' BEDSTEAD.

` like parts.
This invention relates to bed frames of that type where the chills by which the members are united are concealed within the posts or tubular members.
'In most bedsteads, the tubular members are formed with an open joint, as it is termed, that is, they are made by rolling a sheet of metal into tubular shape with the .edges of the sheet abutting but not brazed or otherwise. connected together. lV here this construction is used in that type of bedstead in which the chills are on the exterior of the parts to be united, said chills act as a means for preventing the joints from opening up. Where the concealed chill oonstruction is adopted, however, the joints of the tubular members are apt to o en, thus injuring greatly the appearance o the bed frame.
@ne of the objects of my invention is to provide a bed frame having a concealed chill construction wherein the chills will not only. act in usual manner to unite the members forming the bed frame, but will also act to prevent the joints of the tubular members from opening up. `With mv invention, therefore, it is possible to use the concealed chill feature in a bed frame without the necessity. of brazing or soldering or otherwise sealing or closing t-he seams or joints of the tubular members.
Referring to the drawings wherein I have shown one embodiment of my invention, Figure l is an end view of a bedstead made in accordance with my invention; Fig. 2 is a section on the line fc-a', Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section similar to Fig. 2 showing a modification of the invention. y
My improvements majT be. embodied in bedstead end frames of a great variety ot shapes and designs. That herein shown comprises the usual pillars or posts 3 which are connected at their top by a cross rail or bar 4 and which are also connected by other curved members 5, 6 having a more. or less ornamental configuration. The curved members 5 and (l lead to a. Central post T and preferably the cross rail 4 extends through said post. The pillars 3 and 4 and also the central post 7 are tubular in construction and are made in the usual man'- ner by bending a piece of. sheet meta-l into tubular shape sothat the edges of the sheet abut each other, thus forminor a-join't or seam S which extends longitudinally of the tubular member. Inv bed frames Where the exterior or exposed chill is used, it is .not customary to braze or otherwise secure togetherthe edges atthe seam1 8, but where the chills are poured into the interior of a tubular member made in this way, there would be danger that the jointor .seam 8 would open up, thus spoiling the appearance ot' the bedstea-d.
My invention is designed to prevent the seam S `from opening up sothat itis possible to use the concealed chill with the tubular member having the open joint.
As herein shown the tubular members are provided with apertures 9 through which the ends of the connecting members 4 and 5 extend as usual, and these members are held in place by chills l() which are cast within the tubular members so as to surround the ends of the members 4 and 5 and unite them to the tubular members. Each tubular member is also provided with one or more apertures 11 into which a portion of the chill l0 will run as it is beinrgpou'red, so that when the chill is cold the mass of metal 10 willhave a-projection or projections 19. extending out through the'apertures 1l. These apertures 11 are so situated relati\'e` to the seam 8 that after the chill is poured and has cooled, the projection or projections l2 will act as means to prevent the seam 8 from opening up. In Fig. 2, for instance, the seam 8 is situated comparatively near the apertures 9 Where the members 4 and 5 enter, and the 'aperture 11 is formed on the other side of the seam so that the projeetion'12 coperating with the members 4 and 5 prevents the seam from opening up.
In F'g. 3 I have shown a different construction wherein the tubular membe-r 3 is formed with tWo apertures 11, one each side of the seam, and When the chill is bed frame rests giving sha with the other membersl of thebed frame,
poured there will-be, therefore, two l'projections 12 which prevent'the seam from opening. It will be'understood, of course, that,
jsemblen 4and then' the bed framejwili vbe turned bottom side up in the mold andthe chills at the upper ends 'of the 7 will be formed, the mold in 'which'the or exposed end of the" chil s. At the bottom of the central post 7 I have shown a chill 15 which connects the ends ofthe mem-' bers 5 and 6 to said central post, 'and `in the construction shown, the members 6' are' curved to enter the end of the tubularmem# l tubular member having a longitudinally-exber rather than to enter apertures .in the sides thereof as the members v5.5110.- This special construction is not essential -to the invention, however. Where this construction is employed, I propose to provide the tubular member with a partition"'16 so that the chill 15 may be poured into the lower end of said tubular` member when the bed frame is turned bottom'side up.. The metal through the end or through apertures provided for that. purpose.
From the above it will'bes'een'that with my improvements as' 'herein described the chills are concealed (thus permitting a handsomer bed to be produced than'is Wherey the', chills are exposed) and saldchills act notonly to connect theJtubular :members but they also lock ,the edges of the --sheet forming the ltubular members together so as to prevent the seamfrom o ning up where-V by itis possible to use tub ar members with I open jolnts instead of the more. expensive tubular members in which the seam isbrazed or otherwise closed.
I wish it understood that, my improvement may be'embodied 'bedsteads of'aA great posts -3' and tov .the upper ible larmember surrounding the end ofthe other v vent the said seam from o ening u .l
variety of forms and is not limit-ed to the particular design herein shown.
Having fully described my invention, what 'I claim as new' and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a bed frame, the combination 'with a tubular member formed of sheet metal rolled into. tubular shape with its edges abutting and forming an open joint extending longitudinally thereof, said member havmg two apertures situated on opposite sides of saidv joint, of `a cross member extending into one` aperture, and ama-ss of met-al castinto the interior of saidtubular lmember aroundgthe end of the cross member and filling the other aperture thereby to prevent the joint from opening up.
2. In a tending joint or seam, of another member extendlngi'nto the tubular member through the side thereof on one side of the joint, said tubular member having an aperture on the opposite side of the joint, and a chill within the tubular member surrounding the end of the other member and provided with an in- 4teral projectin-filling the aperture in the may be poured into the tubularmembers tu ular member; 4 3. vIn a bed frame, thel combination with a I tubular member having a longitudinally-extending joint'i' seam, of vanother member extendlng into the tubular member through the side thereof, and a chill within the tubuinember, said chill having an interlocking v engagement with the tubular member on the opposite side of the joint' from tha-t -on which said other member is located thereby to pre- In` testimony whereof, have signed my name lto this specification, inthe presence of twio subscribing witnesses.
