WILLIAM J. MYERS, OF HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT.
BEDSTEAD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 340.1%7, dated April 20, 1886.
Application filed August 19, 1885.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. times, of Hartford, in the county of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bedsteads, whereof the following is a description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, where- Figure 1 is a view of a corner portion of a bedstead embodying my said improvement.
Fig. 2 is a detail view giving a horizontal section of the end rail, corner-iron, and supporting-post in a plane identical with the axis of the clamping-bolt.
This improvement relates to bedsteads. Perhaps in greater strictness it may be said to relate to bedstead-frames, the general nature of which is illustrated and described in Letters Patent issued to me March 21, 1882, N 0. 255,322.
In the accompanying drawings, a denotes the side rails of a bedstead-frame. 1) denotes the end rails, and 0 denotes a corner-plate or corner-iron, which serves as a medium for uniting the side rails and end rails at the corners of the frame.
A woven-wire or other suitable mattress fabric is attached in a suitable manner to the frame, which is composed of the end rails and side rails.
Theletter 6 denotes the supporting-posts for the bedstead-frame, preferably made of round iron pipe, though of course they may be made of bar metal, if desired.
f denotes clamping-hooks for attaching the frame to the posts. These clamping-hooks run through the corner-irons c, and preferably through the side rails, and at the inner end are threaded and provided with nut g. The outer end encircles the post 6. Such post is provided with a vertical series of sunken sockets, h, and on the inner side of the hook, which forms the outer end of the clampingbolt, there is a stud, i, fitting to such sunken sockets.
It will be readily understood that by screwing up the nuts gthe bedstead-frame is drawn firmly to contact with the supporting-posts,
Serial No. 174,790. (No model.)
and among the advantages appurtenant to the improvement herein described over the improvement described in my said former putent are- First. The present construction is much the cheaper. The entire cost of the four separate ratchets or notched bars and of their attachment to the posts (as by riveting) is saved in the present mode of construction.
Second. The four separate ratchets of my former patent must be very thin, (unless made so large and thick as to cause the whole structure to be unsalable,) and they are in practice often broken by the great strain which is put upon them in tightening the clamping-bolts. This difficulty is entirely cured in the present construction.
Third. The crevices formed by the attachment of the ratchets to the bed-posts in the device of my former patent make convenient retreats for vermin. These crevices are-entirely done away with in the present construction.
Fourth. In the construction shown in my said former patent it is evident that each interval of adjustment must be very considerable, at least equal to the diameter of the clamping-bolt and the reach of metal which divides one notch from another. In the present construction the intervals of adjustment can be and are made very close together.
Fifth. The present construction is much more sightly than the construction shown in my said former patent, by reason of the studs which enter the sockets being entirely hidden from sight.
Sixth. In practice the attachment of the bed-frame to the corner-posts is much closer and firmer than in the construction shown in my said former patent.
I am made aware of Letters Patent for bedsteads to G. Griesche, No. 176,299, dated April 5 The substitution of these 18, 1876. I do not claim the construction shown and described in that patent as my imvention.
I claim as my improvement- In combination, the bed-posts 6, provided with the sunken sockets h, made in the substance bhereof, the corner-iron c of the bedframe, and the clamping-bolts f, fitting directly against; the bedp0sts, and having the stud 7 inside the hook thereof fitting to said to sockets, all substantially as described, and for the purposes set forth.
WVILLIAM J. MYERS. Vitnesses:
WM. E. SIMONDS,
A. G. TANNER.
