Application October 30, 1945, Serial No. 625,637

2 Claims. (Cl. 15581) My invention relates to seats for barbers, dentists, and similar operators, and the main object of my invention is to make their Work easier by providing means for seating them while at work.

Another object of my invention is to provide an operating stool which can be adjusted to the height of the operator as well as to the distance from the person sitting in the barber or dentist chair.

Other objects of my invention may appear in the following detailed description of my invention, which will be understood best with reference to the accompanying drawing forming a part thereof. It is, however, to be noted that my invention is not to be limited or restricted to the exact construction and assembly described in the following specification and shown in the drawing, but that such changes and modifications may be made which fall within the scope of the claims appended hereto.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a stool according to my invention, a barber chair of conventional construction to which it is applied being shown in broken lines.

Figure 2 is an end elevation of the stool shown in Figure '1, and

Figure 3 is a sectional view substantially taken on line 3-3 of Figure l.

The stool according to my invention has a circular base iii. A barber or dentist chair of conventional construction can rest on this base as indicated in Figure 1. If desired, however, this base may be made integral with the barber chair.

On the portion of the base Iii that is located at the back or" the barber chair, a pocket is formed by a curved top i2 which is fastened at its cir- V cumference to the base H], permitting the rear portion of the foot of the barber chair to be pushed into said pocket. The curved top I2 is shaped to correspond to the foot of the barber chair.

In the center of the top l2 and extending diametrically to the base it slide guides l3 "are formed, and a slide plate i l, to which a round upright post i5 is rigidly fastened, is adapted to slide between the slide guides l3, carrying the post l5 with it. A stool support [6 is made of tubing and its lower straight portion I1 is rotatably mounted on the post I5. In order to strengthen the stool support iii an upright extending plate It is fastened to the top portion of the slide guides l3 and a shackle l9-surrounding the portion ll of the stool support It is fastened to upright plate l8.

Above the end of the upright post I5 the stool support I6 is bent in horizontal direction as indicated at 20, and at 2! it is bent to extend again upwardly. A brace 22 extends from the horizontal portion 23 adjacent its forward end to the upper vertical portion 24 of the stool support l5 near its upward end. Another brace 25 is provided between the horizontal stool support portion 23 and the lower vertical stool support portion H, as clearly shown in Figure 1.

A round post 26 fits rotatably into the upper stool support post 24 and the upper part of post 26 is screw-threaded as shown at 21 in Figure 1. A round knurled nut 28 fits onto the screw thread 27 and rests on the upper end of the stool support it.

On the top of the screw threaded post 26 a second pair of slide guides 29 is fastened and permits a slide plate 30 to slide therein back and forth. A seat 3| is fastened to the slide plate 30.

A. thumb screw 32 is provided in the slide guide i3 on the base It and is adapted to secure the slide [4 in adjusted position.

From the above description it is easy to see that a stool according to my invention can be easily attached to a barber chair or the like; that the height of the seat of such stool can be adjusted by raising or lowering the post 26 in the upper stool support portion 24 by means of the knurled round nut 28, and the distance from the seat to the barber chair can be varied by the slide I3-l 4 on the base i0 and the slide 29-30 directly under the seat 3L In addition, the seat 3! can swing about the barber chair on the upright post i5, so thatthe work of the operator will be greatly facilitated by the use of a stool according to my invention.

Having described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. The combination, with a barber chair including a pedestal having an enlarged base rim, of a stool positioned adjacent said chair and comprising a base with a pocket formed therein for the reception of said rim, 2. pair of parallel spaced guides fixedly carried by said base and radially disposed relative to said chair, a plate slidably mounted within said guides, a vertical post secured to said plate, a stool support rotatably mounted at its lower end on said post, and means carried by the upper end of said stool support for adjustably supporting a seat.

2. The combination, with a barber chair including a'circular pedestal, of a stool positioned adjacent said chair and comprising a circular basedisposed beneath said pedestal, a cover secured to said base adjacent one edge thereof forming a pocket in conjunction with said base for the reception of said rim, a pair of parallel spaced guides fixedly carried by said base and radially disposed relative to said chair, a plate slidably mounted within said guides, a. vertical post secured \to said plate, a stool supportrotatably mounted at its lower end on said post, and means carried by the upper end of said stool support for adjustably supporting a seat.

GEORGE 'W. BOOTH.
