CHARLES H. LEYOESTER, OF GWYNFE-LLANGADOOK, SOUTH VALES, GREAT BRITAIN.
IMPROVEMENT lN PORTABLE HAMMOCK AND SHELTER-TENT.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 209,275, dated October 22, 1878 application filed SeptcmberBO, 1878; patented in England, May 15, 1878.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, CHARLES HUGH LEY- cEsTER, of Gwynfe-Llangadock, South Wales, Great Britain, have invented a new and Improved Portable Hammock and Shelter Tent; and do hereby declare that the following description, taken in connection with the accompanyin g sheet of drawings, hereinafter referred to, forms a full and exact specification of the same, wherein I have set forth the nature and principles of my said improvement, by which my invention may be distinguished from others of a similar class, together with such parts as I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent-that is to say:
My invention relates to a portable sheltertent in which a hammock can be slung, so constructed and arranged that all the parts can be packed up in a compact bundle, and can be readily put together for use.
I will explain the construction which I adopt for this purpose7 referring to the accompanying drawings.
Figure l is a perspective view of the framing with the hammock slung, and Fig. 2 is a viewshowingthe cover onfor shelter. Fig. 3 is an end view of the framing. Fig. 4 is a view of the whole packed in a bundle, and Figs. 5, 6, and 7 show, on an enlarged scale, the jointing of the parts together.
In constructing theframing I employ a pole, A, which, for the sake of portability, is made in two separate lengths, joined together in the middle, as shown in Fig. 6, a ferrule, F1, on the end of one part being thrust into a socket, F, on the other part, and a stud, F2, of the former entering a notch ofthe latter to prevent the turning of either part without the other. This pole rests on two pairs of legs, B B. Each pair is jointed together on a tubular socket, B', so that they can turn thereon to an angular attitude, and this socket is placed on a pin, A1, projecting from a metal cap at each end of the pole A.
For the purpose of securing the legs on the pins Al I, place on the pin outside of each socket B' a collar, C, having two wings with eyes, through which passes a looped cord that is hooked to the pole at A2 and attached to the slings of the hammock D. The legs B .are pointed at the ends, so that they can be forced into the ground a sufficient depth to prevent them from spreading when the .weight comes upon them.
The covering G, which is preferably of water-proof fabric, can be passed over the whole and secured by buttoning or lacing at the angles, as shown in Fig. 2, and it may be kept stretched by means of hooks or buttons E on the legs. Y
For transport, the whole is packed in a bundle, as shown in Fig. 4-that 'is to say, the legs B are taken off the pole and folded to? gether, the pole A is divided into itsA two lengths, which are placed beside the legs, the hammock D and cover G are wrapped'round them and secured by cords or straps.
Having thus described the nature of my invention and the best means I know of carrying it out in practice, I claiml. The pole A, having at each end a cylindrical extension, Al, and collars (l, having eyes, as described, in combination with the legs B, applied to the extension A1, the hammock D, andthe looped supporting-cords connected with the ends of the hammock and passing through the eyes in the collars G and attached to the pole A, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
2. The combination of the pole, constructed of two independent sections, adapted to be fitted together at the center by the ferrule and shank, with the legs B, removably pivotcd upon cylindrical pins at the ends of the pole, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribin g witnesses this 14th day of September, 1878.
CHARLES HUGH LEYOESTER.
