BARBERS CHAIR.

Application filed October 8, 1927. Serial No. 224,912.

My invention relates to improvements in barbers chairs and the like, and has for its object the provision of an improved construction of this character provided with means facilitating movements or adjustments thereof o-ver a floor or the like.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a` simple and effective construction of this character in which the working parts are concealed and protected.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a construction of this character which increases the effective base and thereby renders the construction more stable in use.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

The invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by reference to the accompanying drawings forming a p art of this specification and 1n which- Fig. l is a side view of a barbers chair embodying the invention; and

Fig. 2 a horizontal section taken substantially on line 2-2 of Fig. l.

The preferred form of construction as illustrated in the drawings comprises an ordinary barbers chair having the usual back 5, seat 6 and foot rest 7, all mounted in the usual way upon a central stem 8 rotatably supported ona circular base 9 in the usual way. At its forward side so as to come directly under the foot rest 7, the base 9 is provided with a forwardly and transversely extending housing 10 in which is rotatably mounted a bearing roller l1 as shown, said roller being arranged to extend transversely and substantially tangentially with reference to the curved periphery of the circular base 9. The roller 11 is also set in the housing 10 to contact with the floor or bering attention. In such relation, it will be noted, that the effect of the construction is to extend the effective base under the foot rest 7 when it receives the weight of a customer seating himself in the chair and thereby tending to prevent tipping' of the chair under such circumstances. W hen it is dcsired to move the chair all that is necessary is to tip the chair slightly forwardly, as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. l, and whereby the weight of the chair will be thrown entirely upon the roller l1, and said chair thus readily moved or shifted into'any desired position. The elongated form of the roller' well adapts the same to carrying the comparatively heavy weight of the chair without injury either to the roller or to the fioor surface over which the chair is moved. The bearing roller is entirely concealed and protected in the housing 10. It will also be noted that the appearance and proportion of the chair are improved by the attachment disclosed. The specific arrangement of parts is a simple and effective one for the purpose.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carryedge of said base, said roller being arranged v and adapted to bear the entire weight of said base when the same is tilted.

In witness that I claim the foregoing as my invention, I afliX my signature this 4th day of October, A. D. 1927.

JOSEPH T. BAYARD.
