, Laim Patent No. 107,499, ma September 2o, 1870.
IMPROVEMENT IN' LIFE-PRESERVING MATTRESSES.
The Schedule referred to in the-se Letters Patent and making part of the same.
I, J osHUA HUNT, of Providence, in the county of Providence and State of Rhode Island, have invented a Combined Mattress and Life-Preserver, of which the following is a specification.
Figure 1, perspective view as a mattress.
Figure 2, perspective view as a liFe-preserver.
My invention consists in making two elongated sacks or pockets, G C, which are filled with cork, either granulated, cut into shavings, or' Vin large, flat pieces, and with the edges thereof connected with an apron, A, so that, when the two sacks are folded together upon the apron, they will just he covered smoothly thereby, and make a mattress, and when opened they will buoy up a considerable weight when vplaced upon the apron between the cork-filled sacks.
Atione end we may attach a smaller sack, which serves the purpose of a holster, B, or when detached may be used as a lifepreser\-'er.
A A A are straps or bands attached to the surface of the' sacks, by which to seize hold of them when in the water.
As a mattress the sacks are made of any width, so
that they will fit into the racks of steamboat-s, or vessels of any kind, and are lled with cork, which 'is the .best known lling, on account of its great buoyancy,
and at the same time is a good llng for a mattress, especially when granulated or cut into shavings.
As allife-preserver, it is-unf'olded, and when in the water a person or any weight upon the apron A, within its power'of resistance, is kept afloat.
A single sack filled with cork would turn over when- Y desired.
' That I claim as my invention, and desire to secure .by Letters Patent, is-
The cork-filled sacks or pockets 'O O, united bythe apron A, whcucornbiued for a mattressl and a lifepreservcr, as above described.
. J OSHUA HUNT.
