WILLIAM H. PRICE, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
BEDSflEAD-FASTENINGS.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 10,378, dated January 3, 1854.
To all whom! t may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. PRICE, of Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a new and Improved BedsteadFas tening; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and eXact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, making part of this specification, Figure 1 being a side elevation of one piece of the fastening; Fig. 2, a front elevation thereof; Fig. 3, a top view thereof; Fig. 4, bottom view of the other piece of the fastening; Fig. 5, side elevation thereof; Fig. 6, vertical'section of a portion of a bed-post and bedsill unitedv with the fastening in the line of Figs. 2, 3, 4, and 7, and Fig. 7 horizontal section of the same in the lines y y of Figs. l, 2, 5, and 6. Y
Like letters designate corresponding parts in all the figures.
The piece, Figs. 1, 2, and 3, which is attached to the bed-post, is composed of a flanch A, for attaching it tothe post, and
of a projecting portion B, which is of such a form as to produce a wedge-shaped socket on one side, wider at the top than at the bottom, and at its inner or shank side than at its open side, as seen in Figs. 1, and 3.
The flanch A, is provided with an oblong perpendicular slot, or aperture, a, fitting over a shallow mortise in the post, as in Figs. 6, and .7, for the purpose hereinafter stated. The other piece, Figs. 4, and 5, which is attached to the lbed-sill,iis composed of a flanch C, provided with screw* holes for attaching it to the sill, o-f a wedge projection D, which is wider at the top.
than at the bottom, and at its outer side than at its attached side, and of a tenon E, which is generally of the form and comparative dimensions, shown in Figs. 4, and 5. The wedge D, fits into the wedge-shaped socket in the projection B, so'that the ob- Witnesses lique edges of each come together and form an oblique or dovetail joint, as shown at b, Fig. 7 This serves to hold the'sillin its place; strengthen the fastening, the tenon. E, fits closely into the slot and mortise a, in the post-piece and post, whereby great strength I and firmness is obtained The edges of the wedge and socketV next to the'bedpost being vertical, while their other edges are wedge-shaped, cause thev sill to hug closely' tothe post; and the greater the pressure but to further secure and upon the bed, the tighter will be the fasj Having thusfully described my improved i bedstead fastening, I wish it to be understood that I do not claim the tenon and mortise, combined with the inclined plane,`
for fastening bedsteads, as I am aware such have been used before in various ways;` but What I .claim as my invention and desir to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The arrangement of the tenon, mortise and wedge, in such a manner that the wedge will begin to act before the'tenon is inserted in the mortise, and draw it gradually into Vsaid mortise, so asl to completely close it when. the fastening becomes firm, for the purpose of excluding vermin, and for other purposes herein set forth. Y
The above specification of my new and improved bedstead fasteningr signedby me this tenth day of September, 1853. l
