To all lwhom 'it may concern Be it known that I, CHARLES BRADA, of New York city, county and State of New York, have invented certain Improvements in Bu rea-u-Bedsteads, of which the following is a specification The object of my invention is to construct a exible bed-mattress, and a movable headrest and foot-rest, which form a very elastic and comfortable bedstead, and which can be drawn out when required for use as a bed, and closed up within the compass of a bureau when not in use.
My invention consists in constructing abedstead in the form of a bureau, which can be opened in front, but has a xed back and bottom. The top or cover is hinged to the back, and can be raised or lowered at pleasure. The upper portion of the front is hinged to the cover. The ends oi' two flexible mattresssupports are fastened to a horizontal axle journaled in the center of the sides. The other ends of these supports are fastened to the footarest of the hed, which forms the lower portion ot the front. These flexible supports are formed of a number of links pivoted together at the ends, and so arranged that they may he easily wound around the axle. Between these supports are fastened, at equal distances apart, a number of crossbars. To the outer ends and tops of these cross-bars spiral springs are attached. Resting on the top of these springs, and fastened thereto, are a number of slats corresponding in numherwith the cross-hars. On the top of these slats a double canvas or ticking is stretched, which serves as a platform for the bedding. When the bed is drawn out for use, this double canvas is fastened by a hook and eye to the foot-rest. A head-rest is hinged to the bach near the top, one end of which rests on the canvas when the'bed is in use. To close the bedstead, the mattress is wound around the axle by means ofthe handle, until the foot-rest is brought into place, and the top part of the front is then let down and fastened to the foot-rest, the two part-s forming the front, and closing the bedstead up in the form ot' a bureau.
, In order more fully to describe my invention, I refer to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification.
Figure I is a longitudinal sectional View, embodying my invention when placed in position for use as abcd. Fig. II is a front View of the same closed. Fig. lII is a transverse vertical section.
A is the back; B B, the sides; G, the bottom; D, the top, hinged at e e to A. E is the top part of the front, hinged at f f to D. F is the axle, having journals g g. h is the crank. I I are supports formed of the links j j, hinged to F at k, and tothe foot-rest L at m m. u n are hooks holding the foot-rest in a vert-ical position. vO O are the cross-bars; P P, the spiral springs, and Q Q the slats. It is the lower canvas, fastened to these slats, and S the upper. U is the head-rest, hinged to A at c. NV is the fastening for the upper and lower parts of the front when closed.
Having thus fully described 1n y invention, I claim- The axle F, flexible supports I I, cross-hars O O, springs P P, slats Q, and canvas R S, in combination with the sides B B, head-rest U, lid I) E, and foot-rest L, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
