UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JESSE EMMERT, OF REYNOLDS, NEBRASKA.
v BED SPRlN G -BOTTOM.
SPECIFICATION forming part. of Letters Patent No. 364,233, dated June 7, 1887 I Application filed February 7, 1857. Serial No. 226,750. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern;
Be it known that I, JEssE EMMERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Reynolds, in thecounty of Jefferson and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bed Spring-Bottoms; and I.
do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form apart of this specification.
This invention relates to bed spring-bottoms, and has for its object the construction of a spring bottom having only one end-the headsecured to the frame, and which will gradually grow more yielding from said end to the opposite or foot end.
The improvement consists in having a series of transverse bars supported upon the ends of inclined springs or springarms and in having the transverse bars connected together in any desired manner.
The in'iprovement further consists in the novel features more fully hereinafter set forth, claimed,and shown in the drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a bed-bottom embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a side view showing by dotted lines the position of the bottom depressed by the weight when placed near the head. Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 2, showing the weight placed nearer the foot. I
The bed-bottom is composed of the base and the springtop. The base comprises the series of slots A, united at the foot by the cross-bar a and at the head by the bar B, which is braced at each end by the blocks 1), set in the angle formed between it and the side slats. The transverse bars 0, supported upon the ends of the inclined springs or springarms d, are suitably connected together by the wire fabric D, although any other fabric or connection will answer the same purpose equally as well. The spring-arms incline toward the head and have their lower ends fastened in the base. There may be as many of these spring arms for each transverse bar as found neces sary, one for each slat being sufficient. They are composed of stout spring-wire, having a coil, (7, formed near their lower ends and the or arms.
arms (1 projected forward from such coils and adapted to rest upon the base and have their ends d bent downward and let into said base for holding them in position. The staples d, driven over the arms d near the coils (1, into the base, serve, in addition to the ends d", to further hold the arms or springs in place. The transverse bar at the foot is supported by the spring-extensions c of the rear or foot springs. These extensions form an integral part of the foot-springs, and are parallel with the base The head end of the fabric or connection D is connected with the headboard B.
A weight placed upon the fabric D near the head will have to overcome thecombined resistance of all the springs; consequently will 1 not depress the bottom to any great degree. The same weight placed at a greater distance from the head and in the rear of the first series of springs will have a tendency to act on those springs in the rear of the first set of springs and will depress that portion of the bed to a greater extent, and so on for any other position of the weight as the same is moved nearer the bottom.
The greatest weight of a person is near the head and theleast at the foot; hence a person resting upon a bed-bottom of my construction will have the greatest support at the head and the least at thefoot; hence the weight of the person will be equalized and great comfort will be experienced, as the springbottom will yield equally proportionately to the weight.
I am aware that it is common to construct a bed-bottom of springs which are arranged so that one portion inclines in one direction and the other portion inclines in an opposite direction, and also that said springs are connected to the side rails and head and foot of the toward the foot, substantially as and for the connected with the head of the base only, subpurpose set forth. stantially as described, and for the purpose 2. The herein shown and described bed-botspecified. tom, consisting of the combination of the base, In testimony whereof I affix my signature in 5 the inclinled springs arranged in series, the presence of two witnesses.
