Improvements in and relating to Chairs, Stools, and such like
Articles.
I ALEXANDER AITCHISON BROWN of Newfield Works Rutherglen in the
County of Lanark North Britain Cabinet Maker do hereby declare the nature of
this invention to be as follows:-
It relates to chairs stools, stands and such like articles; more especially to
those articles which are known as "adjustable baby chairs" and has for its
objects :-
1st. To adapt the legs of such articles for being expanded wider apart or
compressed closer together, lowered, raised and fixed in a variety of positions ;
2nd. To cheapen the bracketting of a baby chair foot rest;
3rd. To simplify the catch for locking the tray or table of a baby chair;
4th. To increase the strength, security and rigidity of adjustable baby chairs;
5th. To convert a baby chair into a crib;
6th. To convert a baby chair into a commode.
In carrying out this invention in connection with an adjustable, rocking and
carriage baby chair its general structure corresponds with that of those in every
day use, namely, a small baby chair with side rockers is supported upon four legs
which are pivotted to the rockers and partially held in its position by means of
toothed quadrants connected with the aforesaid legs. These legs are furnished at
their lower ends with small wheels; the two front legs are united together by
means of cross rails and as a consequence they move simultaneously; the two back
legs are similarly connected together by cross rails for conjoint action.
Certain devices for contracting and expanding the aforesaid legs consist in
pivotting one or more bars frames or slides to the front and back rails of the chair
and locking them together by means of pins, teeth, pawls or spring catches the bar
frame or slide upon one side fitting into upon or alongside that which protrudes
from the other side; one side being held firmly whilst the catch is released and
he legs drawn closer together or forced wider apart when the catch is again
nterlocked.
One of these devices consists of a tubular slide or bar pivotted or otherwise
ixed upon a connecting leg rail on one side of the chair, front or back and an
nterfitting or telescoping slide or bar similarly fitted upon a connecting leg rail
n the opposite side of the chair, so that these two bars or slides may be
elescoped one upon the other and locked or fixed together in a variety of relative
positions by means of holes pins screws or other catches, so that when they are
nlocked the legs can be expanded wider apart or drawn closer together and
be locking catch be fixed again retaining the chair rigidly in the altered
osition.
A variation of these devices consists of two tubular bars or slides pivotted or
xed upon a connecting leg rail at the front or back and united together by a
ross bar and on a rail at the opposite side of the chair are two rods or tubes
hich fit within these tubes or slides. These interfitting or telescoping slides are.

page_text: fixed together by means of pins holes screws or other catches in any position
required for distending the chair legs or for keeping them closer together.
A further modification of these devices consists of one or more bars with
toothed rack or racks which is or are pivotted hinged or otherwise attached to the
front legs of this chair or to one of their cross rails and adapted for being attached 5
to or upon the back legs or one of their back rails, in various positions, or vice
versa, so that as the chair is held firm and the said bar or bars is or are pulled
forward the legs are drawn closer together and the toothed rack or lacks engage
with a rail, catch or catches and thus retain the said legs in that position until the
bar is again moved.
When the said rack is released from its catch or hold fast the chair subsides
automatically by its own weight to a lower level the motion being assisted by the
beforenamed small wheels.
Instead of one or more single bars with toothed rack or racks being used for
the purpose of expanding the legs or drawing them closer together an open frame
in one or more sections is pivotted to the front legs or cross rail and hooked upon
the back legs or rail, or vice versa, and operated as above described.
One or more chains, straps, belts, cords or equivalent appliances is or are attached
to the legs or a rail at one side of the chair, front or back and adapted for
temporary attachment to the legs or a rail on the opposite side by means of holes
pins hooks bars knots and catches of any suitable kind: the drawing together of
the legs being effected by means of pulling the chain, cord or other device in a
forward direction against an opposite force exerted upon the other pair of legs:
and the fixing thereof is effected by the engagement of the aforesaid catches.
A further modification of the device for contracting and relaxing the legs
consists of a board pivotted to the legs or cross rail, front or back and is provided
with racks or catches for engaging with the opposite pair of legs or a cross bar.
The protruding end of this board is sometimes arranged so as to come at the front
and is utilized there as a foot rest support: at other times it is made to extend
beyond the chair at the back or hinged in one or more flaps to hang down or fold
up conveniently for packing.
A box, receptacle or drawer, attached, to the upper side of this board makes a
convenient receptacle for toys and other articles.
The process of contracting the legs is by the exertion of a lateral pulling force
imparted to the devices and the relaxing is effected by a lateral and sometimes by
a lateral and vertical force imparted to the devices containing the racks, pins,
boles or other catches.
A folding foot rest for the child is attached to the front rail or rails of the chair
by means of bent wire brackets of simple but novel construction driven into the
substance of the foot board and into the baby chair rails or bent around the cross
rail: no screws, nails or staples being used to affix these brackets to the woodwork.
One such wire bracket has a body part and two angled ends-one end pointing
north and the other east-its companion bracket has ends pointing south and east:
the ends being all on a horizontal plane for driving into the wood.
In order to prevent the accidental disengagement of the parts comprising this
catch the hooks are sometimes made like a series of the letter U placed upon their
sides, thus, C; and sometimes the rack which engages with the bar beforenamed
contains angled slots, thus 7, so that a lateral pull, drawing the moveable legs
momentarily nearer together is necessary before the catch hook or slot can be
freed from the bar. These slots are also made oblique or O, G, in shape for
insuring this safety against accidental disengagement.
A strong iron bar is sometimes fixed to two of the legs for the rack or racks to
engage with one of the leg rails is sometimes made fast to the pulling bar or
frame and its ends pivotted into two of the legs.
The end or ends of this iron bar is or are fitted within one or more slots contained
in the legs and held by spring pressure: one or more notched cams are formed o
fixed upon each or either of the rockers so that when the legs are expanded to

page_text: their widest extent in order that the chair may rest only on the rockers this iron
bar is forced outwards by the aforesaid cam or cams until it rests in the notch or
notches therein; the slots in the legs enabling the bar to move back and forward.
This iron bar is made to describe an arc with the legs to which it is attached, as
they are moved, whilst the rack containing or other locking bar board or frame
fixed to the opposite pair of legs describes a larger arc, the one intersecting the
other so that the iron bar requires to be inserted in the aforesaid cain-notch before
it can be effectively engaged by the locking bar.
The aforesaid devices for drawing together distending and fixing the legs of an
adjustable and rocking baby chair are designed also for application to the legs of a
stool, stand, pedestal, lamp support or other such like article.
The back of the chair herein described is made with an external fixed frame
and a duplicate back, solid, railed or perforated, which is pivotted or hinged near
the chair seat and adapted for being sloped backwards and fixed at any required
angle with the seat suitably for converting the chair into a crib; the fixed back
frame and hinged back being sometimes connected by a flexible awning or cover
similarly to a perambulator hood.
Beneath the perforated seat of this baby chair a sanitary dish is fixed removeably
upon supports conveniently for being removed and replaced without disturbing the
occupant of the chair.
A temporary, emergency, or supplemental scat attached to the locking frame or
board of this baby chair is made in one or more pieces and hinged to, fitted in
slides or otherwise fixed thereon and can be drawn or folded out for use when
required; this seat is upholstered or otherwise.
Slots of a U, eccentric or V shape are formed in the side parts of this baby
chair; the front end of each arm is stepped and undercut laterally between the
steps the tray or table edge fits into these undercut grooves and a pin on each
extremity of the tray sides fit into and are moved within the aforesaid slots. These
devices constitute a lock for the table when it rests upon the said steps, fits into
the lateral undercut recesses and is controlled by the pins within the slots. A
straight undercut or dovetailed slot is sometimes formed in each chair arm and
headed pins are attached to the rear ends of the table arms. The heads of these
pins are made to move back and forward in these undercut slots so that the tray
or table cannot be removed from the chair but can be drawn forward and folded
down back or front conveniently for packing the chair in small compass.
Another modification of this slot device consists of a plain straight groove,
neither undercut nor countersunk, which is formed in each chair arm and these
grooves are fitted with rectangular headed pins, the rectangular heads fitting the
plain slots and adapted for sliding back and forward laterally without rotating
therein; the pins are round and the metal shod rear ends of the table arms rotate
upon these laterally sliding pins. The arms of the table are bent inwards towards
each other and require forcibly expanding before they can be fitted externally
upon the chair arms. When the pins are put through the metal ends of these
table arms and the arms are expanded the rectangular heads of the pins can be
inserted in the grooves and the table is then a fixture to and upon the chair.
A locking device for each or either of these last named slot arrangements
consists in forming the front end of each chair arm with two steps, one to support
the table and the other to assist in locking it. A screw, stud or nail is fixed in the
supporting step and a hole or seat is formed in the under side of the table partially
covered with a slotted escutcheon when the table rests upon the locking step
the nail (or stud) head enters this bole and when the table is drawn forward it
descends upon the supporting step and the neck of the stud travels in the slot.
The table cannot be released accidentally or in any but one way from this catch.

Articles.
I, ALEXANDER AITCHISON BROWN of Newfield Works Rutherglen in the
County of Lanark North Britain Cabinet Maker, do hereby declare the nature
of this invention and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement :-
It relates to chairs stools, stands and such like articles: more especially to those
articles which are known as adjustable baby chairs and has for its objects;
1st. To adapt the legs of such articles for being expanded wider apart or
compressed closer together, lowered, raised and fixed in a variety of positions:

Similar letters of reference and numerals throughout these illustrations indicate
corresponding parts.
In carrying out this invention in connection with an adjustable, rocking and
carriage baby chair its general structure corresponds with that of those in every
day use, namely, a small baby chair A, B, C with side rockers D, is supported
upon four legs E which are pivotted to the rockers at d and partially held in its
positions by means of toothed quadrants e¹ connected with the aforesaid legs E
Figs. 1, 2 and 3. These legs E are furnished at their lower ends with small
wooden wheels e; the two front legs are united together by means of cross rails e³
and as a consequence they move simultaneously; the back legs are similarly
connected together by cross rails et for conjoint action.

page_text: Certain devices for contracting and expanding the aforesaid legs consist in
pivotting one or more bars (F Fig. 3,) frames G Figs. 1 and 2 or slides H Figs. 4
and 5 to the front or back rails e, e of the chair and locking them together by
ineans of pins teeth f pawls or spring catches, the bar F frame G or slide H
upon one side of the chair fitting into or upon the other side thereof and to its
corresponding bar frame or slide: one side being held firmly whilst the catch is
released and the legs E drawn closer together or forced wider apart when the
catch is again interlocked.
One of these devices is shewn in Figs. 4 and 5, and consists of a tubular slide
or bar H pivotted or otherwise fixed upon a connecting leg rail et on one side of
the chair, (front or back) and an interfitting or telescoping slide h² or bar similarly
fitted upon a connecting leg rail e³ on the opposite side of the chair, so that these
two bars or slides H, 2, may be telescoped one upon the other and locked or fixed
together in a variety of relative positions by means of holes, pins screws or catches
so that when they are unlocked the legs can be expanded wider apart or drawn
closer together and the locking catch be fixed again retaining the chair rigidly in
the altered position. Holes h³ are formed at intervals in the bar or tube H Fig. 5
and a hole 3 is made in 2 for the pin to pass through and engage with any of
the holes ³. The pin his operated by a lever handle pivotted to a bracket 4*
by means of a pin or screw h³.
A variation of the above named devices consists of two tubular bars or slides H, H,
pivotted or fixed upon a connecting leg rail at the frout or back of the chair,
(see Fig. 6) and united together by a cross bar h: and on a rail e at the opposite
side of the chair are two rods or tubes 2 which fit within or upon these tubes or
slides H. These twin interfitting or telescoping slides are fixed together by means
of pins, holes, screws or other catches in any position required for distending the
chair legs or for keeping them closer together, as shewn and described in connection
with Figs. 4 and 5. A spring 78 Fig. 5 is sometimes attached to these devices for
keeping the pin or pins in the holes.
A further modification of these expanding and contracting devices, shewn in
Fig. 3, consists of one more bars F, with toothed rack or racks ", which is or are
pivotted, hinged or otherwise attached to the front legs of this chair or to one of
their cross rails-3 Fig. 3-and adapted for being attached to or upon the back
legs or one of their back cross rails- Fig. 3-or vice versa, in various positions so
that as the chair is held firm and the said bar or bars F is or are pulled forward
the legs are drawn closer together and the toothed rack or racks f'engage with a
rail e, catch or catches and thus retain the said legs in that position until the
bar F is again moved. When the said rack f¹ is released from its catch upon the
bar or other equivalent holdfast the chair subsides automatically by its own
weight to a lower level, the motion being assisted by the before nained small
wheels e².
Instead of one or more single bars F with toothed rack or racks f¹ being used
for the purpose of expanding the legs E or drawing them closer together an open
framed rack with teeth f' is made and pivotted to the front legs E or cross rail e³.
and hooked upon the back legs E or cross rail e, or vice versa, and operated as
above described. A framed rack of this kind is shewn in Figs. 1 and 2 and is
marked G, and in Fig. 7 marked g' divided into two sections hinged one to the
other at g. This sectional form, hinged as shewn enables the framed rack, or bar
rack, so formed to be folded into smaller space for packing, and use.
One or more chains J Fig. 8, straps, belts, cords or. equivalent appliances
(K Fig. 9) is or are attached to the legs or a rail 3 or eat one side of the chair,
front or back and adapted for temporary attachment to the legs or a rail on the
opposite side by means of holes, pios j, books k², bars, knobs or catches of any
suitable kind; the drawing together of the legs being effected by means of pulling
the chain, cord or other device in a forward direction against an opposite force
exerted upon the other pair of legs and the fixing thereof is effected by the
engagement of the relative parts with the aforesaid catches.
:

page_text: A further modification of the devices for contracting and relaxing the legs E
consists of a board L Fig. 10 pivotted to the legs or cross rail e³ or e* front or back
and is provided with racks for other catches for engaging with the opposite pair
of legs E or a cross bar. The protruding end, Fig. 10, of this board is sometimes
arranged at the front and is utilized there as a foot rest support: at other times 5
it is made to extend beyond the chair at the back or hinged in one or more
flaps similarly to the part gl g' Fig. 7 so as to hang down or fold up conveniently
for packing and use. A temporary, emergency, or supplemental seat attached to
the locking frame G Figs. 1 and 2 or to the locking board L Fig. 10 of this baby
chair is made in one or more pieces or sections and hinged to, fitted in slides 1
(Fig. 10) or otherwise fixed thereon and can be drawn or folded out for use when
required: this emergency seat is upholstered or otherwise as required. A box M
receptacle or drawer, attached to the upper side of this board L Fig. 10, makes a
convenient receptacle for toys and other articles; the upper parts of the drawer M
contain slides for the supplemental seat board to be utilized there as a box lid :
see Fig. 11.
A strong iron bar e Figs. 1, 2 and 3 is sometimes fixed to two of the legs E for
a notch, rack or racks to engage with, and one of the leg rails e³ or e* is sometimes
made fast to the pulling bar F or frame G g' and its ends pivotted into two of the
legs E.
The end or ends of this iron bar e is or are fitted within one or more
slots e Figs. 2 and 3 contained in or upon the legs and held therein by spring
pressure one or more notched cams d2 Figs. 1, 2 3 and 20 are formed or fixed
upon each or either of the rockers D so that when the legs E are expanded to their
widest extent, too widely for the racks f¹ to engage with the cross rail e Fig. 2,
and the chair rests only upon the rockers D this iron bar is forced outwards
against the spring e Fig. 3, by the aforesaid cam or cams until it rests in the
notch or notches d³ therein. This notched cam device d² d³ and slot e enable a
much shorter bar F, frame G or board L to be used for leg expanding and
contracting purposes. The slot or slots e enable the bar e to move back and
forward sufficiently to enter into or be removed from the notch or notches d³. Two
notched cams, Fig. 20 and a bare moving in slots e enable the parts F, G, g' or H
to be dispensed with.
In order to prevent the accidental disengagement of the parts comprising this
catch or rack the hooks thereof are sometimes made like a series of the letter U
placed upon their sides, see Fig. 9, and sometimes the rack which engages with the
bar e contains angled or O, G slots, see in the drawings, so that a lateral pull,
drawing the moveable legs E momentarily nearer together is necessary before the
catch, hook or slot can be freed from the bar e. The process of contracting and
fixing the legs E is by the exertion of a lateral and downward force imparted to
the devices and the relaxing and expanding is effected by a lateral and upward
force imparted to the devices containing the racks fi.
The aforesaid devices for drawing together, distending and fixing the legs of an
adjustable, rocking and carriage baby chair are designed also for application to four
legs similarly attached to the top of a stool, stand, pedestal, lamp support or other
such like article.
A folding font rest c¹ Figs. 1, 2 and 3 is attached to the front rail or rails c of
the chair A, B, C by means of bent wire brackets c³ Fig. 3 or c Fig. 12; one end
of each wire bracket is driven into the substance of the foot board and the other
end (of) is bent round the cross rail c²; and that of c is driven into the upright
rail C. No screws, nails or staples are required to affix these wire brackets to the
woodwork. .
The back of the baby chair herein described is made with an external fixed
frame having upright sides B, B and a duplicate back ', (solid railed or perforated
which is pivotted or hinged to or near the chair seat (see Figs. 1 and 2 and b
Fig. 3) and adapted for being sloped backwards and fixed at any required angle-
see Fig. 3-with the seat A suitably for converting the chair into a crib the fixed
back B B and hinged back b¹ being sometimes connected together by a flexible
:

page_text: awning hood or cover similarly to a perambulator hool. The straps 64 Figs. 2 and 3
are for engaging with catches upon either B, B or 6. When the duplicate back 6¹
is folded into the sides B, B, it is fixed thereto by means of a knob and pin, screw
or other simple contrivance such as 6 Figs. 1, 2 or 3.
Beneath the perforated seat a¹ of this baby chair a shallow sanitary dish is fixed
removeably upon supports or slides conveniently for being removed and replaced
without disturbing the occupant of the chair. In Fig. 2 the sanitary dish a² with
frame a is shewn drawn partially out at the front of the chair: if the dish a² is
removed from a³ the latter suffices to support the wrappings or cushions when the chair
is converted into a crib, or a sliding board similar to 3 Fig. 10 can be inserted
beneath the seat in place of the sanitary dish a when the chair is thus converted
iuto a crib. The dish a is shewn in Fig. 3 let into the top of a sliding drawer a¹
fixed upou drawer slides a³ beneath the chair seat.
Slots of a U, eccentric or V shape are formed in the side parts or arms of
this baby chair; the front end of each arm is stepped and undercut laterally at 68.
Fig. 13 between the steps; the tray or table edge fits into these parts 6 and a
piu n³ Fig. 14, on each extremity of the tray sides n² fit into and are moved within
the above named or other slots in the arms. The arms n² of the table N Fig. 14
are bent inwards, horse shoe fashion, towards each other and require forcibly
expanding before they can be fitted externally upon the chair arms. These devices
constitute a lock for the table N when it rests upon the said steps, fits into the
lateral undercut recesses 68 and is controlled by the pins within the slots.
shallow slot Fig. 3 terminating in a deep recess 610 and a lateral bore
indicated by dotted lines at 61 Fig. 3 are adapted for fixing the tray or
table N, n', n Fig. 14, thereto the pins n' fit into the holes 6" and those
marked fit into and move within the slots 2°. When these pins n' n³ enter
their holes 610 6 the tray is locked immoveably so that it cannot be accidentally
disengaged the arms n² must be forced outwards until the pins n' are freed
from the holes 610 when the tray N can be drawn forward and removed from
the chair.
A
A straight undercut slot 613 Fig. 15 is sometimes formed in each chair arm
and headed pins n Fig. 15 are attached to the rear ends of the table arms n².
The heads of these pins are made to move back and forward in these undercut
slots so that the tray or table N can be removed from the chair or drawn
forward and folded up or down conveniently for packing the chair and tray
into small compass and other purposes: the pins n' fit into the front ends of
these undercut slots 618.
Another modification of this slot device comprises a plain straight groove b
Fig. 16 which is formed in each chair arm 6' and these grooves are furnished
with rectangular headed pins 61; the rectangular heads are fitted into the plain
slots and adapted for sliding back and forward therein laterally without rotating :
the pins are round and the metal shod ends of the table arms rotate upon these
laterally sliding pins. When these pins are put through the metal ends n' and the
arms are expanded the rectangular heads of the pins can be inserted in the
grooves 6 and the table is then a fixture to and upon the chair.
A locking device for each or either of these last named slot arrangements
consists of steps formed on the front ends of the chair arms, one step 6 Fig. 17 to
support the table and the other to assist in locking it. A screw stud or nail is
fixed in the supporting step and a hole or seat is formed in the under side of the
table and is partially covered with a slotted escutcheon plate n Fig. 19: when the
table rests upon the upper step the nail (or stud) head enters this hole and when
the table is drawn forward it descends upon the supporting step and the neck of
the stud travels in the slot. The table cannot be released accidentally or in any
but one way from this catch.
The toothed quadrants e¹ shewu in Figs. 1, 2, 3 and 18 are made of stamped
tough metal fixed upon the edges of the legs E and not upon the broadside margins

page_text: thereof. They are pressed in metal moulds or dies, are unbreakable, and fit each
into the other without any slackness.
In applying the leg expanding and contracting devices, herein described and
drawn, to a stool stand or such like article the parts D herein represent the side
flanges of a stool, table or stand upon or above which the top or seat is fixed.
I am aware that, previous to my invention rocking and carriage baby chairs have
been made with expansible legs, iron wheels and pivotted tables also with foot
rests and toothed quadrants, and a great variety of devices for contracting and
expanding the legs: also that stools, stands and such like articles have been made
It
with expansible and collapsible legs for lowering and raising purposes.
will therefore be understood that I do not claim such things broadly as my
invention.
