DALLAS M. KILLIAN AND LE ROY HUMBERT, OF SIOUX CITY, IOWA.
IMPROVEMENT IN COMBINED CRADLE AND TABLE.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 206.798, dated August 6, 1878; application filed May 27, 1878.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that we, DALLAS M. KILLIAN and LE RoY HUMBERT, of Sioux'City, in the county of Woodbury and State of Iowa, have invented a new and Improved Combined Childs Cradle and Table; and we do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same.
Our invention is an improvement in the class of convertible articles of household furniture. It is a table which, by detaching the top, inverting the frame, and applying rockers, may be converted into a childs cradle.
Figure 1 is a side View of the same as a table, and Figs. 2 and 3 are side and end views of it as a cradle.
The rigid or permanent rectangular frame of our improved article of furniture is composed of the sides B B, end pieces E E, crossbars e e, and spring-slats F.
When the article is used as a table the slats F form the bottom of a shallow chamber or cavity, Fig. 1, in which the rockers are placed when not required for use as part of the cradle. The detachable table-top A has cleats a to hold it in place while the article of furniture is used as a table.
The supports for the table are the hinged legs 0, between which is placed a detachable brace, D, Fig. 1; or sliding bolts may be employed to impart the desired rigidity to the joints of the legs, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 1.
Vhen the article is used as a cradle the slats F constitute the elastic support for the mattress. They are attached to cross-bars c e, which connect the sides B B, and are placed near and parallel to the end pieces 0 O. The ends of the slats project over the bars 0, and thus form the upper side of the sockets in which the upper edges of the rockers E are inserted when the table is to be converted into a cradle.
The rockers are locked to the frame A G F c by means of buttons f, Figs. 2 and 3, which are pivoted to the cross-bars 0, so that when properly adjusted as fasteners they will enter slots in the rockers E, and thus prevent detachment of the latter until turned back into a position parallel to the bars a.
We do not claim, broadly, an article of household furniture having a rigid box-like frame, hinged legs, and a slatted bottom but \Vhat we claim is- The combination of the detachable rockers E and fastening devices, with the table-frame composed of the sides B B, ends 0 G, slats F, and cross-bars c, the latter being so located as to leave a space between them and the ends (J, all as shown.
