Show Electricity In a Hocker. Donver Times. Two Denver men havo Just patented an electric dovico that promises to bring famo and fortune to them. They aro Gaines M. Allan, an attorney, and S. M. Cawkor, a gentleman who has a turn for mechanics, and their dovico Is an electrical electri-cal rocking chair. It can bo attached to any ordinary rocking chair and Is eo arranged ar-ranged that the chair docs not appear unlike un-like tho chair seen ln every hotiso. Under tho scat Is placed a email dynamo about as largo as two .sts. To this Is attached two bruss rods, mlnlaturo walking beame, which operate the dynamo when tho chair Is rocked In other words tho rocking of the chair causes tho rods to movo back and forth and they set tho dynamo In motion. Concealed Con-cealed wires lead from tho dynamo to tho arms of the chair and to receive tho electricity elec-tricity ono has only to rest tho hands nnd arms on tho arms of tho chair A gentle rocking sends a gentlo current of electricity through tho body of tho person In the chair. A more rapid rocking rock-ing increases tho strength of tho current, but no matter how violent the rocking tho current generated will not bo strong enough to cause any Injury. For thoso who need electrical treatment tho chair will be a boon, for tho treatment mav bo taken whllo reading or resting. Attached ' to tho dynamo Is a covered wlro ending ln a cylinder, which may bo taken out and used to send a current through tho faco or any portion of tho body which needs special treatment. Tho inventors bollevo they can manufacture manufac-ture tho chair at llttlo mcic cost than an .ordinary rocker and they expect soon to I put It on tho market. |
