COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or connected with Arm Rests, and in Supports
for the same.
I, CHARLES LARUE, Senior, of 108 Boulevard du Nord, Brussels, in the
Kingdom of Belgium, Merchant, do horeby declare the nature of this invention,
and in what mannor the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and
ascertained in and by the following statement :-
The object of the invention is an apparatus of small dimensions readily capable
of being adapted to the backs of arm-chairs, to the supports for tents or canopies,
to the backs of seats in railway carriages or in cabins of boate, and to other places,
and has for its object to provide these arm-ohairs, tents, seats, &c., with means to
enable persons using them to rest comfortably without inconveniencing their
neighbours.
The invention consists also in completing this apparatus by means of a mechanism
which only allows it to be used after two pieces of money have been previously
slidden into slots, the first remaining for the proprietor of the apparatus and tho
second being returned automatically to the user after he has replaced the apparatus
in its original state ready to be used by a second client.
Finally I have invented, and will hereinafter describe, supports for tents or
iny improved
canopies of special form designed to bo employed in combination with
arın rest.
In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters and numerals refer to
like parts, the figures on Sheet I show the interior mechanism of my apparatus;
the figures of Sheet II show a modification of this apparatus and cortain
accessories which can be used in combination with it; the figures of Shoet III
show different kinds of supports for teuts and canopies or shelters, and the figures
of Sheet IV show medifications and additions to the apparatus so as to permit it
only to be used after payment.
To Figs. 1, 3 and 4 of Sheet II show the elements of mechanism enclosed
respectively in each of the compartments A, B, C, of the apparatus, which are
shown in longitudinal section at Fig. 2 of the same sheet. Figs. 5 and 6 of this
sbect show methods of attaching the apparatus, and Fig. 7, a key employed for
fastening the rest as hereinafter explained; in other words Fig. 1 is a section on
the line YY of Fig. 2, Fig. 3, a section on the line X X of Fig. 2, Fig. 4, a
section on the line Z Z of Fig. 2.
1 is an axis, upon which is rolled an arm rest 2 in the compartment B, and upon
which is mounted a toothed wheel 7 in the compartment A, and a spiral spring 16
in the compartment C. This axis is cylindrical and hollow, and is provided with
two grooves 3 and 4 in a straight line or in different lines, the first corresponding
to the compartment B, the second, to the compartment C. A rod 5, forming a
fixing key for the toothed wheel for the arm rest and for the spiral spring, is passed
into the interior of the axis 1 after one end of the arin rest has been introduced
into it through the groove 3, as is seen in Fig. 3, and the free end of the spiral
spring previously bent back bas been introduced through the groove 4, ns is seen
at Fig. 4, the other extremity of the same spring being fixed to a fixed point of
the compartment C; finally, the rod 5 being in place, a key 6 is placed in
corresponding grooves existing diametrically across the ends of the rod 5, of the
axis 2 and of the toothed wheel 7, with a view to render these elements fixed in
relation to each other.

page_text: It will be remarked that the combination of the hollow axis 2 and of the rod 5
with its key 6, constitutes a simple, practical and expedient means for fixing the
band, the spiral spring and the toothed wheel, and dispenses with the employment
of nails or screws. I consider these elements as forming in their combination an
essential feature of my invention.
Finally the pawl 8, against which presses a flat spring 9, prevents, when it is
engaged with the toothed wheel 7, the axis turuing under the action of the spiral
spring. A cord fixed to the pawl 8 permits this toothed wheel to be liberated.
This cord 10, as also the arm rest 2, pass to the exterior of the apparatus through
openings formed in the lower part of the box 11, which encloses this mechanism.
A hook 12, cast with the box 11, may serve as a hat peg or coat hook or for
supporting the net in the compartments of railway carriages.
The apparatus may be fixed in any convenient manner to the back of the seat
or other apparatus to which it is to be applied. Fig. 5 shows a socket or strap 13
and Fig. 6a hook 14, by the aid of which the apparatus may be suspended from
a beam 15, upon which it may slide or be fixed.
The apparatus works in the following manner: When it is desired to use the arm
rest 2, which, when not in use, is almost entirely wound upon the axis 1, the arm
rest and the cord 10 are pulled at the same time; the pull upon the said cord
liberates the toothed wheel and the axis which is fixed to it, as it disengages the
pawl from the wheel; the arm rest may then be withdrawn from the apparatus
to the desired extent. In acting upon the arm rest, the axis 1 is caused to revolve
and the spiral spring is wound up. The arm rest being withdrawn to the required
extent, the cord 10 is roleased and the toothed wheel 7 is consequently locked,
which maintains the entire apparatus at rest. To cause the arm rest to re-enter
the apparatus, it is necessary to again pull the curd 10 and to release at the samo
time the arm rest, which is rolled up on the axis 1, which is caused to turu by the
spiral spring unwinding itself. Two small pieces of leather, fixed one on each side
of the arm rest at a suitable place, by coming into contact with the side of the
box 11, prevent the arm rest disappearing entirely into the box 11, from which it
would be difficult to withdraw it; any other convenient arrangement of stop may
be employed for this purpose.
As is seen, the arm rest being folded back upon itself, forms an elbow rest for
one arm but it may be also used to rest both arms by opening out the two parts
sufficiently of the said rest.
In Sheet 11, at Figa. 1 and 2, I have shown how it is possible, by the same
principle, to give to the two parts of the rest the desired distance apart, without
the parts having a tendency to close up, as is the case in the arrangement herein-
before described.
11 is a bent sheet of iron forming a frame upon which is mounted the mechanism
which is placed in the middle of the box 17; at each end, likewise upon a bent
sheet of iron, is mounted a carrier roller 18, the axis of which turns with it, or the
roller is mounted loosely on the axis as may be desired. The rest, before leaving
the box, passes over these two carrier rollers 18, which has the effect of holding
the two sides of the rest apart.
Upon the axis 1 in the central compartment, upon which the rest is wound, I can
arrauge a bobbin 19, which is a hollow cylinder, generally of wood, having a groove
or cut along one side so as to permit this bobbin to be placed upon the axis 1
and the rest to be passed therethrough and retained on the rod in the manuer above
explained. This bobbin euables a more convenient winding of the rest than that
which takes place upon an axis as small as is the axis 1.
In order to permit of an easy resting, there may be suspended in the band 2
small boards of various forms and which are shown at Figs. 3 to 6 of Sheet II.
These boards are of one piece or of several pieces folding upon themselves
longitudinally and even laterally, as shown at Fig. 6. In this latter case tho
board, when unfolded, is sufficiently wide to support a book, which is also retained

page_text: by an edge 21 fixed to the board in the manner of ledges attached to the tops of
desks.
The small board or support may be permanently attached to the rest and may
rise with it and come against the lower side of the box 17, Figs. 1 and 2, Sheet II;
when it is thus arranged the board is provided on its lower face with a handle 20,
which enables it to be drawn down, drawing with it the band 2.
Holes 19' made in the lower part of the board, Fig. 6 Sheet II, enable the upper
board to be raised by passing therethrough the end of the finger and thus unfolded
without difficulty.
Instead of a board to maintain the distance apart of the two sides of the band
or rest, the same effect may be obtained by sewing between two thicknesses a plate
of thin sheet iron of the same length as the distanco which normally separates the
two sides of this rest.
In Fig. 7, Sheet II, I show a pneumatic cushion made of indiarubber; a valve 22
which is seen at the lower part, enables it to be inflated with air. This cushion
is intended to serve as an arm rest in the same way as the little boards herein before
described.
In Sheet IV I show how the apparatus may be completed so as to permit of its
use only after payment. The three compartments A, B, C, already described, and
which have represented at Figs, 4, 5 and 6 of Sheet IV, remain the same as they
were except for small modifications hereinafter referred to. To these compartments
I add the compartments shown at Figs. 1, 2 and 3 of Sheet IV, and which are seen
without the internal mechanism at D, E and F of Fig. 7, Sheet IV.
Fig. 8 of the same sheet is an exterior view of the apparatus, Fig. 9 is a side
view of this apparatus, and Figs. 10, 11 and 12 are detail views.
The problem to be solved is as follows:-
1. By placing a coin in each of the compartments D and E, to free the mechanism
so that the rest 2 may be withdrawn.
2. After using the rest, to be obliged to wind it up in the apparatus in order to
recover one of the coins, viz.: that which had been placed in the compartment E.
This precaution is in order to prevent a person who has used the rest leaving
it withdrawn from the apparatus so that another person may use it without
paying.
In the end compartment F (Fig. 1 Sheet IV) is shown mounted on an axis, n
toothed segment 23 provided with a rod 24; the play of this seginent is limited by
the two stops which are shown in the drawing, and against which it is held normally
In the same
by the spring 24'. This segment geare with a toothed pinion 25.
compartiment there is a tumbler 26 held in its raised position by a spring 27. This
tumber has one end bevelled and the other eud formed with a fork; between the
two prongs of the fork moves a button 28, which passes into the first compartment
through an opening formed in the division between the first and second
compartments (Fig. 2 Sheet 1V). This button is part of the piece 29, which is
in the second compartment. The tumbler 26, which has a notch 30, turns on an
axis 30'.
In the second compartment E (Fig. 2, Sheet IV) there is n pendulum 32 hung
at 33 and having at its lower end a swivelling piece 34, which is itself hung freely
as a pendulum at the lower end of the pendulum 32. The rod of the pendulum 32
is provided with a notch 35. Finally the pendulum has an arm 36. There is in
the same compartment, a piece 29 which is movable around the axis 31, the fixed
guide 37 and the double drum 38 shown at Fig. 12, Sheet IV; this double drum is
mounted on the axis of the pinion 25 (Fig. 1 Sheet IV).
In the third compartment D (Fig. 3) there are a peudulum 32 and a guide 37
identical with those in the second compartment, as also the second chamber 39 of
the double drum shown at Fig. 12, Sheet IV.
In the fourth compartment A (Fig. 4) there is situated the ratchet mechanism
of the rest already described with reference to Sheet I, but the pawl 8 is in this

page_text: case provided with a little locking bar 40 and with a projection 41, both of which
are shown in Fig. 7, Sheet IV.
In Fig. 5 is drawn the fifth compartment B, which encloses the rest and which
does not differ from that already described with reference to Sheet I.
The sixth compartment C (fig. 6 Sheet IV) contains the spiral spring already
described, against which rests a curved arm 42 provided at its lower part with a
projection 43. This curved arm is pressed forward by a sheet metal spring 44.
Finally, through the different compartments passes a bolt 45, Fig. 10 Sheet IV,
possessing a hook 46, n projection 47 bevelled on its underside from front to back,
threo notches 48, 49, 50, a stop 51 to limit the play of the bolt and to prevent it
coming out of the apparatus, and also a socket 52."
The apparatus is opened by lowering the front face, which turns upon a hinge
shown at Fig. 5 Sheet IV; it is closed by any kind of look at its upper part.
The following is a description of the working of the apparatus. In order to
withdraw the rest two coins are used, one being placed in each opening
communicating with each of the chambers 38 and 39 of the double drum; then the
haudlo 53 (Fig. 9 Sheet IV), placed on the exterior of the apparatus and mounted
on the same axis as the segment 23 is turned in order to rotate this latter. By this
rotation the rod 24 cooks the tumbler 26 by engaging, by its bevelled end, in the
notch 30. The tumbler, in rising at the back around its axis of rotation, nets, by
its fork, upon the button 28 of the piece 29 (Fig. 2 Sheet IV) and causes this
piece to move from left to right around its point of suspension 31. As long as the
Lumbler 26 is cocked, the piece 29 retains its new position. The rotation of the
segment 23 causes the pinion 25, which gears with it, to turn and consequently
the double hollow chamber (Fig. 12 Sheet IV) mounted on the same axis as the
pinion. The opening of each of these chambers 38, 39 of this double drum is in
consequence turned downwards when the coins which they contain fall out; the
first, that in the chamber 38, rests suspended between the piece 29 and the guide 37,
the second, that in the chamber 39 of the drum, falls into the reservoir of the
apparatus and becomes the property of the proprietor of the apparatus. At the
same time the coins act, by their weights, respectively upon the arms 36 and 36" of
the pendulums 32 and 32 (Figs. 2 and 3 Sheet IV), moving these latter ont of
their vertical position and causing the swivelling pieces 34 and 34 to be moved
against the back of the full parts of the bolt. 45, which separate respectively the
projection 47 from the notch 48 and this latter from the notch 49. The pendulums
are then stopped behind the bolt 45 and retain their inclined position. At the
same time as these pendulums are inclined, they have disengaged the bar 40 from
the notches 35 and 35, in which the bar is ongaged in a state of rest. As may be
seen the disengagement of this bur 40, liberates the pawl 8 to which it is fixed
(Fig. 4 Sheet IV) and permits tho toothed wheel to be disengaged in its turn, and
the rest to be withdrawn from the apparatus. The projection 41 of the pawl 8
enters the notch 50 of the bolt 45. In pulling the rest, the spiral spring 16 is
wound up, its diameter diminishes, and then the curved arm 42, which this spring
keeps back when it is unwound, moves forward under the pressure of the spring 44,
and the projection 43 engages in the corresponding hole 52 of the bolt 45 (Figs. 6
and 10 Sheet IV). The bolt is then locked. When a persou has finished using the
rest and wishes to withdraw the coin from the compartment shown at Fig. 2
Sheet IV, he acts as follows. The cord 10 of the pawl 8 is pulled to liberate the
toothed wheel 7, the rest 2 is wound up automatically on its axis 1 under the action
of the spiral spring 16, which unwinds and pushes back the curved arm 42 and, in
consequence, disengages the projection 43 from the bolt 45. It will be understood
that it was not possible to move the bolt so long as the person who was using the
rest had not caused the same to enter into the apparatus, without at least
abandoning the second coin. The curved portion 46 of the bolt is then pulled, the
bevelled portion of the claw or hook 47 engages with the end of the tumbler 26,
which is also bevelled but in the contrary direction, causes this tumbler to descend

page_text: more and thus frees the rod 24 from the notch 30 of the said tumbler. Under
the action of the spring 24¹ the segment returns quickly to its original position.
The swivelling pieces 34, 34, of the pendulums 32 and 32, in consequence of the
movement of the bolt, are placed in front of the notches 48 and 49 of this bolt, pass
by these notches, and permit the pendulums to reassume their vertical position by
engaging again with the bar 40 of the pawl 8. in order that it may not bo
possible to cause this pawl to descend, aid consequently to withdraw the rest,
between the moments of starting and arrival of the pendulums, I have provided
this pawl with a projection 41, which, when the bolt is pulled, comes against the
full part of the bolt which follows the notch 50. This projection constitutes a
safety device. The bolt being replaced in position, which takes place automatically
under the action of a flat spring, not shown, held by its end in the groove 54 formed
in the bolt, the end of the tumbler 26 is disengaged in its turn, and this tumbler
rises under the action of the spring 27 and replaces the piece 29 in its vertical
position. This latter liberates the coin which it held, which falls into the cup 55
(Fig. Sheet IV) whence the user may take it.
In cases where it is feared that the apparatus may be used by slipping into the
drums 38 and 30 medals or base coins, it would be possible to prevent fraud by
selling to the user discs having grooves which correspond to the grooves in the
sides of the slits or openings 56 and 56, Fig. 8 Sheet IV. Such a disc is shown
at Fig. 11 Sheet IV.
At Sheet 1111 show supports or stands for carrying my apparatus for resting
the arms that are of special form and which I claim as part of my invention
and being capable of serving, by the addition of a sheet or cloth, as a tent or simple
canopy or wind guard.
Figs. 1 and 2, Sheet 111, show a support or stand with a teut; 57 and 58
are the two legs of the support or stand, each formed with two uprights
respectively 57 57 and 58 58 united by the cross bars 59, 60, 61, 62. The two
legs of the support are connected at their upper parts by means of hinges 63 or
otherwise. The upper cross bar or rail 62 is buvelled, so as to form a stop and to
limit the amount of motion of the legs of the stand or support. Any other
arrangement of support may be employed; for instance, a chain which would
connect the two legs 57 and 58, or a strip of sheet iron from 7 to 15 centimeters
long fixed by one of its ends to one of the legs aud which by means of a groove
would hook over the holding meaus fixed to the other leg.
The box 17 euclosing the mechanism of the inovable arm rest is fixed to the
uprights 57 58 of the legs 67, 58. These uprights are each provided on the inside
with a guide 64 of iron or other metal flat or shaped to guide the small board
which the rest or band supports, at the same time as it strengthens the uprights.
It is in order to move along these guides 64 and to be held by them, that the sinall
board shown at Fig. 6, Sheet 11, is provided with grooves at its ends, which may
be cut out of the board itself, or they may be made by pieces of sheet metal or
other material attached thereto, as shown in said Fig. 6.
The sheet or cloth 65 is stretched as is seen by means of two strips 66 of wood,
sheet metal or other convenient material, upon the top of the box 17 and covers
the system partly or entirely; these strips are held in place by two plates 67 fixed
perpendicularly to the strips 66 and at the desired distance apart to form a casing
which embraces the front and rear sides of the box 17. A pin 68 passes at the
samo tine through the plates 67 and the box 17 by holes made for this purpose and
fixes the parts firmly together.
The legs of the support or stand terminate at their lower end with reduced
paris 69, which pass through rings sewn to the sheet or cloth of the tent, or to
cords which are fixed at those parts so as to hold the cloth against the legs of the
stand or support. The strips 66 form not only a support for the tent, but also act
as springs so as to hold the cloth perfectly stretched. In addition the cloth or
eheet has wido bems in the form of pockets for the purpose of receiving heavy

page_text: weights, so as to hold the tent down if it is not wished to employ tent pegs for this
purpose.
Hooks 70 enable a seat to be suspended in the tent, or a chair or other seat may
simply be placed between the two legs of the stand.
In case the tent is intended to be placed on loose soil, such as sea sand, the legs
are provided with shoes 71 (Fig. 7 Sheet III) with a wida base instead of rings
for holding the cloth or sheet. These shoes, attached to the cloth or to cords sewn
to this latter, are each provided with a hole 72, in which rests one of the uprights
of the legs of the stand.
In Figs. 3 and 4 I show a stand with legs capable of holding upon themselves
by means of hinges 73. On the opposite side of each of the hinges, the leg has
& double sleeve 74, in which a pin is placed when the leg is straightened so as to
keep it firm.
In Figs. 5 and 6 I show a stand or support with six legs (three on each side of
the box 17 enclosing the mechanism of the rest); each of these legs terminates at
its upper part by a screw which screws into a tapped socket. The arrangement of
the tapped sockets is attached to the box 17. The legs are of two or more pieces
connected together by screws and tapped sockets, or simply fitting into each other,
that is to say, without screws. The side legs of the support (Figs. 5 and 6) may
be replaced by cords attached at one end to rings fixed to the arrangement of
screwed sockets and at the other end to the ground by means of straining cords
with or without pegs. These lateral lege, instead of being rigidly attached to the
box 17, may be attached to it by means of hinges so as to be able to take
various positions upon the ground and thus to serve as struts to the tent.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :-
1. An apparatus to be fixed to the back of a seat or to a support which may be
used for a tent, canopy, wind-guard, etc., enclosing a rest which can be withdrawn
from the said apparatus, after having liberated it, by acting upon a cord of the
pawl which stops its motion, and which can afterwards be made to re-enter the
apparatus by again pulling the said cord for the purpose of liberating the spiral
spring mounted on the axis upon which the rest is wound, and thus enabling this
spring to unwind and cause the said axis to rotate, substantially as herein set
forth.
