620,907. Seats. EEMAN, L. E. Jan. 30, 1947, No. 2916. [Class 52 (ii)] In seats or chairs having a fabric seating surface slung between top and bottom or front bars a leg-supporting structure is supported in a rockable manner from the front bar and comprises a forwardly and a rearwardly exextending section respectively whereby the rearwardly extending section by engaging the body of the occupant causes the forwardly extending section to support the legs and feet of the occupant in a manner conducive to his comfort. As shown the structure 6 comprises a tubular frame having strips 8, 9, 10 of canvas &c. suspended from the front bar 4 by means of hooks 7 carried by the structure 6 and hooking over the bar 4. In modifications the structure 6 may be variable in size to suit various chairs by making the members of the structure telescopic and its shape may also be either plane or concave in side elevation. The means of suspension of the structure may be varied, e.g. the hooks 7 may have springs thereon for supporting the structure 6 which in another modification may be mounted above the bar 4 in a rockable manner. The leg structure may be adapted to existing deck chairs. The canvas seat may be supported from the top bar by springs or may pass over such bar and be adapted to' be wound on a roller having ratchet means to vary the length of the canvas seat. |
