Specification of Letters Patent.

Application filedjanuary 30, 1909. Serial No. 475,805.

To all whom it may concern;

Be it known that we, JOHN LINDQVIST and ERNEST I. HILLSTROM, citizens of the United States, and residing at Chicago, in the county of Cook and, State of Illino s, have mvented a new and useful Improvement in Arm-Chair Beds, of which the 'following'is a specification. i

The object of our inventionis to provide an arm chair adapted to accommodate one or more persons w ich can be unfolded and form a spring supp rt for a bed; that c011- tams seat springs and bed springs; that can be locked in the open position; that can be cheaply constructed and is adapted as a desirable substitute for the ordinary bedlounge.

The manner in which we accomplish our object is described in the following specification and illustrated in drawings, in which:

Figure l'is a vertical sectional side elevation of the several parts of the structure in position to serve as a chair. Fig.2 is a vertical sectional side elevation showing the several parts in position to serve as a bed. Fig. 3 is the same sectional elevation as Fig. 2, theposition of the several parts being changed. Fig. 4 is a top plan view, the several parts being in the posit on shown in Fig. 2. Figs. 5 and 6 are detail views of sliding bolts by which the parts are looked as herein described.

In the drawings A indicates the legs adapted to support the several parts when in position to form a chair as shown in Fig.

1. B isthe main body supported by the legs to which the other parts of the structure are connected. Hinged by the'pivot straps G is the seat part D of the chair. The part D of part D is adapted to telescope into the upper part of the body B. Secured by the hinge E to the part D is the exten-' sion E which telescopes into the part D and also into the body B, as shown in Fig. 1. Hinged to the seat back D are two pieces D these pieces are adapted to forma finish to the seat-arms as shown in Fig. 1, and to serve as asupport for the 'bed as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. Secured on the rails F supported in the part D is a flexible support F on which a number of spiral s rings G are secured. On the "springs G the flexible bottom H ofthe seat of the chair rests. This bottom is secured to the rails F. Connected with one side edge of this bottom I the accompanying.

is a flexible cover I forming part of the upbolstered part of the backof the seat. Securedto the end rail E of the part E is an elastic bed support J, the opposite end of whichis secured to the hinged frame IV. This frame is hinged tothe part B, and when. in the open position shown in Figs. 2 and 4, is bolted to the part B as shown in Fig. 4 by the bolts K, shown in detail in Figs. 5 and 6. Secured to the rail F is a flexible band L shown in Fig. 4, having a button hole L adapted to fit over a but- -ton L on the part E when the parts E and D are folded as shown in Fig. 3.

\Vhen the several parts are folded in the position shown in Flg. 1, it forms a chair or a lounge, according to the size of the parts. When the parts are to be arranged for a bed, the back of the chair is raised and the part D turns over to the position shown in Fig. 3; the parts D being turned to the position shown in Figs. 2 and 3. The band L is then released from the button L and the part E raised and turned over to the position shown in F igs. 2 and 4. The frame Patented Qct. 19, 1909. i

J is then raised from the position shown in I Fig. 3 to the open position shown in Figs. 2 and 4. The bolts K are then slid into sockets in the back of the part Band the bed spring thus secured in a taut position to support a bed or mattress. The horizontal line of the spring J being several inches below to be locked to said base at the other end I and means for locking said parts, said extension and frame when open being in the same horizontal plane and adapted to support a bed spring; a bed spring secured at one end to said extension andat the other end to said frame; and a flexible band secured at one end to said seat and adapted to be buttoned at the other end to said extension,

whereby said extension is secured to said seat when in a closed. position. v '2. A chair conslstlng of a base, a seat havin a horizontal position when the back of said seat rests on the floor; a frame inclosable in said base and bottom of said chair, said frame being hinged to said base and adapted to be secured in a horizontal position therein when the back of said seat rests on the floor; a bed spring attached to said extension and-to said frame, adapted to supporta bed when said base, seat, extension and frame-are in the open position as described.

3. A chair consisting of a base and a seat pivotally secured to said base whereby said base and seat is adapted to be opened and a adapted to-secure said frame in-said base in an open position, said frame forming part I of a bed support and foldable in the bottom of said seat; and an elastic bed support secured at the ends to said extension and to said frame, said bed support being adapted to be folded and held in the bottom of said seat and in said base as described.
