ODRZUMIGA
applicable as a Rocker.
I, JOHN POLLOCK MCPHUN, of Greenhead Saw Mills, Mill Street, Bridgeton,
Glasgow, in the County of Lanark, North Britain, Timber Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention and in what mauner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement :-
My invention relates to improvements in adjustable babies' chairs the same being
also applicable as a rocker.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I have hereunto appended an explanatory sheet of drawings which I will now
proceed to describe.
Figure 1 is a side elevation of the chair in its highest position.
Figure 2 is a section of the chair when it is lowered and to be used as a rocker
or carriage.
Figure 3 is a side elevation of a part of a chair lowered when not to be used as
a rocker.
The two legs A on each side of the chair are respectively pivoted to the bars B
and Cat and c c', and they are connected together at the top by means of the
metal bars D, having slots E for the purpose as hereinafter described. One end of
one of the bars D is connected to the corresponding end of the bar on the other
side by means of a handle F. When the chair is in its highest position, as will be
seen from Figure 1, the seat G rests on the top of the legs A, and to retain the
chair in this position the bars D are locked by means of the pins a, in the two hind
legs of the chair, fitting into slots e in the barz D. The spring J keeps the pins a
in the slots e. When it is desired to lower the chair I place one hand on a little
knob on the right hand back leg of the chair (not shown on the drawings) and with
the other hand I raise the handle F in order to unlock the bars D, thus allowing
the pins a to work freely in the slots E, whereby the lower parts of the legs of the
chair go further apart and the tops come closer together, as shown in Figures 2
and 3. In place of having the bars D as shown in Figures 1 and 2, I may have
them as shown in Figure 3 with a rack so as to allow of the chair being lowered
to any desired position and fixed there.
When the chair is to be used as a rocker I provide a spiral spring H on each
side of the chair. One end of each spring is respectively connected with the
bars B, and the other end to the curved rockers I, so that an easy rocking motion
is always had. When the chair is at the highest position the rocking is prevented
by the seat of the chair resting on the top of the legs as described.
I may also attach a cord or chain to the rocker with a foot-rest at end of it by
which the rocking motion could be effected.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed 1 declare that what I
claim is
1. Raising and lowering babies' chairs substantially in the manner and by the
means as described and shown on the accompanying sheet of drawings.
· The combination of au adiustable baby's chair and rocker onerating
