The invention briefly described, resides in the construction and arrangement of a com-. bination seat and. bed structure, and also in the construction, arrangement and mounting of a folding bed frame. The combination seat and bed comprises a pair of sections hingedly connected together and adapted in one position of adjustmentto form a seat, 7
and in anotherposition of adjustment to 1 form abed support or cushion. The sections are so connected and so guided and supported in their two positions ofadjustment that in one position the seat and back cushions are tilted and supported at a sllght angle to form a comfortable and convenient seat structure, 9.
and furthermore, ,meansare provided for guiding and supporting the cushions in bothp positions'of adjustment in such amanner that f y Fig. 6 is an elevational view illustrating one of the guide frames for the. seat struc- I they Will be firmly positioned. v
, The folding bed frame is so combmed' for counterweighting an upper bed structurewhen it is swung downwardly and outwardly to open position. Furthermore the" upper bed frame is so supported and guided as to require a minimum amount of effort and strength to raise and lower the frames.
Further details of the invention are set forth more fully in the following specification.
In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in the drawings, there is shown a portion of a sleeping car havmgside walls and 21, a r00 22, and a plurality of partitions 23 which form sleep ng compartments Each compartment is shown as rovided with achair, wash-stand, and suita le seating and sleeping arrangement. Theinvention covered in this application resides in certain details of construction in the sleep ing and seating structures of the car.
As shown particularly in Fi 2 to 7 inclusive, the seating facilities inc ude an elongated seat comprising a pair of sections 25 and 26 which are plvotally connected tother, as shown at 27. The ivotal connection is formed between suita le brackets 28 and 29 secured to and carried by the sec- Q tions 25 and 26. When the sections are arranged to provide a seat, the section 25 forms the bottom of the seat, and the section 26 forms a back-rest. s
In order to support the section 26 in upright position, downwardly extendin lugs 30' are carried thereby and are adapts to seat in channels or grooves 31 formed in the up r edges of posts or members 32.
The section 25 has secured to each end thereof adjacent the front and rear edges and adjacent the bottom of the section, a pair of rollers 35 and 36. These rollers extend into guiding frames or channels'37 secured to the end walls of the compartment and are adapted to support the section 25in the position shown in Fig. 4, or in the position shown in Fig. 7. When the seat sections are adjusted to the sition shown in Fi 4, the rollers 36 are sposed in downwar y and rearwardl'y inclined portions 38 of the guidmg closed as shown at 40, and having a top wall 41 to prevent the rollers 35 frombeing lifted outof the chahnels.
disposed in its horizontal As shown-in Figs. 6 and 7 the guiding frames are also provided intermediate their ends with a roof wall 42 which is positioned above the rollers 36 when the section 25 is v 'tion. These walls prevent the rollers 36 m leaving the guiding frames, and thus aid in securing the seat sections in the position shown in Fig. 7.
, ifl 'hespace beneath the seat sections is utilized for storage, as shown in Fig. 2, and is enclosed by a hinged front wall 45 which is secured in position by late cs 46 shown in Fig. 3. The mattresses for he beds may be kept in the storage space as well as the folding ladder used to give access to the upper v berth.
The upper berth consists of a bed frame 50 which is supportedb a pair of'links 51 and 52. The links 51 an 52 are ivoted at their up r ends to a pair of brac ets 53 and 54,
an at their lower, ends are connected to the end walls of the bed frame 50 intermediate the upper and lower edges thereof, as shown Thefolding berth or bed frame is' retained gage beneath, or to be positioned within recesses 61 formed in latch members 62 secured to the side walls of the compartment.
In order to assist in counterweighting or counterbalancin the swinging berth or bed frame 50, a hea -rest 65 which is positioned above the back-rest 26 of the seat, 15 connected to the lower ed e of the frame 50 in such d-frame is swung away' from the wall, the head-rest will be moved a way that as the upwardly with the lower or inner edge of the bed frame. This is particularly advantageous since the head-rest 65 is thus moved away from the space above the lower bed formed by the seat sections, affording more room for the occupant of the lower berth.
The head-rest has secured to its ends, bars 66 having extensions 67 pivoted at 68 to brackets 69 connected to the end walls of the bed frame adjacent the lower edges thereof.
In orderto guide the head-rest and to retain the lower edge of the. bed frame 50 against the wall as the bed frame is swung downwardly, a channel member or guiding frame 70 is secured to each end wall of the compartment. The bars 66, as shown in Fig. I
11,- are positioned in the channel members or guide frames 70, and a roller 71 is mounted on each pivot' 68 and is also positioned in the channel member or guide frame 70.
The head frame-has secured to and extend-' the-loops 76 and thus retain the seat section 26 in position against the wall.
When the handle 59 is turned and the locklll ing bars 56 are withdrawn from looking position, a slight pull on the handle will cause the bed frame 50 to swing outwardly and downwardly to the position shown in Fig. 9.
During this movement the bars 66 carried by thehead-rest 65, will slide upwardly in the channel members or guide frames 70, and
the rollers 68 which are carried'at' the upper ends of the extensions 67 on the pivotal connection between the extensions and'the bed frame 50, will travel to the upper closed end 7 8 of the guide frames 70.. The upper closed ends 78 of the guide frames thus serve to limit the upward movement of the lower or inner edge portion of the bed frame 50.
' In order to support the outeredge portion of the bed frame there are provided a pair of rods 80 pivoted at their lower ends, as shown at 81, to the bed frame and having at their upper ends hooks 82. One of the hooks 82 is adapted to engage an eye 83 formed in a bracket 84 secured. to the wall in the upper portion of the compartment. The other 100k is adapted to engage an eye 85 secured inside the ceiling of the compartment.
The rods 80 are connected at their ends by across rod 87, and a hand bar or rod 88 is secured tothe bed-frame adjacent the front ends thereof. Straps 90 are connected to the rods 80, 87 and 88, and prevent the occupant of the upper berth from accidentally rolling out of the berth.
Fig. 16 illustrates in section the spring construction within the upper berth frame. As shown in this figure, a wire frame 91 is I mounted above the springs 92 and' an in- Wardly extending annular flange 93 within the bed frame 50 has secured thereto and extending inwardly and downwardly therefrom, a guard or shield 94. The guard or shield 94 tends to retain the wire frame and springs in position, and to prevent the spring mattress construction from being held in compressed position.
In the day time the lower berth will be made up as a seat, as shown in Fig. 4. This is readily done by lifting the rear section 26' about the pivot 27 and shifting the two sections rearwardly. The lugs 30 will seat in the recesses in the upper ends of the posts 32 and support the section 26 in elevated position, and the rollers 36 which are carried by the section 25 will be positioned in the lefthand ends of the guiding frames 38, viewing Fig. 7. When the lower berth is to be made up the section 25 is moved forwardly to the position shown in Fig. 7, in which the rollers 35 are located at the outer ends of the guide frames 38 and the inner edge of the section 26 rests on the upper ends of the posts 32.
' In order to lower the frame of the upper berth, the handle 59 is turned to release the locking bars 66 and the frame is pulled downwardly. As the frame swings about the pivotal connection 55 with the links 51, the low beneath the seat section 25 bed frame when the frame is wardly.
er or inner edge of the frame will swing upwardly carrying with it the head-rest 65. The head-rest thus tends to counterbalance the weight of-the swinging frame 50. During the upward movement of the loweror inner edge. of the frame 50,- the bars 66 ,will be are snapped through the eyes 83 and 85.
The mattresses can thenberemov ed from and the upper or lower berths can be made p.
Although one specific embodiment of the invention has been particularly shown and described, it will be understood that the in-- vention is capable of modification, and that changes in the construction and in the arrangement of the various cooperating parts may be made without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as expressed in the following claims.
