SEAT.

Speccation of Letters Patent.

Patented July 16, 1907.

Application filed December 17, 1906. Serial No. 348,114.

To all whom it may concern.' l, j y

Be it known thatANDRUs B. MCLEAN, a citizen of lthe United States, residing at Mansiield, in the county oi Richland and State of Ohio, have invented certain` new and useful Improvements in Seats, of which the iollowing is a specification.

My invention relates to a seat that is especially adapted to be used in connection with agricultural implements or the like.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide a seat that can be elevated or lowered to different planes and adjustably retainedy at such a plane as will be found most convenient for the operator.

A further feature of my invention is the means employed to pivotally connect the bars comprising the frame oi the seat to the implement or machine to permit the seat to be folded upon the top so as to remove it out of the way and keep it from interfering with the operator wlien he prefers to walk and drive in close proximity thereto.

In the accompanyingT drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of my device showing it attached to an agricultural implement, ready for use. Fig. 2'is a perspective view showing the device detached from the implement and a broken section of a cross-brace oi the implement to which one end -of two supporting bars are attached. Fig. 3 is a side elevation in cross-section on the linea a of Fig. l of my device showing the position of the seat when folded in dotted lines and dotted lines showing the relative position of the seat and frame when adjusted to a lower plane. Figs. 4 and 5 are top and side views respectively of one of the bars' comprising the seat frame. Figs. 6 and 7 arev top and side views respectively of the double rack bars.

In the drawings, Fig. 1 represents a grain drill partly in section to wit; the wheels 1 and 2, axle 3, side pieces 4 and 5 of the frame work and a cross-brace 6, said brace 6 forming part of the frame-work of the drill to which my device isattached.

In the construction of my device I employ two angle bars 7 and L3 having one end of eachiiattened, spaced apart and rigidly secured to the cross piece 6 leaving the angular ends 9 and 10 resting on and supported by the axle 3. Adjacent to the ends of the bars 9 and 10 that form the angle or incline plane apertures are provided into which a bolt l1 is inserted to hold the bars 7 and 8 together and parallel with each other.

The supporting frame of the seat is made oi two. bars 12 and 13 which are spaced apart and connected together on one end by the bolts 14 and 15 with sleeves 16 and 17 interposed therebetween leaving an opening 18. The opposite end of the bars 12 and 13 at the points indicated by the numerals 19 and 2O and adja cent to the opening 18 are bent and diverge outwardly at an angle thence inwardly parallel with eachother to iit between the supporting bars 7 and 8; thence upwardly at an angle from the points indicated by the numerals 21 and 22 at such an angle as will correspond and coincide with the angular ends 9 and 10 of the bars 7 and 8.

Inthe upper extremities of the bars 12 and 13 slots 22*rL and 23 are provided through which the bolt 11 passes permitting the bars comprising the seat frame to be slidably adjusted to a lower or higher plane to accommodate the requirements of the driver or operator ofthe implement or machine.

ln order to adjustably support the bars 12 and 13 to which the seat v24 is attached, two bars 25 and 26 are provided and connected together by the bolt 27. The

bars 25 and 26 are pivotally attached to the angular ends 28 and 29 of the bars 12 and 13 by the pintles 30 and 3l. The bars 25 and 26 have diagonally arranged notches 32 near their upper ends and are adapted to engage with'the bolt 11 thereby supporting the seat and its frame at any point of its adjustment.

The arrangement of forming an incline plane through the medium of the downturned ends 9 and l0 of the supporting bars 7 and 8 in conjunction with the upturned ends 28 and 29 of the bars 12 and 13 affords facilities for elevating or lowering the seat 24 and at the same time maintaining the seat and frame at the same plane at any point of their adjustment no matter whether it is higher or lower with reference te the frame of the implement to which it is attached.

The seat and bars comprising the seat frame can be folded over upon the top of the machine or implement as shown in Fig. 3 to the position shown by the dotted lines 33. The bars pivot on the bolt ll. When it is desired to elevate or lower the seat to a different plane the bars are swung out of engagement with the bolt 1l and forced to engage with the notches 32 formed on the bars at a higher or lower point.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

l. In a seat, supporting bars spaced apart and attached to the frame of an implement, bars comprising a seat supporting frame adjustably secured to said supportingbars,

means to adjust said bars comprising the seat frame, notched bars pivotally connected to the seat frame, a bolt connecting the supportingbars: said bolt located in alinement with the notched bar whereby the notched bars can engage with said bolt for the purpose of adjustment.

2. In a seat, comprising two supporting bars with downturned angular ends, two bars with upturned angular ends spaced apart and fitted between the aforesaid bars providing a seat supporting frame, a bolt pivotally connecting the supporting bars and frame bars, notched bars pivotally secured and adapted to swing between the ends of the seat frame bars and engage with said bolt.

3. In a seat for agricultural implements or the like, two

supporting bars spaced apart having one end attached to said implement with the opposite ends downturned forming an angle and adapted to rest on the axle of the implement, a bolt connectingl said downturned ends, two bars spaced apart to slidably iit between said supporting bars -and connected together to provide a seat supporting frame, means to elevate or lower the bars comprising the seat frame and retain them at any point of adjustment* 4. In a seat for agricultural implements, two bars spaced apart with their ends secured to the frame and the opposite ends downturned at an angle and supported by the axle of the implement, two bars spaced apart and con nected together comprising a seat frame: said bars having their front ends upturned at an angle corresponding with the upturned ends of the supporting bars, means to slidably adjust said bars forming the seat frame to different planes without detaching or removing any part thereof.y

5. In a seat, two bars spaced apart and connected together forming a support, two bars provided with slotted angularV ends spaced apart and connected together forming a seat frame and adapted to slidably fit between said supporting bars, a bolt to engagewith said slots pivotally connect the bars comprising the seat frame to the supporting bars whereby the seat can be adjusted'and folded.

In testimony whereof I aix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
