M. LIPPS BED CONSTRUCTIOR j Filed 001;. 4,- 1921 Patented June 30, 1925.
UNITED STATES MORRIS LIPPS, OF NEW YORK, N. Y,
BED CONSTRUCTION. 1 3
Application filed October' l, 1921.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Monnrs LIPPs, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Bed Construction, of which the following is a specification.
he objects of this invention are to simplify and reduce the cost of beds and also to make them lighter in weight and more easily transportable.
One feature of the invention is the elimination of the usual side rails connectin the head and foot boards and the utilization of the bed spring frame as a means for connecting the head and foot and maintaining the same supported in upright position.
In the accompanying drawing I have illustrated a practical embodiment of the invention which it will be understood is susceptible of modification without departure from the broad spirit and scope of the invention.
Figure 1 in this drawing is a broken perspective view of an embodiment of the complete invent-ion.
Figures 2 and 3 are detached detail views of the bracket fastenings by which the parts are connected together and Figure 4 is a view of a detail.
In the illustration 5 and 6 designate the head and foot boards of the bed, of any usual or preferred construction and having ordinarily suitable corner posts such as I have indicated at 7.
The bed spring is made up of a suitable link or other bed fabric connected by springs 8 with head and foot rails 9, 10. These head and foot rails are secured to corner brackets 11 which are connected in longitudinally spaced relation by the side bars 12. This bed spring frame is made sufliciently rigid and strong to form a connecting means between the head and foot of the bed.
In the illustration these connections are effected by providing brackets 13 on the corner posts having outwardly struck and upturned integral lugs 14 forming hooks to enter in openings 15 provided on the corner brackets of the bed spring frame. The hooks and receiving openings of each pair are preferably superposed in vertical alinement as shown, so as to rigidly brace the connected parts.
' Additional rigidity and bracing are ob- Serial No. 505,268.
tained by making the corner brackets in the form of angle pieces as shown in Figure 3, and by slotting the inwardly extending side flanges 16 of these brackets, as indicated at17, to receive the dependent flanges 18 of the head and foot rails 9 and 10 which also, it will be noted, are preferably. made in angle iron form. With this construction it will be seen that the dependent flanges of the head and footrails seat in these slots and that the top flanges of these rails rest on top of the inwardly projecting flanges 16 of the corner brackets. As shown in Figure 4 the upturned ends of lugs 14 engage the vertical flanges 18 of rails '9 and 10 forming a secure engagement.
A further bracing effect is obtained by connecting the lower or intermediate portions of the corner brackets by cross braces 19 seating in slots 20 in the side flanges 16 of the corner brackets. The longitudinal side bars 12 may be secured to the lower portions of these corner brackets as by rivets or other suitable fastenings 21.
The bed spring frame thus constructed is particularly rigid and strong and has ample strength to form the sole connecting means between the head and foot of the bed, as well as to brace and support these parts in their upright spaced relation.
Also, it will be seen that the bed can be readily taken down by simply lifting the corner brackets of the frame upward and free of the supporting hooks on the corner posts. Thus separated, the bed consists only of the threeparts mentioned; that is, the head and foot boards and the bed spring, which makes the handling and transportation of the bed an easy matter. The struc-' ture as a whole also is lighter and this without sacrificing any material or necessary strength.
lVhat I claim is:
1. A bed spring frame comprising angle iron head and foot rails for carrying a fabric bottom, upright angle brackets having cross braces for connecting the same together, said brackets having inwardly eX- tending side flanges at right angles to the cross braces, a slot in the upper ends of said side flanges for receiving one of the flanges of the head and foot rails with the other flange of said head and foot rails resting on the top of said side flanges, the ends of the head and foot rails extending outwardly to alignment with the outer vertical edges of the upright angle brackets, the other flange of each of the brackets having openings, side bars connecting the brackets, and head and foot boards having brackets on their corner posts provided with lugs to detachably fit into the openings in the first mentioned brackets to secure the bed spring frame to the head and foot boards.
2. A bed spring frame comprising angle iron head and foot rails for carrying a fabric bottom, upright angle brackets having cross braces for connecting the same to-, gether, said brackets having inwardly extending side flanges at right angles to the cross braces, a slot in the upper ends of said side flanges for receiving one of the flanges of the head and foot rails with the other flange of said head and foot rails resting on the top of said side flanges, the ends of'the head and foot rails extending outwardly to alignment with the outer vertical edges of the upright angle brackets, the other flange of each of the brackets having openings, side bars connecting the brackets, and head and foot boards having brackets on their corner posts provided with lugs to detachably fit into the openings in.
the first mentioned brackets and hook over the lower edge of the vertical flange of the head and foot rails to secure the bed spring frame to the head and foot boards.
In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
MORRIS LIPPS.
