Application filed March 26, 1925. Serial No. 18,520.
The invention generally relates to beds and has for its primary object to provide a simple and practical bed larly adaptable for use by campers 5 ists and which, for that purpose,
structure particuand touris capable of being compacted into a relatively small bundle to facilitate its being conveniently d away when its use carried on trips or store is not desired.
the ground, which,
named manner and otherwise,
when. used in the last is ground .-proof, and in which moisture, rain and water provision is made the bed clothing for effectively clamping to its yintended position,
which feature also providesfor efficientuse 1n homes and hospitals where it is found ditlicult to keep children and to the covering of their properly confined beds.
delirious patients lVith the above and other objects in view that will hereinafter appear, the invention further resides in the novel details of construction, parts, all
combination and arrangement of of which will be first fully described, then be particularly pointed out in the appended claims,
the accompanying drawings, I
perspective view of the Figure 1 is a detail invention.
reference being had to Figure 2 is a somewhat diagrammatic cross section of the invention with the constituent parts thereof shown partially separated for purposes ofclear illustration.
Figure 3 is a detail perspective view illustrating the clamping sides and end pieces;
Figure'a is a detail perspective view of one of the clamping bolts.
Figure 5 is a detail perspective view illus- Jtr-ating how the bedding may be compacted to facilitate the transportation thereof.
In the drawings, in which like numerals of reference indicate figures, which.
Inonly like parts in all of the 1 serves to indicate the mattress while it may bevof any type coinused in making up bedding,
is pref.-
erably of a light weight type such as is desirable for camping purposes and which may be readily rolled up into the compact condition indicated in Figure 5 of the drawing.
In the drawing, the numeral 2 indicates the usual mattress coverin be tucked in downward sheet, which may y around the edges of the mattress or not, as desired, 3 the covering sheet and 4 a blanket, or other Acovering, the use of which is, of course, optional according to the conditions of the weather. Thus far, I have described bedding material which is commonly used for all purposes and the usual arrangement of which is well unsii ilar material and adapted to have the edges thereof overlap the upturned edges of the lower sheet 5. v V Y For tightly securing the bedding to the desired positions indicated in Figures 2 and 3 of the drawings I provide upper and lower opposed sides clamping pieces 7 preferably constructed of metal to include down-turned clamping or clamping edges 8, or iii other words, being of' inverted U shape in cross section lso as to present the edges 8 of the U, in clamping relationagainst lthe bedding. The sides clamping pieces 7 are preferably .constructed in 'two or more sections, as
andareshown in Figure 1 of the drawings, apertured as at 9 for purposes later to be described. y
Foot end clamping pieces 1() are also provided, constructed similar to the side pieces 7 with the exception of not being constructed in sections, and are suitably apertured as at 11. At the meeting ends of the respectivev side and end pieces 7 and 10 they are suitably cut out and iiattened as at 12, to facilitate proper cooperation thereof at the lower corners of the bed. n
The apertures 9 and 11 with which the side and foot end pieces 7 and 10 are equipped serve to facilitate the application of clamping bolts 13, a sufficient number of which are used to provide for the desired clamping of the said pieces to position. Each bolt 13 is constructed to include a lower double squared head 14 the upper squared portion of which acts as an abutment and engages the uppermost face of the respective bottoni clamping pieces 7 or l0, while the lower squared portion servesv to prevent rotation by passing through the be folded up over apertures 9 which in the case of said lower pieces 7 or 10 are squared for that purpose, a sharpened upper end 15 for facilitating the desired piercing of the mattress when being moved to cooperative position, and threaded ends for receiving the limiting or upper clamping heads 16 for engaging the top surface of the mattress and providing suitable abutment limiting the final securing, and the final upper. end lower securing heads 17 adapted to oppose the top and bottom surfaces of the pieces 7 and 10 for securing them to clamping condition in the manner illustrated in Figures l, 2 and e of the drawing. The securing` heads 17, especially the upper ones thereof, are readily removable by the user of the bed or an attendant, and by reason of providing at least one set of` side clamping pieces in sections it ispossibleto readily remove the uppermost section of one of the sides to facilitate the turning down of the bed covering so that the ocoupantcan readily slip into the same when after again applying' the removed piece and securing the member 17 the bed clothing will be clamped to the desired position against inadvertent or undesired removal.
It will be obvious that a bed structure constructed as herein described is very practical for camping purposes in that it will effectively repel moisture from above and below the bed, and will efficient-ly ensure against in advertent or undesired displacement of the bed clothing rendering the same particularly adaptable for use in camping or for use in Vhomes or hospitals where it is a common thing for children and delirious patients to repeatedly uncover themselves with the danger, `in the first instance, of the child falling from the bed or catching cold, and in the latter instance the danger to the patient, either through physical injury brought on during a roaming about in a delirious condition or a relapse suffered from exposure. It will also be readily apparent that the bed structure illustrated, by reason of the manner of constructing the same is readily adaptable for use directly upon the ground in camp ing, or in a home or hospital upon a suitable spring equipped supporting frame.
he provision of the sectional sides clamping pieces 7 also facilitates the rolling up of the complete bedding into a compact roll in the manner illustrated in Figure 6 of the drawing, it being understood that when this is accomplished, the said pieces will be collapsed and inserted into the inner portion of the roll.
By reason of extending the edges of the top protecting sheet 6 over the upturned edges of the lower sheet 5, drainage of any water, due to rain or dew when the device is used out of doors, into' communication with the bed clothing proper is guarded against.
To further facilitate the transportation of the invention when compacted, one of the end clamping' pieces 10, if desired, may be equipped Vwith a pair of cross slots 18 through which may be projected the ends of a collapsible handle strap 19, suitable enlargements 20 being connected to each said end after its insertion through the respective slot to prevent further removal thereof. Vhen thus lequipped and applied as indicated in Figure 6 of the drawing a suitable handle for the compacted bedding is provided.
From the foregoing description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it is thought the complete construction, manner of operation and advantages of my invention will be readily apparent to those familiar with the use of such equipment.
