FRAME FOR MOSQUITO-NETTING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 23, 1907.

Application filed April 7, 1905. Serial No. 254,344.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MARY ELLEN KELLY, a citizen ot the United States, residing at Columbus, in the county oi Franklin and State oi Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in a Frame for Mosquito-Netting, of which the following is a specification.

This invention is an improved construction oi frame for supporting a mosquito netting or canopy, the object being to provide a simple and efficient device, -which can be used in connection with any construction oi bed, couch or pillow, inasmuch as it is not connectec said bed or couch. 'i

Another object oi the invention is to provide a device which can be folded up out oi the way when not in use and a still further object is to provide a device which can be folded into a compact orm when it is desired to pack or ship said trame.

With these objects in view, the invention consists in the novel features of construction, hereinafter fully described and pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings forming a part of this specification Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the practical.

application oi my invention. Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view oi the net supporting frame. Fig. 3 is a view showing the frame folded for shipment. Fig. 4 is a detail perspective view showing the upper lett lian'd corner oi the frame, and Fig. 5 is a detail perspective view showingr the lower right hand corner ofthe same.

In carrying out my invention I employ a base board A, to which uprights B, are connected by means oi hinges C, said uprights being hinged to the rear edge ol the base board, adjacent each end as most clearly shown in Fig. 2. The base board A, is adapted to be placed beneath the bolster or pillow, or it desired beneath the upper end of the mattress and the uprights projectupwardly a considerable distance above the said mattress, bolster and pillow. These uprights B, are connected at their upper ends by means ol a crossbar D, and a central upright E, is hinged at F, to the base board A and is connected to the cross-bar D and extends above the same a considerable distance as most clearly shown in Figs. l and'2.

Gr indicates supporting arms connected to the upper ends oi the uprights B, by means of hinges II. Triangular shaped brace blocks I, are hinged to the uprights B, as shown at I/, and are adapted to be turned so as to bear upon the base board A and hold the uprights in their perpendicular positions. Similar blocks K, are connected to the upper ends oi the uprights as shown at K, and these blocks are adapted to be turned inwardly for the purpose o supporting the arms G in their proper horizontal positions. These supporting arms G are connected by means oi a crosspiece L,to which a cord M is attached, said cord passing around a pulley N, carried at the upper end oi the central upright E and adjacent the lower end of said cord is arranged a hook O, which is adapted to engage the eye or staple 1?, carried by the central upright for the purpose of holding the supporting arms Gr in their elevated positions whenever it is desired to hold these arms so elevated, a suitable handle or tassel Q, being arranged upon the lower end oi the cord so that the said arms can be elevated whenever it is desired to liit the netting R,`which is arranged or draped over the said-frame.

The device 'can be made any width desired and in the present instance I have shown the device oi a width capable ofsupporting the canopy adapted to cover one pillow only.

It is obvious that this frame can be arranged upon a bed or couch and ii desired can be placed upon the iioor. When' not in use the canopy can be elevated by raising the arms D and in case it is desired to pack the frame away or ship the same, it can be folded into a very compact orm as most clearly shown in Fig. 3.

l desired the supporting arms G, may be hinged at the point where cross piece L, connects them, so that the said arms can be folded back upon themselves, thereby making a compact article, when olded.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:-

1. A frame for mosquito netting comprising a base, uprights hinged to said base, and supportingl arms hinged to the uprights and blocks hinged to said uprightsrfor holding the uprights perpendicularly and the supporting arms horizontally.

2. A frame for mosquito netting comprising a base, the uprights hinged thereto, the supporting arms hinged to the uprights, blocks hinged to said uprightsl adapted to engage said base for holding the uprights perpendicular-ly and blocks hinged to said uprights adapted to hold the arms horizontally, and means for elevating said arms, as set forth- 3. A trame for mosquito netting comprising a base, the uprights hinged thereto, the brace blocks for holding the uprights perpendicularly, the supporting arms hinged to the uprights and the brace blocks for supportingr the said arms in their horizontal positions, the cross piece connect ingthe horizontal arms, the central upright hinged to the base and carryingI a pulley at its upper end, the cord passing over said pulley and connected at one end to the cross piece connecting the arms, a hook carried by the cord and a staple carried by the central upright, all arranged substantially as described.

MARY ELLEN KELLY.
