T, JOHN CORRY FELL, of the Firm of Fell & Wilding, of 1 Queen Victoria
Street, in the City of London, Chartered Patent Agent, do hereby declare the
nature of my invention to be as follows:-
This invention relates to rocking chairs, swings hammocks etc. and consists in
such a swing or rocking seat combined with a fan to enable persons using it to rock
and fan themselves simultaneously and automatically and thus to cool themselves
more or less as may be desired.
This invention therefore supplies a want much felt in summertime or in hot
climates.

Fig. 1 shows the fan combined with a rocking chair and
Fig. 2 shows details.
The rocking chair G is arranged between two standards A, A which at the top
carry bearings for the axle a.
The axle a carries the head pieces B which carry a number of wings or boards C.
Below the centre of rotation of each head piece B is pivotted a connecting rod D
to which is pivotted an oscillating bar E centred in the standard A at 6 and the
other end of which is pivotted to a bar F pivotted at upon the chair.
When the chair G is rocked the head pieces B and with them the wings C
attached thereto receive a swinging motica producing currents of air.
The handle and cord H attached to support I can be used by the person who
wishes to put the chair and seat in motion.
It will be easily understood that the apparatus may be modified so as to suit a
swinging seat or hammock.
