Description
Hunzinger's invention "is an improvement upon that for which Letters Patent were granted to me dated October 1st 1861, and consists in an improved construction of folding arm to the chair, also in a hinged bottom to the chair, so applied with the folding X legs, that the same shall prevent the legs folding or spreading under the operation of a weight. I also apply adjustable connecting bars between the back and foot rest in such a manner that their relative inclination may be adjusted." (Patent Number 39,995)
