. Be' irknown that I, 'rHdMASF-- KELLY, a, i1-.if
@en of theUnited States, residing atQlinton, 1n the county of Clinton and State of Iowa,
have. inventednew and useful Improvements in Foot-Rests for Chairs', of which the following is a specification.
i Vof a slide.
This invention relates to foot rests for chairs; and the object of the invention is to provide a simple and' effective article of this character, so combined with the chair that when not in use it may be introduced within'the chair-frame-for example, at the seat portion thereof-through an opening in such frame, which opening, when the said foot-rest is in the frame, is covered by a flap or door in order to hide the vfoot-'rest and its carrier, which latter may be inexpensively made in the form When the slide with its foot-rest is 'introduced into the chair-frame and the door in questionis down, said frame will prel`'.sent the effect of a solidlstructure.
. the opening, presents at the front of the chair `-tracted position,
' user,
It has been proposed to slide a foot-rest carrier into and out of a seat-frame, thel foot-l rest, when the carrier therefor is in its reserving to cover the opening in the seat-frame through which said carrier moves. This construction, however, is objectionable, owing to the fact that as the footrest is subjected to wear, it, when covering a decidedly had appearance. I overcome this defect, as Ido not utilize rthe rest to cover the opening, but use a separate part, which part -does not come in contact with the feet of the so that no matter to what extent my foot-rest may be worn the wear will not show when 'the foot-rest is housed within the chairframe.
I have selected for illustrationin the accompanying drawings one convenient adaptation of the invention, which I will set forth `at length in the following description; but I do not, of course, limit myself to the exact showing thus made, for certain variations as to several points may be adopted within the scope of my claim.
" Referring vto the drawings, Figure 1 is -a perspective View of` a foot-rest including my invention, the footrest being shown in its advanced position. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation, the section being taken from the front to the rear of the chair and the foot-rest being shown ashoused1 4 an opening in the chair equipped with a ing adapted to occupy Fo'oT-REST.

"within the seat-frame, and 'thedoor or flap vfor the opening of said frame being closed vto hide. said frame. e
- Like character-s refer to like parts throughout the several figures of the drawings.- i
kMy invention may beincorporated in chairs of any kind', ain'd whileI Shall hereinafter describe the foot-.restand its carrier'as adapted to b e housed or inclosedbv the seatlfra'me this is not essentiahforfthev-V reason' that 4such parts may be inclosed when not in use by any other part of the chair-frame.
Referring now to the drawinfrsl have show n therein a chair of the so-called Morris type, and the same involvea in its make-up a seatframe, as 2, which may-.be of any desirable shape and covered or upholstered to suit individual tastes. The foot-rest is denoted by 3 and is located at the forward side of and joins the parallel sliding barsv4 inthe nature of a carrier for said foot-rest. The foot-rest itself may be of any desirablecoristruction and may be upholstered to har i iZe with the rest ofthe chair. The foot es with the parallel side bars 4, presents a s ru'cture tha is approximately of yoke form. l
stantially rectangular, and its yide bars are equipped with inwardly-extending ledges or ra-ils 5, upon which the parallel bars 4 are adapted to slide as the foot-rest 3 is moved toward its working position or pushed backward to be housed within the seat-frame. At the rear ends and upper sides of the parallel bars 4 I fasten'bloc ks, as 6, the tops of which as the bars are slid backward and forward are adapted to traverse ledges, as 7, extending horizontally along the top of the side bars of the seat-frame and in parallelism with the ledges 5. By this construction the foot-rest frame composed of the parallel bars 4 is properly guided into and out of the seat through forward' side of said seatframe.
rIhe opening in the forward side of the seatframe 2 is furnished with a door 8, hinged along its upper edge in some suitable manner to such seat-frame, the door when closed besubstantially a vertical position. To facilitate the removal of the foot-rest from within the seat-frame, such foot-rest is equipped with a pull-piece or loop, as 9.
-- Normally or when the foot-rest is not in 8o The seat-frame 2 is illustrated as being subuse said foot-rest, with its carrier,` is inclosed being closed, so that such seat-frame presents,.-
-necessary to use the foot-rest, the door 8`will by the seat-frame 2;'the door 8 at this time in'eilect, a solid structure. When it becomes be'opened to reach tlfe loop' or pull-piece 9, at which time the foot-rest can be drawn out of. the said seat-frame, the parallel bars 4' traveling along the ledges 5, while the upper sides of the blocks 6 traverse the corresponding ledges 7. 'Io-.introduce the foot-rest into the seat-frame, the reverse procedure will be adopted.
Having` thus described theinvention, what I claim is- Y. V
The combination of'a box-like chair-frame having an openingin its front, a Vslide 'sup. ported by the bottom of said frame and consisting of parallel si/dtefdbars, a foot-rest con- .Y nected said side bai-sixtV their forward ends 2 door hingedly carried by the front side vof saidy 25 frame above said bars and adapted vto'cl'ose said opening when the foot-rest andv bars are housed inthe frale andadapte'd tobe lupheld by the bars when the foot-rest-is'advancedf; to a pointinmnt oLthe'r-djQr'jr :A 3o Intest-imonyiyvhreoi' have hereunto set my handinpresence of two subscribing witnesses.
