PATENT EEIcE.
BEDSTEAD.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 779,027, dated January 3, 1905.
Application filed May-12, 1902. Serial No. 106,893.
To (tZZ whmn it nuty concern:
Be it known that I, AzRo A. GoBURN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Holyoke. in the county of Hampden and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Bedsteads, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to the construction of bed-bottoms, and has especial reference to that type known as slat bed-bottoms, the object of the invention being to provide a bedbottom frame of novel construction for the reception'of the ends of the slats, a further object of the invention being to improve the construction of the frame as a whole, whereby a light yet very strong and rigid frame of this character is provided and one adapted from the nature of its construction to .receive and support the bed-slats, all as hereinafter fully described, and clearly pointed out in the claim.
In the drawings forming part of this application, Figure 1 is a side elevation of the portions of the end posts of the bedstead, to which are secured the hangers which support the ends of the side rails, showing said rails in cross-section and illustrating one of thebed-sustaining slats in edge View and the manner of engaging the ends thereof wlth said rails. Fig. 2 1s a side elevation of one of the posts and the rail-hanger thereon shown in Fig. 1 and a like view of the inner side of one end of one of the side rails and its postengaging hook. Fig. 3 is a view on line 8 3, Fig. 2, and also on line 3, same figure. Fig. 4 is a View on line a 4, Fig. 2.
Each of the hangers 3 comprises a baseplate 6, adapted to fit the curved sides of the end posts 2, and a vertically-tapering cylindrical socket 7, in the side of which farthest from said base-plate 6 is a slot 8 (see Fig. 4:) for a purpose below described. Said hangers are secured to the sides of the posts 2, preferably by screws passing through said baseplate 6, as shown. The main bedstead parts herein referred to comprise said fourcornerposts 2, two side rails 9, and a number of bedsustaining slats 4. Such end frames as may be preferred can be employed to complete a bedstead comprising the above-mentioned main parts. Each of said side rails 9 is made from sheet metal of suitable thickness bent to the form substantially of a flat-sided tube having half round borders and having a longitudinal slot in the inner sides thereof extending from end to end of the rail. The lower border of said slot provides a convenient part of the rail with which to connect indirectly the ends of the bedsustaining slats 4, the latter having secured on opposite borders of each end thereof two metallic strips 5, which have a hook engagement with said lower border of the side-rail slot, as shown in Fig. 1. While the preferred construction of this slat is that shown in the drawings-that is, with transverse slots there in to engage the edge of the side rail, as in Fig. 1the slats may be constructed without this slot and be permitted to rest on that part of the side rail constituting the lower border of the longitudinal slot therein. The width of said rail-slots is somewhat greater than that of-said metallic strips 5, thereby providing for suitable vertical movements thereof in placing the slats on and removing them from the rails. Each extremity of said side rails has a cylindrical book 10 bolted or otherwise rigidly secured thereto, as shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 4:, wherein a flat tubular part 12, integral with said hook, is shown extending into the ends of said side rails 9 and are there rigidly secured by bolts 13 or otherwise. A web 00, uniting said flat tubular part 12 and the hook 10, (see Figs. 2, 3, and 4,) extends through the slot 8 in the side of the hook-socket 7 when the posts and side rails are united, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4.
While the means shown and described herein for securing the side rails to the posts constitute a strong yet inexpensive fastening device between these parts, some other, if desired, may be substituted therefor. The device forms no part of the invention.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States, is
In a bedstead, the combination with the posts, of a hook-receiving socket carried by each of said posts, the opposite side rails consisting of metallic tubes provided at their inner sides With longitudinal slots extending posite side rails and havingan interlocked enthroughout the length thereof, hook members gagement With the lower edge portions of fitted to the ends of the tubular side rails and such slots; substantially asdescribed.
engaging with the sockets on the posts, trans- AZRO A. COBURN. 5 versely-arranged bed-sustaining slats pro- Witnesses:
