CLAUDE H. 6/9055 Patented May 23, 1933 cmuma a. cross, or L Anaemia, camoam SUITBA'I'H AND OUTDOOR SLEEPING R001! Application filed lay 12, 1930. Serialli'o. 451,823;
My invention relates to sunbaths and sleeping rooms, and has for an object the provision of means whereb the human body may be exposed to natura sunlight in such 5 manner that the body will be directly subjected to the invigorating, beneficial and ofttimes curative properties of the ultra-violet re s.
i knother object of the invention resides in the provision of a structure of this character which is portable, one which is of li ht weight, strong and durable, and one which is characterized byv means that enables the structure to be readily set up or knocked down, as the occasion necessitates.
Another object of the invention is to provide a portable structure embodying the use of a novel frame which functions both as a means for supporting a bed or thelike and for supporting the walls of the structure so as to produce an enclosure'for the bed and to afford a satisfactory place of seclusion or rivacy for the occupant.
other object of the invention is to provide a structure of this character embodying an enclosure having means capable of adjustment to respectively different positions and which; when adjusted to one position, serves to protect the interior of the enclomm against the entrance of the elements thereto and which, when adjusted to another position, serves to direct a flood or an abundance of sunlight into the enclosure, where its full benefit may be had when impressed upon the body of the user.
Another object of the invention is to rovide a structure of this character inclu ing an enclosure having a hinged top or roof directly superposed with respect to a vertically adjustable bed so that, when the top or roof is opened, the bed can be moved to a position where the suns rays can be most beneficially spent against the body of the atient.
Astill further object of the invention is to rovide meansof the character described embodying the use of an enclosure and means therewithin for supporting the bed for vertical and horizontal adjustments, re- 50 spectively, so that, by virtue of the horizontal adjustment, a comparatively wide dressing space will be provided between one side of the bed. and an adjacent wall of the v enclosure.
In the accompanying drawings,
Figure 1 is a View in side elevation of the device with parts broken away;
Figure 2 is a section taken on line 2-2 of Figure 1;
Figure 3 is a transverse section taken on line 3-3 of Figure 1;
Figure 4 is a perspective view of-the adjustable spring support;
Figure 5 is a perspective view of the head board; and Figure v6 is a vertical section taken on line 66 of Figure 2.
In carrying the invention into practice, use is made of a supportin frame comprising substantially identica vertically disposed end members 10, 10, each preferably constructed of metal and including spaced apart vertical branches 11, angularly related base portions 12, angularly related upper portions 13, and forwardly and upwardly inclined roof-supporting portions 14. The lower portions 12 are connected together by a suitable strengthening bar 15. Each of these frame members 10 is preferably U- shaped in transverse section, as clearly shown in Figure 3.
The members 10 can be placed at any suitable distance from one another, depending upon thelength of the structure to be provided. Connected to the spaced apart members 10 are side bars or rods 16 and similar end bars or rods 17, the former and the latter serving as means for suspending the side and end walls 18 and 19, as illustrated herein. Theseside and end walls are preferably formed of canvas and extend clear to the base of the structure. In addition to their employment as means to suspend these curtains, these rods or bars 16 and 17 serve to connect the members 10 together and to give strength, rigidity and durability thereto when the structure is set up.
The vertical portions 11 of each of the aforementioned frame members 10 have nested in the channelsthereof and securely welded therein U-bars 20, and, as illustrated,
said U-bars are each formed with 9. Ion
manner the said head and foot boards can be vertlcally adjusted with respect to the to of the structure.
lach of the said head and foot boards and 24 is provided with spaced apart horizontally disposed angle bars 25 and 26 and, as illustrated, the horizontal flan e 27 of each bar extends the full lengt of the board. A spring support 28 consisting preferably of parallel side rails 29, 29, and parallel end rails 30, 30' is ada ted to co-act with the respective head and oot boards 23 and 24. Extending from the side rails 29 are brackets 31, the same arranged in pairs adjacent to the respective end rails 30, 30. The respective airs of bars 31, 31, are connected together y atransverse bar 32. These bars 32 are arranged to directly underlie the respective end rails 30 of the spring support so that they will rest upon the angle bars 26 while the end rails 30 of the spring support are in resting engagement wit the bars 25. The bars 25 and 26' have their flanges 27 formed with spaced a art vertical openings 33 which are adapte to register with similar openings 34 formed in the rails 30 and the bars 32, and same-are adapted for the reception of fastening bolts 35. In this manner, the head and foot boards may be firmly connected with the spring support and means are provided whereb the spring support may be adjusted lateral y in the direction of one of the side walls 18 in order to present a wide dressin space between the op posite side wall 18 an t e adjacent side rail 29 of the sprin su port. ThlS is made possible through 51c fact that the end rails 30 and the bars 32 of the ring support are slidably supported upon the bars 25 and 26 of the respective head and foot boards. Obviously it follows that when it is desired to adjust the s ring support in a lateral direction, the astenings 35 are removed. When the spring sup rt is in the position shown in F1 re 2, a l of the fastenings 35 are connect with the bars 32 and end rails 30 of the spring support and with the coacting bars 25 and 26 of said head and foot boards. But when a position of lateral adjustment of the spring support is had, certain of the fastenings 35 will not be em-' ployed. This is because of the fact that I have shown three openings 33 in each of the bars 25 and 26, and a corresponding number in each of the bars 30 and 32. I ma of course, emplo a greater number of suc openings, in w ich event all of the fastenings which are employed when the '14, 14, of the frame members 10 ment.
the outside.
having an open top by means of which natural sunlight will be free to enter the enclosure, where its effect may be spent against the body of the person. By providing for vertical adjustment of the spring support, the bed can be placed at a position near the 0 en top of the enclosure, so that the full e ect of the suns rays may be had.
The open top of the structure is provided with co-acting hinged roof sections 36, 36, which normally rest upon the inclined bars 10. Toggle links 37 res ectively connect the roof sections 36 wit the inclined portions 14' of the frame members 10 so that the said sections may be held in positions of open ad- Justment. The roofsections 36 are referably constructed of any suitable well lsnown transparent material which will permit the effect of the ultra-violet rays to be spent upon the body of a person undergoing treattions 36 would be adjusted to their fully open positions.
It is proposed that the structure be of such height that one cannot see thereinto from The roof sections are also intended to serve to obstruct the vision of persons positioned at a height above the structure, thereby giving the occupant of the structure absolute seclusion.
I claim as my invention:
Ordinarily it is intended that the 1.
