. Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 35,532, dated June 10, 1852.
To all whom itmay concern:
Be it known that we, JOSEPH MERRILL and JOHN H.'ROWE, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful'or Improved Foot- Warmer; and we do hereby declare the same to be fully described in the following specifi cation, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, of which Figure 1 is a perspective view, and Fig. 2. a horizontal section, of it. Fig. 3 is avertical and transverse section taken through one of the foot-cases. Fig. 4 is a top view of one of the foot-cases in a folded state. Fig. 5 is a top view of one of] the foot-cases in an unfolded f state. Fig.6 is a vertical and longitudinal sectionvot' the footwvarmer.
The stand of such foot-warmer is exhibited at A; and it consists of a box open in front,
and separated ,into two apartments, a a, by means of a vertical partition, b. Each of these apartments is intended to receive aseparate foot case or holder, B, whichis constructed in three separateparts, c d d, the two portions cl (1 being respectively hinged to the opposite edges of the part c. HTheinner surfaces of the said parts 0 d d are cushioned or covered with thickfur or some other suitable non-conductor of heat, the whole being so formedthat when the case Bis within its chamberor recess of the stand and the foot of a person is pressed into' such case the cushions of the latter shall fit-closely around or to the foot in a manner to preserve in l the foot the animal heat thereof, or, in other words, to keep the foot warm.
Each of the chambers or apartments a a is i furnished with two rests or ledges, f g, which are extended upward from the bottom of the chamber and serve to support the foot-rest c of the foot-casewhen in an inclined position, as shown in Fig. 3. Furthermore, there are springs h h applied to the opposite sides of eachof the chambers a a, and so as to bear against the cushioned parts (I d. These springs not only permit the parts I dto yield to the foot of a person while being introduced between them, but operate to press the cushions of such parts in close contact with the foot after it has been introduced. By constructing the foot-cases separate from the stand and otherwise in manner as described, they can be easily removed from the stand at any time and unfolded for the purpose of enabling their cushions to be brushed or beaten and cleaned of dirt which may have been deposited on them from the feet of a person. Furthermore, the outside of the stand is intended to be covered with carpet, or stuffed and upholstered, so as to serve the purpose of an ottoman or seat or a foot or knee supporter. Toe-cushion Z Z, separate from the foot-cases, maybe aflixed to the inner side of each chamber a a of the stand A, and in such positions that when p a persons foot is pressed into either of the cases its toe shall abut against one of such cushions.
Our invention will be found of much utility in the pew of a church, where it can be employed both as a means of keeping the feet of a person warm as well as for a support for his. knees while he maybe engaged in prayer.
