REVERSIBLE CAR-SEAT'.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters P I l i Application ledMarch 23, 1903- Beit known that I, PAUL G. VLnrs'rnnn, a

Charles, St. Charles county, State vof Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Reversible Car- Seats, of which the following is a specification containing a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.v

My invention relates to improvements in reversible car-seats, and has for its object to provide a car-seat in which the back portion may be reversed and when reversed alters the angle of the seat-section and places in position a foot-restf'to be usedbythe occupants In the drawings which form a part of the specification, Figure 1 is an end view of a seat embodying my invention. Fig. l2 is a top view of the same, with the'seat-back removed, the side supporting-rails of the back member being shown in section. Fig. 3 is avertical sectional view taken along the line 3 3 of Fig. 2. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of one of the supports for the seat-section. sectional Aview of portions of a seat embodying my invention, taken along the line 5 5 of Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a vertical section of the locking device embodied in my invention, taken on the line 6 6 of Fig. 5. Fig. 7 is a perspective view of the base of the support for the back-section of my car-seat.

I have provided tubular standards 1 and l, cast integral, at the outer sides of their tops withthe curved guide members 2,'which guide members are adapted to receive and hold the the back-section 4.` The upper portions of the Shanks 3 iit into the channelled members section 4, the Shanks 3 being held in place thereinby means of straps-6, so that the backsection 4 is made thereby vertically adjustable. The back-section 'may thus be swung the length of the curved guide member 2, the base of the shank 3 being provided with roll- Fig. 5 is a vertical atent No. 751,312, dated February 2, 1904.

with the arms-8, which are screwed tothe side castings which contain. the curved guide members 2. The portions ofthe castings toV which the arms are thus attached are indi- "cated by the numeral 9 at the central portion of theside castings, and between the sections 9 I have provided a slot 10, which is adapted to receive the vplate 11. The transverse bar. 12'is pivotally mounted at each end in the plates 11. 1 Within the plates 11 the collars 13 are mounted upon the bar 12 and held thereon by means of pins 14. At their outer sides the collars 13 terminate in the slotted arms 15. The members 3 are provided with pins 16, whereby the members 3 and arms 15 are slidably connected. At their inner ends the collars 13 are provided with depending arms 17,

` which terminate at their lower extremities in lugs 18.

The seat-section 19 rests upon the supports 20, provided with horizontal slots 21 and vertical slots 22, as shown in Fig. 4. The bar 12 passes through the slots 21 and the lugs 18 project inwardly through the slots 22. The standards 1 and 1 are provided on the inner sides of their upper extremities with brackets y through the slots of both of the members 26.

By the meansthus describcd the foot-rests 25 are connected to the back-section 4, sothat the foot-restibeneath the side of the seat at which the back-section is placed in position'is' itself in position for use, so that it may be used by the occupants of the adjoining seat, while the opposing foot-rest 25 is thrown upward toward the seat-section 19, leaving the space beneath the seat at its front available for theV storage of baggage and the like.

the collars 13, Iwhich is at the outer side of the seat, with a depending lug 27, and have provided the tubular support 1 with the footlever 28, connected by the pivot 29 to the lug 30 and provided with the vertical locking-bar 31, which is normally held upward and in en- -gagement with the lug 27 by means of the spring 3Q, the locking-bar 31 and foot-lever 28 being connected by a pivot 33. The top of the locking-bar 31 projects vertically through the opening 34 in the bracket 35, which is cast integral with the top of the support 1. Thus theback-section 4 and its connections are securely locked when in position and released l by the shanks are secured within the channeled to bevshifted to the opposing position by depressing the foot-lever 28.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to have secured to me by the grant of Letters Patent, is-

1. In a reversible car-seat, standards provided with curved guide members, a verticallyadjustable back-section provided at its sides with channeled members, shanks adapted to fit within the channeled members, straps whereby the shanks are secured within the channeled members, two pairs of rollers mounted upon the bases of the shanks and adapted to fit within the guide members, and arms pivotally mounted within the standards in a plane without the plane of the guide members and provided at their upper ends with slots to en gage with pins on the outer faces of the Shanks, substantially as described.

2. In a reversible car-seat, standards provided with curved guide members, a verticallyadjustable back-section provided at its sides with channeled members, Shanks adapted to iit Within the channeled members, straps wheremembers, two pairs of rollers mounted upon the bases of the shanks and adapted to it withvided with curved guide members, a verticallyadjustable back-section provided at its sides with channeled members, shanks adapted to it within the channeled members, straps whereby the Shanks are secured within the channeled members, two pairs of rollers mounted upon the bases of the shanks and adapted to fit within the guide members, arms pivotally mounted within the standards in a plane without the plane of the guide members and provided at their upper ends with slots to engage with pins on the outer faces of the Shanks, footrests connected to the back-section, a lockingbar mounted in one of the standards and a footlever whereby the locking-bar is actuated; the back-section, seat-section and foot-rests being connected to move simultaneously, and ad aptcd to be locked in position by means or' the locking-bar and foot-lever, substantially as described.

4. In a car-seat, astandard whereon the seat is supported, curved guide members mounted upon the standard, a seat-section, tilting supports whereby the seat-section is carried, parallel foot-rests, slotted arms whereby the footrests are slidably connected to each other and pivotally connected to the seat-supports, a vertically-adjustable back-section, shanks whereby the back-section is supported, rollers mounted upon the lower extremity of the shanks and extending into the curved guide members, and connecting-arms whereby the back-section, seatsection and foot-rests are engaged together to operate simultaneously, substantially as described.

5. In a reversible car-seat, connecting means between the back-section and the standards comprising curved guide members 2 mounted on the standards, collars 13 pivotally mounted in the standards, slotted arms extending upward from the outer ends or' the collars 13,

6. A reversible car-seat, comprising two standards, a transverse bar pivotally mounted 'between the tops of the standards, curved each of the shanks, the rollers fitting within n the curved guide members and engaging with the inner sides of the tops and bottoms thereof, the slotted arms being disposed upon the outer sides of the curved guide members; 'brackets mounted at the tops and on-the inner sides of the standards, parallel transverse rods connecting the brackets, foot-rests, slotted arms 26 carrying the foot-rests, the slotted arms v26 being pivotally mounted upon the parallel arms, supports carrying the seat-sectionand' slotted horizontally to admit the transverse bar and vertically to admit the lugs von the depending arms, Shanks carrying the backsection and provided with pins to engage with the slots in the slotted arms, two pairs of rollers mounted upon the bases of' each of the shanks, the rollers itting within the curved guide members and engaging with the inner sides of the tops and bottoms thereof, the slotted arms being disposed upon the outer sides of the curved guide members; brackets mounted at the tops and on the inner sides of the standards, paralleltransverse rods connecting the brackets, foot-rests, slottedarms 26 carrying the foot-rests, the slotted arms 26 being pivotally mounted upon lthe parallel transverse rods, their slots overlapping, and being penetrated by lugs upon the depending arms; a locking-bar mounted in one ofthe standards and a foot-lever whereby the locking-bar is actuated to lock the back-section and seat-section and foot-rests in position, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name PAUL Gr LEISTNER.
