Description

ARTHUR E. SPIEGEL, or SHELBYVILLE, INDIANA.
x BED-RAIL-ATTACHING DEVICE.
Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Aug. 6, 1918.
Application led November 15, 1917. Serial No. 202,096.
To all 'whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ARTHUR E. SPIEGEL, a cltlzen of the United States, residing at Shelbyville, in the county of Shelby and State of Indiana, have invented a new and useful Bed-Rail-Attaching Device, of which the following is a speciication.
It is the object of m invention to provide an attaching device or the attachment of angle iron slde rails wooden bed posts, whereby the side rail may be attached to the bed post with either side uppermost, and may be firmly locked in place when attached in either way. When the angle iron side rail has its angle side upward, it is in suitable osition for receiving bed slats or other similar spring supports; while when it has the angle side downward, it is in suitable position for supporting springs of the woven wire and similar types.
The accompanying drawing illustrates my invention. Figure 1 is a fragmentary perspective. view of an angle iron side rail equipped with my attaching device, and a fragment of a coperating bed post, with the angle of the side rail upward; and'` Fig. 2 is a similar view with the angle of the side rail downward.
The side rail 10 is an ordinary angle iron, which it is desired to attach to the bed post 11 either with the angle 12 of the angle iron upward as shown in Fig. 1 or downward as shown in Fig. 2. When the angle 12 is upward, the bottom arm of the angle iron forms a support for bed slats while the upright arm 'thereof serves to limit endwise movement of the bed slats. When the angle 12 is downward, springs of the woven wire type may readily be placed thereon, such springs ordinarily being provided with portions which overlap the edges of the side rails.
In order to provide for this reversible attachment, I provide at each end of the side rail 10 an attaching member 15, preferably made as a stamping from sheet metal. This attaching member has an attachin flange 16 by which it may be attached by rivets 17 to .This
the bed post 11.
to bed posts, especiallythe upright arm of the angle iron side rail 10. It also has a bearing plate 18, from the edge of which the flange 16 projects. bearing plate 18 projects across the end of the angle iron side rail 10, to provide a bearing for engaging the face 19 of It also has a vertical fin 20 which is parallel to the attaching flange 16 and the vertical arm of the angle iron side rail 10, and projects outward beyond the end of the side rail from the central portion and substantially along the medial line of the bearing plate 18. The fin 20 projects into a slot 21 in the face 19 of the bed post 11 when the side rail is associated with the bed post. A supporting pin 22 is mounted in the bed post 11 and extends across the slot 21. The fin 20 is provided with a flaring horizontal end slot 23, and with two oppositely obli ue slots 24 and 25 which communicate wit each other and with the slot 23 at the inner end of the latter.
When it is desired to associate the angle iron side rail 10 with the bedppost 11 so that the angle 1.2 is upward, such side rail is put in the position shown in Fig. 1 and the fin 20 is inserted into the slot 21, so that the slot 23 in the fin extends over the cross pin 22, and then the bar is pressed downward so that the oblique slot 24 receives such cross pin 22. The oblique edge .of the slot 24 draws the bearin plate 18 tightly against the face 19 of the 'ged post as the side rail is pushed downward, so as to produce a rigid connection between theside rall and the bed post. When it is deslred to attach the side rail to the bed post with the angle 12 downward, as shown in Fig. 2, the same Voperation is performed but with the side rail in the reverse position, so that the pin 22 coperates with the oblique slot 25 1nstead of'with the oblique slot 24.
I claim as my invention:
reversible attaching device for attaching angle iron side rails to bed posts, com-L prising a bearing platev extending across the end of the angleiron side rail, a iiange from said bearing plate attached to the s1de of said side rail, and a lin -projecting from sald 5 eating with said cross pin in the bed post, said device being l and two opposltely oblique slots communiend slot for receiving a an integral stamping of sheet metal.
ln Witness whereof ll, ARTHUR E. SPmeEL,
e Lemme have hereunto set my hand at Shelbyville, lndianne, one thousand nine hunred anal seventeen.
