DE WITT O. SIVEY, OF GREEN FIELD, INDIANA, ASSIGN OR TO HIMSELF AND V HENRY SNOW, OF SAME PLACE.
RECLlNlNG-CHAIR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,557, dated December 5, 1882.- Application filed July 1,1882; (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DE Wrr'r O. SIVEY, of Greenfie1d,in the county of Hancock and State of Indiana, have invented a new and Improved Reclining-Chair, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a reclining-chair which shall be cheap, strong, durable, and easy to change to its various positions.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a perspective View of my new and improved reeliningchair as it appears when in its reclining position, parts being broken away to show the construction. Fig. 2 is a side elevation, partly in section, showing the chair in its upright position. vation of the bottom plate of one of the arms of the chair. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the bottom of said plate, and Fig. 5 is a plan view of a litter held in said bottom plate for raising the ratchet-bar for reclining the chair.
Arepresents the seat-frame of the chair, supported upon the legs 00, and B represents the back of the chair, the parallel bars ddof which are pivoted at their lower ends by means of the short rods or bolts e c to the side pieces of the seat-frame A, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
The arms 0 U of the chair are pivoted at their rear ends to the bars d d of the back B of the chair by the short rods or boltsff. and at their forward ends the arms are pivoted by means of the bolts i i to the levers K K, and in the upper ends of the short hollow posts or shells D D which inclose the levers. The levers and shells are pivoted by the bolts 99 to the seat-frame A of the chair, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The arms 0 O of the chair are composed of the upper channel-pieces, E E, and the bottom plates, F F, which are secured by means of screws, nails, or other similar means to the under side of the said channelpieces E E, thus making the arms hollow, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. slotted, as shown at h, and are formed with the perforated downwardly-projecting plates or ears j j, through which the bolts or pins 1' t Fig. 3 is a sectional ele- 4n, thus leaving the back The plates F F are.
pass for pivoting the arms to the levers K K and shells D D, and the plates are formed with the irregular opening 70, through which the projection e of the lifter G passes, and upon the inside with the upward projections or lips in m, with which the ratchet-bars H H engage for holding the back B in an upright position, or reclined in any desired degree. The ratchet bars H H move in the hollow arms 0 G, as shown, and are connected by the connectinglinks J J to the upper ends of the levers KK, as shown in Figs 1 and 2. These levers K K may be made short, extending only a little below the pivots g g,
once they are made of considerable length to extend near to the floor, and are provided at or near their lower ends with the foot-pieceL, which will be raised up automatically to the position shown in Fig. 1 when the back B is reclined and lowered to the position showniii Fig. 2 when the back is brought to an upright position.
The lifters G are provided with the curved plates 0, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5, and are held in the openings 7c in the plates F just in front of the projections m, so that by pressing upward upon the lifters the teeth of the ratchet-bars H will be lifted above the projections B free to be moved forward or backward upon its pivots, as desired.
In reclining the back of the chair it is only necessary to raise the lifters Gr, when the weight of the back will cause it to fall back ward as far as it will go or until the hands are removed from the lifters. Upon removing the hands from the lifters the rack-bars will drop immediately into engagement with the projections'm, and thus prevent the further backward movement of the back of the chair. It will be seen that the back may be held in an upright position, as shown in Fig. 2, and reclined at any desired angle.
To raise the back from a reclined to an upright position it is only necessary to raise or draw the back forward, as upon this forward movement the ratchet-bars will pass over the projections m without being raised by the lifters, as will be understood drawings, thus making the chair very easy to .change fromone position to another.
from Fig. 2 of the' if desired but by prefer- It will be seen that the chair is made very strong and durable, since all of the joints are.
plain pivot-joints and not liable to break or become detached, as hinges are, and there are no springs about the chair to break orget out of order, as in reclining-chairs of the ordinary construction. a
1 It will also be seen that the construction of the chair is such as to conceal or cover up all the machinery, leaving nothing to interfere with the clothes of the occupant, which in most reclining-chairs is very objectionable.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination, with a seat attached rigidly to its supporting-legs, a back pivoted to the sides of the seat-frame, and the hollow arms 0 O, pivoted to said back, and having teeth m,
of the levers K, pivoted at g, and having foot- 20 pieces L, the hollow posts D,inclosing the levers, and pivoted to seatfraine, the links J,
and the ratchet-bars H, as and for the purpose described.
