UNITED STATES PATENT OEEIoE.
HENRY COMPES, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.
IMPROVEMENT IN SOFA-BEDSTEADS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 186,199, dated January 16, 1877; application filed October 29, 1875.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HENRY OoMPEs, of the city and county of San Francisco, and State of California, have invented a new, useful, and Improved Settee and Sofa-Bed Combined; and do hereby declare the following to be a full, perfect, and complete description of the same, with reference to the drawing for illustration.
Figure 1 shows the settee open for use as a bed. Fig. 2 is an end View of the settee when folded.
My object is to make a light, simple, and cheap article of furniture to be used as a settee and sofa, and upfolded for a bed, with or without upholstery; and to this end my invention consists in the employment of a baseframe, to which are pivoted a seat and back frame, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
To construct my invention, I make asuitable frame, A, the desired length and width, to set on the floor, with veneered finish, or of hard wood, and with feet or legs the proper height. A represents this frame or base. d d are cleats or slats attached to the sides of the base A. B is the seatframe, pivoted to the base A by the bolts 0, so as to rotate freely thereon. f fare side arms attached to the frame B. V
Whenthe frame B is revolved over on the baseframe A, so as to form a sofa, the lower edges of the sides of said frame rest on and are supported by the cleats d d on the sides of the base A, the lower edges of the sirlearms ff resting on the upper edges of the sides of the base A.
When the frame Bis revolved so as to form a bed-frame, as seen in Fig. 1, the side arms f f perform the function of legs supporting the frame B.
I then make another frame, C, hinged in the same manner in the base or frame at e, which is placed upright, forming the back for the settee, said back being retained in its upright position by screws l, passing through the side arms fof the frame B, and thence into the sides of the back-frame C.
The frames may be provided with slats, if desirable, or it can be upholstered without.
The back-frame may be made to extend lower than'the bottom of the seat-frame, when the whole may be made narrower than otherwise.
The seat is opened and turned over, when the arms ff rest on the floor to hold it level with the frame. The back -frame is then brought forward, and let down to fill the place occupied by the seat, making a level surface, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawing.
When upholstered, the bottom part of the cushion is used for the bed; and when not upholstered, a mattress may be spread over it.
I make the settee without upholstery, with legs and a slatted seat and'back, the slats set lengthwise. This form may be used for a single as well as a double bed.
Wooden or metal arms may be used on this device, made fast to the seat-frame supporting the backframe, fastened to it also by books or pins at l. A hinged lid, h, in the front of the base allows the seat to turn when upholstered.
The bottom of the settee under the seat can be used for bed-clothing.
What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is-
The combination, in the settee and sofa-bed, of the frame or base A, movable seat -frame B, and back-frame C, hinged in the seat-frame by the bolts 0 and e, and the arms ff on the seat-frame connected to the back by the pins or hooks t, as herein described.
