QUIMBY S; BAOKUS, OF WIN CHENDON MASSACHUSETTS.
COMBlNED BEDSTEAD AND FIRE-PLACE.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 334,50 dated January 19, 1886, Application filed January 22, 1885. Serial No. 153,628. (No model.)
To all whom it may concern:
Be it knownthat I, QUIMBY S. BAOKUS, a citizen of the United States,residing at Winchendon, in the county of Worcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combined Bedstead and Fire-Place; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the artto which it appertain's to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters and figures of reference marked thereon, which form a partof this specification.
In many apartments of dwelling-houses, es pecially in small sleeping-rooms, much inconvenience is often experienced on account of the lack of heating accommodations, small rooms being frequently without chimneys or fireplaces. Such rooms, when used for sleeping, are, besides, incapable of containing the many ordinary articles of furniture usually required for comfort and convenience. son, among others, folding bedsteads of many kinds, as well as various articles of combination-furniture, have lately come into extensive use for household purposes.
The object of my invention is to combine a fire-place with an article of furniture-such, for instance, as a folding bedstead, a wardrobe, or a buffet, or other suitable piece-so as to economize space and expense, and at the same time produce a pleasing and ornamental effect.
To this end my present invention consists of an article of furnitureas a folding cabinet- V bedstead-formcd with a mantel-shelfand with a fire-place for an oil or gas log or similar heating device; and it also consists in certain details of construct-ion, as hereinafter set forth.
The invention is clearly illustrated in the annexed drawings, in which Figure 1 is a perspective of a cabinet-bedstead folded to represent a mantel and fire-place. Fig. 2 is a sectional detail, to be hereinafter referred to. Fig. 3 is a side elevation of my improved bedstead extended or unfolded, and with the fireplace turned down. Fig. 4 is a sectional side elevation of the bedstead folded. Fig. 5 is a sectional side elevation of the bedstead partly unfolded. Fig. 6 is a horizontal section illus- For this reatrating a modification in the arrangement of the fireplace.
Like letters of reference designate like parts in the several views.
A is an upright casing or cabinet formed with or supporting a mantel-shelf, B, above which may be arranged a mirror and an ornamental set of closets and shelves, as shown in Fig. 1.
In the lower front part of the cabinet-casing A is pivoted a box or casing, O, that may be turned to a vertical position, as shown in Figs.
' 1 and 4, or a horizontal position, as shown in Figs. 3'and 5. When in an erect position, the upper part of the frame or, casing 0 forms an ornamental entablature for the mantel.
In the lower portion of the pivoted casing O is formed a fire-place, D, having at its sides, top, and back double metallic walls a b, between which is arranged a layer of asbestus, c, or other incombustible material, as shown in Fig. 4. a
The hearth E, Figs. land 3, with its andirons and kerosene or gas log in the present case, is detached from the fire-place and remains stationary on the floor, regardless of the position to which the fire-place is turned.
To the back of the pivoted casing O is attached a folding bedstead composed of the hinged sections F F, the lower section, F,
being provided with a hinged foot-board, d,
and hinged legs 6, having pivoted bracesf, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. When the folding bed is extended, its upper section, F, is supported on theturned-down fire-place casing or frame 0, whichv is preferably provided with side rails, O 0, having projections at each end, that serve as legs or supports 9 9, two of which are provided with ornamental ball-casters h h, which will not detract from the appearance of the cabinet when the bedstead is folded.
The combined bedstead and fireplace is pivoted in the outer cabinet or vertical casing, A, by means of slots i 2', formed in the inner or lower end of each side rail, 0, of the inner box or fire-place casing, C, said slots being each arranged to engage with an anti-friction guide-roller, k, thatis journaledon a stud in either side of the outer cabinet, as represented in Figs. 2, 3, and 5. While the bedstead is folded it is supported in a vertical position, together with the fire-place casing C, by the upper or forward ends of the slots 11 z resting on the rollers 70 It at each side.
In order to unfold or extend the bed for use, the upper end of the fire-place casing C is tilted forward and down, so as to cause its lower slotted portion to turn on the guiderollers 7; 7; until the ball-casters h it rest on the floor, as seen in Fig. 5. The casing C is then drawn out sufiiciently to enable the bed-sections F F to be unfolded, as shown in Fig. 3. The folding bed-sections may be fitted with a woven-wire mattress and the necessary bedding, none of which need be disturbed when the bedstead is folded.
Itwill be observed that when the bedstead is unfolded or extended horizontally the fireplace D, together with its casing C, is also turned to a horizontal position above the hearth E and gas-10g G, while said hearth and log,being disconnected from the casing I, will remain in position upon the floor. On turning the fireplace down, the gas-log may be extinguished or not, as desired, the lining of metal and asbestus being arranged to afford ample protection from accident by fire. This is a very convenient arrangement of the firerplaee, hearth, and gas-log when used in connection with a folding bedstead; but it is obvious that when the fireplace is attached to a wardrobe, sideboard, wash-stand, bathing-cabinet, or other like article, the hearth, with the andirons and gas-log, can be made in one piece with the fire-place casing, and the whole be hinged at one side, as shown in Fig. 6, so as to open out, like a door, and thus give access to the space within or beneath the attached article of furniture.
By this invention I am enabled to provide auseful and highly-ornamental article ofhousehold furniture, adapted to obviate many of the disadvantages caused by lack of space, especially in small apartments destitute of a chimneyor hot-air register, where there is not sufficient room for a stove, together with other necessary furniture.
A great saving in expense of separate artieles is, moreover, effected by combining a gaslog fire-place with a folding bedstead or other piece of furniture.
It will be understood that I do not herein claim the pivoted or hinged fire-place independent of an article of furniture, as such is made the subject of a separate application filed June 27, 1885, Serial No. 169,976.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
1. The combination, with an article of furniture, as a folding bedstead, of a iire-plaee supported in a pivoted frame and provided with an ineombustible lining, substantially as described.
2. The combination of the cabinet-casing A, having roller-pivots 7.: 7;, the pivoted casing 0, provided with slots 73 i, and the folding bcdsections 1 F, substantially as described.
In testimony whereof I affix my signature in p rcsence of two witnesses.
QUIMBY S. BACKUS.
