ISAAC E. PALMER, OF MIDDLETOWN, CONNECTICUT.
HAMMOCK.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 595,335, dated December 14, 189'7. Application filed February 1]., 1897. Serial No. 622,938. (No model.)
To all whom it 721mm/ concern,.-
Beit known that I, ISAAC E. PALMER, of llliddletown, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Hammocks, of which the following is a speciiication.
My invention consists of an improvement in hammocks in which the seat and back frames may be adjusted toward and away from each other along the suspension-cords for the purpose of arranging them relative to each other to suit the requirements of dierent persons and also to suit the requirements as to the angle of inclination which the occupant of the hammock desires.
A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 is a top plan View of the hammock. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same. Fig. 3 is a longitudinal vertical section through the hammock. Fig. 4 is a side view of a modified f0rm,'and Fig. 5 is a longitudinal vertical section through the form of hammock shown in Fig. 4.
The seat-frame of the hammock is denoted by A, the back-frame by B, the head-rest frame by C, and the leg-rest frame by D.
The seat-frame, as shown in the accompanying drawings, consists of a pair of side rails a, which are spaced apart at their ends by cross-rungs a. A suitable fabric agis secured to the said rungs a and fills the space between the said rungs and the side rails.
The back-frame B is represented as consist-ing of a pair of side rails b, spaced apart at their opposite ends by cross-rungs b, a fabric cover b2 being represented as filling the space between the said rungs and the side rails.
The head-rest frame C is represented as consisting of a pair of side rails c, spaced apart at their opposite ends by cross-rungs c', the space between the cross-rungs and side rails being filled by a suitable fabric cover c2.
The leg-rest frame D is represented as comprising a pair of side rails d, spaced apart at their opposite ends by cross-rungs CZ', a suitable fabric cover dz being shown as secured to the said cross-rungs and filling the space between them and the side rails.
The several frames above described may be made in any desired manner.
The suspension cords or ropes are denoted by E E'. The said suspension-cords are engaged with the seat-frame, back-frame, and head-rest frame in such a manner that any one of the said frames may be adjusted toward and away from the other frames along the said cords. In the present instance I have shown the suspension-cords as being engaged with bearings upon the said frames, the said bearings being so arranged as to cause the several frames to normally retain their adjusted positions along the cords. The cord E, for instance, is caused to pass through suitable eyes c3 upon one of the side rails c of the head-rest frame C, from thence through suitable eyes b3 upon one of the side rails b of the back-frame B, and from thence through suitable eyes a3 upon one of the side rails a of the seat-frame A. The suspension-cord E is similarly passed through eyes located in the side rails of the several frames at the opposite sides of the hammock. The ends of the suspension-cords E E may then be brought together and secured to supporting-hooks e, the said supporting-hooks having ropes or cords e', leading therefrom to a suitable support e2.
The leg-rest frame D is adjusted toward and away from the seat-frame A by the following means: Additional suspension-cords F2 E3 are secured at one end to the side rails a of the seat-frame A, and from thence passed through suitable eyes cl3 in the side rails d of the legrest frame D, and from thence the additional or supplementary suspension-cords E2 E3 are led to a suitable support, as shown.
The eyes upon the several frames are arranged in such a manner that the direction of the suspension-cords, which pass through the said eyes,is changed, preferably, abruptly, thereby normally holding the several frames at any position along the said suspensioncords Where it is desired that they should be located.
In the form shown in Figs. 4 and 5 the backframe is shown as being extended to form the headrest,and the seat-frame is shown as being extended to form the leg-rest,of the hammock. In thisform the use of supplemental suspen IOO sion cords or ropes for the leg-rest frame is obviated, the suspension-cords E2 E3 in this instance leading from the end of the leg-rest extension of the seat-frame rather than from the front end of the seat proper, as in the pre- A ferred form.
While I have described the bearings for the lsusjgiension-cords as having eyes secured to the side rails of the several frames, it is evident that the said bearings may be made in a great diversity of Ways.
The hammock as above described may be readily adjusted to suit persons of diierent heights, and may also be thoroughly adj usted as to inclination by simply sliding the several frames along the supporting-cords until the proper adjustment of the several frames relative to each other is secured. The weight of the occupant of the hammock Will still further tend to lock the several frames against unintentional movement along the supporting-cords.
It is evident that slight changes may be resorted to in the construction and arrangement of the several parts Without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention. Hence I do not Wish to limit myself strictly to the structure herein set forth; but
What I claim isl. The combination With suspension cords 'or ropes, of seat and back frames independltudinal direction of the suspension cords or ropes and relative thereto, substantially as set forth.
3. The combination With suspension cords or ropes, of seat, back and head-rest frames supported by the ropes and means for adj usting one of the said frames relatively to the others along the suspension cords or ropes, substantially as set forth.
ISAAC E. PALMER.
