` naPRovEn-NT ne REcnmINcecia-AIR l The, Schedule reforrodto in-theslters Patent and makingavplgrgffgjle- To all whom it ana/y concern. z

Be itA known that I, ANTHONY IsKE, of the o ityl of Lancaster, in the State of Pennsylvania, .have invented new and improved Combinations in Reclin ing-Chairs; and I do hereby. declare thatv the ibllowing is a full and correct description of the construction and operation of the same, reference beinghad to the accompanying drawings, making apart of lthis specification, in which- Figurel is a perspective view o1 one side of the chair without the seat and upholsterers work.

Figure 2, the same, in a reclining position, without the table. The dotted lines indicate the cushions' on' the arm and back-supports.

Figure 3 shows the united hinged frame and parts` detached.

Figure lt'shows the table aiid appliances. Figure 5, the outer side of the chair with the headed pin-plates and. hook, one of which latter is also separately shown; Y

The nature of my invention consists in the combination of the parts of a reclining-chair, .to answer both for the student or invalid, as well as an easy-chair *for the man-of business or leisure, as also to adapt tlie same for thegreater convenience for the upholsterer and mode of operating it.

To enable others skilled in the art tomake and use my invention, I will now describe the'sam'e.

jlhe metallic-jointed fra'me A, A, and A, is

in itself not new, b ut in ,additiolnn I forni the upper.

plate A* with a central (or nearly so) disk, j, perforated for a` binding-screw, QM', and two -slots with' space for said hook to slide on, between the guideledge or flange D, and open slots. Y

This arrangement 'is only required on one side of the chair, as the square hook end, made to fit into the slots, braces both ways.

I am aware that pawlswith `latchets'are used, but'.

the teeth on the ratchets must be reversed, and one pawl held up on the -one side, ywhile the other is'being operated on the other side, and therefore objectionable, while in this case itis only necessary to lift the hook out andshove it against the flange, when the back will fall and the footpiece risc to any desired inclination, by drawing the hook into its slot. The connection is iirm, and the Darts 'cannot` yield in any direction. v

rlhis lower plateA2 has also fastened, to the inner edge, perforated lugs or ears e, by which it can be ad-v justedto the side ofthe chair or rail R.

' The ari'nrail B, with its cushion, can be easily r'emoved, as alsothe .back and leg-,supports F G.

The table-Hffflsnl be turned in or around, and inclined,- so as to `adapt it to support a book or writing'- material, adjusted inthe most convenient manner,

This table is supported on a plate, I, provided with a circular disk, J, having radiating notches, for the reception of' a lip, k, adapted to fit into said'notches, said lip being on a similar disk, K, and like J perfo: rated for a binding-screw, M, which unites the two disks.

j When adjusted, this latter circular disk K is connected, bya bent arm, with a disk, L, also perforated, for a binding-screw, M', and by it is connected to the under side of the disk f in the upper piece Al'of the Y hinged frame, the latter having a screw-thread for that purpose.

The end or side-plates A1A* have also a hook-plate, E, with a slot opening, as shown, in such a -manner that tbe'lleaded pins b on the plates (X, fig. 5,) attached ftothe sidesP, and-which also `constitute thelegs or lsupports ofthe chair,-A can only be inserted or disengaged, when brought into a certain -position by the hinged frame, composed of A, A2, A, and A.

By means of these several additions, I obtain advantages of the. greatest importance, b'oth in construction" and finishing the chair with more ease; the seat is'more easily attached, after being cushioned, as also the back and armsupport, which is equally convenient for making repairs'on the same.

, As intimated before, I am aware tue hinge-arrangement is not n'ew, and that a pair of hinged pawls and reversed ratchets is also used, nor do I ciaimfsuch; but I am not aware that plates provided with slotted eyelets a, orv hooks E, perforations *and iiange D, and

ears e, were ever arranged orv used before, together with or without a disk, f, for, the attachment of a table, and putting the'parts together, in the-manner specified. Therefore,

What I claim as my invention, anddesirc to`\securc 1. The arrangement of theiiange D, hooks E, open slots a on the hinged pieces A, A", A, and A, inl combination with the 'headed pins b and plates X, on the several parts B, F, U, and P, substantially in the manner shown, and for tlie'pnrpose specified. I

2. In combination with the said arrangement of the parts aforesaid, the perforated disk j, ouV part A of the hinged frame,'with the disk L, on the adjust` able table-support I J K, with its binding-screwdld, when constructed and applied in the manner and for the purpose set forthf. v
