A New or Improved Revolving Chair for the use of Children.
I, AUGUST WEGENER, of Warburg, in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
According to my invention the children's chair is mounted with two axles,
one of which one is transverse and the other oblique to the sides of the chair whose
outer ends are provided each with a wheel which revolve upon the ground or
floor, while the two opposite ends of the said axles are united by means of a.
hub or nave which turns upon a pin or stud fitted to a fixed stock or trunk,
By virtue of the aforesaid arrangement the chair revolves round the middle
point of the aforesaid stock or trunk. The stock or trunk consists of a disc
which remains stationary with its under face resting upon the ground or floor.
To set the chair in motion a sprocket wheel is employed which is mounted
co-axially with the wheel of the front axle and is moved by means of chain
gearing by a hand wheel.
The same result is obtained by means of a ratchet wheel mounted co-axially
with the front wheel, in which a pawl, link, or catch works, which device is
set in motion by a lever.

A New or Improved Revolving Chair for the use of Children.
I, AUGUST WEGENER, of Warburg, in the Empire of Germany, Manufacturer,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
The invention has reference to a revolving chair for the use of children and
is provided with axles united radially at an axial point, so that the revolving
chair moves in a circle. The inner ends of the axles are fitted into a nave
or hub which revolves on a central pin fitted into a stationary disc which rests
upon the ground. The opposite ends of the axles are fitted to a chair of chariot
formation, and have mounted on their outer ends ground wheels or dises on
which the car moves in its central or orbital path as hereafter more fully
described with reference to the drawings of which,
Fig. 1 is an end elevation of a revolving chair embodying my invention.
Fig. 2 is a plan of the same.

page_text: Fig. 3 is a front elevation, partly in section, and
Fig. 4 is a similar view to Fig. 1 of the revolving chair illustrating a modified
form of actuating device.
According to my invention the children's chair a, is mounted with two
axles b, and c, of which one is transverse and the other oblique to the sides of
the said chair, said axles b, and c, are provided each with a wheel d, and e,
which revolve upon the ground or floor, while the two opposite ends of said
axles are united by means of a hub or nave f, which turns upon a central pin
or stud f¹, fitted to a fixed disc, stock or trunk f. By virtue of the aforesaid
arrangement the chair a, revolves round the middle point of the aforesaid disc,
stock or trunk f². The stock or trunk consists of a disc f, which remains
stationary with its underface resting upon the ground or floor. To set the
chair a, in motion a sprocket wheel g, is employed which is mounted co-axially
with the wheel d, of the front axle b, and is moved by means of chain gearing
by a hand wheel h. In Figure 4 the same result is obtained by means of a
rachet wheel m, mounted co-axially with the front wheel d, in which a pawl,
link or catch i, works which device is set in motion by a hand lever k.
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―
1. A revolving chair for the use of children provided with axles which sup-
port the weight of the chair, and are united radially at their ends at an axial
point, so that the revolving chair moves in a circle or orbital path, the outer
ends of said axles being mounted with ground wheels, sprocket and chain
wheel gearing operating substantially in the manner described and shown on
the accompanying drawings.
2. A revolving chair for the use of children of the type set forth in the pre-
ceding claim but actuated by a ratchet wheel pawl and lever arrangement sub-
stantially in the manner described and shown on the accompanying drawings.
Dated this 27th day of April 1900.
