Cooperative Society Leeds in the county of York do hereby declare the nature
of my Invention for AN IMPROVED CONVERTIBLE SEAT OR TABLE" to be as

"
The object of my invention is to construct seats or chairs, so that they can be
easily and readily converted into tables when required.
I construct the backs and bottoms or seats so that they are hinged together, and
have a bracket at each side, in each bracket is formed a slot, the slots fit on to studs
on the chair arms or sides, to change the chair into a table, the back and bottom
(which are hinged together) are simply turned over on the studs or pivots, and the
underside of the back and bottom of the chair forms a table, two rods or arms are
hinged to the chair, so that they can be drawn out and support the table.

of my Invention for "AN IMPROVED CONVERTIBLE SEAT OR TABLE," and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement :-
The object of my invention is to construct seats and chairs, so that they can be
easily and readily converted into tables when required.
I construct the backs and bottoms or seats so that they are binged together and
have a bracket at each side, in cach bracket is formed a slot the slots fit on to studs
on the chair arms or sides, to change the chair into a table, the back and bottom
(which are hinged together) are simply turned over on the studs or pivots, and the
underside of the back and bottom of the chair forms a table, two rods or arms are
hinged to the chair, so that they can be drawn out and support the table.
DISCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS.
Fig 1 is a side elevation of convertible chair and table shewn as a chair or seat.
Fig 2 is a front elevation of Fig 1 shewn as a single chair or seat.
Fig 3 is a side elevation of convertible chair or seat, shewn as a table.
Fig 4 is a front elevation of Fig 1 shewn as a seat for a number of persons.
A is the frame of the chair or seat, B is the back of the chair, C is the bottom or
seat, the two are hinged together at D so that when turned over to the top they
form the table as shewn at Fig 3, the bottom C carries a bracket E at each side or
end, in each bracket is a slot F which fits on to studs G on the chair arms or
sides H, to change the chairs or seats into tables the back and bottom are
simply turned over on the studs or pivots and the underside of the backs or
bottoms of the chair forms a table for single or any number of persons as required,
rods or arms J are hinged to the chairs at K. so as to be drawn out or turned up to
support the table. L are the stay rods for strengthening or holding the chair or
seat together. Chairs or seats so constructed are specially useful for meetings
of clubs or other gatherings where teas and meetings are held or for school
purposes.
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:-
The construction of chairs or seats so that the undersides of the parts used as
bottoms and backs become when turned over the tops of tables as shewn and
described.
