WILLIAM H. MOREHOUSE, OF WASCO, OREGON.
HAMMOCK-SUPPORT.
SPECIFICATION forming part Of Letters Patent No. 711,579, dated October 21, 1902.
Application filed January 13, 1902. Serial No. 89,479. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. Morin- HOUSE, a citizen of the United States, residin at Wasco, in thecounty of Sherman and State of Oregon, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hammock-Supports; and I do declare the'following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as willenable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
The invention relates to a hammock-sup-' port, and more particularly to that class of inventions designed for supporting a hammock in position for use and capable of being folded into small compass for the purpose of storage or transportation.
The object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which shall be simple of construction, durablein use,comparatively inexpensive of production, and which may be readily adjusted to stretch the hammock to compensate for persons of different weights or for elevating it different distances above the ground.
With this and other objects in view the invention consists of certain. novel features of construction, combination, and arrangement of parts, which will be hereinafter'more fully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claim.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective View of my improved hammocksupport, showing a hammock in position for use. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the hammock-support folded into small compass. Fig. 3 is a plan view of one of the stretchers, and Fig. 4 is an elevation of one of the adjusting devices or hooks.
Referring to the drawings, 1 denotes the bed-frame, which consists of a longitudinal bar or sleeper 2 and cross-bars 3, secured to said longitudinal bar or sleeper near its ends by bolts 4 or any other suitable means. The cross-bars 3 are preferably provided with support-feet 5.
6 denotes. the stretchers, each of which consists of a rod 7, having fixed to its lower end a shaft 8, formed at its ends with trunnions 9, which are journaled in bracket eyes or staples 10, secured to the'cross-bars 3.
"11 denotes diagonal braces extending from the ends of the shaft 8 and connected at their outer ends with the rod 7. The extreme upper ends of the rod 7 are provided with hooks or other fastening devices 12, with which are connected the rings 13 at the ends of the hammock.
14 denotes an adjusting device, which in the present instance is shown in the form of a hook. To each endof the bar 2 is loosely secured one of these hooks, which is adapted to engage perforations 15, formed in the rod 7, and thereby retain the spreaders in desired adjustment. 'Asshown in Fig. I, should it be desired to give the hammock a greater stretch than illustrated the hooks are disengaged from the spreaders and the spreaders swung farther outwardly and the hooks then engaged with the outermost holes in the rod 7. If itis desired to allow the hammock to have a greater sag than that shown invFig. l, the spreaders are swung inwardly toward each other and the hooks engaged with the innermost holes in the rod 7. For purposes of storage or transportation the spreaders may be folded down into the position shown in Fig.2 and-will occupy but small space.
From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings,
theconstruction, mode of operation, and ad-- I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Pat-' out, is
In a hammock, the combination with a baseframe consisting of alongitudinal bar, crosspieces secured to the longitudinal bar and provided with eyes near'their ends, spreaders braces connecting said shafts with said bars, my hand in presence of two subscribing Witsaid rods being provided with longitudinal nesses. rows of perforations, and hooks carried at the outer ends of said longitudinal bar and adapt- WILLIAM MOREHOUSET ed to engage said perforations, substantially Witnesses: as set forth. H. TAYLOR,
In testimony whereof I have hereunto set W. M. BARNETT.
