IMPROVEMENTS IN MUSIC STOOLS AND OTHER SEATS
Year: 1884

page_text: 1 EDWARD SAMSON of 95 Sclater Street, Bethnal Green, London, E. in the
County of Middle-ex, Cabinet Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN MUSIC STOOLS AND OTHER SEATS to be as follows:-
t
In the improved combined music stool column and screw according to my
Invention the features of novelty are as follow that is to say: the tube or column
which contains the female screw or nut in connection with the elevating and
lowering contrivance, forms the sole support in itself of the male screw which
carries the seat on top thereof. This I accomplish as follows. In the two opposite
sides of the metal enclosing tube or column I form two slots or mortices into which.
the said female screw or nut is effectually secured so as to render it a matter of
impossibility for the said female screw or nut to be drawn up or forced down
respectively (and as frequently happens in the ordinary arrangement of music stool
columns and screws) as the alots or mortices form a flat, square shoulder for the
said nut or female screw at the top and bottom of the same. The lower part of the
enclosing tube or column is inserted in the wood or other boss or block to which
the feet or claws of the music stool are attached. The said tube or column where
it is fixed in the boss or block at the top thereof is formed with a shoulder or
flange truly fitted and resting on the top of the said boss or block, and is formed
underneath with two or more tenon pieces, projections or lugs which take into
corresponding recesses formed in the surrounding boss or block so as to prevent the
enclosing tube or column turning round or shifting its position. The extreme and
inferior or lower end of the said metal column has adapted to it a screwed bolt
projecting through the bottom or underside of the said boss or block and against
which it is secured through the interposition of a screwed nut and washer or
screwed nuts and washers.
The metal tube or column before referred to, is fitted at the top with a screwed
cap which serves to keep in position the usual surrounding ornamental wood column
or pillar.
I wish it to be understood that although I have described my said Invention' as
applicable specially to music stools, it will be self-evident that the same may be.
applied to other descriptions of seats for the purpose of raising and lowering
the same.

page_text: I, EDWARD SAMSON, of 95 Sclater Street, Bethnal Green, London, E. in the
County of Middlesex, Cabinet Maker, do hereby declare the nature of my Invention
for IMPROVEMENTS IN MUSIC STOOLS AND OTHER SEATS, and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement :-
In the improved combined music stool column and screw according to my
Invention the features of novelty are as follow that is to say-the tube or column
which contains the female screw or nut in connection with the elevating and
lowering contrivance, forms the sole support in itself of the male screw which
carries the seat on top thereof. This I accomplish as follows. In the two opposite
sides of the metal enclosing tube or column I form two slots or mortices into which
the said female screw or nut is effectually secured so as to render it a matter of
impossibility for the said female screw or nut to be drawn up or forced down
respectively (and as frequently happens in the ordinary arrangement of music stool
columns and screws) as the slots or mortices form a flat, square shoulder for the
said nut or female screw at the top and bottom of the same. The lower part of the
enclosing tube or column is inserted in the wood or other boss or block to which
the feet or claws of the music stool are attached. The said tube or column where
it is fixed in the boss, or block at the top thereof is formed with a shoulder or
flange truly fitted and resting on the top of the said boss or block; and, is formed
underneath with two or more tenon pieces, projections or lugs which take into
corresponding recesses formed in the surrounding boss or block so as to prevent
the enclosing tube or column turning round or shifting its position. The extreme
and inferior or lower end of the said metal column has adapted to it a screwed bolt
projecting through the bottom or under side of the said boss or block and against
which it is secured through the interposition of a screwed nut and washer or screwed
nuts and washers.
The metal tube or column before referred to, is fitted at the top with a screwed
cap which serves to keep in position the usual surrounding ornamental wood column
or pillar.
I wish it to be understood that although I have described my said Invention
as applicable specially to music stools, it will be self-evident that the same may
be applied to other descriptions of seats for the purpose of raising and lowering
the same.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
Invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:
A
The improvements in music stools and other seats as hereinbefore described and
set forth.
