MATTRESS.
applicati@ `:nea April 7,
To all whom t may concern.'
Beit known that; LPATRIOK GARDNER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Mattress, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to a new and improved mattress construction whereby a simple compact mattress is capable of enduring excessive and hard wear for a much longer period of time than is usually the case.
An Object of the invention is to provide a mattressl made up of a plurality of sections which are, in a very simple and efficient manner, completely interchangeable, whereby the supporting surface of the mattress may be very readily and simply changed so that the entire surface ofthe mattress is uniformly worn out and, thus, the life of the mattress is very greatly increased.
Another object resides in the particular construction and arrangement of parts which are hereinafter' described and shown in the accompanying drawings.
The invention is illustrated in the drawings, of which- Figure l is a perspective view of the mattress in its assembled form, ready for use;
Fig. 2 is a side view of a portion of the mattress adjacent the abutting ends of the two sections; and
Fig. 3 is a plan view of one of the sections.
As shown in the drawings, the preferred embodiment of my invention comprises a mattress made up of three sections A, B and C. Each of these sections is of any desired thickness and made in the 'usual manner of quilted, stuffed material. Each section is of any desired dimensions but 1s preferably square. It might be stated that the ordiw nary mattress is about siX and One-half feet long by four and one-half feet w1de. I n my mattress each of the sections is approximately four and one-half feet square. rl`he complete mattress when assembled comprises the three sections above mentioned. The section A and the section C are placed one above the other. The section B is bent in half as shown, opposite ends of this section being connected to adjacent endsA Of the sections A and C.
Each of the upper and lower edges of each section is provided with a plurality of Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented oct. 11, 1921. 1921. Serial No. 459,431.
fia-ps or cords of material suitable to tie with similar cords on the adjacent edges of the other sections, whereby these sections may be held together. As shown in Figs. l and 2, the sections are tied together along their inner abutting edges so that the knots which may be formed in tying the fiaps together are not present on the supporting surfaces to interfere with the comfort of the person lying thereon. These fiaps are represented by the numerals l and 2. In Fig. 2, these flaps have been tied into a knot such as along the lower or abutting edges of adjacent sections such as A and B.
-After the mattress has been used for a given length of time in the form as shown in Fig. l, it is possible, in accordance with the dimensions of the sections, to interchange the section A for the section B, or the section C for the section B, whereby a fresh, unworn surface is presented for wear. Moreover, the section A can be turned upside down or can be moved in a horizontal plane, so that instead of its edge 4 being adjacentan edge of section B, another edge such as 5 may be presented adjacent the section B.
Section B is preferably folded and ar ranged to be placed at the head of the bed. Cf course, this folded formation can be made with this part at the foot, if desired.
It will be apparent that since each edge of each section is provided with tying strips, such as l and 2, when the sections are as sembled in the relative positions shown in Fig. l these sections may be tied together as one complete unit, so that the mattress can be handled and moved about as a onepiece mattress.
Vith regard4 to the number of changes made possible by the interchanging of these sections in the various positions, it will be observed that each square section has eight edges, any one of which may be presented adjacent one edge Of the next section. Considering that there are three sections, it will be seen, therefore, that twenty-four different combinations or relative positions are possible, making this mattress one which can be arranged to subject the entire surface uniformly to wear and which will last a very great length of time due to the complete and uniform wear to which it is subjected by the 'interchangeability of its parts.
A further novel point of the invention is that by being made of three equal parts, each part being easily handled, it can be packed away and shipped in a box 4% it) long by 15 inches high by 27 inches Wide. Each section is approximately thick. 1n packing away a single-piece, u1l-4 sizedy mattress, a box of these dimensions could not possibly be used.
What I claim is: i
1. A mattress comprising three square sec tions, two of said sections'being placedV one above the other, the third section being bent 2% inches thick, so that the Whole mattress is approximately 5 inches 't in half, and means for connecting the ends of the bent section and the adjacent ends of theupper nand lower sections.
`2. A mattress comprising three square sections, two of said sections being placed one above the other, the third section being bent in half,and a plurality of iaps on each edge of each section adapted to connect the adjacent edges as desired.
i PATRICK GARDNER.
