BEDSTEAD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 556,404, dated March 17, 1896.
Application filed $eptember 3, 1895. Serial No. 561,311. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that 1, JOHN R. DEIHM, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Pottsville, in the county of Schuylkill and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bedsteads; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification.
My invention relates to bedsteads in which the bed-bottom and mattress may be elevated to the ceiling when found desirable; and its object is to provide an improved bottom, an improved mattress therefor, and an improved hinged head-rest, which may be adjusted according to requirements.
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.
I11 the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a side elevation of a bedstead constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is aplan View, the mattress being removed, showing the bed-bottom. Fig. 4 is a detail view of the sleeve connected with the bedbottom.
In the said drawings, the reference-numeral 1 designates the legs, which extend some distance above the bottom thereof and are connected together by side rails, 2, and cross rails, 3.
The numeral 4: designates a rectangular frame, comprising side boards, 5, and end boards, 6, the side rails being formed at each end with extensions 7, which rest upon the cross-rails Near one end there is secured to the side rails or boards, 5, a cross-bar 8, to which is secured a plate 9, formed with an opening 10 to receive a vessel hereinafter described.
Secured to the end boards of the frame 4. and also to the cross-bar 8 are a number of coiled springs 9 and 10, the springs 10 being connected by links 12. These springs constitute the bed-bottom and head-rest.
Hinged to the side rails, 2, is a frame 13, comprising the sides 14 and transverse headboard 15, and secured to the latter are coiled springs 16, which are also secured to the crossbar 8. Secured to the sides 14 are segmental plates 17 formed with slots 18, through which projects a stud 19, secured to the sides 2. These plates, on their curved edges, are provided with a number of lugs 20, with which engage spring-actuated dogs 21, working in casings 23, secured to the side rails, 2, so that when the frame 13 is adjusted it will be held in such position by said dogs.
The side rails, 2, at each end are provided with apertured lugs 24, with which engage hooks 25, secured to cords or ropes 26, which pass around pulleys 27, secured to the ceiling of the room, and the ends are secured to a roller secured to the side of the room and provided with a ratchet and crank. A pawl engages with the ratchet to prevent backward movement of the roller.
The numeral 29 designates the mattress, which may be of any ordinary or suitable construction and is formed with an aperture 30, within which is seated a sleeve or cylinder 31. This sleeve seats in another sleeve 31, connected with the bed-bottom and provided at its upper end with an annular flange 32.
The sleeve 31 is provided with studs 34, which engage with bayonet-slots 35 in the upper end of the sleeve 33. This sleeve is to be used when the bed is used for invalids and is removable, so that it can be emptied of its contents.
The manner of using the invention will be readily understood. \Vhen used as an invalids bed the receptacle or vessel for carrying off or conveying away emissions from the occupant is inserted. When not employed as an invalids bed the vessel can be removed and the opening filled up bya stuffing of any suitable material. The head-rest can be adjusted to suit the comfort or convenience of the occupant, and when the bed is not in use it can be elevated out of the way by turning the shafts to which the ropes or cords are secured.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim is 1. The combination with a bedstead, of the rectangular frame, the cross-bar, the coiled springs connected therewith the links, the adjustable head-rest, the coiled springs con- IOO nected therewith and with the cross-bar, the slotted segment-plates provided with peripheral lugs, the pins or studs engaging therewith and the spring-actuated dogs, substantially as described.
2. In a bedstead the combination with the side and end boards, the intermediate transverse bar, the adjustable head-rest, the coiled springs connected therewith and with said transverse bar, the coiled springs connected with said bar and With the head end board, the coiled springs connected with said bar and with the foot end bar, the rectangular plate with a circular opening secured to said bar and the coiled springs connected therewith and with the foot end board, of the mat- JOHN R. DEIIIM. \Vitnesses H. K. VVEsToN, HOWARD W. WESTON.
