To ALL w'HoM 1r MAY coNoEnN:

Be it known that L'MYRUM SUL'ZBAGHER, of 135 Bleeker street,.New York, in the county and State of New Yorlghave invented a new and improved Bnreau-Bcdstead; andI do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the sanne, reierence being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification, in which- Figure 1 representsa longitudinal vertical section ot' this invention. Y

'Figure 2 is a'hori'zontal section thereot' when the extension-pieces are in, and one of the doors is closed fand the other open.` n

Figure Slis a transverse section of the same.

i Similar let-ters indicate corresponding parts.

This invention consists in the arrangement of extension-pieces, tted together by dove-tailed grooves and corresponding dowels, and composed'each of two side pieces with transverse slats, in combination with a ease representing a bureau, wardrobe, book-case, or other similar furniture, in such a manner that said extensionpieees can be drawnout to form a bedstead,lor that they can be pushed in and enclosed in the bureau or other `furniture, o.nd that when the extensionpieees are pushed in', the transverse slats ofthe successive pieces` arrange themselves above each other, and when said extension-pieces are drawn out, the transverse slats form a bed bottom capable of supporting'a mattress.

The invention consists, also, in the arrangement oi' sliding and folding doors, in combination with the extension-pieces and with the bureau or other furniture, in such a manner that when the extension-'pieces are drawn out, the doorsV can be pushed in, androut ofthe way ofthe person or persons occupying the bed, and when the extension-pieces are pushed in, the doors can be drawn out and closed, and thereby a finished appearance is given to the bureau, wardrobe, or other furniture.Y l

A represents a. case, made of wood, in the shape of a bureau, wardrobe, or .other piece of furniture, as shown in iig. lof the drawing. In4 the lower portion of this case is secured the bedstead B, which is composed of three or more extension-pieces, a b c. These exitensionpieces are composed each of two side pieces, which are connected to eachother by transverse slats, a t c', and they are fitted together by dove-tailed slots d, and corresponding dowels e, in. sucha manner that said extension-pieces can be drawn out to the position shown in tig. l, or pushed into the position shown in fig. Suitable feet maybe attached tti the middle section,b, tor the purpose of supporting the weight of th'e person or personsv occupying the bed when the bedstead is drawn out. When the extension-pieces are drawn out, the Ytransverse slats form a bed-bottom capable ot' supporting a mattress, and, if the extensionfpieces arepushed in, the slats e slide over the slats b', and the slats t over the slats a', and the entire bedstead finds room in the lower part oi' the case A.' Said case is provided with. folding doors, f, which, when opened, can be pushed back -into the case, as shown in tig. 2, where one of said doors is pushed back. The object of this arrangement is to bring the doors in such aposition that the person occupying the bedstead is not liabletoinjure any part of his body by coming incontact with one of said doors, or to injure 'the connections of the doors bystriking against them; and, furthermore, when the bedstead is in the case, and the doors are closed, the bureau or other furniture has a finished appearance. The upper part of the case A can be used for a. book-case, secretary, or for any other desirable purpose. I

I am aware that bureau-bedsteads have been made, in which the sections of the bedstead are' 'made to fold 'one on top of the other. This arrangement is inconvenient, because, in making up the bed or in' taking it down, the vmattress and other portions ofthe bed have to be removed before the sections ofthe bodstead can be unfolded o1* folded. Withiny sliding sections the bedstend can be draw-11 out, with the mattress and other parts of the bed in it, and the bed can be made up without diiculty; and in pushing in the sections, the mattress and other parts of the bed have only to be folded up into the end section c, and the bedstead can be pushed in at a moments notice.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by LettersPatent, is p A bureau-bedstead, containing three extension-pieces, a b e, with grooves, dowels, and transverse slats a b c, said extension-pieces, when pushed in, being enclosed in a case, A, with folding and slidingdoorsf, all as shown and described. i Y
