3 Claims.
This invention relates to a sanitary and chair protective hand grip adapted for attachment to barber and beautician chairs and the like.
An object of the invention is to provide a grip of the kind described to be used by an attendant in moving such chair from one position to another while engaged in attending a customer.
Another object is to provide such a means which protects the chair against the unsightly and unsanitary marks and smears of cosmetics and the like from the attendants hands and arms.
Another object is to provide such an attachment which is readily cleansed and restored to sanitary condition after having been so marked and smeared.
Another object is to provide such a device which is adapted for efficient manufacture and readily attachable into operative position.
These and other objects are attained by the means described herein and illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the upper portions of a barber, beautician or similar chair with the means of this invention applied thereto.
Fig. 2 is a rear elevational View of the hand grip of this invention.
Fig. 3 is a cross sectional View taken on line 33 of Fig. 2.
The hand grip 5 is, in effect, a corner bracket adapted to be attached, one each, upon one of the upper corner portions 6 and '7 of the back 8 of a chair 9 of the kind described which are usually movable pivotally both in a horizontal and in a vertical plane.
Grip 5 is preferably formed with an integral core or body 10 (Fig. 3) such as of iron, covered by the glazed hard surface coating 11, such as enamel. The grip comprises the top arm 12 adapted to be positioned against the top edge of the corner portion of a chair back, and the side arm 13 adapted to be positioned against a considerable extent of the side edge of the chair back. Formed continuously along one edge of said arms is a flange 14 adapted to be positioned against and secured to the rear of the chair back such as by screws passing through perforations 15, whereby the bracket is operatively positioned. The resulting structure is substantially L-shaped in cross section and adapted to snugly embrace the top corner portions of the chair back.
An integral, upwardly projecting extension 16, substantially coextensive in length with arm 12 and integral therewith, serves as the grip proper, adapted to be grasped by an attendant in effecting pivotal movement of the chair. Extension 16 is preferably formed along the rear edge of arm 12 and may be provided with depressed portions 1'7 facilitating grasping thereof.
As herein shown the top arm 12 is of rounded formation to snugly embrace the similarly rounded corner portions 6 and 7 of the chair shown. It is obvious that other shapes are readily produced to fit properly chair backs of different designs.
The attachments preclude contact of an attendants hands and arms with the chair, whereby the usual leather or plush chair covering is protected as well as the clothes of the customer which otherwise might easily come in contact with grease smears and the like. Such smears may be instantly and completely wiped off the attachments of this invention. Moreover, the extensions 16 are adapted to space the arms of the attendant from the portions of the chair therebelow. The simplicity of the hand grips adapt them for efiicient manufacture and ready positioning.
What is claimed is:
1. A chair protective and sanitary hand grip for barber and beautician chairs and the like and adapted to preclude contact of the hands and arms of an attendant with the top portions of a chair back, said attachment consisting of a readily-cleansable smooth surfaced brack t member adapted to embrace a top corner and adjacent edge portions of a chair back and provided with a flange adapted to lie against and be secured to the rear of the chair back for positioning the grip, and a handle portion projecting outwardly of the body of the grip.
2. A chair protective and sanitary hand grip for barber and beautician chairs and the like and adapted to preclude contact of the hands and arms of an attendant with the top portions of a chair back, said attachment consisting of a readily-cleansable smooth surfaced bracket member adapted toembrace a top corner and adjacent edge portions of a chair back, a rounded extension on the bracket adapted to project outwardly of the chair back for providing a handle to be used in moving the chair, and a flange on the bracket adapted to lie against and be secured to the rear of the chair back for positioning the grip.
3. A chair protective and sanitary hand grip for barber and beautician chairs and the like and adapted to preclude contact of the hands and arms of an attendant with the top portions of the back of a chair of the kind described, said grip comprising a readily-cleansabie smooth surfaced bracket member substantially L-shape in cross section and adapted to embrace the top, side and rear edge portions at the upper corner of a chair, an integral extension on the bracket and adapted to project outwardly of the chair for providing a handle to be used in moving the chair, and means for securing the rearwardly positioned part of the bracket to the rear of the chair back.
