SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 780,278, dated January 1'7, 1905.
Application tiled July 2, 1904. Serial No. 215,187.
To this end my invention consists in forming the pivot-holes in the lazy-tongs levers constituting the said sides at such a distance from each other that when the stretcher is extended the said sides curve upward, and so displace the pivot-holes in the cross-stays, also formed in lazy-tongs fashion, that when the stretcher is extended the said cross -stays curve downward, the extremity of some of the said cross-stay lazy-tongs levers being adapted to abut against the edge of the adjacent lazy-tongs levers to limit the down-curving of the cross-stays, and thereby also the extent to which the stretcher can be extended, so as to permit the stretcher-cloth to bulge in when weighted without coming into contact with the cross-stays and insure the stretcher being securely stayed crosswise. I attain these objects by the mechanism illustrated in the accompanying two sheets of drawings, in Which-- Figure 1 is a diagram of a portion of the stretcher side extended. of the stretcher when extended; Fig. 3, an end view from the right of the stretcher extended. Fig. 4 is a side view of one of the cross-stays. Fig. 5 is a side view of the stretcher-head with partly-lowered handles. Fig. 6 is a partial plan, on an enlarged scale, of one of the corners at the head of the stretcher extended. Fig. 7 is a section on line A B of Fig. 2, also on an enlarged scale.
Similar letters refer to similar parts throughout the several views.
In carrying out my invention the stretcher- Fig. 2 is a side view frame sides and ends consist, as in my Letters Patent No. 7 40,002, of 1908, each of two lazy-tongs a 7), disposed pivotally upon each other. The pivot-holes :1: of each lazy-tongs lever, Fig. 1, are, however, not equidistant, the distance 3/ being a fraction greater than h, the distance 3' greater than 1 and K: greater than This causes the stretcher sides to curve upward, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The corner-pieces (Z are made of angle-iron and have riveted thereto plates 25, which at the head of the stretcher have square holes, in which the rails q are guided, Fig. 6. The extremiti es of the lazy-tongs a b at the stretcher head and foot are pivoted to the plates 6 and to slides g, the movement of the. latter and lazy-tongs thereon being, however, not limited by abutments in connection therewith, the extension of the lazy-tongs being limited by the cross-stays 6. The pivot-holes of the cross-stay lazy-tongs levers are so situated that when the stretcher is extended the crossstays curve downward, Fig. 4., one extremity of some of its lazy-tongs abutting against the edge of the adjacent ones. This limits the distance a, Fig. 3, of the end lazy-tongs levers of the cross-stay, which are pivoted to sockets on the lazy-tongs of the stretcher sides, so that the cross-stays only allow the stretcher sides to extend a certain distance, each crossstay limiting such extension. The cross-stays curving downward enables the cloth w, secured to the stretcher, when weighted to bulge in without touching the same.
The handles a are at one end pivoted to the respective head-plates and by means of rails 0, having slots, so linked to the slides g that when lowered they lie against the cornerpieces at, and their upward movement is limited by the rails 0.

In a collapsible stretcher with sides and ends formed in lazy-tongs fashion, the pivotholes in the lazy-tongs levers constituting the said sides formed at such adistance from each other, that when the stretcher is extended the said sides curve upward and cross-stays also formed in lazy-tongs fashion with pivot-holes so displaced that When the stretcher is ex- 1 In Witness whereof I have hereunte set my tended, the said cross-stays curve downward, hand 1n presence of two wltnesses. the extrelmty of some of the sald cross-stay lazy-tongs levers being adapted to abut v KASPAR FRLULER' 5 against the edge of the adjacent lazy-tongs Vitnesses:
levers, all combined substantially as and for CARL MULLER,
