Application -filed March 2, 1925. Serial No. 12,674.
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHANCY F. HEAT-ri, a citizen of the United States, residing at Grand Rapids, in the county of Kent and State of l/Iichigan, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bedclothes Supports, of which the followingis a specification.
My invention relates to .improvements in appliancesA for attaching to bedsteads for holding the bed clothes in place after the bed has been made up, and its objects are: first, to provide a means whereby'the vfoot end of the bed clothes may beheld so firmly in place that the danger of drawing the ends of the bedclot-hes upwardly on the bed is fully eliminated; second, to provide a means whereby the clothes supporting elements may be readily applied to, and as readily removed from the bed, and, third, to provide a means whereby the locking elements that are designed to hold the clothes in place, may be wholly contained in the attachment I have produced instead of being detached therefrom and attached, in an unsightly manner, and position on the bed posts.
I attain these objects by the mechanism and construction of parts shown inthe accompanying drawing, in which Fig. 1 is an elevation of a part of the foot posts and panel of a bedstead with my device, `in its simpler form, in place. Fig. 2 is an edge elevation of the sanie. Fig.. 3 is an edge elevation of one of my modified forms of supports with the clamping spring in place. Fig. 4 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 5 is an edge elevation of another form of supporting bracket with the clamping spring removed. Fig. 6 is a back elevation of the clamping blocks showing the relative positions of the two blocks. Fig. 7 is an end view of the clamping blocks and the l clamping spring showing the manner of clamping the ends of the bed clothes in place, and, Fig. 8 is a plan of the end rail of the bed showing the` manner of securing the clamping spring to the rail when used in its simple form.
Similar reference characters indicate similar parts throughout the several views.
In the accompanying drawing l represents the bed posts; 2 2 are the side rails of the bedstead, 3 is the end rail and 15 is the panel at the foot of the bed.
My invention, in its simpler form. con.-
sists of a spring ymetal supporting element 5#5 made into a U fori'ned spring, the lower end of the part 5 being secured to the end rail 3 ofthe bedstead,"by' means of a clamp, a, secured in any available lmanner,as by the use of screws CZ. From this point the part 5 extends upwardly considerablyV above the upper edge of the clamping block 4 and has a locking'element pivotally secured thereto, as at a, there being two ofth'ese spring supports at the foot ofthe bed, shown in Fig." l. The clamping block 4 is formed with an offset t' at the back,to provide a place for the reception of the auxiliary clamping block 7, thelatter being preferably provided with serrated metal plates'l for engaging, or beingengaged by the locking elements 6 to force the auxiliary block solidly upon the fold of the bed clothes 12`at the offset Y), as indicated in Fig. 2. The clamping block 4 is securely connected withthe part 5 of the clamping spring 5 5 by means of screws, as indicated at 0. To secure the bed clothes 12 in this clamping device I form a fold, as indicated at 12, in the end of the clothes, and pass the auxiliary block 7 between said folds, and pass the whole in the space between the vertical part of' the clamping block 4 and the surface of the clamping springs 5. It will be readily' understood that, with this construction, it is a simple matter to regulate the height of the supporting springs and blocks to'correspond with the height or thickness of the bed, by loosening the screws d so the part of the spring may be slid upwardly or downwardly, as desired, and again securing the clamping blocks 8 in place as before.
In Figs. 3, 4 and 5 I have shown modified forms of clamping sprine supports at 9 and 14. The former is designed to be secured to the wooden end rail of the spring, by passing the hook or loop 9 over the edge of the rail, indicated by the dotted lines c, and that shown in Fig. 5 is designed to be secured to the upper surface of the spiral spring bed bottom by hooking the loop 14 into the surface Work of said springs, indicated by the dotted lines f. In both instances the upright standard of this support is slotted, as at 1l, for the reception of a fastening bolt 10, by means of which the part 5 of the clamping spring is secured to the said upright, and can be adjusted upwardly or downwardly, as desired,
Returning to a description of the locking elements 6, the serrations 6 are designed 1o engage With the like sel-rations on the plate 13 to avert any possible danger of the auxiliary blocks becoming loosened and allowing the bed clothes to be drawn out of the clamp.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new in the art, is:
l. In a clamping device for holding bed clothes securely at the foot ot the bed, U formed clamping springs having a long arm and a shorter arm, a clamping block secured to the shorter arm and having an offset in the back side thereof, an auxiliary clamping block made to pass freely between the offset in the clamping block and the longer arms of the clamping springs, securing elements pivotally mounted upon the upper ends el the longer arms of the clamping springs in position to be made to engage the upper surface of the auxiliary clamping block and hold it firmly in place, and means for securing the clamping device at the foot oit the bed.
2. In combination with the elements covered in claim l, serrated plates secured to the upper edge of the auxiliary clamping block, and serrations formed upon the free ends of the securing elements in position to engage the serrations in the plates on the edge of the auxiliary clamping block and hold the block securely in place.
In combination with the elements corered in claim l, metal supporting brackets bent at right angles Ato ferm an upright arm and a horizontal arm, the horizontal arm being bent at the end to form a loop that may be hooked into the surface structure of a bed spring, and the upright arm having a slot therein for the reception and free movement of the bolt l() longitudinallyV thereof, and a bolt passed therethrough and through the shorter arm of the clamping spring for properly securing and adjusting said clamping springs.
4. In combination with the elements covered in claim l, serrated plates secured to the edge of the auxiliary block, the ends oli' the securing elements serrated to correspond with said plates, and brackets formed to engage with the clamping springs and ,se--
cure the same to the spring structure ot bed.
