IIVIPROVED SEAT AND CANE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 40,@23, dated December t1, 1863.

To all whom t may concern:

Beit known that I. CHARLES H. DAscoMB, of Cleveland, in the county of' Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Cane and Seat; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and complete description of the construetion of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, in which- Figure l, is a view as a cane. Fig. 2is a view showing the cane separated in the middle, with dotted lines showing the manner of separating the upper section. Fig. 3 is aview of the head and connecting-pin combined, and Fig. 4 is a view when formed into a seat.

This invention relates to an improvement upon a patent granted to me under date of August 20, 1861. In that patent there were four sections. In this there are only threein addition to the head.

In Fig. l, A represents the lower section. This has its upper section hollowed out, forming a cylinder for about one-third its length, into which the triangular canvas or leather seat S is packed when used as a cane. The upper part, B, is formed in two sections, as indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 2. The lower end, when the two parts are united, are formed into a round tenon, which enters the cavity in the lower section, and thus holds t-hem securely in place. These two pieces are united at or near their center by a pin, c, on which they articulate when the parts are separated to form a seat.

Two of the corners of the triangular piece S are attached, respectively, to the lower ends of the sections B, and in forming the seat the three sections are placed, respectively, in the position shown in Fig. 4, and they are thus secured in place by the pin C ofthe head,

Fig. 3, passing through the three sections by oHAs. H. DAscoMB.
