Description
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM S. LAIGHTON, OF NORWICH, CONNECTICUT.
PH OTOGRAPHIC HEAD-REST.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 237,392, dated February 8, 1881.
Application filed April 28, 1880.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM S. LAIGHTON, of the city of Norwich, county of New London, and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Photo graphic Head-Rests, which improvements are fully set forth and described in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawing.
My improvements are especially adapted to the use of photographers as a support for hearlrests in posing a subject to be photographed and to support a camera. It may also be used by surveyors as a support for a transit or level.
In the accompanying drawing, A represents a hollow center piece, constructed of any suitable metal, having at its upper end lugs or ears, (shown at a a a.) At its lower end, in line with a a a, are arms I) b b, constructed in the form of an arc and radiating from the center piece, A. These arms b b b are provided with length wise slots.
o o c are made of tubing, and are hinged to the ears a a to. These tubular pieces 0 c 0 form the legs to my tripod-stand. In the legs 0 c 0 are lengthening-bars B B B, which are secured in their places by thumb-screws cl d d. e is an eyebolt, which is slipped over the leg 0, and, with its screw end passed through the slot in the arm b, is secured by a thumb-screw, h. The leg 0 is, by the same movement, drawn against the arm b and held rigidly in position.
In photography it is often necessary to elevate and depress the head-rest as well as the (No model.)
camera. With my improved stand this is easily accomplished by drawing out or forcing in the lengthening-bars B.
In photographing a male subject or a child it is often impossible to hide the pedestal of a singlestand head-rest so that it will not show in the picture when finished. With my stand this annoying difliculty is overcome by hiding the legs of the head-rest behind those of the subject to be photographed.
It is frequently necessary, in surveying, to
place a transit or level close to a fence, house, or other fixed object. This is commonly done by blocking up under one of the legs of the tripod-stand.
By the proper adjustment of the legs 0 and the lengthening-bars B, an instrument supported by my tripod-stand may be placed as near a fence, house, or other object as maybe VILLIAM S. LAIGHTON-,
In presence of- H. Corr PARK, WEBSTER PARK.
