IMPROVEMENT IN SPRING BED-BOTTOMS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 164,693. dated June 22, 1875 application iiled February 23, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN A. REEDS, of
Lawrence, in thecounty of Douglas and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bed Spring-Bottom; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,
, making a part of this specification.
` stead with my improved spring-bottom in place, one corner of the ligure being broken away to illustrate more clearly the attachments. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective, showing the relation of the slats and end bars. Fig. 3 is a view in detail, showing the spring and a portion of the side rail ofthe supporting-frame in elevation, and the end bar in transverse section 5 and Fig. 4 is a detail top view, showing the same.V
Similar letters indicate like parts in the several figures.
A represents an ordinary bedstead, within which rests a supporting-traine, B, to which, at the sides and near the ends, are secured C springs O, which springs are slightly twisted laterally as they rise from the supporting-frame, so that the free ends thereof shall lie within the plane of the inside of the suliporting-frame, to admit. of a free vertical movement ofthe end bars D, which, by means of tlat staples a, are hung upon the ends of the springs, the latter having a iluting or depression into which the staple nds a seat. rFhe cross-bars D are provided with a series of flat staples or bearings, E, throughwhich the slats F pass, thus holding the slats loosely and movably upon the top surface of the bars D. The top surfaces of these'bars are slightly rounded, to lessen the surface contact between them and the slat, and to produce a rocking or slightly oscillating or vibrating motion of the bars when weight rests upon the slats.
It will be observed that the slats may be readily removed, and that they are permitted to move longitudinally, limited only by the foot and head boards of the bedstead.
The rounded top surface of the cross-bars,
and the staple connection with the free ends ofthe C-springs, permits of the usual longitudinal thrust of the Slat-frame without the corresponding strain to the springs, which,
from their shape and connections, permit of an easy vertical movement of the whole or any side, end, or corner of the Slat-frame.
Another feature of the connection of the slats with the end bars, andthe end bars with the springs is, that there is no extensive points of contact, and none which bear the same relations continuously, thus effectually avoiding the lodgment and concealing of vermill.
The C-springs may be applied to the side rails of the ordinary bedstead, by screws or bolts, permanently, so that the springframe is quickly removed by simply lifting tlieiend bars D from the hooked ends of the springs. The slats may then be readily removed, and the whole device packed Within a smallfconipass. .i
It will also be observed that usuallythe springs and end bars are all that is necessary for use in the common bedstead, and they bear such relations that they may be readily fitted to. any sized bedstead by simply cutt-in February, 1875.
