HAMMOCK-SUPPORT AND SHELTER-TENT.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 638,174, dated November 28, 1899.
Application filed May 28, 1899. Serial N0. 717,888. (No model.)
, a citizen of the United States, residing at 300 North Carolina avenue, in the city of Washington, District of Columbia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hammock-Supports and Shelter-Tents; and I do hereby 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.
The object of my invention is to construct a simple, strong, and durable hammock-support which when folded for transportation will occupy a small amount of space and also in connection with the same to provide a shelter-tent and mosquito-canopy for the hammock.
The invention consists of a pair of struts flexibly connected together at one end, at which point they rest upon the ground, the two when set in position forming a letter \I. The upper ends of the struts are prevented from separating by a ridge-rope and are secured in place by guy-ropes.
Figure 1 is a perspective View of my hammock-support and shelter-tent in position for occupation, and Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the tent.
D D are the two struts, which are hinged together at d, by which they are kept in position when the device is erected and by which they can be folded for transportation.
E. is the ridge-rope,- secured at each end by the pins 6 e to the upper or free ends of the struts. This rope limits the distance to which the struts can be separated and also forms the support for the mosquito-net O and the shelter-tent A.
The clews of the hammock B are made fast to the pins e e and also the guy-ropes F F, the other ends of which are secured to stakes G, driven in the ground. These guy-ropes are drawn taut, which causes the struts supporting the hammock to be substantially rigid.
O is the mosquito-net, which is supported on the ridge-rope and is held by the pins 6 e and is ofsufficient size to wholly envelop the hammock.
A is the shelter-tent, made of any suitable material, and is' also supported on the ridgerope and is secured over the rope by the pins e e and held in position and secured by the lanyards F F to the guy-ropes.
The supports and tent may be taken down intact for transportation by casting off the lashings at the stakes and reassembled by placing the stakes in the ground at measured intervals, with the foot of the struts in the center.
What I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. In a hammock-support, the combination of the two single struts flexibly secured at their lower ends, with a ridge-rope secured at the free ends and guy-ropes for holding the struts in position substantially as shown and described.
2. In a hammock-support, the combination of the two single struts flexibly secured at their lower ends, with a ridge-rope secured to the free ends, guy-ropes for holding the struts in position and a hammock supported by the two struts, substantially as shown and described.
8. I11 a hammock-support, the combination of the two single struts flexibly secured at their lower ends, a ridge-rope secured to the free ends, with a shelter-tent supported on the ridge-rope, and secured in position, by lanyards to the guy-ropes,substantially as shown and described.
4. In a hammock-support, the combination of the two single struts flexibly secured at their lower ends, a ridge-rope and guy-ropes secured to their free ends, with a mosquitonet and shelter-tent supported on the ridgerope and the lanyards attached to the guyrope and tent for securing the latter in position, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
BARTI-IOLOMEW DIGGINS.
