IMPROVEMENT IN EXTENSION SETTEES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 138,842, dated May 13, 1873; application filed April 5, 1873.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CORNELIUS BEATTY, of Elizabeth, in the county of Union and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Extension Settees, of which the following is a specification:
The object of this invention is to so construct settees or lounges that they may be readily converted into beds for sleeping purposes 5 and it consists in the Inode of extending the settee and in the manner of folding up the extension portion, and in the arrangement and combination of parts hereinafter more fully set forth and described.
In the accompanying drawing, Figure l, Sheet l, is a top or plan View of the settee eX- tended. Fig. 2, Sheet 2, is a side elevation of the same, giving an edge View of the folding mattress which is used for the bed when the settee is extended, as seen. Fig. 3 is an end view of the settee as when folded up. Fig. 4. is a top view of the same, partly in section.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre# sponding parts.
A represents the frame of the settee B, the back; C, the cover or seat; D, the legs. The cover or seat is hinged to the back, as seen at E, Fig. 3. The cover and back may be combined with cane lattice-work, or made in any style desired. Beneath the seat D is a recess, F, which may be inclosed with wood-work so as to form a tight chest, or by iron straps G for securing the mattress or other articles. The parts so far described do not relate to the extension part ofthe settee. This part of the settee consists of two side pieces H H, each consisting of three sections, I, J, and K, and hinged to the front corners of the settee, as seen at L L. M represents the slats, which are dovetailed into the sides, as seen, for holding the sides together. N are legs attached to the different sections of the sides H H for supporting the sides at a height uniform with the settee-frame, as seen in Fig. 1. .O represents hooks attached to the sides H H, which hook into staples in the end legs, and act as braces to keep the extension. steady. f
When the extension is folded up, as seen in Figs. 3 and 4, the sides H H are turned back on the hinges L L, so that the sections I I are brought in contact with the ends of the settee-frame. They then turn on the hinges P P at the back corners of the settee, but the sections K K are turned and closed in against the sections J J, which latter are brought parallel with the back ofthe settee, and are fastened together by means of the hook Q, as seen in Fig. 4.
R is the mattress. This mattress is made so as to be folded up, and is stored away in the recess beneath the seat, where sheets and other bedding may be kept ready for use.
The settee may be made for either a double or single bed, and may be finished in any style.
The extension part is very simple, cheap, and durable, and for steamers and hotels and for families where it may be necessary to economize room it will be found a convenient and valuable piece of furniture.
l do not claim, broadly, an extension settee, as I am aware that they have been made before; but I am not aware that the extension portion of a settee has heretofore been arranged in the manner described.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patentl. A settee with sectional extension side pieces hinged thereto and provided with legs, the same being so constructed and arranged as to be folded back around the settee and fastened together, as shown and described.
2. In combination with the sectional side pieces H H the brace-hooks O 0 and Q and the dovetail slats M, as shown and described.
- CORNELIUS BEATTY.
