DOOR BED.
Application filed November 7, 1922. Serial No. 599,593.
My invention relates to door or disappearing beds of the folding type, adapted to be mounted to move in unison with a door, into and out of a closet through the door opening and to be concealed in the closet behind the door when out of use.
In United States Letters Patent No. 1,17 0,- 478, entitled Door beds, granted to me February 1st, 1916, I have shown and described a mounting for a folding bed, whereby the bed may be swung from one side of a wall to the other', in a definite path of travel, through a door opening, independent of a movement of the door closing the opening; and positively moved and positioned relative to the wall opening on either side thereof. lVhile this patent covers broadly the positive movement and positioning of the bed, independent of a door or its particular movement, the present invention is directed, but not necessarily limited, to such positive movement and positioning in conjunction with and relative to a door or pivoted panel. Also the specific mechanism of this case is different in construction and operation from that described in the aforementioned patent.
More specifically, this invention includes the provision of an arrangement, whereby a bed may be mounted to move in conjunction with a revoluble panel-adapted to close an opening in a partition wallthe bed being of greater width than the panel and the panel narrower than the opening; the surplus width of opening beino' normally closed by an auxiliary hinged door.
As the movement of the bed in this case requires an opening substantially as wide or wider than the bed, an object is to effect a movement of the bed, relative to the pivoted panel, which will permit free passage past the bed when it is in either its extreme inner or outer positions; this passage being through the opening normally closed by the auxiliary door.
While I show and describe herein the preferred specific embodiment of my invention and as my. principle of operation, as well as the mechanism I employ, both in the instant case and in my Patent No. 1,170,478, and particularly adapted to two-door beds, I nevertheless do not wish to limit myself t0 these precise details, but reserve the right to make such changes and modifications in structure as will properly come Within the scope of the claims appended hereto For instance, the principle of my invention may be used in conjunction with a single hinged or pivoted door or without any door at all., as the desiderata is not only to dispose the bed frame, when on either side 'of the door opening, to leave a passageway therethrough, but also to effect a shifting movement which will admit of its use in connection with closets of comparatively slight depth.
The above and other' objects of my invention will be more fully disclosed in the following specification, reference being had to the accompanying drawingsforming a part thereof, in which:
Fig. 1 is a sectional plan view of a portion of a partition wall having a door mounted therein showing the bed applied thereto, as it would appear when disposed on one side of the partition wall.
Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the bed as it would appear while in transition to the opposite side of the partition wall.
Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the bed disposed on the opposite side of the partition wall. j
Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view taken on the line 4 4 of Fig. 2.
Fig. 5 is a plan sectional view taken on the line 5-5 of Fig. 4.
In carrying out my invention, 10 represents a partition wall designed to separate a room from a closet,'the room side of the partition being represented at A, and the closet side at B. The partition wall 10 is provided with a door opening bounded by the floor 11, the top jamb 12, and the vertically disposed side jambs 13 and 14.
Pivoted midway between its side edges to the top j amb and 'licor by means of the studs 15, and 16, is a revoluble door 17, which is of lesser width than the door opening, one or the other of the side edges thereof being adapted to rest adjacent the amb 13, and the opposite side edge being adapted to rest adjacent the free edge ofv an auxiliary door 18, which is hinged to the jamb- 14, thus the opening may be entirely closed by means of the two doors and form a panel therefor.
The pivotal stud l5 projects upwardly from a fitting 19 secured to the floor 11, and projects into a bore formed in the door 17. Interposed between the bottom of the door and the fitting 19 and secured thereto against revolution is an annular toothed raclr 20, and
CSI
also interposed between these parts is a swinging arm 21 having one of its ends pivoted on the stud 15.
Journaled for revolution on a stud 22 projecting downwardly from the arm 21 is a pinion 23 which meshes with the rack 2U and with a segmental gear21l also j ournaled on stud 25 depending from said arm.
lisposed on opposite sides of the arm 21 are the parallel links 26, and 27, having one of their ends pivoted at 28 and 29 to the lower edge of the door 17, and their opposite ends pivoted 30 and 31 to the segmental gear 24.
Pivoted to the free end of the arm 21, at 32, is a bed supporting frame 33, said frame having a plan area equal to approximately the area of the bed when in its upright position. The bed supported on the frame 33 may be of any desired construction and specifically forms no part of my invention, con? sequently, only the head member of the bed is shown and is designated by the nrnneral 3l. This head member is formed of tubing and is provided with the oppositely disposed standards 35 secured to the frame and the top rail 36 extending between the standards.
In order that the bed may be steadied on the frame 33 as well as to brace the arm 21, I provide the following construction. The arm 21 is provided with a socket 37 from which extends a standard 38, said standard being bent inwardly at right angles adj acent its upper end to form the arm 39, the end of said arm being pivoted on the stud 16 of the casing member 12. The bed head member 36 is pivoted at 40 to an arm l1 secured. to the standard 38, said pivotal point being disposed. directly above the pivotal point 32 of the bed supporting frame 33.
By the above recited construction it will be obvious that the arm 21 and arm l1 are pivoted to swing in unison on the pivots 15 and 16 and that the bed and bed frame may be swung to a limited extent on the pivots 32 and 40, and in order that the bed and supporting frame may be caused to rotate with the door and at the same time be permitted t-o swing on the pivots el() and Y 32 and to have a sliding movement with respect thereto, a rail 4t2 is secured to the supporting frame, adapted to pass through an eye l-3 of an arm lll secured to the door 17. Thus it will be seen that by pushing on either the bed or the revoluble door said door will be caused to revolve.
By referring to Figs. 1 and 3 it will be seen that when the bed is disposed either in the room or in the closet behind the revoluble door or panel, a clear and uninterrupted passage is afforded through the hinged door 18 between the room and the closet, the gearing, the arm 21 and parallel , links 26 and 27, operating to produce this result.
lVhen it is desired to dispose the bed in the closet, the door 13 is opened as is .shown in Fig. 2, the bed and door are then manipulated to `be swung on the pivots 15 and 16. During this operation the pinion 23 will have a planetary movement around the rack 20 and consequently will be revolved on its bearing 22, and in turn will cause the segmental gear 24 to rotate and 'wing the arm 21 and the linls 2G and 27 outwardly on their pivots, and lfinally when the door has made a half revolution, to dispose them in reverse position behind the door, in the closet, with the pivotal point 32 of the bed frame directly opposite the position it assumed before the door and bed were shifted. The bed will consequently be disposed out of the pathway through said door, the reverse action taking place when the bed is removed from the closet to the room.
lllhat l claim is:
1. The combination with a revoluble door, of an arm having one of its ends pivoted at the center of rotation of said door, means associated with said door and arm for positively moving the free end of said arm transversely in a forward direction with respect to said door simultaneously with and upon a revolving movement of the door.
2. The combination with a revoluble door, of an arm having one of its ends pivoted at the center of rotation of said door and a bed frame pivoted at its opposite end, of a stationary rack having its teeth disposed radially around the center of rotation of said door, a pinion journaled on said pivoted arm meshing with said rack, a gear journaled on said arm meshing with said pinion, and a linlr connection between said gear and said door.
3. The combination with a revoluble door, of an arm having one of its ends pivoted at the center of rotation of said door and a bed frame pivoted on its opposite end, of means associated with said door and arm for moving the free end of said arm carrying the bed frame transversely with respect to said door upon a revolution thereof, and means for slidably connecting said bed frame to said door.
4. The combination with a door adapted to swing about a vert-ical axis, of a bed frame, pivotal mounting means for said frame arranged to swing it concentric with the door axis, and means in connection with said mountingv means operating to effect a positive lateral shifting of the frame relative to the door.
5. The combination with a door adapted to swing about a vertical axis, of a bed frame, pivotal mounting means for said frame arranged to swing it concentric with the door axis, and means including a gear mechanism in connection with said mount-V ing means operating to effect a positive lateral shifting of the frame relative to the door.
6. The combination With a Centrally pivoted panel and an auxiliary door hinged at one side thereof, of horizontally disposed pivoted arms, a bed frame of greater Width than the panel pivotally mounted on said arms, said panel, arms and frame being mounted to turn in unison about the panel pivot, and means in connection With said panel, arms and frame to positively laterally shift the frame, relative to the panel, so that When the panel is in normal closing position the inner edge of said fra-ine Will clear the passage closed by the auxiliary door.
7. The combination With a centrally pivoted panel and an auxiliary door hinged at one side thereof, of horizontally disposed pivoted arms, a bed frame, of greater Width than the panel, pivotally mounted on said arms, said panel, arms and frame being mounted to turn in unison about the panel pivot, and means, including a gear mechanism, in connection with said panel, arms and frame to positively laterally shift the frame, rela-tive to the panel, so that when the panel is in normal closing position the inner edge of the frame Will clear the passage closed by the auxiliary door.
8. The combination With a centrally pivoted panel and an auxiliary door hinged at one side thereof, of a horizontally disposed pivoted arm, a bed frame pivotally mounted on said arm, said arm and frame being mounted to turn in unison With the panel about lis pivot, and means in connection With said panel, arm and frame to positively laterally shift the frame, relative to the panel, on rotation of the panel, said shift being forwardly in the direction of rotation of the panel, With the resultant effect of the inner side of the frame always clearing the passage closed by the auxiliary door when the panel is in normal closing position.
In Witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name October,
EDGAR COCKS.
