UNITED STATES PATENT GFFICE.
Speecation of Letters Patent.
Patented Jan. 30, 1906.
Application iiled April 3, 1905. Serial No. 253.402.
To cir/ZZ whom it may concern.
Beit known that 1, GERHART J. N UnssEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Andale, in the county of Sedgwick and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hammock-Supports, of which the following is a speciiication.
This invention relates to hammock-supports, and has for its object to provide a folding' hammock-support of simple construction adapted to be easily and quickly set up or taken down.
With these and other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts, as will be hereinafter more fully described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointedlout in the appended claims, it being understood that 'changes in the form, proportion, size, and minor details may be made within the scope of the claims without departing' from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of the invention.
ln the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of the hammock-support. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of one of the tripods. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of the same. Fig. 4 is a detail view in perspective of the locking-plates of the jointed beam, and Fig. 5 is a perspective view of one of the awning-rods.
Referring to the drawings, in which like numerals indicate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 and 2 are the tripods which support the jointed beam 3. The legs 4, 5, and 6 are provided at their upper ends with hinge-leaves 7, 8, and 9 having longitudinally-recessed knuckles. Hinge-leaves 7 and 8 are connected by a pintle 10, provided at one end with a longitudinally-recessed knuckle l1 and at the other with an eye 12. A recess in the knuckle 11 is adapted to register with similar recesses in the knuckles on hinge-leaf 9, and by passing a pintle 13 therethrough the three legs are secured together. A vertical projection 14, formed on the knuckle of hinge-leaf 8, is provided with a hole near the top to receive pin 15. Loosely-encircling pintle 10 between knuckle 11 and hingeleaves 7 and 8 is an eye 16, formed at the upper end of rod 17. To a similar eye 18 at the lower end of this rod three short chains are attached, which are engaged by hooks 19, secured to the legs of the tripod. These chains serve to limit the outward movement of the legs, and by changing the point of engagement with the hooks the height of the tripods may be varied. To eye 18 is also secured a hammock-hook 20, which may be of any suitable construction. The two tripods are held from inward movement by jointed beam 3, provided at its ends with slotted openings through which projections 14 pass, pins 15 holding' the beam against accidental displacement. The two sections of beam 3 are connected by a hinge on the under side. On the top of one section is secured a hinged hasp 21, provided with a slot 22. Located on the opposite section is a hook 23, which passes through slot 22 and is adapted to hold the hasp in engagement with itself when not in register with the slot.
An awning 24 is secured in any suitable manner to rods 25, which are in turn secured to eyes 12 by hooks 26. To keep the awning from swinging, cords secured to the ends of rods 25 are fastened to legs 4 and 5.
The support above described is thoroughly practical, safe, and inexpensive. It occupies but little space when folded, and the sim plicity of its construction enables it to be put together in a very few minutes and without the use of tools.
Having described my invention, what I claim as novel, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. A hammock-support comprising two tripods, the legs of each being connected at their upper ends bya triple hinge having the pintle of two of the leaves provided with a knuckle having a longitudinal recess therethrough adapted to register with similar recesses in the knuckles of the third leaf, a vertical projection extending upward from the said hinge, a jointed beam supported by the tripod and secured to the said projection and means to retain the beam in its extended position, an eye carried by said pintle and awning-supporting rods supported by said eye.
2. A hammock-support comprising two tripods the legs of each being connected at their upper ends by a triple hinge having the pintle of two of the leaves provided with a knuckle having a longitudinal recess therethrough adapted to register with similar recesses in the knuckles of the third leaf, a ring carried by the said pintle between the two hinged leaves and the knuckle provided thereon, a dependingl rod secured thereto and means to limit the outward movement of the legs of the tripod secured to the lower portion of said rod.
IIO
3. A hammock-support comprising two tripods, the legs of each being hinged together,
a rod dependingfrom said hinge provided with means to which the ends ofthe hammock may 5 be secured and means attached to said depending rod to limit the outward movement of the legs of the tripods.
In testimony WhereofI ax my signature in presence of two Witnesses.
