JAMES T. ELVVELL, OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA.
IMPROVEMENT IN BED-BOTTOMS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 155,934, dated October 13, 1874 application filed August 8, 1874.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMEs T. ELwELL, of Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and in the State of Minnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bed-Bottoms and do hereby declare that the following is afull, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification.
The nature of my invention consists in the construction of a spring bed-frame in the manner hereinafter described.
In the annexed drawings making part of this specification, Figure 1 represents a plan view, Fig. 2 a side view, and Fig. 3 a bottom view, of my bed-bottom.
In the figures, A and B represent two stout bars, one at the head and the other at the foot, which form a foundation for the frame. C 0 represent two side spring-bars, which reach from one of these bars to the other, being firmly secured to them. They are made thicker in their centers than at their ends, being gradually tapered toward their ends, so that they will spring properly and har e strength. E E represent two auxiliary spring-bars, which are only half the length of the bars 0 0. They have their inner ends beveled, so that, when they are bolted as they are to the bars 0 0, they stand at a small angle to them, as seen. They are bolted near the centers of bars 0 G. a a represent two cross-pieces, one'of which is firmly secured to the bar A at the foot of frame, the other one being secured upon the outer ends of the spring-bars E E. F F represent the bed-slats, which are made in the usual manner, and without any special peculiarity. These slats rest upon wires which are placed and secured upon the cross-bars a. 01.. These wires simply run on top of said bars, and longitudinally of them, to prevent friction of the slats. The slats are bolted, or firmly secured in any other manner, to the bars a a. D represents a crosspiece, which is fastened beneath the spring-bars C O at their centers. d 01 represent spiral springs, which rest upon the cross-piece D, and support the slats at their centers; and d are similar springs, which rest upon the head-bar B, and support the forward ends of the slats, bearing up cross bar a.
By this arrangement I combine four different spring-bars, O and E, spiral springs 61 and d, and slats F, and I make a substantial, strong frame, with the slats a little higher at the head than at the foot, but not uncomfortably higher.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of the spring-bars G O and auxiliary bars E E, spiral springs 01 d and slats F F, constructed and connected substantially as and for the purpose specified.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 29th day of July, 1874.
