INVALI D-BEDSTEA D.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 225,455, dated March 16, 1880,
I Application filed J anuary 30, 1879.
To all whom it may concern: 4
Be it known that I, PETER F. ADAMS, of Salem, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Invalid-Bedsteads, of which the following is a specification.
Invalid-bedsteads of various constructions have heretofore been used-some with a drop at the end, others with a small circular drop in the center of the bed-but which are more or less objectionable both on account of the location of the drop and the means of operating the same.
The object of my invention is to provide a drop, both accessible and convenient, in the front side of the bed, directly under the hips of the recumbent patient, and also to provide improved means of operating the same; and, further, to provide a chamber-vessel, to be used in connection with the drop, so suspended as to be readily moved under the drop when required.
Referring to the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of reference indicate like parts, Figure 1 is a transverse sectional elevation of a bedstead embodying my improvements. Fig. 2 is a plan view of same; and Fig. 3, an enlarged view of the jointed rod, vessel, 80c.
Ais thebedstead. Bis the mattress, having the portion 0 arranged to drop when desired, swinging on hinges at H, and held in place by the spring-catch c, which is operated by a handling. 1) is a chamber-vessel suspended on the jointed arm E, arranged to swing on the rod F, and also to slide up and down on the same, binding itself in whatever position it may be placed. The arm E is also provided with a hinge-joint, by which (and together with the movements before mentioned) it can be placed in any required position under the drop 0. h is a strong cord attached to the hand-rin g d, and passing through a hole in the frame of bed A, and from thence, on the under side of thebed, to and over a pulley at e, attached to the end of an elastic cord, f, the opposite end of which is fastened to the bed at E. From the pulley e the cord It returns and passes over the truck t, attached to the front side of the drop 0, and from thence backward, and is made fast at k.
The operation is as follows: The hand-ring is pulled forward, removing the catch from under the drop (J, when the latter is pressed downward, and by the tension of the elastic cord f is swung down and backward to nearly a perpendicular position, when the chambervessel D can be moved under the open drop and, by the mechanism above described, placed in any desired position. The vessel D being removed, the drop 0 is raised to its place by simply pulling forward the hand-ring (1, thereby giving the cord h sufficient tension to bring the drop 0 into position, where it is' firmly held by the catch.
Besides the great advantage of placing the drop in the front side of the bed as relating to the use of the vessel D, it is also importantin bathing the patient, dressing Wounds, cooling the bed, &c.
I do not claim as new the use of the drop; but a What I claim as myinvention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
1. The drop 0, located in the front side of the bed A, and operated substantially as described, and for the purpose specified.
2. The jointed arm E, for hearing vessel 1), in combination with invalid-bedstead A A, having drop 0, when arranged substantially as shown, and for the purpose specified.
PETER F. ADAMS.
