JOHN B. HOWELL, OF LOCUST, NEBRASKA.
BED-SLAT SUPPORT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 434,132, dated August 12, 1890.
Application filed September 25, 1889- Serial No. 324,983. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JOHN B. HOWELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Locust, in the county of Franklin and State of Nebraska, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bed-Slat Supports; 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 of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to a device for securing slats to bedsteads, so that they cannot slide sidewise out of place or drop at one end and thus displace the slat entirely; and it has for its object to simplify the means by which such objects are attained so as to make them cheaper to manufacture, stronger and more durable in use, and adapted to be applied to any bed already in use, and to be attached ;vi1)thout theuse of specialimplements or skilled a or.
To the accomplishment of such ends the invention consists in the construction and combination of parts hereinafter particularly described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part hereof.
Figure 1 is a perspective View showing the bracket attached to side rail of bed and cap detached therefrom. Fig. 2 is a side view with the side rail in section and the cap applied to the bracket.
In the drawings, the letter A indicates a bracket composed of the vertical flange B, adapted to lie against the side rail of the bedstead and formed with the holes 0 for the passage of securing-screws, and the horizontal flange B, adapted .to rest on the top of the usual auxiliary side rail and be secured thereto by screws passed through the holes D. The horizontal flange of the bracket is also formed near each end with an upright pin E, which pins are preferably set back from the front edge of the flange, so as to leave a projecting lip F. The other portion of the support is composed of a cap G, having a flat bottom H, side flanges I, and a transverse plate or bar J, said, bar or plate forming a recess into which will fit the end of the slat 0, while the slat will restupon the bottom H and be secured thereto by a screw or pin passed through the hole K into the slat. The transverse plate J will serve to hold the slat in place, because when the caps are slipped onto the ends of the slat and then placed in position on the brackets A the cross-plates will hold the slat and prevent it from being lifted or jolted from under the plates. This cap is supported on the bracket A by the rear extension L, having sockets M to receive the pins E, which fit up into the sockets and thus detachably secure the cap to the bracket. These socketsM are preferably formed in the ends of the extension.with one side open, so that the cap can be easily guided to its place Whether the cap be placed squarely over the pins or not in setting them in place. On the under side of the cap is formed a depression or groove N, designed to receive the proj ecting-lip F of the bracket, and thus bring the top of the cap down to the plane of the top of the pins and also affording a horizontal as well as a vertical rest or bearing for the cap on the bracket, and to that extent bracing the connection between the two and making them stronger.
The bed-slat support as thus constructed is cheap to manufacture as well as made stronger, and at the same time lighter than other constructions. It is also easy'to adjust, and can be applied by the most inexperienced help and will most securely hold the slat to its place.
Having thus described my invention and set forth its merits, what I claim is- 1. The cap formed with the bottom H,having side flanges I, connected together at their rear upper edges by cross-piece J to form a socket to inclose and hold the end of a slat, and provided at opposite sides with vertical sockets to receive pins, in combination with a bracket A, having upright pins E to enter the side sockets of the cap, substantially as and for the purposes set forth.
2. The cap formed with the bottom H, havsockets of the cap, substantially as and for ing side flanges I, connected together at their the purposes set forth. I 0
rear upper edges by cross-piece J to form a socket to inclose and hold the end of a slat, and provided at opposite sides with vertical sockets open on their outer sides, as shown, to receive pins, in combination with a bracket A, having upright pins E to enter the side In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
