms. The locking bar is then adjusted (forwardly in Figs. 1 to 10) to cause the slot portion of the keyhole apertures 4n to engage the shoulders 2b of the pin 2, and the tray is then locked to the chair.
A preferred embodiment of my invention is shown in Figs. 11 to 14 in which the tray 1 is provided with relatively short studs or Yand with the pins pins 2 and in which the top surface of the arm 6 of the chair is cut away along its inner edge to receive a channel member 3 and is further cut away below the channel member to provide groove 7 and elongated hole 8 to receive the heads of the pins 2 and the handle 5', respectively.
In this embodiment of the invention, the locking bar 4 ovcrlies and bridges the openings 7 and 8 and is covered by the inverted channel 3.
The handle 5 is rigid or integral with the locking bar 4 and extends downwardly through the elongated hole 8 to provide an operating handle below the arm.
Screw holes 9 are provided in the channel 3 for receiving screws 5 to rigidly secure the channel to the arm and the screws pass through the slots 5 in the locking plate 4.
This embodiment of the invention has the advantage that nothing appears below the arms but the handles 5.
The operation is exactly the same as in the embodiment shown in Figs. 1 to 10 with the exception that the lookin bar is moved in the opposite direction forocking due to the ke hole apertures being inverted.
It will be understood that each arm of the chair and each end of the tra-y are similarly constructed.
I do not wish to limit my invention to the exact embodiments shown in the drawings as it willf be apparent that many modifications may be made without departing from `the spirit and scope thereof.
It will be understood that more than one n can be used on each side of the tray and at the locking bar can be made to operate either way, depending on the position of the slot, which may be placed on either side of th'e hole in locking bar.
As shown in Flgs. 1, 2, 2, 3, 4, and 11, the fray is of such dished shape that it will readil'y Seek its seat between the arms in applying it thereto. In applying the tray to the arms, the outer faces of the inclined sides of the tray will tend to guide the tray into seated position between the arms with the side flanges of the tray resting on the arms 2 inserted in the aper- The outer sides of the dished portion of the tray thus tends to guide the tray into proper position on the arms.
