CLAUGHTON (Claughton Bros.), Umbrella Manufacturers, 21, York Place, Leeds,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
To provide means whereby the shaving chair rack or head-rest used by barbers
and hairdressers may be raised or lowered efficiently without the aid of catches
or springs. Our invention consists of a rack or 'head rest, on the slide of which,
we have arranged a series of studs or projections. These studs or projections may
be either in the form of a casting or may be attached to a plate by any suitable
means, and may also be in the form of simple studs or pins, or revolving collars.
These studs, projections, or collars are engaged by a worm or scroll which is
cast upon, or attached in any suitable manner to the back of a disc. This disc
is so arranged as to turn on any suitable pivot, pin, or bearing, at right angles
to the abovementioned studs, and the worm or scroll is also so arranged as to
engage one of the aforesaid studs or projections, or collars, and by the act of
turning once round, to raise up the slide, or head-rest, so as to bring another
stud into position, which in its turn is engaged by the worm or scroll. The
accompanying drawings illustrate our idea.
Figs. 1 and 2 shew the plate and studs B with the disc A carrying the worm
or scroll, in position. Fig. 1 front elevation, Fig. 2 side elevation. Fig. 3 shews

page_text: declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be per-
formed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
-
The object of our invention is to enable barbers and hairdressers to raise or
lower the head-rest attachment used upon shaving or other chairs, and this,
without the aid of the catches and springs and levers hitherto used. For this
purpose, we have devised a metal plate, to which is attached a suitable number
of studs, projections, or revolving collars. These studs, projections, or revolving
collars may be cast, moulded on, or in any suitable manner attached to the
aforesaid plate. This plate is attached in any suitable manner to the slide of
the head-rest. This slide, with the aforesaid plate attached is then conducted
through a bracket which is constructed or cast in a suitable manner to receive
it. The front part of this bracket forms either a pivot, or a bush, or any suitable
device to provide a suitable centre upon which revolves a dise. This disc is
fixed at right angles to the aforesaid bracket, and is provided on the back thereof
with a scroll arrangement. This scroll arrangement is so arranged as to engage
the under side of one of the aforesaid studs, projections, or revolving collars,
and by the act of turning once round, to raise up the slide, so as to bring into
position the next stud, projection, or collar, which is then in its turn engaged
by the aforesaid 'scroll arrangement. By this means, a continuous motion up or
down is secured. The aforesaid scroll arrangement may be either cast upon or
in any suitable manner attached to the aforesaid disc. The whole may be made
in brass, iron, steel, or any suitable metal or material. The drawings filed with
our Provisional Specification illustrate our idea. Figs. 1 and 2 shew the plate
and studs B with the disc A carrying the scroll arrangement in position. Fig. 1
front elevation, Fig. 2, side elevation, Fig. 3 shews back and side elevation of
disc and scroll A.
"Back
is the part turned to the chair when in position.
Fig. 4 shews front and side elevation of bracket which carries the pivot or bush,
or other suitable centre for the disc and scroll arrangement A. Fig. 5 shews
the invention complete. E is a small bracket which forms a conducter for the
lower part of the slide and is not part of this invention.
"
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we claim is:-
A disc, carrying a scroll arrangement which by acting upon a series of studs,
projections, or revolving collars, in the manner we have described in the fore-
going specification, imparts a continuous up or down motion to the plate carrying
the aforesaid studs, projections or revolving collars. This said plate, being
attached to the shaving chair head-rest arrangement gives the said up or down
motion to the said head-rest arrangement.
