INVENTOR, HARRIS L EV/IV ATTORNEY.

HARRIS LEVIN, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.
COLLAPSIBLE SUSPENDING-FRAME.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 17, 1908.
Application filed March 27, 1908. Serial No. 423,784.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HARRIS LEVIN, a citi- .York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Collapsible Suspending-Frames, of which the following a specification.
This invention relates to collapsible frames for cradles, swings, hammocks and similar devices, and'its object is to provide a simple and substantial frame which folds into a small and compact bundle, which when it is to be used may be quickly opened and set up so that a cradle, hammock or article of this nature may be hung in the same, as will be more fully ex lained in the following specification, set fzirth in the claims and illustrated in the drawings, where:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the improved collapsible frame ready for use. Fi 2 is a perspective View of the same folded. Fig. 3 is an end view of the frame open.
The frame comprises a base piece 5,11inged in the middle and having at, each end the uprights 6 of identical construction and inclined outward to afford a bracing effect when a cradle or hammock is hung in the frame. The base piece 5 is provided with a bolt 7 to prevent itfrom folding when in use. The uprights 6 are hinged to each end of the base piece and oneach side of the hinges are slotted plates 8 fitting closely against the uprights and secured to the outer ends of the base 5 and within slots 9 of the uprights are pivoted latches 10 which are turned to enter slots 11 in the plates 8 when the uprights are elevated so that theslots may register. The operation of the latches is more clearly shown in Fig. 3 where the dotted lines show the same in its released position.
In order to strengthen the frame and brace the uprights, a cross bar 12 is placed between the two uprights when the frame is opened for use and is easily removed when the frame is to be closed.
livoted to the plates 13 secured to the up rights, are the legs 14 arranged at an angle so as to support the frame laterally and brace the same. These legs fold downward,
as shown in Fig. 2 when the'frame is folded. The legs 14 may be provided with loops or hooks to support a sheet of canvas to break the fall of the occupant in case the hammock or cradle should break, become loose or upset.
Near the upper end of the uprights, a band 15 encircles the same and is secured thereto, the outer face of the band being sufliciently remote from the uprights to allow a support or frame 16 made of three or more rods to slide therein. The outer rods are pivoted to the middle red at 16 and they are adapted to be elevated in the band and spread outward as shown in Figs. 1 and 3 so that a canopy or awning may be secured to the rods by means of the perforations at their outer ends. The cradle or hammock is swung from the hooks 17, the arrangement of the same and the awning bein shown by dotted lines in Fig. 1, and the Frame 16 is'retained at any desired point by the thumb screw '18.
This frame is simple and cheap and may be quickly folded when its use is to'be dis- P6I1S8Cl'Wlth and so that it may be packed away within a very limited space.
While the construction and arrangement of the parts are identical with the viewsreferred to above, it is obvious that minor modifications may be resorted to without departing from the essential features herein described.
What I claim is:
1. In a collapsible frame, the combination of a hinged base piece, uprights hinged to the ends of the same, and bent sliding supports, carried by the uprights and adapted to be spread outward when elevated.
2. lin a collapsible frame, the combination of a hinged base piece, uprights, hinged to the same bent movable supports carried by the uprights and adapted to be spread out when elevated.
3. In a collapsible frame, the combination of a hinged base piece, means for maintaining the same in an extended position uprights hinged to the base piece and bent sliding supports carried by the uprigl'its and adapted to be spread out when elevated.
4. In a (.Olltlll iblc frame, the combination meat of a base of two hinged parts, a bolt to rescrews to retain the supports in definite positain same in its'extended position, uprights tions. 10 hinged to the base piece, latches to retain In testimony whereof I have affixed my the uprights in their operative position, latsignature in presence of two witnesses.
eral supports hinged on the uprights, a bar HARRIS LEVIN. to separate the uprights, supports composed Witnesses: of hinged rods, loops on the uprights C. A. *0. RosELL,
through which the rods slide and thumb LUCY M. IlUeoINs.
