BEIDDING-ROLL.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Sept.11, 1917.
Application filed June 22, 1916. Serial No. 105,221.
T 0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, SHERMAN MILES, a citizen of the United States, residing at Washington, in the District of Columbia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bedding-Rolls, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to a bedding roll, and has particular application to a bedding roll for use in carrying the bedding and other equipment of a military officer or a sportsman.
In carrying out the present invention, it is my purpose to provide a device of the class described which may be used for the purpose of carrying bedding and other equipment of a military ofiicer or sportsman which may be rolled into a compact and c011- venient package so that thesame maybe carried about from place to place and, which, when unfolded, may be hung up on a tent pole or other support in such manner as to enable access to be had to the different compartments or boxes of the roll conveniently. 1
It is also my purpose to provide a bedding roll of the type described which may be used as a hammock when unfolded and wherein certain receptacles may be moved relatively to each other to form a head rest and foot rest for the occupant of the hammock.
Another object of my invention is the provision of a bedding roll which will be effectively reinforced so as to support the occupant when the roll is used as a hammock.
Still another and one of the most important objects of this invention consists in providing a device of the character previously described consisting essentially of a waterproof ground sheet which, when unfolded, may be laid on the ground for receiving blankets and other bedding in the manner customarily employed by army officers, sportsmen and campers, and which is so constructed that a stiff or rigid receptacle of light weight may be folded therein and protected by blankets or bedding contained in the bags which are so connected to the ground sheet as to be thrown out ofthe way when the device is unfolded and laid upon the ground for sleeping purposes.
With the above and other objects in view, the invention consists in the construction,
combination and arrangement of parts here inafter set forth in and falling within the scope of the claims.
In the accompanying drawings;
Figure 1 is a plan view of a bedding roll constructed in accordance with the present invention, the same being shown open.
Fig. 2 is an edge view of the same.
Fig. 3 is an end view showing thebedding roll folded.
Fig. 1 is a view similar to Fig. 1 showing the device arranged as a hammock.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the box, the cover being shown open.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, 1 designates a sheet of waterproof canvas or analogous material of suitable dimensions and preferably rectangular in outline. Stitched or otherwise secured to the inner side of the sheet of canvas 1 adjacent to one end thereof is a pocket flap 2 toward the adjacent end of the canvas and of a length less than the width of the canvas, while sewed to the canvas 1 at said end thereof is a reinforcing stick 3 formed of wood or any other material and of a length corresponding to the length of the pocket 2. 4 designates a bag having a closure flap 5 and this bag is mounted upon the inner side of the sheet of canvas 1 and extends across the latter. One edge of the bag 4, the edge facing the pocket 2, is sewed to the canvas as at 6, while the opposite edge of the bag is connected to the canvas by means of straps and buckles 7, the buckles being carried by the bag and the straps by the canvas. Also mounted upon the inner side of the sheet of canvas 1 and spaced apart from the other end thereof is a bag 8 provided with a closure flap 9 and having the edge facing the end of the canvas stitched to the canvas and the other edge fastened to the canvas by means of straps and buckles 11, thestraps beingcarried by the edge of the bag and'the bucklessecured to the canvas. Mounted in the pocket 2 and capable of removal therefrom is a box 12 provided with a hinged cover 13 and mounted in the hinged cover 13 is a detachable false cover 14 carrying toilet accessories or-other fittings.
In the present instance, a stick 16 is stitched to the end of the canvas 1 opposite from the stick 3 and this reinforcing stick 16 is of less length than the width of the canvas, While secured teens strips 3 and 16 ire tect the box. The end of are pairs of rings 17 respectively and secured to the respective rings 17 and the outer side of the canvas are outwardly diverging flexible strips 18 acting to reinforce the end portions of the canvas. I
Secured to the outer side of the canvas sheet 1 at the center of the bag 8 is a handle 19'and a strap 20 having one end equipped with a buckle 21 and the otherend portion formed with openings to receive the tongue of the buckle. i
In practice, when as shown in Fig.1, the rings 17 onthe strip 3 may support the roll by means of a cord running from one ringto another and passing over hooks on a tent pole or other sup port, thereby supporting the roll in an uprightposition so that access may be had to the box 12 and the bags 4 and 8. In the event of the bag 8 being too low, the upper edge of such bag may be disconnected from the canvas 1 and thelower edge of the 4: a so disco'nnected from the canvas 1 and thestraps on the bag 8 secured in the buckles on the lower edge of the bag 4, thereby suspending the bag 8 from the lower edge of When it desired to use the roll as a hammock, as shown in Fig. 4, the bagst and 8 areemptied and the lower and upper edges thereof respectively disconnected from the canvas and the bags swung to form a space to accommodate the occupant, the bag 4 forming a pillow rest and thebag 8 a foot rest. When the roll is used in the capacity of a hammock, the box 12 is remove'd froin thelpo'cket 2 so that the latter may be collapsed and the bag 4: swa -onto thesame.
To fold the roll, the poch'et 2 carrying the receptacle or boX 12is folded onto the bag 41 and the bag 8 folded ohto the box, thereby disposing the box between the bags to prothe canvas sheet beyond the bag 8 forms a flap and this flap is equipped with metal eyelets 21, any one of which is adapted to aline with a ring 22 secured to the outer side of the canvas sheet between thep'ocket 2 and'the bag a and through-the alining ring and eyelet is passed the shackle of a padlock 28. One end of the strap 20 is now passed through the vbuckle 21 in order to effectively hold the roll folded; and th'eroll may be carried from place to place by the handle 19.
, From the foregoing description taken i connection with the accompanying Idrawings,,it.-wil1 be seen that I have provided a bedding roll which vwill be found especially useful by soldiers in the army and whereby the bedding toilet accessories, and other equipment of the soldiers may be conven iently carried by the bags v8 and 4 and the receptacle or box 12. Furthermore, it will be seenthat when the roll is unfolded and suspended from a support, as in Fig 1, the bags and receptacle are readily accessible so the beddingroll is open that the contents thereof may be removed and replaced whenever desired, while, in caseof emergency, the bags may be emptied, the receptacle l-emox an'om the pocket, and the device used as a hammock. Another feature of my invention which may be here stated, is that the canvas sheet is securely reinforced at both ends so that the roll may bei sed as a hammock with safety.
WVhile I have herein shown and described the preferred form of my inventionby'way of illustration, I wish it to be understood that I do not limit or confine myself to the precise details of construction herein described and delineated, as modification and variation may be made within the scope of the claims and without departing from the spirit of the invention.
