ISAAC E. PALMER, OF MIDDLETOVN, CONNECTICUT.'
BEDSTEAD CANOPY-FRAM E.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 665,126, dated January 1, 1901. Application led October 24, 1899. Serial No. 734,616. (No model.)
T ali whom, z'f may concern,.-
Beit known that I, ISAAC E. PALMER, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Middletown, in the county of Middlesex and State of Connecticut, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Bedstead Canopy- Frames, of which the following is a specilication.
My invention relates to an improvementin xo bedstead canopy-supports, the objects being to provide a structure in which the canopy may be readily moved into position to envelop the bed and out of position when so desired, and to provide asupport which may be removably supported by the bed, which will be very strong, and which will be thoroughly adjustable for different widths of beds and also adjustable'as to height.
A still further object is to provide a canopyzo support which may be folded into a veryeompact bundle for shipping purposes or for putting away when not in use in connection with a bed.
A practical embodiment of my invention is represented in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1 represents a view of a bedstead in side elevation, the canopy-support carried thereby, and acanopy carried by the support, 3o the said canopy being in position to envelop the bed. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the saine. Fig. 3 is a vertical central section through a portion of a bedstead and the parts supported thereby, the canopy being represented in its position at the head of the bedstead, as when not in use. Fig. 4 is a transverse vertical section taken in the plane of the line 4 et of Fig. 3. Fig. 5 is adetail view of the upper portions of the pair of supporting-legs of the support and the reach, showing the legs spread to the limit of their outward movement. Fig. 5 is a similar view showing the legs at the limit of their inward movement. Fig. 6 is a vertical transverse section through a bedstead, showing a modified form of canopy-support. Fig. 7 is an enlarged detail View showing the device for securing each of the supportinglegs to the head-board of the bedstead. Fig. 8 is a side view of the canopy-support in its folded position, and Fig. 9 is an edge View of the same.
The canopy-support comprises a pair of su pporting-legs A A', hinged together at their upper ends, and a longitudinally-adjnstable top reach B, which is engaged with the pair of supporting-legs at their upper ends.
In my preferred form the canopy-support is made vertically adjustable by making the legs A A' extensible and contractible. In the accompanying drawings I have represented these legs as being composed of lower sections a a' and upper sections a2 a3, the upper and lower sections of the legs overlapping each other and having a pin-and-slot connection, together with a clamping device a* for securing the legs in anydesired adj ustment, thus accommodating the support to rooms of different heights and canopies of different depths. The supporting-legs A A' are provided with feet C C', respectively, which feet are preferably hinged to the lower ends of the said legs, so that they may be folded up against the legs when not in use. The supporting-legs A A' may be adjusted to any desired distance apart and held in such adjustment, in the present instance by means of a pair of flexible cords which extend across the spa-ce between the feet C C', the said cords being permanently secured to one of the said feet, if so desired, and being removably secured to the other foot in some suitable manner.
The top reach B is fitted to be adjusted longitudinally, so that it may be extended over the bed or slid back to one end thereof in the following manner: A pair of short arms D D' are hinged to the legs A A near the upper ends of the legs, the inner ends of the said arms D D being hinged to the socket D2, arranged directly beneath the hinged upper ends of the legs. In the present instance the outer ends of the arms D D' are hinged to clips d d', securely fastened to the supporting-legs A A. The upper ends of the legs A A' are hinged together by a loose coupling'DS, so as to leave a sufficient space 'between the ends of the legs to permit the reach B to be slid between them. This reach B also has a sliding engagement with the socket D2, carried by the arms D D. This arrangement gives the reach an extended bearing and also permits the legs to be adjusted outwardly and inwardly without interfering with the sliding engagement of the reach therewith.

The free end of the reach B is provided with' be of any desired form or construction to suit legs.
different requirements.
The under edge of the reach B is provided with a number of notches b', which serve to engage the` coupling D3 when the reach is extended, so as to insure the holding of the i same in position. The several notches render the reach adjustable for use in connection with diiferent sizes of canopies and to l suit the requirements vof dierent people as to the location of the hoop of the canopy nearer to or farther away from the head of the bed.
For convenience in packing or folding the several parts of the support the reach is preferably formed in two sections hinged together at b2, the hinge being constructed so as not to interfere with the sliding of the reach through the socket D2 and the coupling D3.
The operation of my device is as follows:
When it is desired to use the support in connection with a bed, the two legs A A are placed in au upright position along one end of the bedstead--as, for instance, the headboard. The legs are then spread apart until the feet C C' are located in close proximity to the side rails of the bedstead. The iiexible connections c c' are then manipulated to prevent the further spreading of the legs and the feet. The supporting-legs are then extended or contracted to adjust the height of the canopy with respect to the bedstead. The can- Opy may then be engaged with the free end of the reach B and the reach adjusted longitudinally to the desired position. When it is wished to remove the canopy from use, bu-t not remove it from the support, the reach B 1s slid rearwardly until the hoop of the can- Opyassumes a slanting position at one end of fthe bed, the curtains of the canopy being drawn over the said end of the bed.
In the modified form shown in Figs. 6 and 7 the supporting-legs are adjustably secured to the end board of the bedstead by means of suitable clamps F, which embrace the said In this form the legs may be made of continuous strips, the desired height being readily obtained by manipulating the clamping devices F. In this form the use of the feet C C' is obviated.
By the use of a pair of legs I obtain a very rigid structure capable of sustaining a canopy of any size without danger of bending the support, the support at the same time being made very light.
curved portion of the top reach to the legs in different positions in the direction of its length, substantially as set forth.
2. A bedstead canopy-frame comprising a pair of supporting-legs and an adjustable top reach carried thereby, the said top reach being made in sections hinged together, substantially as set forth.
3. A bedstead canopy-frame comprising a pair of supporting-legs hinged together at their upper ends, a curved top reach supported at the hinge connection of the legs and means foradjustably securing the curved portion of the reach to the legs whereby the reach is supported at different angles with respect thereto, substantially as set forth.
4. A bedstead canopy-frame comprising a top reach, a pair of supporting-legs connected to open and close, means for connecting the reach with the legs and feet hinged to the lower ends of the legs, substantially as set forth.
5. A bedstead canopy-frame comprising a pair of supporting-legs, a loose coupling for hinging the legs together at their upper ends and a curved top reach fitted to slide through the loose coupling whereby the angle of the reach is changed with respect to the supporting-legs, substantially as set forth.
V6. A bedstead canopy-frame comprising a curved top reach, a pair of supporting-legs therefor, a loose coupling for hinging the legs together at their upper ends, through which the top reach is fitted to slide, to change the angle of the reach with respect to the legs, and a socket supported by the legs in position to also receive the reach therein for supporting the reach in its dierentadj ustments, substantially as set forth.
In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name, in presence of two witnesses,this 18th day of October,
