NITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
EDGAR W. BASSICK, OF BRIDGEPORT, CONNECTICUT, ASSIGNOR TO THE M. B. SCHENK C0., OF MERIDEN, CONNECTICUT.
CASTER.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDGAR IV. BASSICK, citizen of the United States, and resident of Bridgeport, in the county of Fair-field and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Casters, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to casters which are provided with wheels, yoke and pintles and are adapted to be secured to hollow, tubular or square legs such as are used with metallic beds.
My invention relates particularly to a separate leg ornament not secured to the caster, but adapted to be associated therewith and sold in connection with a caster of the standard type. Legs having headings or ornaments cast thereon or driven upon them by force and thereby frictionally secured to the legs have been commonly used in the art. Casters having headings, or as they are sometimes termed, leg mounts, formed as a part of the caster have also been commonly used in the art. My invention therefore differs from these forms of casters and leg ornaments by having a leg ornament which is not secured thereto and may be sold with the caster but apart therefrom.
Figure 1 shows partly in vertical section one form of my invention secured to tubular legs. Fig. 2 shows an outside elevation thereof. Fig. 3 shows partly in vertical section another form of my invention adapted for square legs. Fig. 4 shows an outside clevation thereof, with parts broken away to show interior construction. Fig. 5 shows a section of the leg in Figs. 1 and 2 with the caster frame in plan view. Fig. 6 shows a similar section of the leg in Figs. 3 and 4.
In Fig. 1 is shown a wheel 1 in a yoke 2 which is secured to a pintle 3, adapted to be secured to the hollow leg 4 by means of the spring 5 and non-resilient centering frame 6. The spring 5 partly surrounds and engages the pintle at 7 passes through the apertures 8 in the frame 6, and extends upwardly and engages the leg at 9. After engaging the leg the spring arms are inclined inwardly at 10 to provide inclined faces for engaging the inner edge of the bottom of the leg when being inserted. The upper ends of the spring arms engage the frame 6, when the caster is withdrawn from the leg. The frame 6 is preferably secured to the pintle 3, so that the pintle may revolve therein. The
Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Apr. 2, 1912.
Serial No. 664,289.
lower ends of the frame 6 are preferably passed through a sup )orting disk 12, bent over and secured thereto. The siu'iporting disk 12, upon which the bottom of the leg t rests, is centered on the pintle at 7 so that the pintle can revolve therein.
The leg ornament 13 is prevented from dropping off by means of the extended edge of the disk 12, upon which the down turned portion 14 of the leg ornament 13 is resting. This down turned portion 14 is slitted to form downwardly extending spring arms adapted to grip the exterior of the leg and secure the leg ornament thereto and center it thereon. In this construction the leg ornament is not secured to the caster nor to any part of the same, nor is it centered thereon.
In Fig. 2 is shown the outside of the log 4; with the leg ornament 13 partly broken away showing the slotted portion 14 of the same. Below is the yoke 2 carrying the wheel 1. In Figs. 3 and 4 is shown a modification of this construction for a square leg. In this form the yoke 15 carrying the wheel 16 is mounted in the frame 17, which may be widened to loosely fit the interior of a square leg to prevent the supporting disk from turning, and properly register it. with respect to the bottom of the square leg. The frame 17 may be slightly narrower than the leg between the sides where the springs are acting. The frame does the centering and should very nearly till the square tubing in both directions. The same is true with respect to the round tubing. The ornament 18 is provided with down turned nonresilient or preferably resilient members or arms 19 frictionally engaging the sides of the leg preferably upon its exterior. The arms or members 19 may rest on the extended edges of the supporting disk 20 to prevent the ornaments from being pushed off.
I claim- 1. In a bed caster for a hollow metallic leg, a leg ornament having an apron or member adapted to cover portions of said leg, having down turned. friction members adapted to co-act with the exterior of the leg for securing purposes, said caster having a projecting member adapted to support said ornament and prevent its being pushed off from the bottom of said leg.
2. In a bed caster for a hollow metallic leg, a leg ornament having an apron or member adapted to cover portions of said caster, having doWn turned, friction members adapted to co-act With the exterior of the leg for securing purposes, said caster having a projecting member adapted to support said ornament and prevent its being pushed off from the bottom of said leg.
8. In a bed caster for a hollow metallic leg, a leg ornament having an apron or member adapted to cover portions of said leg and caster having down turned, friction members adapted to co-act With the exterior of the leg for securing purposes, said caster having a projecting member adapted to support said ornamentand prevent its being pushed off from the bottom of said leg.
4. In a bed caster for a hollow metallic leg, a leg ornament having an apron or member adapted to cover portions thereof, having down turned, friction members adapted to co-act With the exterior of the leg for securing purposes, said caster having a projecting member adapted to support said ornament and prevent its being pushed off from the bottom of said leg, said projecting member forming a part of a supporting disk of said caster.
Signed at Bridgeport, in the county of Fairfield and State of Connecticut this 28th day of September A. D. 1911.
