Application filed February 16, 1817, Serial No. 149,089. Renewed February 8, 1919. Serial No. 275,929.
7 '0 all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Hans C. Grimspx. a subject of the King of Denmark, residing at Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in. Combination Furniture, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to furniture and more particularly to the class of combination folding furniture.
The primary object of the invention s the provision of an article-of furniture which 18 so constructed as to combine a desk and a bed in such a manner, that they occupy a small amount of space in a room and at the same time an ornamental piece of furniture is produced.
Another object of the invention is the production of an article of furniture of the class described which is easily operated, strong, durable and simple in construction, but inexpensive to manufacture.
()ther objects and advantages of the invention will be readily apparent when the nature and construction of the same is better understood from a reading of the following description and claims, taken in connection with the accompanying drawing; of which;
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the article when the same is in a position to be used as a desk.
Fig. 2 is a vertical cross sectional view thereof.
Fig. 3 is a similar view, showing the same in a folded condition.
Fig. 4 is a similar view when the device is in a position to be used as a bed.
Fig. 5 is a horizontal sectional view taken on the line 55, of Fig. 3.
Referring to the drawings, the numeral 10, represents a frame of rectangular formation which is here shown as provided at its top with a horizontal shelf which supports a mirror 11, and two series of book shelves 12, arranged on either side of the mirror. Below the shelf is a space of rectangular formation which has pivotally mounted therein, a swinging box-like structure 13, divided transversely by a partition to provide compartments 14 and 15. The compartment 14, is adapted to contain a bed structure 16, which is of any well known construction. The remaining compartment 15, has secured to the. outer side walls approximately at the center thereof a strip 1 to which is hinged a desk member 18, the bottom portion of which is adapted to close the space. between the strip and the upper.
portion of the upper compartment 15, when the desk proper is nested within the upper portion of the. compartment. Hingedly secured to the lower portion of the side walls of the compartment 15, are a pair of doors 19, adapted to swing outwardly. The doors 19, are provided with the swinging supports 19, which are preferably hinged to the upper edges thereof and adapted to support the desk when the same is swung to the position shown in Fig. 2. The doors are each provided with a vertical row of drawers 20, which are adapted to slide parallel therewith whcn in open position as shown in Fig. 2. The desk 18, is preferably provided with an upper inclined panel 21, which is spaced from the lower panel by means of side and end strips. Hinged to the partition in vertical alinement with the upper rear edge of the desk member is a folding ledge 22, which is adapted to swing downwardly and be supported on the rear edge of the desk member in order to close the intervening space between the rear edge of the upper panel 21,-
.and the rear wall of the boxlike structure 13, said ledge serving also to lock the desk in open position.
Provided at either side of the space in the rectangular frame 13, is a series of superposed cabinets 23, which may be used to accommodate books or papers or a waste paper basket or stool.
In operation, when the device is used as a bed, the desk member and the supporting ledge therefor are swung into a folded position so as to lie within the compartment 15, of the box-like structure 13 and the doors 19, are likewise folded into the lower portion of said compartment, whereby the structure 13, as a whole, may be swung upon its pivot 24, to a horizontal position as shown in Fig. 4, so that the device may then he used as a bed.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings it is thought that the nature and operation of the invention will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art to which the inboxlike structure, a swinging desk member hinged thereto and adapted to he nested therein, a pair of doors hinged to the lower side thereof, means provided on the doors and adapted to eo-aet with the desk member to support the same in its open position, and a ledge hinged to the rear wall of the boxlike strneture and adapted to be swung downwardly to contact with the rear edge of the desk member.
2. An article of furniture comprising a boxlike structure, a strip arranged transversely thereof at its open side, a swinging desk memher hinged thereto, a pair of doors hinged to the lower side portions of the boxlike structure, means provided on the doors and adapted to eo-act with the desk member to support the same when swung to a horizontal position and a ledge hinged to the rear wall of the hoxlike strm-tnre and adapted to he swung downwardly to contact with the rear edge of the desk member.
In testimony whereof i, allix my signature.
