LEWIS MORRISON, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
FOLDING BED-STEAD.
$PECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent 110.342.756, dated May 25, 1886.
Application filed March 20, 1886. Serial No. 195,971. (No model.) I
To (LZZ whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, Lnwrs E. MORRISON, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Folding Bedsteads, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
This invention relates to what are known as upright or wardrobe folding bedsteads-that is, bedsteads which when folded up occupy an upright position, and then resemble a wardrobe or other like piece of furniture.
The invention consists in a novel and advair tageous system of balancing devices, including levers or pivoted legs applied to thebody of the bedstead and connected with a counter balance weight or weights in the upright portion or head of the bedstead, substantially as hereinafter described.
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 both the figures.
Figure 1 represents a side elevation of the bedstead closed, and Fig. 2 a vertical section of the same in direction of its length when open.
A indicates the upright portion or head of the bedstead, and B the body or bed part,which latter may be ofornamental construction, and, if desired, be provided with a mirror, I), as usual, upon its under surface, so that when closed up the whole structure will have the appearance of a closed wardrobe with an exposed mirror or mirrors in front. The ornamental character of the structure, however, may be varied at pleasure, and this applies both to the head part A and bed part or body B.
Pivoted to the sides of the body of the bedstead, as at 0, although not necessarily exposedflas here shown, are what may be termed auxiliary legs or levers, O G, the pivots 0 being intermediate of thelength of said legs and at a considerable distance from or in advance of the pivots (1, connecting the parts A and B, and upon which the partB is hung and swings. These levers rest at their one endupon the door of the apartment, and may be fitted with rollers e, to ride easily over the floor. They are connected at their opposite end by a rope or flexible connection, f, arranged to pass over a pulley or pulleys, g, in the top of the upright part A, with a weight, D, which is free to rise and fall within the part A or pockets therein, and which forms the counter-balance of the body B. Usually a separate weight, D, will be applied to each lever O C, but not necessarily so, as the flexible connection or connections f might be made to carry a single weight, instead of dividing the counter-balance,which is immaterial. Both levers may be connected at their forward ends by a cross-bar, h, to make them work in unison.
The front portion of the bodyB is provided with main legs i, to free the mirrorb or under surface of the body B from contact with the levers C (l, and to give'an advance support to the body. The levers O 0 always resting at their one end upon the floor and connecting at their opposite ends with the counter-bah ance, and being pivoted to the body at a considerable distance from the pivots d, on which the body B swings, a very much lighter counter-balance will suffice to hold the body B in equilibrium than where the counter-balance connection is a direct one with the body near its supporting-pivot, which is the usual construction, a powerful leverage for the action of the weight being secured under the improved construction here shown, as also a balancing action for the body of the bedstead during the raising and lowering of it, which makes it more convenient to handle.
The reduction in weight of the necessary counter-balance not only saves expense, but facilitates the handling and moving about of the whole structure, and when the bedstead is closed a much narrower base for the upright A suffices without any liability of the structure to topple over, the auxiliary legs or levers O G then serving as an advance or outer support.
-I am aware that folding bedsteads of the cabinet or wardrobe kind havebeen made in which the mattress-support or folding body part has been provided with pivoted legs controlled by a coiled spring having its one end attached to said mattress-support and its other end to the pivoted legs or pivot-rod connecting said legs. Such construction and combination of parts I neither use nor claim.
Having thus fully described my invention,
ICO
I claim as new and desire to secure by Letflexible connection or connections f and the ters Patentweight or weights D, carried hythe stationary [0 In an upright or wardrobe folding bedstead, upright or head part A, essentially as and for the combination, with the upright or head the purposes herein set forth.
5 part A and its hinged or pivoted body part LEWIS E. MORRISON.
B, of the auxiliary legs or levers C C, pivoted WVitnesses: intermediately of their length to said body A. GREGORY, between the front and rear ends thereof, the EDGAR TATE.
