PILLOW.
SI ECIFIGATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 273,974, dated March 13, 1883, Application filed December 5,1882. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPHE. EvERIss, a citizen of the United States, residing at Adrian, county of Lenawee, and State of Michigan, have invented and produced a new and original design for a Pillow, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to certain improvements in that class of pillows commonly called adjustable head-rests; and the invention consists, first, in the peculiar construction, adapting it to be used in a casket or c'oflin or on a bed,or in any other place where it may be desired; and, second, in. means for holding it at any angle desired, all as will be hereinafter more fully set forth, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, in which--- i Figure 1 is a central vertical section on line a N N of Fig. 2, and Fig. 2 is a plan view.
My pillow may be used in a casket or coffin, or on any ordinary bed or other desired place; but for illustration I have shown in the drawings, at M, a representation of the bottom of a coffin orcasket; but it may represent a bed,
the construction of which does not need fur ther description.
The upholsteringof the pillow may be after any desired pattern, but should consist of'two sections, the larger, B,ofwhich is formed with a recess, 0, adapted to receive the persons head, and the sinaller,.F, forms a rest for the hollow of the back, and its outer ends a support for the shoulders. To the under side of the back or board of the-pillow is hinged a leg, 9, formed with a rack on its upper side, as shown in Fig. 1 of the drawings. The arm h, also hinged to the under side of the back, is arranged between the leg g and end thereof in such manner as to allow of its lower end being thrown back to engage with the rack -on the leg for forming a brace for supporting the pillow, as will appear farther on. The cord 1, secured to said arm, extends back and passes through an eye or other suitable device secured to the end of the board or back of thepillow, as shown in Fig. l of the drawings.
In use the pillow is placed on the bottom of the coffin or other desired place, and the arm set against one of the teeth of the rack on the leg, thus forming a rigid brace against downward pressure on the pillow. If it is desirous to lower the angles of the pillow, the arm isdrawn away from contact with the rack on the leg by pulling the cord 1, thus allowing the pillow to be lowered to the desired position. When the cord is freed the arm will swing back, and its lower end will rest against one of the teeth of the rack on the leg, thus forming a brace for supporting the pillow. In raising the angle of the pillow itis not necessary to pull the cord, as the end of the arm will be drawn over the rack on the leg until the pillow is raised to the desired angle, When the lower end of the arm will be caught by one of the teeth of the rack, and thus securely hold the pillow against downward pressure.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim i's'-- 1. The combination of the railM, constructed and hinged leg 9, provided with rack-teeth,
and hinged arm h for supportingthe other end, as set forth.
2. A pillow or head-rest provided with a recess in the upholstering adapted to receive the head, as set forth.
3. In a pillow or head-rest, the top or np-.
