WARDROBE BEDSTEAD.
No. 253,576. Patented Feb. 14,1882.
UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
HENRY O. BICKNELL, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
WARDROBE-BEDSTEAD.
SPECIFLCATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 253,576, dated February 14, 1882.
Application tiled December 8, 1881.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, HENRY 0. BroKNnLL, of Chicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Wardrobe-Bedsteads; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.
My invention relates to an improvement in wardrobe-bedsteads 5 and it consists, rst, in making the front end of the frame rounding, that the frame can tilt forward so as to lower the bed into position; second, in so constructing the frame as to dispense with the usual foot-piece, which has heretofore been used, and to which the bed portion has been hinged or otherwise loosely connected; third, in making the lower corners of the frame round, so as to allow the frame to tilt forward, and hinging to these rounding portions suitable feet or supports, which, when opened out in position, will prevent the frame from tilting forward, all of which will be more fully described hereinafter.
The object of my invention is to do away with the usual foot or bottom piece to which the movable port-ion of the bed has heretofore been hinged or otherwise attached, and thus greatly simplify and cheapen the construction of the bed.
Figure 1 is a front elevation of my invention, showing one of the feet turned inward. Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the same, showing the bed lowered for use. Fig. 3 is a plan view of the bed, showing the head and foot boards fastened in place by means of the straps. Fig. 4 is a perspective of one of the feet hinged to the frame.
A represents a bed-frame, which may be made to imitate a book-case, an organ, a secretary, or any other piece of furniture, and
45which, instead of being hinged or otherwise loosely attached to the usual base or foot piece, is here made to rest solidly upon the floor. The lower front corners of this fra-me are rounded away, as shown, so that when the feet B are moved inward, so as not to (Model.)
touch the floor, the frame will tilt forward into s hinged. The feet B arecut away on their inner edges at the angle here sho wn,and are then pivoted to the frame, so that when the feet are turned back no portion ofthem will come in contact with the floor. After thebed has been raised against the wall it is necessary to open these feet outward, and they then form a support for the bed, which renders it impossible for it to accidentally ti p over.
As there is no back to this frame into which the bed portion closes, the head and foot boards are made detachable, and during the day, when the bed is closed up against the wall, are held in position against the bedding, as shown, by means of the straps I, which also serve to hold the mattress and bedding in place. l
By dispensing with the usual foot or base piece of the frame, in which the folding part of the bed is usually closed, the construction of the bed is very much simplified and cheapcned, and places wardrobebedsteads within the reach of poor people, and makes them much easier to operate.
Having thus described my invention, I claiml. A wardrobe-bedstead having its lower front corners made rounding and provided with hinged feet, substantially as described.
2. A wardrobe-bedstead having its lower front corners rounded away and provided with the hinged feet,in combination with the folding legs, which are pivoted to the sides of the upper end of the frame, the frame being made to support one end of the bed, while the pivoted legs support the other, substantially as set forth.
3. In a wardrobe-bedstcad which rests solidly upon the floor at its lower end, removable head and foot boards, and suitable straps for holding the parts in place while the bed is raised against the wall, substantially as specified.

A wardrobe-bedstead which rests sol- In testimony whereof I affix my signature idly upon theoor at its lower end, and which in presence of two witnesses. has its lower front corners rounded away and provided with hinged feet, the back portion of HENRY 0 BIGKNELL' 5 the frame being left; entirely open for the re- Witnesses:
ception of the bed, Iand made to close against J. W. CARTER, the Wall, substantially as shown and described. ELMER E. BARRETT.
