GARDEN OR SEA SIDE HEAD REST AND LOUNGE
Year: 1885

page_text: I SAMUEL ABRAHAM ROTHSCHILD, Agent, of 11 Silk Street, Milton Street in
the City of London do hereby declare the nature of my invention for GARDEN OR
SEA SIDE HEAD REST AND LOUNGE to be as follows:-
To carry out my invention I construct a trilateral frame of iron or wood being
open in front and cover it with canvas or any other suitable material.
The frame stands on three movable supports or legs with swivel joints made of
iron or wood and can be folded, but when the rest is in use they form an inverted
tripod.
The centre support is about 4 inches longer than the side ones for fixing it into
the ground and has about 4 inches from its lower end a plate with holes into which
the side supports are inserted. The plate also prevents the rest pressing too
deeply into the ground.
The centre support is either permanently fixed in the middle of the back part
of the frame, moving on a swivel or is temporarily held in the centre by a cramp,
clasp or other means and made to slide in a groove from the centre to one corner
of the frame, by which means the whole rest can be closed in a very small
compass.
On the top of the rest a coverlet is placed, padded or not padded according
to the material employed and spread on the ground in front of the rest, thus
protecting the person reposing thereon against the damp. The coverlet can be
attached to the rest by hooks or other means and be removed at pleasure..
When the rest is fixed into the ground, the top of it is an inclined plane and the
rest having no framework in front, the canvas is to a certain extend elastic
yielding to the impression of the head, thereby avoiding a strain on the neck.
A strap for carrying the rest is fixed to the back part of the frame, the handle
of which made of leather or steel-may hold an umbrella affording a protection
against the sun.

page_text: I SAMUEL ABRAHAM ROTHSCHILD Agent, of 11 Silk Street, Milton Street in
the City of London do hereby declare the nature of my invention for GARDEN OR
SEA SIDE HEAD REST & LOUNGE, and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
To carry out my invention I construct a trilateral frame A figure 1. of iron or
wood being open in front and cover it with canvas or any other suitable material.
The frame A stands on three movable supports or legs B & C & C with swivel
joints made of iron or wood and can be folded, but when the rest is in use they
form an inverted tripod.
The centre support B is about 4 inches longer than the side ones for fixing it
into the ground and has about 4 inches from its lower end a plate D with holes or
slots into which the side supports C & C are inserted. The plate also prevents the
rest pressing too deeply into the ground.
The centre support B is either permanently fixed in the middle of the backpart
of the frame A moving on a swivel or is temporarily held in the centre by a clamp,
clasp or other means and made to slide in a groove from the centre to one corner
of the frame. The centre support has also 2 joints E fig. 3 moving on pins over
which the collar F can be pushed to hinder them from bending. By these combined
means the whole rest can be closed in a very small compass see fig. 3.
On the top of the rest a coverlet G fig. 5 is placed, padded or not padded
according to the material employed and spread on the ground in front of the rest,
thus protecting the person reposing thereon against the damp. The coverlet can be
attached to the rest by hooks or other means and be removed at pleasure.
When the rest is fixed into the ground, the top of it is an.inclined plane and the
rest having no framework in front, the canvas is to a certain extend elastic
yielding to the impression of the head, thereby avoiding a strain on the neck.
A strap H fig. 4 for carrying the rest is fixed to the backpart of the frame, the
handle of which, may hold an umbrella affording a protection against the sun.
Fig. 1. shows the rest open.
