DAVID LOVFTT, OF LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY.
IMPROVEMENT IN SOFA-BEDSTEADS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 175,123, dated March 21, 1876 application filed June 12, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, DAVID LoVET'r, of the city of Louisville, in the county of Jefferson and State of Kentucky, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in a Folding Lounge and Bed Combined; and 1 do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.
Figure l is a perspective view of the device, showing its general appearance when closed up to be used as a sofa-lounge. Fig. 2 is a perspective view with the seat-frame drawn out in front, in order to show the slides on of the sliding frame, in such a manner as to turn back Within the main frame of the lounge when extended to be used as a bed,
While the head-rest is made to part horizontally near the center, and hinged together in front in such manner as to be easily turned out in front'to form a continuation of the head-rest across the entire bed, to answer as the pillows thereof, where it is held in position by means of a hook on the frame in front when extended, and by steady-pins near the back when folded up.
The sliding frame on which the seat rests,
and the seat-frame proper, are made separate, and hinged together at the back in such a manner as to'permit the seat to turn down in front over the upholstering, and thereby form the seat of the lounge when closed up, or, if necessary, the frame can be drawn out head-rests.
in front and the seat turned back within the frame, thereby converting it into a comfortable bed, after being neatly upholstered within the frames, which upholstering may be permanently attached to the frames or made separate for convenience in cleaning, the front legs of such sofa-bedstead being divided, and a half attached to each frame, substantially as hereinafter specified.
In the drawings, A represents the main frame of the device, and B B are the hinged The back and head-rests are upholstered and ornamented according to taste. 0 is the sliding frame of the seat, which is provided with slats across the bottom to hold the upholstering. D D are the separate slides on which the last-named frame is made to work, all of which are made in form as shown in the drawing, and are not in any manner connected either with the seat-frame or lounge, but left free to work loosely in the groove of either part. E is the seat-frame, which is hinged to the back of the slide-frame below, so as to turn down in front over the upholstering, or back within the frame to form a bed, when extended, or a sofa when closed up. The insides of these lastnamed frames 0 and E are intended to be neatly upholstered, the upholstery being either permanently attached to the frames or made separate for convenience. F is the seat, which may becovered with any suitable material. G G are the front legs of the sofa, divided longitudinally into halves a b, the parts a being fixed to the sofa-frame, and the parts b fixed to and moving with the extension seatframe 0, for the purpose of supporting it. Casters are secured to each of the parts a. and b.
When the lounge is to be used as such that is, when foldedthe legs G will present the appearance of ordinary solid legs, thereby preserving a proper neat appearance to the sofa.
Having thus fully described the nature and object of this invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s-- 1. A sofa-bedstead, having a heed-rest, B,,
or rails D, horizontally-divided heed-rest B, hinged cushion F, and divided legs a b, arranged and operating as herein shown and described.
DAVID LOVETT.
