CARRIAG E-SEAT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 599,823, dated March 1, 1898. Application filed August 5, 1897. Serial No- 647,178. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern-.-

Be it known that I, SAMUEL R. BAILEY, a citizen of the United States, and a resident OfAmeSbury, in the county of Essex and carriage-seats; and it consists in means for securing metal handles at the front of the seat to the seat-sill and wooden seat-rail; and it also consists in the employment of tubular metallic spindles secured to theseat-rail and seat-sill, as will hereinafter be more fully shown and described, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 represents a top plan view of my improved carriage-seat. Fig. 2 represents a front view of the same. Fig. 3 represents a side elevation of theinvention, partly shown in section. Fig. 4 represents an enlarged cross-section on the line 44, shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 5 represents a detail plan View of the handle-support. Fig. 6 represents a front view of said handle-support; and Fig. 7 represents a cross-section on the line 7 7, shown in Fig. 5.

' shown.

' of the seat-sill'and preferably secured to such parts by means of pins D D. I wish to state, however, that I do not desire to confine myself to the use of said pins as a means for securing said metal tubular spindles to the seat-rail and seat-sill, as said spindles may be secured to said rail and sill in any other suitable or desirable manner without departing from the essence of my invention.

By making the spindles O O of tubular metal great strength is secured the attachment This invention relates to improvements in of the seat-rail to the seat-sill, combined with lightness in proportion to the strength thus obtained. The said metal tubular spindle may readily be bent or curved, preferably in ogee forms, as shown, so as to make the seat roomy and comfortable for the occupants.

E representsthe solid metal handle, secured to the wooden seat-rail B, preferably by means of screws or rivets e e, as shownin Fig. 3.

To the front corner portion of the seat-sill A is secured a metal angle-plate F, provided with a perforated socket f, adapted to receive the lower end of the metal handle-bar E,which is preferably secured to said socket by means of a pin f or other equivalent fastening device.

By constructing the metal plates F of angular form and securing them to thefront corners of the seat-sill they effectively protect these portions or corners of the seat and prevent them from being broken or chipped off,which is a common thing with the ordinary wooden seat. By preference the angle portion of these brackets is of a thickness equal to that of the seat-sill, as clearly shown in Figs. 2 and 6 of the drawings.

What I wish to secure by Letters Patent and claim is- In a carriage-seat, the combination with the wooden seat-sill having a series of recessesin the upper face thereof around three sides, of a seat-rail having similar recesses upon its under side, a series of outwardly-curved hollow metal spindles having their opposite ends fitted in the recesses of the seat-sill and seatrail respectively, metallic angle-plates F, secured to the two front corners of the seat-sill and each plate having a solid angle portion of greater thickness than the remaining parts and a socket f, located at the angle of said plates, and handles E, secured at their upper ends to the seat-rail and having their lower ends fitted into the sockets in the angle-plates, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification, in the presence of two subscribing witnesses, on this 12th day of July, A. D. 1897.

SAMUEL R. BAILEY.
