March 12, 1935. c, E. FRIESNER BACK CUSHION MOUNTING FOR GLIDERS Filed July 23, 1934 Swamp object is to provide means for supporting the Patented Mar. 12, 1935 PATENT OFFICE BACK CUSHION MOUNTING FOR GLIDERS Charles Edward Friesner, Toledo, Ohio, assignor to The Hettrick Manufacturing Company, Toledo, Ohio, a corporation. of Ohio Application July 23, 1934, Serial No. 736,451
1 Claim.
This invention relates to articles of furniture, but particularly to gliders of the usual construction having a seat frame and back frame and on which are placed removable cushions, and an away to show the back frame;
Figure 2 is a rear perspective view on an enlarged scale of one of the cushions showing the manner of attaching it to the back frame of the glider;
Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view'taken through the upper bar of the back frame show ing the cushion mounting; and
Figure 4 is a perspective view of one of the attaching hooks.
The illustrated embodiment of the invention comprises a glider of the usual character having upright end frames 10 from which the seat frame 11 is swingably supported by front and rear hanger bars 12 and on which are disposed removable stuffed seat cushions 13. Suitably connected to the rear end of the seat frame 11 is a back frame 14 preferably made of angle iron and having a horizontal top bar 15 of angle iron with the rearwardly extending flange 16. Resting against the back frame 14 are removable cushions 17, in this instance three cushions being shown.
Considerable difliculty has heretofore been encountered in mounting the separate back cushions on a glider in such manner that they at all times present an attractive and unrumpled condition. It is to be noted that the back cushions 17 extend a considerable distance above the horizontal bar 15 of the back frame, and persons sitting on the-glider almost invariably rumple the back cushions so that they present an unattractive appearance due to their rumpled or wrinkled condition. Not only is this objectionable in stores where gliders are on display, but also in the homes gliders of this type having two or more removable back cushions do'not usually present the neat and unwrinkled appearance that is desired.
' In'accordance with this invention, each of the back cushions has a folded strip 18 which is secured to the back of the respective cushion 17 5 by two rows of stitching 19 leaving the folded portion 20 free from the back of the cushion. The strip 18 is disposed considerably below the upper end of the back cushion so that the free folded portion 20 is disposed in the region of the 10 flange 16 of the horizontal bar 15. 'Disposed in the pocket formed by the folded free portion 20 is a stiffening bar or strip 21 which may be of metal; or other suitable material, and attached to the underside of the strip 20 is a hook 22 which is held-in place by a staple 23 which extends through the strip 20 and bar 21 and thence through an opening 24 in the hook 22.
The strip 20 and its hooks are so mounted that a slight tension is imposed on the back cush-. ion to hold it in its desired upright position, preventing wrinkling or rumpling of the cushion and holding it at all times in the desired position relative to the back frame 14. Obviously, the cushions can be readily and conveniently disengaged from the flange 16 by merely lifting each cushion and imparting a rearward movement to it so that the hooks clear the flange 16.
It will be obvious that in accordance with this invention the back cushions are at all times held in the desired position, presenting a neat appearance, and pressure on the top of the cushion, such as by a person resting an arm against the top portion, will not result in crumpling the cushions out of shape.
It is to be understood that changes in details of construction, arrangement and choice of materials may be effected without departing from the spirit of the invention, especially as defined in the appended claim.
What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:
A back cushion mounting device for gliders of the type having a back provided with an elongate rearwardly projecting horizontal bar at the upper edge of the back, and a cushion having its upper end extending a substantial distance above the bar; saidmounting device being composed of a strip of textile material for said cushion member independent of the latter folded upon itself to form a two-ply vertical part and a horizontal pocket, means to secure the free side edges of the vertical part of thestrip to the rear face of the cushion member at a distance below the top of the latter, so that said vertical part is interposed between the cushion member and the bar and engages against the latter, a stiffener strip in the pocket, and a series of clips secured to the stiffener strip and having inner ends which underlie the pocket and outer ends formed with hooks which engage over the outer side edges of the bar, the points of securement of the vertical part of the textile strip being Iocated beneath the top of the bar whereby upon raising of the cushion member and imparting rearward movement to the upper end of the cushion member the latter tilts about the bar as a fulcrum and the hooks are disengaged from the bar.
