ERNEST A. VIELDE, OF CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA.
BED DAVENPORT.
Application filedSeip'tember 10, 1924. Serial-1To."?38,-923.
This invention relates to that class of household furniture which by day serves as aseat or lounge for one or more ,persons, and may beconverted into a bed for use atnight.
The object of the invention is -to produce an improved bed da-venport adapted for easy and comfortable sitting when disposed as a sofa, and readily convertible into a comfortable bed, all the bedding being contained in the sofa.
A special object of the invention is to provide for easy and quick changing of the material covering the seat and back of the sofa when soiled, or when for any reason it is desired to make the change.
A further object :is to provide a cedar chest, in combination with the sofa, easily accessible, and adapted for protection of the contents against moths and dust.
'G-ther objects and advantages will appear in the specifications following, in which the device is fully described.
In the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, Fig. 1 is a front '25 View of the device embodying the invention,
as in sofa or davenport form.
Fig. 2 is a similar view of the same, arranged as a bed. v 3 is a ri ht end elevation of the bed.
Fig. dis a transverse sectional View, showing the disposition of the bedding preliminary to rolling. I r
F'g. 5 shows the same partially rolled.
Fig. "6 shows in sectional detail thecoma5 ple'ted roll and normal position of the back,
thesofa position beingrestored, as Fig. 1. The framework of the device is shownin a very simple, but practical form, comprising in the main a pair of ends 5 connected by longitudinal bars 6. In practice these bars are preferably tubular to admit longitudinal rods 7 passing through the endframes, and binding them firmly against the ends of the tubes by means of nuts 8. On
these tubes, which for convenience may be called side-bars (front-and back) is mounted a bed-spring 9, of a familiar type, shown conventionally. The bed-spring carries a mattress 10, extending from end to end and '50 side to side of the structure. To each endframe is pivoted by a bolt 11;, provided with a suitable handnut 12, a bracket '18 attached to a headboard 14a, which in normal osition lies horizontally on and spanning t e end- Secured to this head'- board at anangle is its apron 14%, which partially-encloses the roll of bedding when innormal position, as shown in Fig. 6. In order that this apron may fit neatly on said roll its lower edge is thinned at 14, as shown.
The covers for the seat, 15, and back, 16, are here shown as simple, rectangular sheets of 'fabric'secured by bolts 17 and a clamping bar 18 130 the --headboard. The longer and lower sheet has a long flat bar 19 set in a hem at the free edge. Thesheets are of the length of thesofa inside, but this bar extends at each end, and isp-rovided with a button or stud 20 at each end to engage a slotted plate 21 attached to the front post of each endframe, the plates being offset to admit the bar from below. In the corresponding hem of the shorter, upper cover is set a straight .pole or rod 22, preferably of wood, so as to be both light and stiff, as on this rod largely depends the straightness and smoothness of the roll, to be described presently.
To the rear side-bar is attached afflap '23, preferably of sheet metal, extending the length of the inside of the sofa, and hinged at :23 so as to be turned down flat on the mattress for protection when the sofa is in use, but turnable to an upright position when the bed is used.
Between the end-frames, and below the bed-spring is mounted a cedar chest-.24, pro vided with a suitable lid 25 and pulls 24 The ends of the chest are provided with guide-rails 26 to run in channels 27 (pref erably steel) set in the legs of, the endframes, This forms a convenient receptacle forarticles of apparel, and the like,,which need to" be protected from dust, and more particularly, from moths.
From a sofa or davenport the device is converted into a bed, as follows:
The clamping nuts 12 being loosened, the headboard is ftipped back, as shown in Figs. 3, 4 and "5. This action slackensthe stress on both the seat and back covers, and the slack in the former permits it to be unhooked from the slotted plates above referred to. The rolled up bedding is then unrolled, removed from the cover sheets, and they are thrown back over the headboard out of the way. The bed is then made in the usual way, and is ready for use.
'To shift from a bed 'to a davenport the action is of course reversed. The seat cover seat lengthwise of the back, and an upper swinging headboard pivotally attached to part hinged to the vertical part and adaptthe frame at each end, seat and back covered to foldforwardly, the two parts adapted ing sheets, a clamping bar, and bolts 10 to protect the seat at and near the back through the headboard, sheets and bar. 6 side. In testimony whereof I aifix my signature.
9. In a hed-davenport having a main frame and seatelement mounted thereon, a ERNEST A. VELDE.
