Revelylng Seat.
A seat especially adapted for. use on
open trolley car, for the overhead seats
a on 'busses, for benches in public parka
or private country houses, eto., is de
signed upon the prlnoiple of the rolling
top desk, so that there is always a
. dry surface during the rainy or snowy
weather. , As a covering for the ordi
nary fixed rails or solid wood seat there
is an endless roll, formed of fiat strips
of wood, riveted securely to panda of
leather, pegamoid or similar, material
and presenting an even surface, the
usual width of a single seat, which Is
slipped around the seat board. By
means of sank buttons or tings laced
at suitable intervals this roll oan be
readily revolved, ringing any portion
into position for a seat, as may be re
quired Thug, in the event of the sea
being exposed to the rain and rendered
unfit for use, the person desiring to sit
down lias simply by means of the fin
ger boles , or tings to draw the roll
forwards, and a "perfectly dry portion is
brought Into position, whilst the roll
is of such length that another dry por
tion sufficient for a seat is still in re
serve, if found necessary In addition
to this aa the roll is revolved in either
direction it it underneath the seat,
brongh In contact with an india-rubber
scraper whioh takes off all the heavy
. moisture so that even the portion of
the seat which has been exposed to the
rain is very quickly dried and again
rendered fit tor use. ...-..,,,,... w.
