Collapsible bed.

The present invention relates to a bedstead which is collapsible that it takes up very little space during transport.

On the accompanying drawing is

Fig. Ι a diagram of the general arrangement;

Fig. 2 shows the bedside folded for transport;

Fig. 3 shows the bed half folded;

FIGS. 4 and 5 are front or respectively. Rear views of the hinge connector for the Longitudinal stiffeners;

Fig. 6 shows the bars for the mosquito nets.

A are the four vertical posts, made of tubes and connected in pairs by longitudinal stiffeners. In the pin α of this post A , the cross-connecting rods B are hung with their eyes C so that they can be removed immediately when the bed is to be taken apart. Each post has a base D. On the one hand, the longitudinal reinforcements E and E ^l and the cross braces J. The longitudinal reinforcements are connected to one another in the middle by the joint F to reinforce the posts. The rods E are attached to the posts at e , while the rods E ¹ are releasably attached to the upper part of the posts at e ^1. The connecting piece F forms a flat metal plate which is firmly connected to one of the rods, while the other are hinged to the pin f with their flattened ends. H are in the direction of the rods EE ¹ extending ribs on the plate F and serve as a stop for the flat ends of the rods E BEZW. E ¹ , in order to only allow folding in one direction and to stiffen the raised bed.

The cross stiffeners / can be hinged to the ends of the posts A at i and are connected by a hinge piece at the intersection point J ^{1 , the upper rods are again articulated at J 2} to allow them to be folded together. The articulated connections J ² are constructed in such a way that they can only give way in one direction, that is to say that they keep the bedside stiffened.

The hammock L is suspended from the crossbars B by the belt strips M. The belt strips or loops M have such a shape that they can be easily strapped onto the crossbars and, if the hammock is to serve as a stretcher, they can be comfortably grasped. To adjust the hammock correctly, the loop of the straps M can be made larger or smaller.

Fig. Ι shows the raised bed. In order to fold them it is only necessary to remove the hammock and the crossbars B; then one loosens the longitudinal stiffeners E ¹ from the upper pegs e ^{1 of} the post A, so that E ¹ lies next to E.

Claims (2)

This situation is shown in FIG. 3. The bed can now be folded up in the longitudinal direction, the posts and the longitudinal stiffeners come to lie parallel to each other because one of the rods E is firmly connected to the plate F. The upper bars J of the transverse stiffeners are now placed together around their pivot pins, so that the posts can also be moved closer in the transverse direction and brought into the position shown by FIG. As can be seen from this figure, the hammock is rolled up and strapped to the folded bed, so that the whole bed takes up very little space and can be easily transported. N are the bars for the mosquito nets, which bars are inserted into holes in the pegs α and are articulated at O and P so that they can be easily folded up. It is easy to see that the upper rods J can also be made without the joint piece J ² and can be releasably hooked directly to the post A , as can the upper rods of the longitudinal stiffeners E ¹ , and then simply detached from the post when the bed is dismantled to be able to. But the upper bars E ^{1 of} the longitudinal stiffeners can also be articulated at any point so that they no longer have to be detached from the posts when the bed is folded. However, the present arrangement appears to be more expedient. Patent-A ν Proverbs: ι. Collapsible bedstead, characterized in that two adjacent posts (A) are connected to each other by a rod consisting of four rods (EE ¹ or J) which, running in a diagonal direction between the posts, collide in the middle and that the rods (EE ¹ ) are pivoted to a plate (F) provided with stops (H) for the rods of the rod, the lower rods of each rod being rotatable and the upper rods either easily detachable or also rotatable with the posts in the latter case the upper rods are divided and provided with joints at the parts, for the purpose of stiffening the bed when the bed is set up, on the one hand, and enabling the bed to be folded up on the other. ^: 2. An embodiment of the collapsible bed identified under 1., in which the plate (F) is fixed to one of the rods of the linkage, while the others are rotatable about a pin (f) of the plate (F). 1 sheet of drawings.
