GIOVANNI B. SICCARDI, OF WASHINGTON, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.
RECLINING-CHAIR.
SPECIFFICATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 688,443, dated December '10, 1901.
' Application filed May 24, 1901. semi No. 61.697. on model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, GIOVANNI B. 'SICOARDI, States, residing at Washington, Distriotof Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reclining-Chairs, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.
- The present invention relates to a new and useful improvement in chairs of that type usually designated as reclining-chairs.
The inventionwas primarily designed to provide a neat, inexpensive, and easily-operated reclining-chair to be used in connection with a washing device to form an improved shampooing apparatus, although, of course,
the improved chair is susceptible of divers uses entirely independent of the purpose for which it was primarily intended.
The invention therefore includes a chair having a tilting seat, a tilting back and footrest, tilting back-frame, and means operated thereby for raising the seat and leg-rest as the back-frame is lowered to bring the same in the same plane as said back.
The invention further includes the details of construction to be hereinafter described,
and particularly pointed out in the claims. The invention is illustrated in the accompanyiilg drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a side elevation of a chair in reclining or extended position in connection with a washing apparatus with which it may be used. Fig. 2 is a central vertical sectional view of the chair. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the same. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation, and Fig. 5 is a detail view of the means for raising the leg-rest.
For the purpose of showing one use of the chair I have illustrated the same in the accompanying drawings in connection with a head-washing device, the whole forming a complete shampooing apparatus.
The water-receptacle B comprises a Washing-bowl I), having a discharge-pipe b telescoping within the neck 0 of a tank I), de-
signed to receive used water discharged from the bowl I). The bowl is held in adjusted position by a binding-nut b and the flow of water from the bowl into the receptacle b is controlled by a suitable cock. It comprises a movable back, seat, and leg-rest and means the side bars 7*.
for controlling thepositions of the two latter parts through the manipulation of the former. The seat proper, 1, is hinged near its front edge to the front cross-bar of a rectangular frame 2, supported by the ordinary chair-legs 3, the rear free edge of the seat resting on the rear cross-bar of this frame 2. The legrest 5 is hinged to the frontedge of the seat 1.
To the rear bar or frame 2 a false back 6 is rigidly secured, to the rear face of which a back-frame 7 is hinged. This frame comprises an upper cross-bar? and side bars 7", having inwardly-curved extensions 7 below the hinge connection of said frame, which ooact with the seat 1 to lift the freeend of the lower portion of the back rests and turns upon the upper edge of the false back 6 and the free portion of the seat is moved upwardly to aline with the back through the extension 7.
When the frame 8 has been tilted into its ex- 7 tremerearward or lowered osition the arts of the chair occupy the relation to each other indicated by full lines, Fig. 1, and dotted lines, Fig. 2.
To retain the frame 8 in any of its adjusted positions and therethrough the parts controlled by said frame, a segmental plate 11, provided with retaining fingers or notches, is bolted to the rear face of the back 6 near each side edge thereof. A rod 10 is provided to engage with the fingers or notches. This rod extends across and to the rear of the side bars 7 and is connected at its opposite ends to sliding rods 12, guided in sleeves 13, secured to said bars 7 The rod 10 is normally held depressed and in engagement with plates 11 by means of springs 14:. The rods 12, referred to, are secured at their upper ends in a movable cross-bar 14, guided in ways ld in To assist the operator in raising bar 14 to disengage rod 10 from plates 11, a cross-bar 16 is provided, which extends between the bars 7 at the upper ends of ways 15.
To lift the rod 10, so that the back maybe adjusted, the operator grasps the bars 14 and 16, forcing the former againstthe latter, thereby lifting the bar 10 out of engagement with the plates 11.
It is of course desirable to raise and lower the legsupport 5 in unison with the seat, and to accomplish this purpose one or more pushers are employed, operated from the extensions 7, to engage the rest and force the same up as the seat is raised. The pushers illustrated herein comprise sliding tooth-racks 17, guided in ways 18, depending from the frame 2, said racks carrying a looped frame 20, having rollers 21 mounted thereon, which work in ways 22, carried by the rest 5. The ways are formed by inclined blocks 22 and coacting looped rods 23, secured in the rest, having their major portions arranged parallel with the inclined faces of said block. The racks are reciprocated by means of two segments 19, which mesh therewith, journaled on a rod 23, extending between the front legs of the chair. The segments are oscillated by pitmen 24, pivotally secured at their front ends to said segmenteccentrically of the latter and at their opposite ends to the extension 7.
The chair may be thrown into reclining position by simply disengaging the rod 10 from the plates 11 through the bars 14 16 and lowering the back-frame, and when the proper inclination is secured the bars 14 16 are freed and the rod 10 at once rengages said plates.
While only the bare frame of the chair is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it will be understood that the chair is designed to be upholstered in any suitable manner.
