Patented Oct. 29, 1929 (UNITED STATES WILLIAM A. vonnnnn, or KENOSI-IA, WISCONSIN, 'ASSIGNOR To Simmons COMPANY,
OF NEW YORK, N. Y., A CORPORATION OF DELAWARE CRIB Application filed August 23, 1926. Serial oj130817- mounting one of the side guards whereby it u may be easily moved from its eiiective position to a position beneath the, bottom of the crib so as to permit free access to the interior thereof. Other objectsof the invention are to provide means, for mounting a side guard in its effective position which will notreadily become disengaged by accident and which will not be readily disengaged by the occupant of the crib; to rovide means for retaining the guard in efiective position which will be self-locking but which may be readily unlocked by the operator; to provide means for sup orti'ng' the guard in both its efiective .po Mon and in its position beneath: the bed bottom, and to provide means for guiding the guard to its said position beneath the bed bottom. Other objects are to provide such guiding meanswhich will be simple and siifliciently strong to withstand careless or rough treatment to which it may be sub jected and which will not readily become 'disarranged and inoperative; and generally to proyide an improvedstructure of the above described class which will be simple to opcrate, comparatively strong and Tlgld and low in manufacturing cost. and advantages of the invention will become apparent when the following specification is considered in connection with the, accompanying drawings, wherein I have illustrated a selected embodiment of my invention and wherein X i i Q 'Fi 1 is aside elevation; of a crib emlyli g m i p e e s tre r Fig. 2111s a plan of a'port o'n of one of the latchlngumeans; r Fig. 3 is an elevation of means shown in Fig. 2;
' r 51s a section entire line e-s of Fig. 4.
7150 Referring now to the drawings, the crib th bj ct comprises end framesv 10 and 11, having cornerposts 1212 and 1313 respectively,- a side guard 14 extending between the corner posts 12 and 13015 the end frames andfiXed in its position thereto, a bed bottom 15 of any suitable construction and movable-side guard 16 which is maintained in effective position between the ,corresponding corner posts 12 and 18by means which will be more fully described hereinafter; The corner posts are preferably provided with suitable casters 17: at their-lower ends to facilitate movement of the crib from place to place;
As best understood from aninspection of Fig. 4, this invention contemplates moving a the side guard 16 from its effective position, as shown in full lines, to an ineffective or inoperative position beneath the bottom of the crib, as shown at 16 in dotted lines; To'hold the side guard 16 in efl'ec'uive position,a suit- 9 able latch means 18 is provided adjacent the top of the guard at each end thereof, which is adapted to'cooperatewith suitable means" provided on the corresponding corner posts of the end frames This latchinthe present embodiment comprises a plate19 secured to the corresponding corner post by suitable means such as screws 20, and provided with a stud 21 projecting therefrom andflhaving a head 22. A member cooperating with the above mentioned studded plate comprises a member 23, also preferably of sheet'metal, secured to the side guard by suitable means,
such as screws 24:,and having a portion 25, Q I
projecting outwardly in front of the plate 19 I and provided with a hook portion 26, as best shown inFig. 3. "The book portion ,26 is; adapted toengageorlhook over the stud s and alocking member '27 is provided to prevent accidental disengagement of said hook member from said stud. The locking mem ber 27 comprises a hook lik'e' part pivotally mounted as at 281m the portion 2510f the crib member and having a hook" end 29 which i isadapted to swing on the piyott28 to 'a'cs positionbeneath'tlie stud 21. The pivot 28 is jpreferably'above and inside of the'center of thestud 21; whereby gravity-will be eiiective to cause the hook end 29'to assume its locking position, asshown in Fig. 3. T les g hook end 29 is preferably shaped to provide a downward outwardly inclined portion 30 which, willengage the under side of the stud 21 when the side guard is raised without swinging the locking member 27 on its pivot 28 so as to move the hook portion 29 thereof out of the way. It will be observed that when the sideguard is raised, the inclined portion 30 of the hook member 29 will engage the under side ofthe stud 21 and will tend to more firmly hold the hook 29 in its locking position; To facilitate swinging the locking member 27 on its pivot 28 and thereby moving the hook portion '29 out of the way, I
provide an outwardly extending lug 31, which may convenientlybe engaged by the thumb or finger or" the operator.
To hold the lower, side or bottom' of the side guard 16 in effective position and to guide the side guard to its inoperative po sition, I provide a guide rod 32 at each end of the crib, which guide rod is rotatably supported at its inner end by meansof a bracket 33 secured to the adjacent end frame, and pivotally supported at its outer or front end by being bent upwardly, as indicated at 3 1,
and inwardly, as at 35, said inwardly bent portion being rotatably disposed in a suitable aperture, inthe rail 36 which extends between the end frames of the crib and which constitutes a part ofthe bed bottom 15. The
' rod 32 may bepreventedfrom moving forwvarcll.y and out of engagement with the bracket 33 at its inner end by suitable means, such a collar 10 secured to the rod in back or" the bracket 33. A bracket 37, having one leg 38 secured to the side guard, is provided with a leg 39 which is apertured to permit the passage of the guide rod 32 therethrough. The guide rod being pivotally supported at its outer end and rotatably supported at its inner end, may be moved laterally, in a substantially horizontal direction, to a limited extent, whereby extreme accuracy in positioning the guide rod and bracket is not necessary. I r
" It will be observed that the lower edge or bottom of the guard 16 isheld against displacement by engagement of the bracket3': thereon with't-he guide'rod 32. Injorder to support the side guard and to relieve the latch means 18 of the entire load, Ipreter to provide a roller 41 rotatably mounted on the corner posts of the end frames beneath the bottom edge of the side guard, as best shown in Figs- 1 and 4. v v When. the side guard to be moved from its efi'ectiveposit-ion to the position shown inldotted lines in Fig. e, the operator swings -the lockingmember 27 out of the way of the stud andjli'fts the side guard so as'to clear the hook portion 26 of the latching member from thestud 21.
' When the latch has thus been disengagechthe upper edge of the side guard maybe pulled outwardly, t io the stud and 29 will be directly over the stud 21 and inside the head '22 thereof. The side guard may then be lowered until the bottom edge 42 ofthe locking hook 29 engages the top of ill be thrown to one side due to its angular inclination, until the stud 21 is above said locking hook and engages the hook portion 26 of the latch member 25.
As above explained, the locking hook 29 will be caused to again assume its locking position by means or" gravity. in practice i find that the side guard may be readily raised by gripping the lugs 31 on the locking hooks and swinging the locking hook on its pivot until the inclined edge engages an dge 4-3 of the hook member 26 and is thereby limited in its swinging movement. Further lifting on the lugs 31 will then cause the entire side guard to be lifted asdesired.
I have thus provided a movable side guard stru'ctinev for a crib which may be easily moved from its effective or operative position to an inoperative position beneath the bottom of the crib, where it- 'will be out of the way and permit free'access to the interior In a crib, the combination of a pair of rigidly connected endtrames, a bed bottom, an. adj ustably mounted side, guard extending between said end frames and adapted to be moved to a position beneath said bed bottom so as to permit free access to the interior of the crib, releasable means adjacent the top of saidv side guard-for lockingsaid guardin efiective position betweensaid end frames, a guiderod extending transversely of the crib beneath the bed bottom, secured adjacent its inner end to a stationary portion of the crib and provided with an upwardly extending substantially vertical portion adjacent its outer end," saidvertical portion being disposed inwardly of the inner face 01 said adjustable side guard and secured to an adjacent stationz'uy portion of the crib, a bracket having a portion extending inwardly from the inner face of said adjustable side guard and apertured to slidably receive said guide rod, thereby to permit sliding movement of said side guard along said guide rod, and a roller rotatably mounted on a stationary, portion of the crib, engaging the lower edge portion of the side guard when the latter is in eli ective position, for supporting the guard in such position, said roller being also eflective to guide the upper portion of the side guard in its movement from effective to adjusted position be neath said bed bottom.
