Application filed July 2,
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, Fnrrz GENTZCKE, citizen of the German Republic, residing at Zeesen, near Konigs Wusterhausen, Ger- 5 many, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sleeping Compartments (for which I have filed an application for patent in Germany August 26, 1922), of which the followin is a specification.
My invention re ates to improvements in sleeping-compartments for ships, railway cars, dlrigible balloons, and other aircraft (and all vehicles for use in the transportation of passengers) 15. In order to save weight and. space. the
beds in the cabins of alrships are usually disposed or arranged in pairs, similar to the arrangement in the railroad sleeping cars, one above the other -one in a manner that the lower bed of each pair may be utilized as a seatv in the day-time, while the upper one can be let down like the leaf of a table in order to afford a back to the seat which thus has the shape of a sofa. In the day-time a narrow passage only is re- 'quired along the sofa or between the two sofas, eventually for placing a table there: in, a wider main passa belng provided in front of the cabins in t e manner of a cor- 3 ridor connecting the entrances of the several The object of the resent invention is to solve the above prob em. To this end ourtains or readily displaceable partitions are employed for dividing the passage along the beds and enclosing part of the herein before mentioned mam passage in a mannerthat the space above and over each single bed will be in open communication with one of the ad'acent divisions or sections established in t e said passages and limited or enclosed by the said curtains or displaceable .story,
Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line- A.B of Fig. 1;
Fig. 4 is a vertical section on the line 0-D of Fig.1 and Fig. 5 is a vertical section on the line E-F of Figure 1. 1
Fig. 6 is a horizontal view of a cabin showing the arran 'ement in case of a single pair of superpos beds only. Fig. 7 is a plan view showing an arrange ment whereby the two upper beds may be ac- .cessible from the main passage'while the lower beds are accessible from the lateral passa e 6 therebetween.
In igures 1 to 5 the beds and the dressing rooms belonging together are designated with like numerals, such as 1-1, 22, etc., so and the communication is indicated by arrows.
In the embodiment illustrated in Figure-s 1 to 6 the cabin of the car comprises two pairs of superposed beds and a passage therebetween. In the day-time the two upr beds 1 and 2 areturned down about in es (not shown) into a vertical position to orm, in connection with the two lower beds 3 and 4 Figure 6, two seats or sofas 7 and 8 with the passage 6 therebetween. The main passage or corridor 5 is, in the daytime, 1n open communication with the several cabins provided alongside. The said main passage 5 extends either midway between two rows of oppositely located cabins or at the one side of the car with "the cabins in one row onl T on the other side thereof. For the night rst the passage 6, Figure 6, is shut off towards the two spaces 3 and 4 105 above the lower beds 3 and 4 bymeans of curtains 9, Figures 3 and 4, which are suitably connected with the' upper beds 1 and 2,
, dressing room 1 is accessible from the maln.
and preferably also with the lower beds 3 and 4 to allow of displacement or removal.
The spaces 3 and 4 constitute two dress ing rooms and belon to the lower beds 3 and 4 Figure 3. he said rooms 3 a nd 4, situated in front of the outer or fore ends of the beds, occupy each a portion of the main passage 5, as will be clearly understood from an inspection of Figures 1 and 2. The passage 6 intermediate is divided into two rooms 1 and 2, the room 2 being in communication with the upper bed 2 while the room 1 is in communication with the upper bed 1 as will be clearly seen in Figures 1 to 4. In Fi re 1 a curtain '14 of U-shaped cross-sect1on, when displayed, shuts off or encloses the dressing room in the passage 6. The space above the bed 2" and in communication therewith is shut at its front end through a curtain 15 and half of its length i'is shut by means'of a curtain 17 The space above the bed 1 is closedat its front end through a. curtain 16 and half of its length is' shut by curtain 18; The
If desired, however, the arrangement may be carried out ina manner that the two upper beds 1 and 2 will be accessible from the main passage 5, whilst the two lower beds 3 4 are accessible from the cabin passage .6. In the embodiment of the invention shown in Figure 7 the inner passage is subdivided by a partition such as a curtain or the like, to afiord two dressing rooms, which will be accessible from the passage 6.
All of the curtains employed for shutting and enclosing the sin is bed-rooms may be provided with readily applicable devices for locking the same. Within each bedroom the necessary fittings and containers for the accomodation of toilet-articles and clothes may be provided. For the illumination of the rooms from outside translucent portions may be inserted in the curtams or. partitions and lamps may be located pre erably in the main passage 5.
What I claim is 1. Sleeping quarters in the car of an aerial vessel comprising tiersiof beds at one side of a main passage and on either side of a lateral passage in communication with the main passage, the beds being arranged parallel with the lateral passage, means'forproviding separate dressing rooms for each of the beds comprising for the lower beds a chamber-like partitioning means arranged at the ends of each of the beds adjacent the main passage and closing off a space in front of said ends, and for the upper beds a chamber-like partitioning means in the lateral passage plus a curtain depending from the upper bed the balance of the length of the same not included by the said partitioning means, and a curtain depending from the other upper bed the full length ofthe same, passage to one of the dressing rooms for the upper bed being had between said bed length curtain and chamlgea-like compartment for the other upper 2. Sleeping quarters .in the car of an aerial vessel comprising tiers of beds at one side of a main passage and on either side of a lateral passage in communication with the main passage, the beds being arranged parallel with-the lateral passage, means for providing separate dressing rooms for each of the beds comprising for one of the beds in a tier a chamber-like com-- partment at that end of the tier adjacent the main passage, and for the -other bed in said tier a chamber-like compartment arranged in the lateral passage and opening onto said other bed, said last-mentioned compartment being arranged at the entrance to the lateral passage whereby a space is left at the foot of the lateral passage, said space constituting a dressing room for one of the beds in the other tier.
