Which- Figure l represents a side elevation of a reclining-chair embodying my inventiomand Fig. 2 represeutsa back Viewot' the same.
Like letters of reference indicate like parts.
The object of my invention is to so con-` struct a chair as to admit of being adjusted to suit the convenienceof the occupant, either in a sitting or reclining position; and to that end myinvention consists in the'combinationwith the back, hinged to the bottom or arms ofthe chair, of an adjusting-spring and tightening- Y bolt, whereby the back is held firmly in position, and at any desired incline, as is hereinafter more fully described.
In the drawing, Arepresents the frame-work constituting the base or bottom of the chair, A
which may be made in the form shown, or in any other form' that will support the cushion B. G is the back, which may be made in any suitable form that will admit of being hinged to the base or bottom in such amanner as to allow the back to be inclined backward to any desired position. D is a curved metal spring, which is attached at one end to the frame of the back above the hinges, and at theother end to the frame of the base or bottom below the hinges, as shown in Fig. 1. Eis an adjusting-bolt, which is so arranged as to pass through one of the side numbers of the back and base, as shown by dotted lines in Fig. 2. The adjustment of the bolt is such that, when properly tightened, it holds the' back at anydesired inclination, at which it may be adjusted; andthe arrangement of spring D is such as to yield and allow the back to be adjusted to the desired inclination, when force is applied to the upper part of the back, and to force the back forward to itsnormal position when the bolt is loosened.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
' The` combination, with the back C hinged to the base orv bottom A, of the spring D and bolt E, substantiallyas and for the purposel specified. y v JAMES W. MGDONOUGH. Witnesses:
