Urrnn STATES PATENT JOHN PETBY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
IMPROVEMENT IN SOFA-BEDSTEADS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 166,806, dated August 17, 1875; application filed January 18, 1875.
Toall whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN PETRY, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Sofa -Bed, of which the following is a specification:
Figure l is a top view of my improved sofabed, showing the head-rest folded out and the folding seat swung up into a vertical posi- Fig. 2 is a front view, partly in section, of the sofa-bed, showing the same folded together. Fig. 3 is a vertical transverse section on the line 0 c, Fig. 2.
Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
This invention relates to a new sofa-bed, in which the folding head-rest looks the folding seat in the closed position, and in which other practical advantages are contained, as hereinafter more fully described.
A in the drawing is the main frame of the sofa-bed, carrying the fixed back B and the fixed head-rest O. D is the folding head-rest; E, the folding seat, and F the fixed half of the bed. The folding head-rest D is, at or near the middle of its inner lower cross-bar a, pivoted at b to one end of a rod, G, of which the other end is pivoted at 61 to the frame A, near the front edge of said frame, and at the junction of the fixed head-rest O with the fixed half F of the bed. The fixed head-rest (J has, at its upper part, a projecting rib, 0, over which. the upper cross-bar f of the folding head-rest D is placed when the parts are in the closed position. (Shown in Fig. 2.) In this position, too, the rod G will extend from the pivot 01 toward the back B in an inclined direction, as shown in Fig. 3. The folding seat E, which is, of course, cushioned on both sides, is, by hinges g g, connected to the front edge of the frame A, so it may be swung upon the bed F in the closed position, or out in line with the bed F in the open position. In the latter position the outer part of the seat E is partly supported by pivoted legs It It, with which it is provided. The folding head-rest D has at its outer end a downward projection, i, which, in the open position, constitutes an outer leg for said head-rest. In the closed position, however, this projection partly overlaps the end of the folding seat E, and prevents said seat thereby from being swung out, unless the head-rest D has first been swung out.
When the head-rest D is to be swung out it must be turned with the rod G on the pivot 61 until its leg i3 reaches the floor. Then the head-rest D will be supported at the outer end by the leg i, and at the inner end by the rod G, which bears upon the frame A, and against the under side of a pin, j, projecting from the lower cross-bar a. t A button, I, pivoted to the head-rest 0 may then also be swung behind the head rest D, as in Fig. 1, to give additional support to the said head-rest D. In this outer position of the head-rest D the cushioned faces of the two head-rests G D are in line to make one continuous head-support for the bed.
In the drawing I have not represented any of the cushions to be used on the sofa-bed, in order to make the construction of the framework more clearly apparent.
After the head-rest D has been swung out the seat E is also swung out into line with the bed F, and carries in this position a projecting hook, on, into an eye, a, formed on the headrest D, as shown, so that by said hook and eye both parts D E will be firmly connected.
The legs h h are then also folded down to support the outer end of the seat E.
For folding the bed together, the seat E is first swung upon the bed F, and then the headrest D is brought into place on the fixed headrest 0.
I claim as my invention- The combination of the folding head-rest D with the rod Gr, connecting it to the frame A, and with the projecting leg 2', fixed head-rest O, and folding seat E, all arranged substantially as herein shown and described.
JOHN PETRY.
