OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
WARDROBE-BEDSTEAD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 468,368, datedFebruary 9, 1892.
Application filed April 3, 1891.
To @ZZ whom it may concern:
Ile it known that I, WILLIAM D. SNYDER, of Chicago, in the State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Folding Bedsteads, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to foldin g or wardrobe bedsteads generally; and the object of my improvements is to adapt a spring to the bedframe for counteracting the weight oi' the foot end thereof in order to make the closing of the bed easy. This object I have attained by the spring constructed and connected with the bed-frame and standard in the manner illustrated in the accompanying drawings,in which* Figure l is a vertical central section of a combination cabinet folding bedstead containing my invention, the bed being closed. Fig. 2 is a like viewof the same construction of the bedstead open. Fig. 3 is a detail showing the spring and a portion of the link for connecting the bed-frame to the standard, as Viewed in side elevation. Fig. 4 is a detail showing the means for attaching the spring to the bed-frame, in connection with a portion of the same link, as viewed in rear elevation.
In the drawings, A designates the standard, which is of ordinary constructiomhaving the front part designed for a wardrobe-case and the rear part adapted to receive the bedrame.
B is the bed-frame, which is connected to the standard by swinging links C, pivoted to the standard at their upper ends on each side and to the side rails of the bedframe near their lower ends. The head end of the bedframe is provided with a Wheel c on each side, adapted to roll up and down on tracks or ways c on the standard in an ordinary manner. There is also shown a rod D connected with the lower end of the link and with a hinged foot-leg D on each side of the bed-frame, wl1ich,with the link and its arrangement relative to the bed-frame, as here shown, forms the subject of a claim in my now pending application for a patent for folding or combination cabinetbedstead, filed in the United States Patent Office February 6, ISQO, Serial No. 339,436.
A pin or short journal a is placed through a Serial No. 387,560. (No model.)
hole in each of the side rails of the bed-frame as the pivot for the bed to tu rn on. The outer end of said pin is provided with au opening or groove at c', in which the link C is placed. The inner end of said pin is provided with a head a2, and in said headare slots e. The springs E, one on each side, have a short bend e at one end, by which they are adapted to be entered into one of the slots e and be thereby secured, so that the spring can be wound 0r coiled around the head of said pin. The opposite end c2 of each spring is extended forward toward the head end of the bed-frame and rested on the cross-rai1 F or otherwise secured in such manner as to hear down on the head end of the bed-frame. The end at c of the spring may be secured in the slots of the head bya plate e3, placed over the saine and held by a bolt G, passed through a bol'e in said pin, as shown in dotted lines, Fig. 4. The tension ot' the spring may be adapted to the weight of the bed by shifting the end in the slots e, a plurality of said slots being provided for that purpose. The pins are attached rigidly to the links C, so that they do not revolve with the bed-frame, and the latter, revolving on the pins, tighten the springs by the operation of letting the bed down,.so that their relaxation will assist in closing the same, The swinging oi' the links by the operation of opening and closing of the bed also has a similar eect on the springs by means of the ro tary eiect which such operation imparts to said pins on account of their rigid connection with said links. lVith this construction, arrangement, and connection of the parts the pressure of the spring can be adj usted readily t0 the bed, so as to balance the same Without a counterpoise-Weight on the head end of the bed-frame, and the wheels c, in connection with the usual depressions in the tracks c' at the point where said wheels come to a rest when the bed is fully open, operate as a suiiicient check against its being accidentally closed.
What is claimed isl. In afolding bedstead and in combination with the standard and bed-f rame, links C, pivoted to the standard at their upper ends, pins a, passing through holes in the side rails of the bed-traine and connected rigidly with said IOO links, and springs E, having one end secnred to said pins and the other end bearing on the bed-frame, substantially as specified.
E, having one end adapted to be secured in 1o the slots of said pin-heads and to have the other end'bearing on the bed-frame, substantially as specified.
