BED-BOTTOM.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 729,950, dated June 2,190?.
Application tiled June 19. 1902.. Serial No. 112,345. '(No model.)
To all whom t may concern..-
Be it known that I, CHARLES E. LInDsEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Greenfield, in the county of Highland and State of f. Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bed-Bottoms, of which the following isa specification.
This invention relates to bedbottoms,"and has for its object to provide a device of this io character which will combine the advantages of slats and springs, whereby the bed-bottom as a whole is adapted to yield under the weight of the occupant and at the same time will remain level and not tend to sag, as is the case with spring bed-bottoms as generally.
constructed. Y
A further purpose of the invention is to provide a bed-bottom which can be readily taken apart for convenience of handling, either zo when moving or for purpose of cleaning, and
which can be readily adapted to the weight .'of the occupant or occupants.
For a full description of the invention and the merits thereof and also to'acquire a knowledge of the details of construction of V,the means for effecting the result reference is to be had to the following description and drawings hereto attached.
While the essential and characteristic features of the invention are susceptible of modil fication, still the preferred embodimentof the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which-4 Figure 1 is a top planvew of a bedstead 3 5 embodying the invention. Fig. 2 is an elevation of a portion of a side rail on a larger scale. Fig. 3 is a section about on the line X X ofFig. 2. Fig. 4f is a section4 about on of any design, make, or construction, andap' pertains more particularly to the bed-bottom or means for supporting the slatrests. The bedstead shown is of ordinary construction and comprises the head-piece 1, foot-piece 2, 5o and side rails 3, the several parts being connected in the usual manner, so aste admit of the bedstead being readily taken apart f or any desired purpose.- 4
The Slat-rests 4 are provided in their upper edges with gains 5 .for reception of the slats 5 5 6, said rests 4 in the present instance being yicldingly connected with the proximall side rails 3, preferably by means ofsprings 7, which are attached at their upper ends to the respective side rails 3 and atther lower ends 6o to the respective slatrrests4. 4The springs 7 are ofthe coil type and may be attached to the parts 3 and 4 in any desired Way and may be provided in any number and spaced apartany distance. The lower ends of the springs have detachable connection with the Slat-rests 4 to admit of throwing one or more of the springs out of action when it is desired to loosen the spring tension, so asto admit of the bed-bottom yielding to theweight of achild or 7o light person. This construction also admits of having the Slat-rests supported by dierent spring tension,w.hich is of advantage when the occupants of the bed are of different/weight,
' so as to preserve the bed-bottom in a level po- 75 sition. The Slat-*rest upon the side ofthe bed designed to support the heavier weight may be supported by all of thesprings, whereas the slat-rest on the side of the bed for supporting a lighter weight may be connected tothe 8o side rail by a less number of springs, there- Iby permitting the bed-bottom to move and at the 'same time remain parallel to a given position, although supporting a load. of unequal weight at. each side. The springs may be v connected at their lower ends to the slatrests in any way so long as provision is had for theirready disconnection and attachment as may be required. As shown, the upper ends of the springs are formed with eyes, go i which are looped into screw-eyesS, let into the side rails, and their lower ends are formed with hooks J to engage corresponding at the sides of the Slat-rests. The eyes 12 or rcoV the rods 11 may be lined with rubber or other material, s o as to prevent rattle or noise when the bed-bottom moves under the weight or shifting of the occupant. The rods 11 are preferably of y L form and have their lower ends secured to the side rails in any substantial manner, the upper ends being free, so as to admit of the Slat-rests being readily removed to admit of access to the parts for repairs, cleaning, or otherpurpose.
Within the spirit of the invention any wellknown form of spring maybe substituted for the part 7 so long as it serves to yieldingly connect the Slat-rest with the bedstead.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new isl. In a bed, the combination with the rails, bed-bottom and suspending-springs between the rails and bed-bottom, vertical guides attached at their lower ends to the said rails and spaced therefrom at their upper ends, and eyes attached to the bed-bottom and cooperating with the said guides to direct the hed-bottom in its vertical movements, limit its downward motion and admit ot' lifting it from the guides when required to remove the bed-bottom for any purpose, substantially as speciiied.
2. In a bed, the combination with the side rails and Slat-rests parallel with and spaced from4 the side rails, springs located in the space formed between the adjacent rails and Slat-rests and protected thereby and having their upper ends attached to the top portion of the rails, means detachably connecting the lower ends of` the springs with the bottom portion oi the Slat-rests to admit of throwing one or more springs out of action, vertical guides attached at their lower ends to the said rails and spaced therefrom at their upper ends, and eyes attached to the bed-bottom and coperating with the said guides to direct the bed-bottom in its vertical movements, limit its downward motion and admitn CHARLES E. LINDSEY.
