E is an adjustable seat or chair attached to a pivotied bracket F, the brackei
is attached preferably to the counter front G, by its pivots H and J, and hearings K

square on the pivot J, or in lieu of the pivot and hearing L, the pivot I may carry a
wheel or dise, having projections which fit into corresponding recesses in a bearing L'
see Figs. 9 and 10, so that when the seat or chair is required for use, it is raised
and drawn out on its pivotted bracket, and held in position by the square in the
bearing, and when not in use it is raised and pushed back, and held by the square in
the bearing, it lays in little room against the counter front or back and can be
advantageously used in shops both for customers and attendants on both sides of the

bracket F, by necks N. N. in which are square holes which fit on to the squares P, P.
on the pivotted bracket, the spring R keeping the seat on the squares in position; in
order to swivel the seat, it is pushed forwards on the pivotted bracket, until the
squares come on to the round paris S, S, when it is turned down, and the spring
again pushes it on to the squares P, P. The spring abuts against the pin V, and a
bush T fitting within the casing W, which is simply used for ornamentation and
to keep the spring out of sight.
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. The use and employment of a pivotted bracket and seat attached to a counter
or other fixture in the manner and for the purposes shewn and described:
2. The swivelling of the seat upon the pivotted bracket, in the manner and for the
purposes shewn and described.
3. The use and employment of the spring R whether encased or not, for keeping the
seat upon the squares P, as shewn and described.
