GORDON .DONALDSON PETERS, OF LONDON, ENGLAND.
MATTRESS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 332,432, dated December 15, 1885.
Application filed August 18, 1885. Serial No. 174,736.
(No model.) Patented in EnglandFebruary 4, 1885, No. 1,548.
T0 all whom it may concern.:
Be it known that I, GORDON DONALDSON PE- TERs, manufacturer, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain, and a resident of London, England, have invented new and useful Improvements in Mattresses, (for which I have obtained a patent in Great Britain, No. 1,548, bearing date February 4, 1885,) of which the following is aspecification, reference being had to the accompanying drawings.
The chief object of my invention is to provide an improved mattress which will serve as an efficient substitute for the spring-mattress and stuffed mattress ordinarily used, and which will occupy less space and can be more conveniently handled than these two mattresses.
In some cases Imake my improved mattress in such a manner as to provide for the eiiectual ventilation of the bed in which it is employed.
My mattress maybe advantageously used in ships sleeping-berths or other places where it is desirable that the thickness of the bed should be as small as possible.
In the accompanying drawings I have shown how my said invention may be conveniently and advantageously carried into practice.
Figure l is a plan of one form of my im proved mattress, aportion of the cushion hereinafter described being removed. Fig. 2 is a vertical longitudinal section of the said mattress. Fig. Sisa vertical longitudinal section showing a slight modification thereof. Fig. 4 is a view of a portion of the cushion and frame, showing the hooks by which the cushion is fastened to the frame.
a a indicate springs, which are arranged in a group or series, and connected in any suitable manner to each other and to the frames a' a2. b is a thin stuffed cushion, which is covered in a similar manner to an ordinary stuffed mattress, and which is provided with a flap, b', preferably of the same material as the covering. This flap extends downward all around the said cushion, and incloses the frames a a and the group or series of springs a, arranged between the same. When my improved mattress is in place on abed, it has, therefore, eX- ternally the appearance of an ordinary mattress.
In Figs. 1 and 2 the flap b is made of such length that it will extend a short distance below the frame c2, and can be drawn in by a cord or the like, as shown at c, another cord, c', being employed, if necessary, across the cen ter of the mattress to tighten the covering at this part. The cushion b is, moreover, pr0 vided with holes or eyelets d in place of the ordinary tufts and cords for securing the two sides of the cushion together and preventing the shifting of the stuffing or padding. These holes or eyelets provide very efficiently for the ventilation of the bed in which the mattress is used.
In the mattress shown in Fig. 4 hookse are attached to the under side of the cushion b at or near its edges. By means of these hooks the said cushion is fastened upon the frame a. The cushion b of this mattress is shown with the ordinary tufts and cords. These hooks e consist of metal strips or plates, one of which is bent over, as shown, and the other end attached to the cushion b in any suitable manner. These hooks are attached to the cushion at intervals along the edges thereof, so that when the cushion is placed upon the frame c the bent ends of the hooks can be engaged with said frame and the cushion held securely in place.
Itwill be seen that, although my mattress is of about the same thickness as an ordinary spring-mattress, yet it fulfills the purposes both of a spring-mattress and a stuffed mattressthat is to say, it presents asoft cushioned surface that will yield and adapt itself to the different positions which maybe occupied by a person lying thereon.
What I claim is- 1. The combination, with the frames a a2 andlinterposed springs a, of the cushion b, provided with hooks e, attachedV at intervals along its edges, and constructed to engage with frame a/and hold the cushion securelyin place, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with the frames a a2 and interposed springs a,0f theA cushion l), hav- In testimony whereof I have hereunto signed ing a ap, b', inclosing said frames, and the my name in the presence of two 'subscribing hooks e, secured to the edges of cushion bend witnesses. Y
