SPRING-BED.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 541,873, dated July 2, 1895.
Application filed October 22, 1894. Serial No. 526,533. (No model.)
To aZZ whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, JAMES H. OCONNOR, of Boston, in the county of Suifolk and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Spring-Beds, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates particularly to supporting-frames adapted for use in connection with iron bedsteads to support in its proper place a spring-bed of ordinary construction.
The invention has for its object to provide a simple, strong, and efficient spring-bed supporting-frame adapted to be quickly applied to and removed from a bedstead and to afford a support for the spring-bed which will not be liable to sag at its central portion, and which can be applied to or removed from the bedstead without liability of marriug the frame-work of the latter above the end-rails which support the spring-bed.
The invention consists in the improvements which I will now proceed to describe and claim.
Of the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a perspective view of my improved springbed supporting-frame removed from the bedstead. Fig. 2 represents a perspective view of a portion of said frame and a portion of the bedstead to which it is applied. Fig. 3
represents a perspective view of a portion of one of the sections of the supporting-frame. Fig. 4 represents a perspective view showing a portion of the supporting-frame and a portion of a spring-bed attached thereto.
The same letters and numerals of reference indicate the same parts in all the figures.
In carrying out my invention, I construct a spring-bed supporting-frame in two sections 0. a, each made entirely independent of the other and each made to extend lengthwise of the bedstead. Each section comprises an outer side-bar 2, an inner side-bar 3, and cross-pieces which are riveted at their ends to the side-bars 2 3 and are adapted to sup port a spring-bed. Each cross-bar is preferably composed of a metal strip 4 bent into the form of an oblong frame the ends of which are riveted to the side-bars 2 3; while the sides are connected by a series of braces 5 which are or may be provided with threaded holes to receive the screws 6 (Fig. 4) that attach the spring-supporting slats 7 of an ordi nary spring-bed to said braces, the latter having screw-holes 8 to receive said screws 6..
To the outer side-bars 2 are fixed upwardly projecting hooks 9 formed to engage the siderails 10 of a bedstead. To the end portions of the inner side-bars 3 are connected hooks 12 12 which are adapted to engage the end rails 13 of the bedstead. The inner side-bars 3 are preferably bent at their ends to extend along the outer sides of the cross-bars 4 constituting the ends of the sections, the hooks 12 being connected to the bent ends of said inner side-bars, as shown clearly in Fig. 1. The books 12 are connected to the sections by hinges 14 which enable the hooks to swing inwardly, as indicated in Fig. 3, thus avoiding contact with the exposed portions 15 of the bedstead above the end-rail 13 when the supporting-frame sections are being applied to and removed from the bedstead.
Each of the hooks above described is preterably bent at its lower end to form a hook extending under and up the inner side of the piece to which it is riveted.
It will be seen that when the sections a a spring-bed support which is practically unity to sag or settle at the center of the bedstead, the weight supported by the frame sections being distributed between the side and end rails of the bedstead and partially sus- .tained by the end hooks 12 and by the inner side-rails 3. By this improvement, the cross bars 4 are made very much shorter than they would be if the supporting-frame were divided into sections extending crosswise of the bedstead, in which case each cross-bar4 would extend continuously entirely across the bedstead and would be much more liable to sag at the center of the width of the bedstead than with the improved construction here shown.
The spring-bed may rest loosely upon the frame sections above described, or it may be detachably secured thereto as by the screws 6 above described.
In Fig. 4, I show a suitable construction of spring-bed for use with my improved supporting-frame, said construction comprising the transverse slats 7, the longitudinal slats are applied to a bedstead, they constitute a yielding at all points and is free from liabil 17, and the springs 18 attached at their lower ends to said slats and projecting upwardly therefrom. 19 19 represent the two sections of a marginal frame which is connected to the outer springs and extends entirely around the spring-bed, said sections being connected 'at the longitudinal center of the bed by a hinge joint composed of interlocking eyes 20 20 formed on the sections 19. This is a common construction of spring-bed.
I claim Aspring-bed supporting-frame composed of two sections extending lengthwise of thevbed and each comprising outer longitudinal sidebars, inner longitudinal side-bars, cross-bars attached to the side-bars and adapted to support a spring-bed, side hooks on the outer JAMES H. OCONNOR,
