UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
WILLIAM H. TENDLER, OF CAMBRIDGE, MASSACHUSETTS, ASSIGNOR TO HIMSELF AND JOHN F. MOESGHLIN, 0F SAME PLACE.
SOFA-BEDSTEAD.
Specification of Letters Patent No. 27,871, dated April 10, 1860.
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. TENDLER, of Cambridge, in the county of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Sofa-Bedstead; and I do hereby declare the same to be fully described and represented in the following specification and the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure 1, denotes a top view, and Fig. 2, a transverse section of said sofa bed-stead in a folded state; Fig. 3, a top view; Fig. Ll, a front elevation, and Fig. 5, a transverse section of it in an unfolded state.
In carrying out my invention the spring bed foundation is to be constructed in two halves or parts and to be so applied to the movable seat of the so-fa bedstead that there may be a space or a chamber between the two for the reception of bedding, and such chamber with the bed foundation and the seat may be capable of either folding into the sofa frame or of being unfolded from the same as hereinafter described and as represented. Furthermore, the rear half or portion of the bed foundation is independent and separate from the sofa frame or has no direct connection with it, such folding or rear half of the spring foundation being applied to the front half thereof and to the sofa frame in such manner as to enable such rear half to be raised out of the sofa frame and turned over rearward or arranged on a level or in or about in the same plane with the front or its folded half in order that both may serve to support a mattress or bed.
In my improved sofa bedstead, the cushion or seat of the sofa constitutes no part of what may be termed the bed, its frame besides supporting the seat or cushion serving only as a means of carrying the bed clothes or bedding space or apartmentand the spring bed foundation, and of introducing them within the space within the sofa frame during the process of folding the so-fa bedstead into the form and to serve the purpose of a sofa. The seat also serves to raise both halves of the folding bed foundation out of the sofa frame.
In such drawings, A, represents the sofa frame having its seat B, hinged to its front edge (by hinges, as, shown at a., a) so as to be capable of being turned from the position shown in Figs. 1 and 2, into that exhibited in the remaining figures. In this sofa bedstead, the head may be constructed either in one single stationary part cushioned or upholstered, or it may be made in two parts, b, c, hinged together by hinges arranged as shown at, (Z, Z or otherwise applied so as to enable one of such parts to be brought or turned out so as to constitute a head board to the front part of the bed foundation when the sofa is in an unfolded state.
The bed foundation is shown at, C, as composed of two frames, c, f, hinged together as seen at g, g, and having spring bands, ZL, Zz, ZL, or other proper kind of springs applied to them for supporting a bed or mattress. Each of the parts, e, f, is made of the same size or about the same length and width and the front one (viz. 6,) is elevated above the under surface of the seat B, by means of supporters, 7f3, 7c, arranged as shown in the drawings, the same being so that there may be a space or chamber, Z, made between the sofa seat and the bed foundation and for the purpose of holding the mattress or bedding while the sofa bedstead is in a folded state.
The bed foundation and its supporters, as well as the bed receptacle, when the former is folded together may be turned over with the seat either into or out of the space m, made within the sofa frame, the folding part, f, of the bed foundation being so applied to the other part, c, and the said sofa frame as to enable such folding part f to be raised out of the space, m, and be turned over, or brought or moved on a level with the other part, c, of such bed foundation.
I do not claim applying and bringing the seat to the sofa frame in such manner that the former may be turned over and from the latter through an arc of one hundred and eighty degrees.
I claim- 1. Constructing the bed foundation, C, in two parts, e, f,`and applying the part, e, to the seat, B, and the rear half, f, to the front half, e, so as to operate therewith and with respect to the sofa frame as described.
2. I also claim arranging and combining a bed clothes space or receptacle Z, with the seat B, and the bed foundation, C, constructed and applied to the seat and the sofa frame so as to operate as described.
W. H. TENDLER.
