UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.`
` GEORGE H..COTTAM, OF HAMPSTEAD ROAD, ENGLAND.
PORTABLE FOLDING CHAIR-BEDSTEAD.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 10,825, dated April 25, 1854.
To all whom it may concern Be itjknownthat I, Grnoncn` 'HALLEN Cor- TAM, of Charles street, Hampstead Road, in thecounty of Middlesex, England,` en-` gineer, a subject of the Queen of Great' Britain, have invented or discovered certain new and. useful Improvements in Chairs, Sofas, and Bedsteads; and I, the said GEORGE HALLEN COTTAM, do hereby declare that the nature of my said invention and the .manner of performing the same are fully described `and ascertained in and by the following` statement thereof, reference beinghad to the drawings hereunto annexed and to thetgures and letters marked thereon-that is to say, this invention consists of combining three frames, either stuiied or,` not, by hinges or joints, so that they fold together and form at one moment a chain` or sofa, one of the frames acting as the back and at other times a bedstead, the legs or bearers being connected by-movable joints to such frames, so that when required tobe packed the three frames come parallelto each other and the legs or other parts alsofold thereon, the arms or elbows acting by nearly a parallel movement; andinv order that my said invent-ion may be more fully understood and readily carried into eifect I will proceed to describe the means pursued by me.
j Description of thedrawz'nr/s, Plate Figures l and-.4, represent a chair const-ructed according to my invention and converted into a bedstead when expanded as shown at Figs. 2 and 5.
Fig. `3 is a folding squab suit-able for the same. The two sides A, A, are fixed together by means of the bars' 7e3-l, m, n, or they may be connected by other suitable parts, which connectthem at the back. The rod z' is riveted to the front legs to keep the side frames in their position. J, O, are the two bars which form the foundation for the seat. The frames B and C, which are united together by pin joints at a and o, on which they turn, form in the chair the seat and back.` E,E, are the arms which are attached by pin joints (as shown at c) to the back O, and they are united to the frame A, at a, a, by pin joints and by the curved pieces D which are connected to them by pin joints cl.
Figs. 2 and 5 show the chair extended so as to form the bedstead.` In this position the frames B and C Y (which form the back and seat ofthe chair) are made to move on their joints as shown by the lines in Fig. 2 and with the Jframe A constitute the frame work of the bedstead, the arms of the chair reversing in this movement as shown at `D and E. e e are two legs which lare attached i by pin joints to the frame C at z, lt, and' to each other by the rods f and g, (see Fig. 5,) and they Support the end of the frame C. The two sides of the frame workB,B and the curved piece C are strengthened by In'eans of the bars p, g, r, 8,whichact as stretchers to keep the frame apart andf are riveted through the sides of B andOand" on which are fixed the latching bars shown 1n igs.` 4 and 5 by the parts colored blue. Fig. 3 shows the mattress or squab stuffed with hair and made in three distinct divi-` sions, each part being adapted to the size of the` three frames A, B and C.
Fig. t is a perspective View ofthe chair showing how the end of the bedstead folds up against the back rods 7c, l, my, n. The legs` e, e, are here drawn as shut `or foldedV close against the frame work.
Fig. 5, represents a perspective view` of the bedstead as extended and ready foruse;Y with the legs e, e, brought out to SupportA the end. It will be evidentthat if this arrangement or combination were made wider,`
it would form a sofa and bedstead.
Description, of drawing, Plate [l-.Thisceding one by reason of the legs and head l board folding or shutting down nearly parallel with the sides. The legs instead of forming part of the frame in one piece as in the other chair are quite separate and arev attached to the frames as shown. The iron bars F, F, connected together by the round bars le, l, m, and n form the frame of the head. The legs are prevented from falling under when in use by the peculiar formation of the joints as shown in Figs. 7 and 8 which respectively represent the joints of the two legs on each side. F is the head piece attached to the frame A `at a as described. The part B of the frame work, and the part D of the arm, are connected at p. E is the arm of the chair, pin jointed to the frame C at c and to D, at al.
Fig. 2 shows the chair extended so as to form the bedstead. In passing into this position the frames B and C, which formed the back seat of the chair, are made to move at their joints as shown by the lines in Fig. 2 and now constitute the frame work of the bedstead; the arms of the chair reversing in 5., this movement as shown at D and F. e, e, Yare two legs which are connected to-gether by-the rods f and g. The part B on being lifted toward A releases t-he frontleg H. r, 1', r and s, s, s, 8 are thin plates of iron riveted to the frame work A, A and between 'which the parts F and B and the legs G, C
and H, H work into each other.
` Fig. 4 represents a perspective view of the cha'ir."The head pieces H, H are united by .means of the four bars 7c, Z, m, a against i which the end frame C, C of the bedstead comes to form the back. The front legs are connected together by means of the rods c and w and the hinder legs G, Cr are connected by the rods t, u.
Fig. l5 shows the bedstead extended in its shape as a bedstead with the legs e, e, brought down to support the end, and it may be remarked that when made wide the com- `bination becomes a sofa and bedstead as that the frames A, B, C are combined in such manner that the framesA, B fold to` gether to form the seat when the combination is in the form of a vchair or sofa, and the frame C becomes the back and is supported by the head board or frame or suitable stops and it will also be seen that the parts constituting the arms when t-he combination is in the form of chair or sofa are so arranged and combined with the frames A, B, C, that they pass below the frames when opened out into the form of a bedstead and in these particulars of combination the chairs, sofas, and .bedsteads above shown and described differ from those heretofore constructed.
Having thus described the nature of my invention and the manner of performing the same I would have it understood that I make no claim to the parts separately nor do I confine myself to the details as herein given provided the peculiar character my invention be retained but What I claim is- The mode herein described of constructing folding sofa orbedstead chairs,viz. of a combination of three frames A, B, C andjointed arms, as applied and made to operate together substantially as specified.
