KIERAN EGAN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN FOLDING-SEATS FCR STREET-RAILWAY CARS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 138,321, dated April 29, 1873; application iiled March 22, 1873.
Y vention consists in the plate, the hinged bar,
the sliding-seat, the socket and its lug and stops, the tube with its jaws, stops, and slot, v
and the slidingzrod and its knob, constructed and arranged in connection with each other, as hereinafter fully described.
A is a small plate, which is designed to be secured to the under part of a car-seat, or to some other support, and to the outer edge of which is hinged the end of a bar, B. C is the seat, which is placed and slides upon the outer part of the bar B, its movement being limited by a stop formed upon or attached to said bar, and which works in a groove in the said seat C, as shown in the gure. The seat C is kept in place upon the bar B by a socket, D, secured to the lower side of the seat C, and upon the lower side of which is formed a lug, d,which its into the space or slot between the jaws e ofthe upper end of the tubular part E of the standard, and which are pivoted to it by a pin. The upper end or head of the tubular part of the standard is provided with stops, shoulders, or toes, which strike against corresponding stops, shoulders, or toes formed upon the socket D, to stop and hold the said standard in a position at right angles with the bar B. F is a rod which fits 'and slides in the tube E, and has a knob, b', attached to it, the stem of which passes through a longitudinal slot in the tube E, said slot being provided with side slots or notches, so that the knob-stem can be turned into one or another of them to hold the standard extended to any desired length.
The seat is folded by contracting the standard E F, sliding the seat C and its attachments up upon the bar B, and allowing the seat to swing down upon its hinge.
In raising the seat for use, the bar B is swung up into a horizontal position, which causes the seat C and its attachments to slide to the end of the said bar B, and 'standard E F to drop into a vertical position. The standard E F is then extended to the proper length, and the seat is ready for use.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat-v ent- `The plate A, hinged bar B, sliding seat C, socket D and its lug and stops, tube E and its jaws, stops, and slot, and the rod F with its knob, constructed and arranged in connec-V tion with each other, substantially as herein shown and described.
