PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
An Improvement in Adjustable Baby Chairs and other Rocking
Chairs.
I, JOHN POLLOCK MCPHUN, of Greenhead Sawmills, Mill Street, Bridgeton, in
the County of the City of Glasgow, North Britain, Timber Merchant, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
:
This invention relates to an improvement in adjustable baby chairs and other
rocking chairs and has for its object to construct these in such a manner as to give
a swinging motion to the seat.
In carrying out my invention, I fix on each side of the seat an additional gig,
which is connected to the ordinary gig by links, one end of each of which is
pivoted to the inside of the bottom end of the additional gig, while the other end
is pivoted to the outside of the ordinary gig, thereby enabling the seat to swing
backwards and forwards at will.
At back end of chair I provide a suitable catch so that the seat can be made
stationary when desired.
Of course it is to be understood that my improvements are applicable to all kinds
of adjustable baby chairs as well as rocking chairs.
Dated this 6th day of May 1897.

An Improvement in Adjustable Baby Chairs and other Rocking
Chairs.
I, JOHN POLLOCK McРHUN, of Greenhead Sawmills, Mill Street, Bridgeton, in
the County of the City of Glasgow, North Britain, Timber Merchant, 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:-
My invention relates to improvements in adjustable baby chairs and other rocking
chairs, and has for its object to construct these in such a manner as to give a
swinging motion to the seat.
In order that my invention may be properly understood and readily carried into
effect I have hereunto appended one sheet of drawings of which,

page_text: Figure 1 is an end view of an adjustable baby chair shewing my improvements.
Figure 2 is a front view.
Figures 3 and 4 are detached views shewing more clearly the locking arrangement
for making the seat stationary.
In carrying out my invention, I fix on each side of the seat A of the chair an
additional gig B, which is connected to the ordinary gig C by links D, one end d
of each of which is pivoted to the inside of the bottom end of the additional gig B,
while the other end d is pivoted to the outside of the ordinary gig C thereby
enabling the seat A to swing backwards and forwards at will as seen more
particularly in dotted lines Figure 1.
In order to make the seat A stationary when desired I make a slot E on one or
both of the back arms 131 of the additional gig B (one only being shewn on the
drawings) and on the back end of the ordinary gig C I provide a catch F which
slips into this slot E as shewn in Figure 4 and so locks the seat so that it will not
rock. Of course it is to be understood that other means of locking than that
described and shewn may be employed.
It is also to be understood that my improvements are applicable to all kinds of
adjustable baby chairs as well as rocking chairs.
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:-
In adjustable baby chairs and other rocking chairs, constructing these in such a
manner as to give a swinging motion to the seat at will, substantially as described
and illustrated in the accompanying sheet of drawings.
Dated this on day or January 1890.
