UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
BENJAMIN E. LECKRON, OF GLENFORD, OHIO, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO ALFRED OASTANIEN, OF SAME PLACE.
SPRING-BED.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 411,343, dated September 17, 1889.
Application filed May 18, 1889. Serial No. 311,255. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern: sectional view of the spring and slides for Be it known that I, BENJAMIN E. LECKRON, connecting the ends of the supporting-frame, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of and Fig. is a detail view of one of the slides. Glenford, in the county of Perry and State of Referring to the drawings, A designates the 5 Ohio, have invented certain new and useful frame of a bed, in each end of which is Improvements in Spring-Beds; andI do heremounted, in suitable bearings formed in the by declare that the following is a full, clear, sides of the frame, aroller 1,provided on each and exact description of the invention, which end with a ratchet-wheel 2, designed to be enwill enable others skilled in the art to which gaged by pawls 3, also secured to the frame of 10 it appertains to make and use the same, refthe bed. Upon these rollers is secured the erence being had to the accompanying drawwire mattress 41, of the ordinary construction ings, which form a part of this specification. as those used in other forms of spring-beds.
This invention relates to spring-beds Under the wire mattress is a supporting-frame The object is to produceaspringbed which E, constructed of metallic straps 5, connected I 5 shall be of such construction that any sagat their ends by spring-actuated slides 6. As ging of the wire mattress, caused by the longthis supporting-frame forms one of the essencontinued use of the bed, may be taken up, tial features of my invention,I will explain it and thus present at all. times a level surface minutely As before stated, it is constructed for the bedding to rest upon; furthermore, of metallic straps 5, of which a number ex- 20 to produce a bed in which the spring-mattress tend longitudinally to the frame of the bed, is supported by an auxiliary frame placed unand are connected at their centers by a crossder the same, so that the bed maybe adapted strap '7, which holds them together. Both to sustain different weights, and, finally, to ends of the longitudinal straps are provided produce a spring-bed which may be conwith perforations 8, in which are secured the 25 structed at but a slight expense and which ends 9 of the slides 6. These slides, as will will be found of the highest efficiency and dube seen, are U-shaped, and the loops 10 pass rability in use. around the ends 11 of the coiled spring 12,
With these objects in view the invention which ends are bent across the openings at consists in a spring-bed provided with means each end. Thus when pressure is exerted on 0 whereby any sagging of the mattress may be the support these springs will give; but as so taken up. soon as the pressure is removed therefrom Furthermore, the invention consists in the the springs will resume their normal position improved construction and combination of and thus draw the support to the position it parts of a spring-bed, as will be hereinafter first occupied. As now presented, the mat- 3 5 fully described in the specification, illus tress is above the supporting-frame and has 8 5 trated in the drawings, and pointed out in no connection with it, and in order to make the claim. the two coact when strain is applied thereto a In the accompanying drawings, forming number of cone-shaped spiral springs 13 are part of this specification, and in which like secured to the straps and rest against the un- 0 letters of reference indicate corresponding der surface of the mattress and are so arparts, Figure 1 is a plan view showing the ranged at different points on the mattress as mattress in place in a bed-frame, part of the to present the greatest resistance where the same being broken away. Fig. 2 is alongitudigreatest strain is applied. nal sectional view of the supporting-frame de- Now, it will be readily seen that when the 45 tached from the bed, showing the peculiar mattress is occupied and the coiled springs construction of the same. Fig. 3 is a detail under the mattress are compressed the springs perspective view of one of the springs, which connecting on the straps will also be drawn are to be secured to the supporting-frame and apart, thus presenting'a mattress which while the mattress for giving additional supportinghaving the requisite and necessary resiliency 50 power to the same. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal for comfort will be prevented from any bear- 10o in g down in the center by means of the springs before referred to, and that as soon as the mattress is released from strain the coiled springs immediately force the mattress up to its normal position and at the same time the springs on the straps in resuming their normal position Will also tend to produce the same result. Now, after a long-continued use should the 4 Wires composing the mattress sag in the center it will only be necessary to turn the rollers 1 at the end of the frame and thus take up any slack or bagging of the mattress.
It will thus be seen that although this device is exceedingly simple of construction it will be found to possess advantages not heretofore attained in mattresses of this peculiar kind.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is
In a spring-bed, the combination, with the frame, of rollers mounted therein carrying ratchet-wheels, pawls pivoted to the said frame and adapted to engage the ratchet- Wheels, longitudinally extending metallic strips provided With perforations, the terminal strips having one of their ends secured to the rollers,connecting U -shaped slides having their loops arranged adjacent to each other and also having one of their ends extended and bent downwardly, said downwardlydoent ends engaging the perforations of the metallic strips, coiled springs placed around the slides, having their ends bent at right angles to engage the opposite ends of the loops of the ad- 3' acent slides, coneshaped springs having th eir apices secured to the metallic strips, and a mattress secured to the rollers above the supporting-frame and also bearing upon the base of the conical springs, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereunto at'fixed my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
