MOSQUlTO-NET FRAME.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 268,283, dated November 28, 1882.

Application tiled August 31, IBSQ. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDRICKREIGHERT, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ma! con, in the county of Bibb and State of Georgia, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mosquito-Net Frames and Mode of Attachment to Bedsteads; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had tothe annexed drawings, making a part of this specification. and to the letters and gures of reference marked thereon.

Figure l of the drawings is a perspective view of my invention applied to a bedstead; Fig. 2a detail view, showing the manner ot connecting it to a bedsteadgand Fig. 3, a siinilar view ofthe socket-plates and braces.

This invention relates to frames for mosquitonettings, the objects thereof being to produce such a frame as can be readily attached to or detached from a bedstead, and from its simplicity of construction econoinize in space, as I use but two uprights instead of four, as is generally the case in frames of this character; also, when not in use the upper or horizontal portion of the frame, from which depends the netting, may be folded back against the uprights in a vertical position, and the whole device lowered below the head-board of a bedstead, out of sight, and as readily raised and placed in position, when so desired, there being no loose pieces to become scattered or lost. These objects l attain by the construction substantially as shown in the accompanying drawings, and hereinafter described, and pointedout in the claim.

In the drawings, A represents the two upright pieces, either ot' wood or metal, which are secured to the head board or'posts ot' a bed2 stead by means ot' clamps B, attached thereto, said clamps being provided with thnmb'screws a, by which theuprights may be held at anydesired height. At the top of each of these uprights A are secured angle-plates b, between which are placed the ends ot' the horizontal or top frame, C, and pivotally connected thereto by means of a rod, D,passing through the said angle plates and ends ot' the horizontal or top frame from one side to the other. At a suitable distancefrom the rear ends of the horizontal or top frame, C, are pivotally secured braces E, extending in a diagonal direction tol ward the uprights A, each ot these said braces beingr provided with a toot, c, which connect with socketplates d. secured upon the uprights A. These i'eet cot' the braces are provided with countersunk depressions e, to receive the pointed end ot' a set-screw, F, to regulate and secure the frame C at the proper elevation.

When the device is not desired for use the set-screwsFare unscrewed sufficiently to allow of the feet c being lifted ont free of the socketplates d, when the frame C, pivotally connected between the angles-plates b upon the uprights A, is thrown up out ot' the way iu a line with said uprights or turned down entirely against the saine. and, if so desired. the whole device lowered below the head-board of the bedstead, out of sight, by loosening the thumb-screws a. in thefclamps B.

It will be seen from the foregoing description that I have constructed a frame for inosquito-nettings that may be readily attached to or detached from any hedstead, and which, f

from its simplicity of construct-ion, may be quickly adjusted for use or placed entirely out ot' sight, when not needed, without removing it from the said bedstead; also, the device may be easily taken down and packed away in a comparatively small space, and, there bein-g no parts to become scattered or lost, it is always ready to be set up when desired for use.

Having now described my invention, what l claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, 1s

The combination of the uprights A, )rovided with anglefplates b and socket-plates d, secured to a bedstead by clamp B, and held at any desired height by the thumb-screws a, with the horizontal or top frame, (l, rod D, and pivotal braces E, said braces having feet c, provided with countersunk depressions c to receive the ends ot' set-screws F in the socketplates d, all arranged to operate substantially as and for the purpose set forth.

In testimony that I claim the above I havel hereunto subscribed my name in the presence ot' two witnesses.

FRE DBICK REICH ERT.
