Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Aug. 5, 19 13.
Application filed May 26, 1913". Serial No; 769,893;
To all 'ZU/LOWZ it may concern Be it known that I, Tnnononn H. SORLIEN, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Granite Falls, in the county of Yellow Medicine and State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Beds, of which the following is a specification.
My present invention is an improvementin that class of beds to be elevated or hoisted into an opening in the ceiling when not in use so that they will not occupy any of the floor space of the room in which they are located, and more particularly to an improvementupon the above character of bed as described and claimed in my copending application No. 7%,1'18 which was filed in the United States Patent Otlice on January 30, 1913, the object of my present improvements being to provide a false ceiling part which is adapted to occupy the opening in the ceiling when the bed is in use and to remain at that time in a position flush with the ceiling in order to conceal the opening.
In carrying out the above object, I employ the construction shown in the accompanying drawing, in which Figure l is a vertical section taken through a portion of a room within which my improved bed is mounted. Fig. '2 is a similar view taken therethrough substantially on the line 22 of' Fig. 1. Fig. 8 is a detail sectional view through one corner of the false ceiling part and illustrating one of the openings thereof through which the bed chains pass.
Referring now to these figures, a represents an opening formed in the ceiling A of a room, preferably adjacent to one wall A thereof, this opening a being adapted to receive the bed B therein. The bed B consists essentially of a frame, the lower surface of which I preferably decorate to conform to the decoration C of the room, and the specific structure of which is clearly described and shown in my application above referred to. It will suflice therefore, to state that this bed is provided adjacent one end with legs 6 adapted to be folded into the frame of the bed when the latter is raised within the ceiling opening, Fig. 1 showing the bed lowered in operative position and with the legs 6 extended. At its opposite end, the bed B is provided with .guide members 6 projecting longitudinally therefrom and slidably engaging and bearing on rigid uprights C, the latter being preferably secured at their lower ends in the floor of the room to rigidly Lip-stand along the side wall A and being provided adjacent their lower ends with rigid stops 0 spaced a distance above the floor corresponding to the length of the legs 6 of the bed. In this manner, both. ends of the bed will be rigidly supported in use.
Mounted within the ceiling A above its opening a are a pair of pulleys a and from these pulleys extend chains D and D, connected at one end to opposite ends of the bed B, the other ends of these chains extending over sprocket pulleys e mounted upon the horizontal driving shaft E which is journaled in the upper portion. of the side wall A and which receives its rotation through a vertical connecting shaft F and crank shaft G with connecting bevel gears f and g, the crank shaft Gr having a handle G adapted for detachable connection therewith. The last-n'ientiOned. ends of the chains D and D are connected to counterbalance weights H slidable vertically in the side wall A and due to this fact and the further fact that the connections for raising and lowering the bed B are in the form of chains engaged by sprocket pulleys 6 having recessed peripheries and receiving the links of the chain in such recesses, the bed will be effectively pre vented from slipping and consequently held against lowering movement at all times unless the connections are operated through the means described.
Referring now particularly to Figs. 1 and 3, I provide a false ceiling part J, of a size and shape to slidably fit within the ceiling openinga, this false ceiling part or plate J being suspended by means of chains or other connections of such a length as to permit the plate to extend, when the bed is lowered, to a position in which its lower surface will be flush with the lower surface of the ceiling whereby to close and conceal the ceiling opening when the bed is in operative posit-ion, the said lower surface of the said plate J being preferably decorated similarly to the lower surface of the bed frame in order to correspond with the decoration of the ceiling as before stated.
Inasmuch as the bed frame B moves upwardly into the ceiling opening a, the ceiling plate J will be carried upwardly within the opening upon the bed and it is necessary for the chains D and D to pass througlr the false ceiling plate. To this end, I provide the false ceiling plate J as particularly shown in Fig. 3, with openings and metal gromets j secured through these openings, the gromets being of slightly greater diameter than the bed chains and having their upper portions bent as indicated at j to inclose flexible washers 7' the apertures of which are substantially smaller than those of the gromets whereby to prevent the chains from coming into noisy contact with the latter.
The false ceiling part or plate J may be formed of any suitable material such as compo board and the like and the washers j may be formed of suitable material such for instance as leather.
Thus, from the foregoing, it will be seen that by the structure I have shown and described, the bed will not only be practically concealed when raised, but when the bed is lowered and in use, the ceiling will appear practically unbroken and its opening substantially concealed from view.
I claim:
1. In combination with the ceiling of a room having an opening therein, of pulleys mounted within the ceiling above the opening, flexible connections extending over the said pulleys, a bed suspended by said flexible connections, means engaging the said flexible connections for moving the bed vertically within and out of said ceiling opening, guides for the bed in its movement, and a false ceiling plate movable vertically in the ceiling opening and having connections for supporting the same in a position flush with the ceiling when the bed is lowered in operative position.
2. In combination with the ceiling of a room having an opening therein, of a bed movable vertically within and out of said ceiling opening, flexible connections extending through the ceiling opening for supporting the bed, means engaging the said flexible connections whereby to raise and lower the bed, a false ceiling part or plate fitted within the ceiling opening and having apertures through which the flexible bed connections extend and flexible connections for supporting the said ceiling plate and of such length as to hold the same in a posi tion flush with the surface of the ceiling when the bed is lowered therefrom.
3. In combination with the ceiling of a room having an opening therein, of a bed movable vertically within and out of said ceiling opening, flexible connections for raising and lowering the bed, a false ceiling part of plate within the ceiling opening and having apertures through which the said flexible bed connections extend, flexible connections supporting the said ceiling plate and of a length adapted to hold the same flush with the ceiling when the bed is lowered therefrom, gromets secured through the apertures of the ceiling plate whereby to protect the same, and flexible washers secured within the gromets and having apertures of less diameter than those of the gromets whereby to prevent contact between the flexible bed connections and the gromets, all for the purpose. described.
