Description
L. O. OXENDORF SWINGING BED Filed Jan. 25. 1929 May 6, 1930.
Patented May 6, 1930 LOUIS O. OXENDORF, OF MILWAUKEE, WISCONQSIN SWINGING BED Application filed. January 25, 1929., Serial N0.334,951.
This invention pertains to improvements in swinging beds, more particularly designed for use upon vessels and the like, wherein the eds are tree to swing with the motion of the vessel.
The invention has primarily for its object the provision of a simple and inexpensive, durable bed structure in which any number of beds may be provided within the limits of the height between the floor and ceiling; which may be made up from stock material such as angle iron, channel iron, tubing, and the like; which may be knocked down to provide for compact shipping or ready removal when desired; and which is adjustable to provide for installation between floors and ceilings of different heights.
With the above and other objects in view, which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the novel construction, combination and arrangement of parts substantially as hereinafter described and more particularly defined by the appended claim, it being understood that such changes in the precise embodiment of the herein disclosed invention may be made as come within the scope of the claim.
In the accompanying drawings is illustrated one complete example of the physical embodiment of the present invention con- Sil'llt'iell according to the best mode so far devised for the practical application of the principles thereof.
In the drawing, Figure 1 is a longitudinal section taken on the line 11 of Figure 2;
Figure 2 is a transverse fragmentary section taken on the line 2-2 of Figure 1; and
Figure 3 is a fragmentary detail of the bed supporting connection, with parts broken away and in section to more clearly illustrate structural features.
Referring now more particularly to the accompanying drawing, the numeral 1 designates the corner uprights which, in the present instance, are formed from stock tubular material, and provided adjacent their lower ends with brackets 2 for attachment to a floor or deck 3.
Telescopically receiving the upper ends of the uprights 1 are tubular sections 4, also provided adjacent their upper ends with brackets 5 for attachment ,to the ceiling. Due to the telescopic connection between the sections 4i and the uprights 1, it will be obvious that an adjustment is provided which permits installation of the frame structure between floors and ceilings of Various heights, thu avoiding the necessity of furnishing various sizes.
Connecting the end uprights are a plu- "ality of cross supports 6 preferably formed channel iron because .of its strength and "s, and the fact that the downturned the channel iron serve to straddle the uprights and provide a more secure attachna:
lhe supports 6 are secured to the uprights by bolts 1 and are provided intermediate their ends with notches 8 for the reception of longitudinal bars 9 which serve to support the bed frames, as hereinafter described. The bars 9 aredetachably secured upon the support 6 by means 01" cotter pins 10, Obviously, there is little strain ,upon the pins 10, which are primarily for the purpose of preventing longitudinal shiftingof the bars 9, as these are hcld agziust lateral shifting by the notches 8 formed in the supports. The bed frames 11 are preferably formed from angle iron which permits thesidesand ends to be bolted together in knock-down assembly. However, adjacent the side trainee, the couches may be ,provided with wood bars 12 which avoids contact of the occupants legs *ith the angle irons as he gets intoand out of bed.
The upright end sections 13 of the bed frame carry a hanger 14 heat to provide a central loop 15 which loops are connected ith the bars 9 by serve to swingingly support the bed frames. In order to prevent longitudinal shifting of the links 16 on the bars 9, staples l7 straddle the links and are secured in any suitable manner to the bars. It will be noted that by providing the loops 15 at the central portion of the hanger 14, it will prevent the supporting link 16 from sliding over onto the side portions of the hanger during any tilting movement of the supports so that re- 1 means of links 16 which gardless of the position of the supports, the loop 15 will readily move within the links 16 and permit the bed frame to always maintain a horizontal position.
From the foregoing explanation, it will be obvious that the bed frames 11 are free to swing in both longitudinal'and lateral directions with the motion of the vessel, thus materially reducing movement transmitted to the bed, and maintaining the same in normal horizontal position. Should it be desired to anchor the bedframes with relation to the uprights, the same can be accomplished by means of hooks and eyes 17 adapted to anchor the bed frames to the uprights 1.
Fromthe foregoing, it follows that a very simple, inexpensive, and durable structure of swinging bed has been provided from stock material, and with the exception of the side rails 12, formed entirely out of metal and, therefore, readily cleaned to meet most sanitary conditions.
It will also be appreciated that due to the method of attachment and the adjustability of the uprights, the structure may be quickly knocked down and installed between floors and ceilings of various heights. 7 Furthermore, due to the fact that the various, parts are detachably assembled, the same may be compactly shipped or stored.
I'claim: A swinging bed structure comprising spaced tubular uprights, brackets secured to the lower ends of said uprights for attachment to'the floor, tubular sections telescoping with the upper ends of said uprights, brackets carried by said sections for attachment to a ceiling, screw members detachably secured to the end uprights, longitudinal bars detachably supported upon said screw members, bed frame structures, hangers at each end of said bed frame structures having loops formed at their immediate portions, links loosely mounted upon said longitudinal bars and loosely engaged with the loops for sup- I porting said bed frame structures, means to prevent longitudinal shlftlng of sa1d links on said bars, and means for locking the beds against swinging motion with relation to said uprights.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand at Milwaukee, in f the county of Milwaukee and State of WVisconsin.
