PETER JERIWIAIN, OF SCHOOL HILL, WISCONSIN, ASSIGNOR OF ONE-HALF TO GUSTAVUS HAKE, OF MANITOWOO COUNTY, WISCONSIN.
INVALID-BED.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 587,7 36, dated August 10, 1897.
Application filed January 27, 1897. Serial No. 620,919. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that 1, PETER J ERMAIN, a citizen of the United States, residing at School Hill, in the county of Manitowoc and State of Wisconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Invalid-Bedsteads; 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.
The special object of the invention is to make a bedstead which may be conveniently and quickly converted into a chair by the invalid himself without the exertion of much muscular force.
Figure 1 of the drawings is a side elevation showing the bedstead ready to receive the bed, which is preferably made in three sections jointed together; and Fig. 2 is a plan view. Fig. 3 is a side elevation showing the bedstead converted into an invalid-chair; Fig. 4, an enlarged side elevation, and Fig. 5 an enlarged rear elevation.
In the drawings, A represents the head and foot of the bedstead, both being pivoted on an end-threaded rod B and held at right anglos to the bed-bottom by a clamp-screw b.
D are the usual cross-slats, of which two are on the foot-section E, four on the headsection E, and three on two side pieces F, suspended by eyes f from two cross-rods G, one cross-rod securing each section pivotally to a supporting-frame H. The two sections E E are connected with each other by the frame H and also by the toggles I I, which, when in alinement, rest on'the sides of the frame H. The toggles I also serve as arms for the chair, while the head of bedstead is turned so as to form the back and the foot to make a foot-rest.
The slats and side pieces F, which are fastened together, form a seat or support for a cushion or a section of thebed.
J is a shaft journaled in the hangers K K on the head-section E and provided with the ratchet and pawl 70 k, as well as the squared end 70 to receive a hand-crank socket thereon. Near each end of shaft J is made fast one end of cords L L, while the other is fastened to a shaft M, the cords passing also over the pulleys Z m, two of which are on the free ends of the side rails of section E.
What I claim as new is In a combined bedstead and chair, the combination with the pivoted pieces A A, the pivoted end sections and fixed middle section of bed-bottom and the supporting-frame H, of the shafts J M, the pulleys on bed bottom and frame and the cords L L having one end fast to each of said shafts and passing over said pulleys as shown and described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
PETER JERMAIN.
