PILLOW-SHAM AND SCREEN HOLDER.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Iletters Patent N0. 392,933, dated November 13, 1888.
Application filed June 2? IFES. Serial No. 278. 171. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, EnsoN H. Rose, a citizen of the United States, residing at Worcester, in the county of \Vorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Combined Pillow-Sham and Screen Holders, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to a combined pillowsham and screen holder, having for its object to provide a device which may be employed to support a pillow-sham during the day and may be arranged at night to supporta mosquito screen, if desired; and it consists in a certain novel construction and combination of devices, fully described and specifically claimed hereinafter in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein- Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved holder applied in the operative position to the head-board of a bedstead. Fig. 2 is a front view of the same raised out of the way, the pillow-sham being omitted in this view to show the construction of the holder. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of the holder in the raised position. Fig. 4 isa similar view thereof in the operative position. Fig. 5 is a similar view thereof when arranged to support a screen. Fig. 6 is a detail view of one of the brackets and the lower end of the swinging arm pivoted thereto. Fig. 7 is a detail View of the same with the parts detached.
Referring by letter to the drawings, A designatesthe head of a bedstead, to which the improved holder is attached. ]3 B designate brackets, which are affixed to'the said head and are provided with the registering eyes I) b,- and O O designate swinging arms, which are provided with the registering eyes 0 0, aligning with the eyes I) b, and mounted on the pins or bolts D l), which are arranged in the said eyes I) Z).
E represents a folding frame, which consists of the top bar, F, provided near its ends with the eyes or staples ff, the lower bar, F, and the intermediate bar, F", which are connected together at their ends by the end bars, F. The bars F, F, and F are extensible, to enable the folding frame to be applied to a bed of any desired width, and they consist, re spectively, of two separate sections which are adapted to slide on each other. The bars F and F consist, respectively, of the sections 9 and g, the overlapping inner ends of which are provided with sliding eyes, and the top bar consists of the sections 9 g, with bores g g, in which the extension-bar g fits. The intermediate bar, F", is mounted at its ends in eyes 0 c on the upper ends of the swinging arms 0 0, whereby the frame may be arranged on either side of the arms 00; and the swinging arms are further provided with the lateral studs 0* near their lower ends, to which are attached the outer ends of the contractile springsHI-I. The oppositeendsofthesprings II are attached to the head of the bedstead, and when the holder is raised to the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3 the springs hold it tightly against the head of the bedstead. When in this position, it will be seen that the top bar of the folding frame bears against the head A and the lower bar bears against the outer side of the arms 0 0, thereby preventing the said folding frame from dropping out of the position shown in the above-mentioned figures.
The above-mentioned registering eyes I) I) are formed on the outer ends of the brackets 13 and are connected by the bars I), and the registering eyes 0 c,which are formed on the inner ends of the arms O,are connected by the bars 0, the bar I) being shorter than the bar a, so that the eyes I) are closer together than the eyes 0, and therefore fit between the latter.
The pins or bolts D pass horizontally through the registering eyes I) and c to pivot the inner ends of the swinging arms to the brackets,and springs I I are coiled on the said pins or bolts and extend between the eyes b b. The inner ends of the springs I are extended to form the hooks L t", which are permanently engaged with the bars 0 at the lower ends oftheswinging arms, whereby as the said arms are swung around the pins or bolts as centers the springs I rotate on the said pins or bolts. The outer ends of the springs are extended to form the arms or extensions it, which also swing around the pins or rot-ate thereon. The bars b of the brackets are within the radius of the arms or extensions 6, and therefore when the swinging arms 0 are depressed to the horizontal position shown in Fig. 5 the arms or extensions come in contact with the under sides of the bars and check the rotation of the coiled springs I. If the depression of the swinging armsis continued, the springs I are necessarily twisted or tightened, and therefore have atendency to raise the swinging arms again to their horizontal position.
As before described,when the swinging arms are above the horizontal position shown in Fig. 5, they are drawn toward the'head of the bed above the brackets by the springs H, and it is obvious that when the said arms are below the horizontal position the said springs will tend to draw them toward the head of the bed below the brackets; but in the latter case the contractile strength of the springs H is re sisted and counterbalanced by the torsional strength of the springs I, and therefore the swinging arms are held in equilibrium.
It is evident that the swinging arms may be arranged in any desired position below the horizontal, and they will be held in that position without securing devices.
A tape, K, is attached to the top bar of the folding frame by passing it through staples or keepers k is thereon,and the pillow-shams L L are adapted to be stitched or pinned to this tape to attach them to the folding frame.
Fig. 5 shows the swinging arms arranged horizontally over the upper portion of the bed and the folding frame bearing thereon in a po sition to support a screen of any preferred character or shape, and the parts are held in these relative positions by hooks M M, which are mounted on the head of the bedstead and are engaged in the eyes or staples ff on the top bar of the folding frame.
The operation and advantages of this im proved device will now be readily appreciated. It may be arranged at any desired inclination to support the pillow-sham. It is held firmly in the raised position, and the sham which is attached thereto hangs freely, so that there is no danger of creasing or in any way spoiling the same. It may be readily and securely arranged in the horizontal position to support a screen over the head and shoulders of the occupant of the bed.
I Having thus described the invention, I claim--- 1. In a pillow-sham holder, the combination of the swinging arms provided at their free ends with bearings, the folding frame provided with an intermediate bar which is mounted in the said bearings, and having eyes or staples on its top bar, and the hooks on the headboard to engage the said eyes or staples to maintain the folding frame in a horizontal position, substantially as specified.
2. In a pillow-sham holder, the combination, with the brackets having transverse pins or bolts, of the swinging arms mounted on the pins or bolts, the folding frame mounted on the swinging arms, the contractile springs connecting intermediate points of the swinging arms to the headboard, and the springs I I, coiled on the said pins or bolts and connected to the swinging arms, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
3. In a pillow-sham holder, the combination of the brackets B B, provided at their outer ends with the registering eyes I) I), having the pins or bolts D D arranged therein, the swing ing arms 0 0, provided at their inner ends with the eyes 0 c, registering with the eyes I) Z), and mounted on the said pins or bolts, the folding frame E, mounted on the outer ends of the swinging arms, the contractile springs H H, connected to the swinging arms, and the springs I I, coiled on the pins or bolts D D, provided with arms or extensions ii, and connected at their opposite ends, respectively, to the swinging arms, whereby, when the swinging arms are below the horizontal position, the coiled springs I oppose the contractile springs H and hold the arms in the desired position, substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony thatI claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.
EDSON H. ROSE.
