To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, E. Burton Haynes, a citizen of the United States, residing in the city and county of Baltimore, State of Mary5 land,haveinvented a new and useful Improvement in Piano-Stools, which improvement is fully set forth in the following specification and accompanying drawing’s, in which—

Figure 1 is a side elevation, partly broken io away, of a piauo-stool embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a front view thereof. Fig. 3 is a top or plan view thereof, partly broken away.

Similar letters of reference indicate corre15 sponding parts in the several figures.

My invention consists of novel features in a piano-stool, as follows: an adjustable back, a removable back, a seat adjustable in height, and a foot-restadjustable vertically and to and 20 from the instrument.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the seat of the piano-stool, aud B the stem depending therefrom; C, the base on which said stem is sustained; D, the foot-rest, and E 2ς the back thereof. On the sides of the seatframe are longitudiually-extending plates F, in which are T-shaped grooves a, to receive tongues b, projecting inwardly from the sides of plates G, which are secured to the frame 30 of the back E. In order to connect the said plates G with the plates F, I employ bolts H, whose heads are fitted in the heads of the grooves a, and whose shanks pass through the tongues b and platesG, the ends of the shanks 35 being provided with nuts J for tightening purposes. It will be seen that by loosening the nuts J the back may be moved in and out.and thus adjusted to the requirements of the occupant of the seat.

In order to adjust the height of the seat,the 40 stem B is formed with a series of openings or notches, c, to receive the point of a screw, K, which is passed through the base, so that when the stem is raised or lowered, and the seat accordingly adjusted in height, the screw 45 retains the part in adjusted position. The foot-rests D are provided with sockets D', through which are passed the lower and vertical limbs of L-shaped arms L, the upper and horizontal limbs thereof being fitted in sockets 50 L',secured to the under side of the seat-frame, by which provision said arms, and consequently the foot-rest, may be moved nearer to or farther from the instrument, or toward, and from the front of Jhe seat, said rest being also 55 vertically adj ustable relatively to the requirements of the occupant of the seat, the several parts being held in their adjusted positions by set-screws.
