Application filed March 16,1895. Serial No. 542,034. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Viena E. IIarvEY, of Kansas City, in the county of Jackson, in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new 5 and useful Improvements in Infants’ Chairs, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.

i o My invention relates to improvements in infants’ chairs of that class which combines the essential features of usefulness of a chair and commode; and my invention consists of certain features of novelty hereinafter described, 15 and pointed out in the claims.

Figure I represents a perspective view of the chair with the seat closed. Fig. II represents a vertical cross-section on the line x x of Fig. II. Fig. Ill represents a perspec20 tive view with the seat and foot-rest open.

Fig. IV represents a horizontal cross-section on the line y y of Fig. III. Fig. V represents a top or plan view of the chair. Fig. VI represents a detail view of the table.

Similar numerals refer to similar parts throughout the several views.

represents the sides, 2 the back, and 3 the bottom, of the chair.

represents the seat hinged to the back at 5. 30 6 represents a foot-rest hinged to the bot- tom at 7 and adapted to close up, closing the front of the bottom portion of the chair below the seat.

represents strips along the sides to sup35 port the seat when closed, and 9 represents a spring-detent to engage and secure the seat when open.

represents vertical strips near the front ' edge of the sides, against which the foot-rest 40 closes.

represents a hook or similar device engaging a staple or eyebolt in the foot-rest to secure the same when closed.

represents a slatted bottom resting upon the bottom of the chair. 45 represents a suitable vessel supported upon the slatted bottom· and retained in position by the blocks 14 engaging the bottom of the vessel and the bar 15 adjustable in the grooves 16 in the side bars 17, secured to 50 the sides of the chair.

represents a table supported on the chair by the arms 19 entering the recessed supports 20.

I am aware that infants’ chairs of this, class 55 are not new and therefore do not claim the same, broadly; but

What I do claim as my invention, and desire to
