SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 636,548, dated November '7, 1899.
Application illed June 28,1899. Serial No. 722,176. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, PETER M. OWEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at San Antonio, in the county of Bexar and State of TeXas,have invented a new and useful Canopy for Beds, Couches, dac., of which'the following is a specification.
The invention relates to improvements in canopies vfor beds, couches, &c.
The object of the present invention is to improve the construction of canopies for beds, couches, and analogous furniture and to provide a simple, inexpensive, andl efIicient de vice which will be strong and durable and which will enable a netting to be readily handled to arrangeit around a bed in the usual manner and to support it in an elevated position to remove it from over the bed.
A further obj ect of the invention is to provide a 'device of this character which may be readily adjusted to suit the size of the couch or bed to which it is to be applied and may be secured to the same without mar-ring or defaci'ng the finish thereof.
The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claims hereto appended.
In the drawings, Figure 1 isy a perspective view vof a canopy constructed in accordance with thisinvention and shown applied to a bed. Fig. 2 is a horizontal sectional view of one side of the canopy, illustrating the manner of mounting the same on the bed. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view of a portion of the device. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective View of one of the clamps.
Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawings.
1 1 designate a pair of clamps arranged at opposite sides of a bed 2 and adapted to engage the headboard thereof, as clearly illustrated in Fig. 1 of the accompanying draw.
ings, and each clamp consists of a substantially rectangular frame open at the inner side to receive the bedstead; but instead of making the clamp rectangular it may be constructed of any other form to conform to the configuration of the bedstead or couch to lverse portion of the slot of the stein.
which it is to be applied. The front end 3 of the clamp constitutes one of the jaws thereof, and the rear end is provided with a threaded aperture 4, receiving a clamping-screw 5, which is provided at its inner end with an engaging head 6 and at its outer end with a winged grip or thumb-piece 7, whereby it may be readily rotated to clamp and release a bedstead. The inner faces of the front end and the outer side of the clamp and the engaging face of the head 6 are provided with a suitable covering of felt or other material to prevent the device from scratching o'r otherwise marrin g the finish of a bedstead or other piece of furniture. Y
The outer side of the clamp is provided with a tubular stud or projection 8, forming a supportfor coils 9 of one side of a substantially rectangular frame 10, which supports a netting 11. The tubular stud is provided with a slot 12, and the inner end 13 of the coils which form the spring is varranged within the slot, whereby the spring isl connected with the same. The coils of the spring are retained on the tubular support orv stud by aremovable head 14, having a stem 15 arranged to extend within the tubular support and provided with a substantially L-shapedlgroove 16, which is engaged by a projection 17 of the tubular support. The projection 17, which is arranged Withinthe tubular support, is engaged by the stem of the head 14, which is inserted within the support and partially rotated to carry the projection into the trans- The transverse portion of the slot is arranged at an obtuse angle to the entrance portion of the slot to form a wedge 18, which is adapted to lock the head on the support. The head, which is preferably in the form of a disk, projects beyond the support and forms an eX- terior annular flange or spout which is engaged by the coils. The headr is adapted to be readily detached when desired, and when it is removed the spring may be readily taken off the support. Instead. of providing the substantially L-shaped slot or groove 16 and the projection 17 any other suitable means may be employed for detachably-interlocking the stem 15 with the interior of the tubular stud or projection 8.
IOO
The oblong or rect-angular frame which supports the netting is composed of two sides 19, provided at their outer ends with transverse overlapping arms 20, having terminal eyes 21, the eye of each of the arms receiving the other arm, whereby a sliding connection is provided. The arms are adapted to slide on each other to vary the width of the frame to enable it to be adjusted to suit various beds and couches, and the said arms form the outer end of the supporting-frame.
The supporting-frame is maintained in substantially a horizontal position, as illustrated in Fig. l of the accompanying drawings, by suitable cords 22 or other exible connections which are adapted to engage a hook 23 or other form of stop located at the bottom of the bed, or it maybe located at any other desired point. When the fiexible connection 22 is disengaged from the stop 23, the springs, which are located at opposite sides of the frame, operate to swing the latter in an upright position, whereby the netting is carried oil? the bed and is arranged out of the way.
The netting is supported at the top of the headboard by an adjustable frame 24, composed of two substantially L-shaped members having vertical side portions and horizontal top portions, terminating in eyes 25 and arranged similar to those of the arms of the main supporting-frame, whereby the frame 24 may be readily adjusted to suit the width of the bedstead or couch to which it'is to be applied. The sides 2G of the frame 24 extend through eyes 27 of vertical supports 28, constructed of wire and having terminal arms 29 arranged in the slots of the tubular supports of the bed-clamps, and the said frame 24 is retained at any desired vertical adjustment by collars or rings 24, arranged on the sides 2b and located between the eyes 27. The collars or rings 24 are provided with clamping-screws to secure them at any point on the sides 26, and they are adapted to rest upon the lower eyes 27. The lower ends of the sides 26 extend within the clamp. The frame 24 provides a straight horizontal supporting-surface for the netting and is designed to be employed on bcdsteads having an irregular headboard.
It willbe seen that the means for supporting a netting or other covering over a couch, bed, or analogous piece of furniture are simple and durable and that the device may be readily applied to beds and couches without scratching or otherwise marring the linish of the same and thatit is capable of adjustment to suit the width of the bed or couch to which it is to be applied. It is adapted to afford perfect ventilation and complete protection from mosquitos and other insects, and it is capable of swinging the netting out of the way when it is desired.
Changes in the form, proportion, size, and the minor details of construction within the scope of the appended claims may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or sacrisupports and engaging the slots thereof, and
means for retaining the springs on the supports, substantially as described.
