PATENT FFICE.
TRAVIS O. BENTLEY, OF PATTONVILLE, TEXAS.
BED-BOTTOM.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 316,227, dated April 21, 1885.
' Application filed June 1?, i884. (No model.) I
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, TRAVIS O. BENTLEY, of Pattonville, in the county of Lamar and State of Texas, have invented a new and Improved Bed-Bottom, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved spring bed-bottom which is strong and durable, simple in construction, and very elastic.
The invention consists in a spring bed formed of two U shaped spring-rods or frames formed by the rods, which frames have their end pieces crossed and secured at their free ends in the opposite ends of slats. To the longitudinal pieces of the spring-frames the side edges of a piece of canvas are secured, and spiral springs are secured on the slats below the canvas.
Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the figures.
Figure 1 is a plan View of my improved bed-bottom, parts being broken out. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is an end View of the bottom frame, parts being broken out.
A bedstead, A, is provided with longitudinal slats B, on which transverse slats 0 rest, to the upper surfaces of which a series of coiled springs, D, are secured. The end transverse slats, O,are not provided with springs, and are madethicker than the other slats and of a length to fit the bed.
Two U- shaped spring-rods, E, have downward bends a at the ends of the longitudinal pieces E, and have downwardly-proj ecting prongs b at the ends of the side pieces or prongs, E of the spring-rods E.
The end slats, O, are provided near their ends with vertical apertures d, the bottoms of which are closed by metal or wood plates F, secured to the under surfaces of the slatsv O. The prongs b on the ends of the'prongs or end pieces, E, are passed into the apertures d, the ends of the prongs b resting on the plates F.
Bands or cords G are passed around the slats G, and the inner ends of the prongs or end pieces, E short distances from the bends a, to limit the upward movement of the springframes.
The spring-bars Eare so arranged that their longitudinal pieces E", which are slightly curved, are adjacent to theinner sides of the. bedstead side rails, and the prongs or end pieces, E cross each other, the ends of the prongs E being held in apertures d on that side of the bedstead opposite the one at which the piece E of the corresponding spring-rod, E, or frame formed by the same is'located.
A piece, J, of canvas or ducking, &c., has its side edges secured to the longitudinal parts E of the rods E or frames. The canvas J rests upon the springs D and is held by the frames formed by the spring-rods E, which frames hold the side edges of the canvas raised and hold the canvas taut.
Any number of springs D may be used.
The spring-bed may be used without matresses or other bedding as it is very elastic.
The parts E of the rods-E are bent outward to increase their stiffness.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent-- 1. A spring-bed formed of two U-shaped spring rods or frames having their end pieces or prongs crossed, and the ends of the prongs held in opposite ends of slats, and to which spring-frames a piece of canvas, ducking, &c., is secured, substantially as herein shown and described.
2. In a spring-bed, the combination, with two U-shaped spring rods or frames having their end pieces or prongs crossed and secured 8 5 on opposite ends of slats, of spiral springs secured on transverse slats, and of a piece of canvas or ducking having its side edges secured to the U-shaped frames or rods, substantially as herein shown and described.
3. In a spring-bed, the combination, with two U-shaped spring-rods, E, having bends a at the inner ends of their prongs E and prongs b on the outer ends of the prongs E, of the piece J, of canvas or ducking, secured 5 on the spring-rods E, substantially as herein shown and described.
4. In a spring-bed, the combination, with the slats 0, having apertures d at the ends, of
the plates F, secured on the under sides of the I00. I
slats O, and closing the lower ends of the ap- 6.v In a. spring-bed, the combination, with ertures d, the U-shaped rods E, having end the slats O, ofthe-U-shaped spring-rods E, I 5 prongs, b, which are passed-into the apertures having their longitudinal parts E bent out d, and of the canvas J, secured to the rods E, ward, the crossed prongs E on the ends of 5 substantially as herein shown and described. the parts E, and of the canvas J, having its 5. In a spring-bed, the combination, with side edges secured to the parts E of. the rods the slats 0, having apertures d, of the plates E, substantially as herein shownand described. F, the U-shaped spring-rods E, having end prongs, b, the piece of canvas J, secured on TRAVIS G. BENTLEY. IO the rods E, and of the bands or cords G, passed around the prongs of the rods E, and around \Vitnesses: the slats O, substantially as herein shown and J NO. B. STEPHENS, described. THos. H.
