MARY VVEIGHTMAN, OF NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, COUNTY OF NORTH- UMBERLAND, ENGLAND.
BEDSTEAD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 402,704, dated May '7, 1889.
Application filed October 1, 1888, Serial No. 286,862 (No model.) Patented in England January 21, 1888, N0. 945.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, lVIARY WEIGHTMAN, a subject of the Queen of Great Britain and Ireland, and a resident of Newcastleupon- Tyne, county of Northumberland, England, have invented certain Improvements in Table-Bedsteads, (for which I have obtained a British Patent, N o. 945, dated January 21, 1888,) of which the following is a specification.
My invention has for its object an article of furniture which can be readily adapted for use either as a bedstead or as a table, and I attain this object by the design illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional elevation of framing erected and arranged for use as a bedstead. Fig. 2 is a half-plan of the same on lineWX in Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a crosssection on line Y Z in Fig. 1; and the right and left hand portions in Fig. 4 represent, respectively, a half-longitudinal section and a half-longitudinal elevation of my invention as arranged when in use as a table. Fig. 5 is a small side view of the bed, showing the curtains and Vallance.
Similar letters refer to similar parts th roughout the several views.
a a are the legs of the table or bedstead; b b, the side and end frames, to which the auxiliary pieces 0 c are attached.
6 e f f are internal ties to the external frame, and within the internal frame formed by the ties the box g with lid g is fitted, for the purpose of holding the bedclothes when the structure is in use as a table.
z is the :head-frame when used as a bed, and the table-top itself when used as a table. This head-frame 1 is centered 011 hinges attached to the bedstead at In, so that it can revolve on this center, as shown by the dotted lines is. The portionl of the head-frame z'is centered on hinges at Z, so that it can revolve on this center, as shown by dotted line Z and thus act as a canopy to the bed in the one case and as a portion of the table-surface in the other. When Z is used as a canopy, it is supported by brackets 1 which can be hinged, as shown at Z to the under side of the frame 1 so as to open out or shut up against the same, as desired, and when the frame 2' is used as a head-frame to a bedstead it is strengthened and stiffened in position by'means of the brackets Z hinged at Z in such a manner as to enable them to open out or shut up, substantially as described in reference to the brackets Z and to further secure rigidity a small slide-bolt, m, may be fitted, as shown in the drawings, to lock or unlock the bracket Z to the side frame, I), and the brackets Z and Z when closed, assume the position shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3 and partly in full and partly in sectional lines in Fig. 4c.
The pieces 0 are made lower than the sides I), and the frames 6 and f are joined to pieces 0, so as to present a level surface even with the top of the cover g, and afford a suitable support and space for the mattress n, (indicated by the dotted lines in Fig. 1.) The box g is much deeper than the pieces a, and the frames 6 and f are also deeper than pieces 0, where they have the box 9 secured to them. The ends of frames 6 and fare tapered, so as to join onto pieces 0, and the said frames hold the box g under the center of the table, so as to clear the legs of persons seated at it.
l/Vhat I claim is 1. In a table -bedstead, the combination, with the outer frames, 1), of the pieces 0, lower than the said outer frames and secured against their inside surfaces, the crossed frames e and f, for supporting the mattress, provided with tapering ends and secured with their tops level with the tops of said pieces 0 at some distance within the outer frame and parallel with the respective sides of it to which they are opposite, and the head-frame hinged to the outer frame and adapted to fold down upon and inclose the mattress and form the top of the table, substantially as set forth.
2. In a table bedstead, the combination, with the outer frames, 1), of the pieces 0, lower than said outer frames and secured against their inside surfaces, the crossed frames 6 and f, for supporting the mattress, provided with tapering ends and secured with their tops level with the tops of said pieces 0' at some distance within the said outer frame and parallel with. the respective sides of it to which 10 they are opposite, the deep central box, 9, se- In testimony whereof Ihave signed my name cured between said fram es e and f and proto this speeificationin the presence of two subvided with a removable cover level with the scribing witnesses.
top of said frames, and the head-frame hinged MARY \VEIGHTMAN. to the outer frame and adapted to fold down \Vitnesses:
