FOLDING CANOPY-SUPPORT.
Specification of Letters Patent.
. Patented Apr. 9 ,1918.
Application filed June 20, 1917. Serial No. 175,921.
To all whom 2'25 may concern:
Be it known that 1, WILLIAM W. EILAND, a citizen of the United States, residing at Fowler, in the county of Fresno and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in Folding Canopy-Supports, of which the following is a specification.
lhis invention pertains to an improved canopy-holder for supporting a canopy over a bed, cot, or the like. The purposes of the invention are to provide a support of the character described which may readily be attached to and detached from any ordinary article of furniture of the above mentioned class, and which may be dismembered for compact arrangement when not in use. It is also proposed to incorporate the features of lightness and strength, and to furnish improved devices for connecting the constituent parts of the support.
For purposes of illustration I have embodied the invention in the unique construction, combination, and arrangement of parts set forth in the specification and claims, and delineated in the drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the canopy as applied to a bed;
Fig. 2 is a top plan view;
Fig. 3 is a fragmentary view of the attaching clamp and adjacent portions of the support as attached to a bed; and
Fig. 4 illustrates in detail, the connecting joints of the parts of the support.
Fig. 5 is a detail in elevation showing the manner of mounting the cross bars on the uprights.
As depicted in the drawings, the canopy is applied to a bed and consists of a frame 1 for sustaining a cover 2 of cloth or other material suitable for protecting an occupant of the bed 3 from insects, sun, wind, rain, or other undesirable conditions, and normally maintained in position by cords or ropes at, extending longitudinally of the frame at a convenient height, preferably above the edges of the bed, and by transverse supporting rods 5, to which the cords 4: are terminally secured. For support of the rods 5, the inner end of each rod 5 is detachably socketed in a fitting 6 secured to the upper extremity of a standard 7 extending downwardly and having the lower end slidably inserted in a socket 8 provided with jaws 9 adapted for clampingly engaging the bedframe to sustain the canopy-frame 1. Suitable manually-operable means for tightening 23 provided in the lug ing the jaws are here shown as bolts 10 connecting the jaws 9 and provided with wingnuts 11. To resist inward strain on the standards 7, a spreader-bar 12 has each end detachably connected to a respective standard 7, and to further increase the rigidity of the frame 1, brace-rods 13 extending be tween each rod 5 and the bar 12, having one end inserted in a socket 1i attached toward the outer end of the particular rod 5, and the other end inserted in a socket 15 on a sleeve 15 embracing bar 12, which may conveniently be one-third the length of the bar 12 from the respective extremity. The spreader-bar 12 is preferably constructed in three sections 16, 17 and 18 detachably connected by the sleeves 15 which may be secured to the end sections. For connecting each end of the bar 12 to the respective standard 7 I prefer to use a cap 19, secured on the end of the bar 12 and formed with a slot 20 for receiving an upstanding lug 21 provided on the fitting 6; and having for retention of the lug in the slot, a slidably attached pin 22 adapted to engage an open- 21. To retain the rods 5 and 13 in the sockets 6 and 14 respectively, a pin 24 may be inserted in each rod for engagement with a suitably formed slot 25 provided in the socketto constitute a bayonet-joint; and for convenience in assembling and dismounting the frame, the sockets 14 are swingingly attached to the rods 5.
It is to be understood that the herein described embodiment of my invention is intended merely for purposes of illustration,
as I reserve the right to variation and mod1- Y fication within the spirit of the invention as indicated by the scope of the accompanying claims.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a frame for a canopy, a plurality of spaced uprights, rods extending transversely thereof at the upper ends of the uprights, a spreader bar formed in sections and extending at an angle to the transverse rods and the uprights, means for detachably connecting the spreader bar and uprights, and sleeves for detachably connecting the sections of the spreader bar.
2. In a frame for a canopy, a plurality of uprights and transverse bars mounted at the upper ends of said uprights, a spreader bar formed in sections nd extending between the transverse bars, sleeves connecting the sectlons of the spreader bLl -fln(l braces de tachably connected With the sleeves and with comprising Copies tending-between said elements and adapted to restrict relative movement of said elements, and means connected to an outer portion of'each frame element and a portion of said ri id means intermediatelv of said frame elements whereby relative movement In testimony whereof I alfiX my signature.
