FOLDABLE BED.
APPLICATION FILED MAY10,1919.

INVENTOR 61296 c"- rye/Mi ATTORNEY UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
James E. HARTMAN, or NEW YORK, 1v. Y.
FQLDABLE BED.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Ennis E. HARTMAN, a citizen of Hungary, residing at New York city, county and State of New York, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Foldable Beds,- of which the following is a full, clear, and exact descr1pt1on.
This invention relates to collapsible structures, particularly foldable beds, the object of my invention being to provide a bet for tourists, or other persons, that can be collapsed and packed in a trunk or stored away in a comparatively small space.
I will now proceed to describe the invention in detail, and in connection with the description thereof will refer to the accompanying drawing wherein Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved bed;
Fig. 2 is an end View thereof;
Figs. 3 and 4 are detail perspective views of the hinge connections employed;
Fig. 5 is a detail view of one of the posts; and
Fig. 6 is an end view of the bed when folded.
My improved bed consists of head-postmembers 7 and 8 which are somewhat longer than the foot-post-members 9 and interme diate post-members 10 and 11, there being but one foot post member and one of each of the intermediate post members illustrated. The mattress portion of the bed consists of an apron 12 secured to the postmembers at their upper ends. The head post members are made longer than the other post members to provide a head rest or pillow portion L3. The post-members are braced longitudinally of the bed by hinged braces 14, 15 and 16 and transversely of the bed by similar hinged braces 17, 18 and 19. The short braces 16 are connected to the longer braces 14 and 15, at 20, by means of a tongue and jaw connection illustrated in Fig. 3, through which a pin 21 passes. In like manner the short braces 19 are connected to the longer braces 17 and 18 by pins 22. One end of each brace 14, 15, 17 and 18 is connected to a post member by means of tongues 23 carried by said braces which engage brackets 24 carried by the post mem- Specification of Letters Patent.
Application filed. May 10, 1919. Serial No. 296,147.
bers and pivotally secured by pins 25. The object of the relatively short brace members 16 and 19 is to enable the structure to be collapsed within a small space, that is to say, to reduce the space between the posts to a minimum when the device is folded.
As can be seen in Figs. 5 and 6, I provide the posts with slots 26 into which the long braces will extend when the device is folded.
Vi hen the bed is not in use, the apron 12 can be folded into the space between the posts, as can be seen in Fig. 6. My improved structure is adapted to be collapsed longitudinally and transversely thereof.
I prefer to employ tubular post members on account of their comparative lightness. To retain the apron 12 in place, I provide the upper end of each post with a block 27 (preferably wood), into which screws 28 can be placed to hold the apron.
I do not limit myself to the particular style of pivotal connection, as other forms can be utilized.
Having described my invention, what I claim is 1. In a collapsible bed, a plurality of tubular post members having elongated openings in the wall thereof, folda-ble braces pivotally connected to said posts exteriorly of said openings consisting of a plurality of pivotally connected members, the center members being relatively short, the openings in said posts being arranged to receive the longer of said brace members when the structure is collapsed.
2. In a collapsible bed, plurality of tubular post members having elongated openings in the wall thereof, fold-able braces pivotally connected to said posts exteriorly of said openings consisting of a plurality of pivotally connected members, the openings in said posts being arranged to receive certain of said brace members when the structure is collapsed, wood blocks carried by the tubular posts at the upper end thereof, and an apron fastened to said wood blocks.
3. In a collapsible bed, a plurality of tubular post members having elongated openings in the wall thereof, brackets carried by said post members and located adjacent ranged to be Within the openings in said the lower end of said openings, foldable post when the bed is collapsed. 10 braces connecting said posts, pivotally sup- Signed at New York city, N. Y., this 8 ported at the free end thereof, uby said day of May, 1919.
brackets, said braces consisting of a plu- ELLES E. HARTMAN. rality of pivotally connected members, the lVitnessesz center member being relatively short, the EDUARD A. JARVIS,
longer members of said braces being ar- MAURICE BLOCK.
