JOHN AIBEEL, JR-., OF JERSEY CITY, NEW JERSEY, ASSIGNOR TO THE SENG COMPANY, 7
OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, A CORPORATION OF ELLINOIS.
METAL BED.
Application filed October 16, 1921. Serial No. 506,680. 7
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN'ABEL, Jr., a citizen of the United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Metal Beds. of which the following is a specitication.
This invention relates particularly to the tubular bed ends of a metal bed, and the invention comprises. means for holding fastening plates in place, or bolts in a position protruding from the inside through the wall of the tubing whether there are any A further object of the invention is to use the bolts for attaching a protecting bracket to the bed end while it is passing through various manufacturing processes, painting,
and the like.
in the accompanying drawing, Fig. 1 is a view partly in section illustrating a part of a bed end to which this invention is applied; Fig. 2 is a perspective of one of the bolt holding clips; Fig. 3 is a sectional view showing the parts in position: Fig. t is a cross section of the same construction; Fig. 5 illustrates the use of the protecting bracket; and Fig. 6 illustrates a bent wire bolt holding clip.
In a tubular end 1 it frequently happens that the lower cross bar 2 is disposed below the point of attachment of a corner lock 3 to which a side rail 4 and a cross rail 5 are attached. This corner lock 3 is attached to the tubular member bv means of fastening bolts 6 which are inserted through the side of the tubular member and through a back plate 7 on the inside of the tubing. If the extremity 8 which proiects within the tubular member 1 is below the corner lock, it is impractical if not impossible to insert the plate 7 and the bolts 6 from the lower or open end of the tube 1, and as the cross bar is in this position during the finishing processes, it is necessary to insert the plate 7 and the bolts 6 before the cross rod is in place.
The present invention relates particularly to a holding clip, as shown in Fig. 2 for retaining the bolt 6 and the plate 7 in the proper positions. This clip is preferably made of resilient metal with sides 9 sub stantially parallel joined by a concavely bent desired position, and as soon as the sides 1 are released they will spring outwardly in engagement with the inside of the tube 1, the rounded portion 10 hearing against the heads of the bolts and against the plate 7.
This will hold the bolts in the proper place .1
and prevent them from falling inwardly whether there are any fastening devices on the outer ends or not.
After the fastening bolts have been thus positioned by the retaining clips 9 any number of cross rods 2 may be inserted within the tubular member 1 below the retaining clip and there will be no danger of the bolts or back plates 7 becoming displaced.
In the manufacturing or finishing proc esses for bed ends of this kind, they are usually painted. enamelled. or otherwise finished so thatif piled closely together the ends of the bolt 6. would scratch the ad jaeent bed ends, thus damaging the finish. To prevent this, a guard 12 is attached to one or both of the bolts 6 by means of a nut 13 or any other suitable fastening device, and this guard extends to the opposite side of the tube 1 where it is engaged by the extremities of the bolt 6 of an adjacent bed end, as shown more clearly in Fig. 5, which. indicates a number of bed ends stacked closelytogether. When the finishing process is completed these guards are removed and corner looks or other fastening devices are attached inthe ordinary way to the bolts.
A bolt holding clip may also be fashioned out of spring wire, as shown byFig. 6; a piece of wire is doubled upon itself and bent at one end to form a resilient tongue 14 which bears against the inside of the tube 1 opposite the bolts, and is formed with substantially parallel portions 15 in which are opposite bends 16 for seating the bolt heads. The ends 17 may be bent to engage the lower extremity of the plate 7 if the tongue 14 is inserted first, thus limiting the inwardmovement of the clip, or if the bent ends 17 are inserted first they will engage over the top of the plate 7 preventing accidental displacement of the clip after it has once been placed in position.
I claim:
1. A bolt head engaging clip adapted to be inserted within a tubular member against the heads of bolts disposed Within the tubular member.
2. The combination with a tubular mem her and a bolt inserted through the wall thereof from the inside of the member, of a fastening clip inserted within the tubular member to prevent the inward movement of the bolt.
3. A spring clip for holding the heads of bolts in place Withinatubular member which comprises a portion adapted to engage over the head of the bolt and resilient sides to engage the inside of a tubular member in which it is inserted.
L. The combination with a tubular mem her and headed bolts inserted therethrough from the inside of the member, of a bolt ho1ding clip comprising means fitting over the heads of the bolts, and resilient means to engage an opposite portion of the interior of the tubular member.
5. The. comblnation With a tubular member, a headed bolt projecting therefrom from the interior of the member, a back plate also disposed within the tube under the bolt head, and resilient means insertable within the tube for engaging the bolt head and the plate to hold them in position with respect to the member.
(5. A bolt holding clip for the inside of a tubular member having a bolt head. engaging portion and resilient portions which may be sprung inwardly to insert it within the member but which Will spread outwardly when released and force the engaging portion toward the inner wall of the tubular member.
7. A resilient bolt holding clip for the inside of a tubular member, With substantial- 1y parallel spring sides and a connecting portion pressed by the sides toward the inner wall of the member to engage the head of a bolt inserted through a holein a tubular member from the inside thereof.
JOHN ABEL, Jiz.
