Filed Dec 17, l928 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 INVENTOR Patented June 30, 1931 PATENT OFFICE HORACE G. KIMBLE, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK BED , Application filed December 17, 1928. Serial No. 326,654.
My invention relates particularly to nonfolding beds. The main object is to provide a construction embodying the usual type of spring and mattress .and yet which may be 6 so ornamental and camouflaged that it may be used in a sitting room or parlor.
Y In carrying out the invention I provide a bedstead or framework ofany suitable design or material constructed so as to accom- 10 modate more or less standard types of springs and mattresses. This bedstead is sufiiciently modified from standard practice to accommodate a special screen or cover which conceals the mattress in the day time 16 and yet which can be readily moved out of the Way at night or whenever the bed is to be used as suoh/ This screen is preferably hinged to one side of the bedstead and provided with a back portion so constructed and arranged that when the screen is raised the back is folded clear from the bed. When the screenis lowered over the bed the back comes into position to serve as aback rest.
The invention may be embodied in various 25 forms, designs and arrangements.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one construction showing the bed disguised as a couch or the like. i v
Fig. 2. shows the screen raised and the mat- 30 tress disclosed.
Fig. 3 is a transverse section showing the screen in place covering the bed.
Fig. 4 is a similar sectional view showing the screen raised.
Fig. 5 is a view similar to Fig. 3 ofa modification and also showing in dot and dash lines the screen partly raised.
Fig. 6 is atransverse section and end elevationof a modifiedconstruction and show- 4 ing in dotand dash linesthe screen partly Fig. 7 is afragmentary longitudinal sectional view and front elevation showing another modification. I
Fig. 8 is a fragmentary transverse sectional view showing a jointed or hinged screen member. V
The framework or bedstead 10'is' suitably constructed to support 7 anyv suitable type of 50 spring'construction 11 and'any suitable type of mattress 12. The screen, cover or lid consists of the main portion 1% and the back member 15 which normally conceal the mattress and bed clothes.
The bedstead is provided with ends 16, front board or side 17, and a rear board or 1 side 18, and may have legs 19 of any suitable character which may, if desired, be deter-hable for shipping and transportation pur-' poses.
The main screen portion has side bars 20 at the ends of the bed connected at the front by a front bar 21, which extends along one side of the bed and rests upon the front board 17. The framework of the screen is hinged at 22 to the upper edge of the back portion 18 so that when the screen is raised the entire mattress is exposed.
' The back of the screen is supported at its upper end by boards 23 which are secured to the extension pieces 24. These extension pieces and boards may be removable if desired for convenience in shipping and storing and in fact the entire upper part of the ends 16 may also be removable. The back 15 consists of two boards 25 and 26 which of course may be made of any number of pieces and of any suitable material. The top board is hinged at 27 to the back board 23 and hinged at 28 to the inclined board 26. The board 26 in turn is hinged at 29 to the side bars 20 of the screen frame. The screen is provided with any suitable fabric 30 of any suitable ornamental design and material adapted to cover the mattress as well as the back, as shown, for instance, in Fig. 1. The front edge of the screen may be suitably secured by, means of a latch 31 when the screen is down. By detaching the hinges 27 the back of the screen may be folded over on top of the mattress for shipping purposes and the back boards 23 and extensions 24 knock down so as to make the construction more compact and easier to handle.
The screen may be reinforced at the rear by a cross-bar or board 32 which connects the bars 20. A counter weight 33 has a cord or chain 34 which extends over the rear edge of the board 32 and is secured at 35 to the board 32 and thus exerts a turning movement [00 counter-weight the back.
on the screen. The screen fabric 30 may be reinforced by canvas or webbing, etc., if desired. V V
Preferably the weight is so adjusted that there is normally but littleif any tendency for it to lift the screen from the position shown in Fig. 3, but when the latch of the screen is'released and the screenis' raised part way the weight becomeseff'ective to assist in lifting the screen and moving the parts into the position shown in Fig. 4 where the weight tends to hold the screen in its raised position. In this position the screen of; course leaves the mattress entirely exposed and itself constitutes a screen-at one sid-eof the bed which may be utilized either to'screen or shield't'he bed fromthelightor to shut off draught from a window ordoor. In' the construction shown'in Fig. 5 the counter-weight cord 34 passes over a pulley 36 which is'secured' to the, rear wall of the bedstead and the front end of the cord "is securedto anchorage'37 which is fixed to the back 26 of the'bedstead. E Thisconstruction is somewhat more compact and encloses the n a recess or chamber 38 at The pillows 39 maybe placed on themattress for instance opposite'ends of the bed when the screen isclosed down and the space between may be filled in by extra bed clothes or pillows inserted 'for instance in a pocket 40 which may be secured to the screen covering 30. Such a pocket be of any suit-' able'construction or si z e'de'sign'ed to hang or otherwise support blankets and so forth in any suitable Ina-nner. This-pocket, would be open oreasilyfopened and when the screen" is raised.

' The construction shown in Fig. Gis more of the type comnionly 'termed'a divan and'a scre'en frame 41 is proyided with a back 4l2, which is secured to its rear edge which is hinged at 43. 'In this case thelcounter weight 44' is hung directly from the b-ack "of this;
mately the same height as'the backboard The cover fabric 47 extends over the rear edge'of thebed and In'some cases it may be desired to hinge the screen frame so that it will takeup less vei r tical" height, for instance, "the end "bars may have extensions 21 hingedto them at2la, as. Shownin Fig. 8." v
