UNITED STATES PATENT Orrroe CHARLES E. SARGEANT, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
IMPROVEMENT IN REGISTERS FOR SLEEPING-CAR BERTHS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 188,120, dated March 13, 1877; application filed June 29, 1876.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES E. SARGEANT, of Chicago, in the State of Illinois, have invented Improvements in Sleeping-(Jar Berths, of which the following is a specification:
The object of my imention is to register the number of times the upper berth of a sleeping-car has been adjusted for use; and consists of a register fastened to the side of a car, having a suitable dog for turning the dial or pointer forward, also a connectinglink between the dog and an extension of the hinged berth. It consists, also, in the device for'preventing the hinged berth registering a movement when required to be only partially lowered, the device being a springcatch attached to one of the jointed supports of the berth, which prevents the saidjointed supports becoming straight until the springcatch is released.
The invention is more fully illustrated in the accompanying drawing. in which Figure 1 shows a vertical end section, and Fig. 2 a vertical elevation, of an upper berth ot' a sleep ing-car.
The bed A is hinged to the side of the car I and has an extension,D, projectingthrough This extension has a cord or link, D, communicating with the register E. It is evident that the act of lowering the berth willraise the extension and link, and in this way move the register. Sometimes, in use, it is necessary to lower the port G, and capable of being pulled out of contact with H, when it is required to adjust the berth for sleeping.on, at which time the link D will be moved far enough to catch another tooth.
I do not claim the jointed supports.
What I claim, and desire to secure a patent for, is- 1. The catchF, fastened to the jointed support of a sleeping-car berth, for the purpose described. r
2. The extension 0, in combination with the berth of a sleeping-car, for the purpose described.
3. In combination with an upper berth ofa sleeping-car, the register E, operated by the movement of the extension Got the said berth, substantially as described.
