IMPROVEMENT IN BEDSTEADS.
Specification forming part of Lettersy Patent No. 115,836, dated .Tune 13, 1871.
.ence being had to the accompanying drawing forming part of this specication, in Which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of abedstead illustrative of the said improvement. Fig. 2 is an enlarged View of the slit and folded end of an end rail, and Fig. 3 is an enlarged view of the split and folded end of a side rail.
This invention consists inthe construction of an angle-iron bedstead, which construction I will explain that others skilled in the art may be able to -make and use it.
The bedstead is composed of two side rails, a a, two end rails, b b, and four corner-posts, o c c c, all made ofangle-iron. The ends of the side rails a aJ are split along the angle, and the part e is turned or bent down at right angles to the length ofthe rail, and bolted or riveted to the end flange of the post c. The other part f of the split is cut off so as to end in the angle, and is bolted to the side flange ofthe post. Ilhe end rails b b are split in the same Way, and in them the-post g turns down and is riveted to the side flange oi' the post o, and the end h is turned inward and riveted to the side ila-nge of the post, the rivet pressing through the end f of the side rail al. This makes a very strong and secure fastening. A bolt also passes through the upper flange of the side railV and the end flange of the post.
This invention is not limitedtothe arrangement of the split ends described, for they may, with equal ease, be arranged somewhatdifferently and make an equally good fastening.
The slats t' i are thin steel strips, made to bulge or curve slightly upward, so that they may perform the functions of springs. er They have slotted ends z" if, and are secured at one end by screws l, and at the other by T-headed rivets le. The slots i v3 allow room for the lengthening or springing of the spring-slats when pressed down by Weight. These fastenings for the slats are not screwed down so tight as to interfere with the Working of the spring-slats.
When it is desired to remove a slat, the screw lis taken out and the slat is swung around until the T-head 7c is disengaged through the slot i, or viceversa.
Having thus described the said improvement, What I claim therein, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
l. A bedsteadirame, consisting of side and end rails and posts of an gle-iron, substantially -as described.
