j NITEDV STATES PATENT OFFICE.

NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR OF ONEQHALF FITZ GERALD, OF SAME PLAGE.

IMPROVEMENT IN CHAIR-SEATS.

Specilication forming part of Letters Patent No. l '71,2 l2, dated December 21, 1875; application iled July 26, 1875.

To all 'whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PETER BUGKLEY, of Binghamton, Broome county, New York, have invented certain Improvements in Chair- Seats, which improvements are fully set forth in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.

The object of my invention is to arrange the material of the seat in such a manner as torincrease the strength and durability ofthe work, to prevent it from sagging from use, and t0 facilitate the operation of construction. It also has for its object to ohviate the. usual inequalities on the surface of' the seat and the use of less material than by the ordinary method.

lThe nature of my invention consists in the attachment of the Warp-strands to a pin which lies Aparallel with the frontend back rounds of the the seat-frame, which pin is secured to said rounds by winding around them the material used for the Woof of the seat, by which means the ordinary binding-hoop is dispensed with, and the work left with a more even and agreeable surface.

Figure l in the accompanying drawing represents a chair seat, embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a scat detached, with a section unfinished, showing the warp-strands, and the manner oftheir connection with the warp-.pin and the woot'. Fig. js an inverted View of the same. Fig. 4 is one of the warp-strands detached from the position, as shown in Fig.

pin (l, and extend far enough on the under side to be securely Woven in by the Woof b. The pin C extends parallel with, and to the full length of, the inside of the frame-rounds 5 a a, and is made of a piece of the round rattan, or it may be made of other and stronger material. For the 'purpose of preserving the plane surface of the seat near the attachment to the rounds a a I apply a parallel shoulder,

,'(not shown in the drawing,) which bears V'on the full length of the inside of the roundsa a. When the chair is bottomed the end of the woof b is secured to the post of the chairframe. The Warp-pin O is then placed in p0- sition, and the -woof Wound around it and the round a, binding them securely together to the required distance for the insertion of the Warp-strand B, the end of which is then passed down between the pin C and the round a and lapped `under the seat. The Woof b` is then wound around the round a, separately, to the Width ofthe warp-strand B. The winding is then resumed, as at the commencement, until the strands are all placed in position on the front and back rounds of the seat, which is then woven by passing the Woof b transthe work is nished. A seat formed inlthis manner has great strength and durability, is very cheap in its construction, andhas an unusually plane andneat surface.

I am aware that there were Letters Patent granted to William G. Bulgin for improved chair-seat, dated June 7, 1870, No. 103,973, which is similar in 'appearance to my invention, but entirely dii'erent in construction. I

patent.

Having thus-described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The combination of the warp-pin (l, warp- Vstrand B, consisting of separate pieces .for each passage across the seat, and Woof b, constructed as herein described, for the purpose set forth. y
