JOHN J. BRAZNEIL, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI, ASSIG-NOR TO AMERICAN BED COMPANY, OF S'I. LOUIS, MISSOURI, A CORPORATION OF MISSOURI.
FOLDING BED.
Application filed August 9, 1924.
To all whom it may concern.'
Be it known that I, JOI-IN J. BRAZNELn, a citizen of the United States o f America, residing at the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri, United States of America, have invented a certain new and useful Folding Bed, of which the following is such a full, clear, and exact description as will enable anyone skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification.
My invention relates toa folding bed and particularly to that type of folding bed known as sofa beds or day beds.
The object of my invention is to produce a simple, rigid and strong folding b ed of the type named, to secure ease of manipulation and to provide ample storage space for the bedding when the device is in its folded position.
In the accompanying drawings, which illustrate so much of one formof folding bed as is necessary to illustrate my invention, Figure 1 is an end elevation; Figure 2 is a top plan view of one end; andv Figure 3 is an enlarged cross section showing the device in folded position.
In order to simplify the drawings I have omitted the ornamental end pieces usually applied to beds of this type as well as `the permanent textile covering for the spring fabric, necessary to enable the device to function as a sofa or couch, and also several braces which are not essential to the operation of the device.
Each of the end frames comprise a pair of uprights 5, preferably of angle iron, and upper and lower cross bars 6 and 7 respectively. The two end frames are connected by an angle bar 8 extending between the upper ends of one pair of uprights, and angle bar 9 extending between the lower ends of the other pair, and by a fiat bar 10 secured to the lower cross bar 7 at points intermediate their ends. Extending between the bars 8 and 10 are a number of metal straps 11, preferably curved at one end, as shown, and forming one part of the bottom of the receptacle for the bedding, the other part being formed, when the device is in folded position, by a section of the spring frame as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
Figures 1 and 2, preferably provided with Serial No. 731,174.
I-Iaving fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:
1. In a device of the class described, the combination with a pair of end frames, of a spring frame comprising three sections, the
2 outer sectionV being provided at its VOtite-r side with supporting legs and pivoted' at its inner side to the intermediate section,
the inner section being pvot-ally'conneeted to the end traine and to the intermediate section, whereby it is reversed when 1n folded position, and 'apair of links at. each.,Y end connectingthe intermediate section tot the end freine, said links bein-fg so propo-r1 tioned and positioned as to hold the intermediate section in horizontal position when the inner section -being piveted to the intere Y mediate section and Connected bya 'lin-k t0 the end` frame, a lin-k conneeting the 'inner side oft thee-intermediate section tothe end named link, and a tlrirdrlink conneeting the` outer side` of the intermediate seetion to the end traine, said third link'being lon-ger than said second named link.
3, In a device of' the class described, the
combination with a pair of end frames, of a spring frame eomprisilng three sections, the on-ter seotion being provided at its outer side with supportinglegs and pivotedat its inner side to the intermediate section, the in-y ner section being pvoted to the intermediate see-tien and connected by a link to the end frame, a link connecting the inner side of the interi'nediiate sect-ion to the end frame, said link being longer than the iirst named link, said second namedlink being provided VWith anefx'tensi'on toV Whiehis attachedA a spring to Vassist in' fold-ingk the bed, and. a third link connecting the outer side ,ofv the intermedi-ate section to the end frame, saidy third link being longer. than said second named link.V i Y Y Ina device othe el'ass described, the combinationwith apair-of end' trames,Y Off' a partial receptacle bottoni carriledl between said ranacs, and ai seetional? spring raine having link een-neetiion toA said end frames,
p ione section' oiifysaild Vslnfilng fraine Whenin f laine, said link hei-ng longer than the first 'felded position aligning withv saidf partial receptacle botten tofcoinp-lete the saine.
En testimony whereof, E have heneunto set rv hand thi-s-'theth day of August,
