MACHINE COVER AND CHAIR.

Can Bt Quickly Removed from Machine and Folded Into Chair. A unique device recently patented by a New York man is an attachment

for use in covering the operating parts of a sewing machine and having combined therewith means whereby the base of the cover serves as a sui* port for a chair, which can be used by the operator of the machine when the cover is removed. As shown in the Illustration, the cover Incloses the machine when the latter Is not in use, the seat and back of the chair folding In front The cover thus occupies but a minimum space, and as the chair portions extend downward behind the machine they do not detract from the appearance of the machine or interfere with its free movement from place to place. When It is desired to use-the sewing machine the cover Is removed and the parts folded to form the chair. The base of the cover forms a support' for the chair, hooks holding the - back in a vertical position.—Washington Star.
