FOLDING COT-BED.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept. 15, 1914.
strength which supports form the principal legs of the bed both when in use and when stored away. These supports, being practically in the center of the bed where the strain is greatest, increase its durability. The central supports'are further provided with narrow cross braces whereby additional strength is added to the structure. The braces are narrow because the supports are very narrow, the folded bed occupying only a few inches'in length while the width of the bed remains normal.
There are means in connection with the.
bed frame parts for forming outside legs and means for imparting elasticity to the canvas or woven wire spring. lVhen folded the portable bed need not be leaned against a wall because it rests on the four legs of the two supports. Between the frame parts bedding, pillows and the like may be stored during day time. In addition to these main objects care has been taken to produce a neat and desirable but durable article of relatively little cost, all as will be fully described hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
Flgure 1 represents the portable folding cot bed in side elevation unfolded and in dotted lines in the folded condition. Fig. 2 illustrates the central and head part of the folding bed in top plan view, on an enlarged scale. Fig. 3 is a cross section on line 3-3 of Fig. '2.
' Similar characters of reference denote like parts in all the figures.
On the drawing a, a represent the two central supports. Each support forms two downward legs 6, 6 provided at the bottom with rollers c, 0 The top portion of each support has screwed thereto a rectangular side brace 03. Cross braces e, 6 connect the two supports as shown in Fig. 2. To the rectangular braces d the frame is pivot'ally.
one end to the leg 7c and with its other end to the leg 6 of the central support. Each rear end portion of the frame 9 is likewise provided with a movable le n and a movable brace 0. The braces 0 0 course are connected each with the inner end to a leg 6 of the central support. The lower portions of the legs is are connected by a rod 2) and the lower portions of the legs 71. are connected by a similar rod 30 These rods lodge in the incisions p 3 of the braces m, 0 when the frame is olded. This insures a hold of one folded frame in position when the other is folded. A top brace 9 further tends to hold the folded frames securely. A rod in anincision likewise holds one frame part in position when the other is pressed down during the opening of the bed. VJ hen folding the bed the legs in, n and the braces m, 0 are close to the frame as shown in Fig. 1. To strengthen the central support especially in the closed position, two rods 1*, 8 pass through the lower portions of the legs 6, b
Underneath the'rectangular cross brace 03 devices are provided to impart spring action or a cushion effect to the canvas or woven wire spring .2. Such device is shown in Fig. 3 and comprises a hollow bottom part 25 secured to the brace (Z by a rivet u and a bolt c which passes through the top of the angular brace (I and through the cross brace e in a downward direction into the hollow part t. A helical spring 20 is provided on said bolt resting with its bottom end on the hollow part I? while its top end bears against the cross brace c. \Vhen someone lies down the springs w are depressed, and when arising the springs expand.
1he rear frame part 9 has in each long side an incision 0: A pillow frame 3 is pivotally secured to the frame part 9 and rests on a slantingly cut portion of said part g at either side as shown at 3 The pillow frame y extends beyond the frame part 9 at a desirable distance as shown in Fig. 2, so that this convenience for resting the head a little higher in fact tends to shorten the whole device when in the folded condition. As shown on the drawing the pillow frame y is turned over to rest on the inner side of the frame part 9 and thus is entirely out of the way when the bed has been folded.
The canvas or wire spring 2 is best mounted on a light separate frame and may be providedwith springs 2 at its sides as shown in Fig. 2. The canvas frame may be foldable and in case a wire spring is used the same may be rolled. The springs 2 may be provided with downward hooks at their outer ends so as to secure either'a canvas or a wire spring in the top portions of the frame parts f, g. If the canvas is solely provided with the springs it may be easily folded. The books of the springs 2 permit of an easy insertion and removal of the canvas or wire spring. As shown in Fig. l, bedding pillows and the canvas may be stored between the closed frame parts f, g
- when the bed is folded.
I claim as my invention:
1. A portable cot bed adapted to be folded into a very narrow space comprising two narrow central side supports forming each two rigid legs, a rectangular brace secured to the top portion of each support, a pair of cross braces underneath the rectangular braces, means in connection with'the rectangular braces and cross braces to impart a cushion effect, and folding bed frames connected at each side of the rectangular braces.
2. A portable cot bed adapted to be folded into a very narrow space comprising two narrow central side supports forming each two rigid legs, a rectangular brace-secured to the top portion of each support, a pair of cross braces underneath the rectangular braces, bolts passing through the rectangular braces and cross braces, stationary supports below for said bolts, and springs on said bolts bearing against the cross braces, and folding bed frames connected at each side of the rectangular braces.
3. A portable cot bed adapted to be folded into a very narrow space comprising two narrow central side supports forming each two rigid legs, a rectangular brace secured to the top portion of each support, a pair of cross braces underneath the rectangular braces, bolts passing through the rectangular braces and cross braces, stationary supports below for said bolts, and springs on said bolts bearing against the cross braces, folding bed frames connected. at each side of the rectangular braces, and means for supporting the bed frames when open and locking them when folded.
