WILLIAM 0. FEELY, on NEW YORK, N.
- SPECIFICATION forming part of'Letters Patent No. 730,010, dated June 2, 1903. l
Application filed April 25, 1902.
To all whom it mayooncern: f
Be it known that I,- WILLIAM C. FEELY, a
citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of the Bronx, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Invalid-Bed and Oommode Attachment, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.
The purpose of the inventionis to provide an invalid-bed madein'telescopic sections and means for adjustably and removably supporting a commode beneath the bed in such manner that when the sections of the bed are closed together the commode-support will be under the head-section, enabling the commode to be readily placed upon the support or removed therefrom, and whereby when the sections of the bed are separated the commode will be brought into the space between the bed-sections for direct 'contact with the body of the patient and in position for convenient use.
Another purpose of the invention is to provide each section of the bed with independent springs and mattresses. l
The invention consists in the novel construction and combination of the several parts, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, and pointed out in the claims.
, Reference is to be'had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all'the figures.
Figure l is a perspective view of the improved bed with its sections drawn apart and illustrating the commode'in positionfor-use. Fig. 2 is a detail longitudinal sectional view illustrating the manner in which one section of the bed is connected with the other. Fig. 3 is a detail view illustrating the manner in which the commode-support has traveling connection with the inner cross-bar of the head-section of the bed. Fig. lis a side elevation of the commode. Fig. 5 is a plan view-of one section of the bed-springs. Fig. 6. is a plan view of one section of the mattress for the bed, and Fig. 7 is a side elevation of the bed with its sections closed together and illustrating the application of the screw for opening and closing the sections.
The bed is constructed in two sections A and The foot-section A consists of side Serial No. 104,653- (No model.)
bars 1(), a foot cross-bal llfan inner crossbar12, and a footboard l3, 'andthe headsection B consists of side bars" 14, a head cross-bar 15, an inner cross-bar 16, and a headboard 17. I
A longitudinal channel 18 is produced in the under face of each side bar'lt of the headsection B, and said channel 18 extends usually from a point near the head end of the said side bars let out through the inner cross-bar 16. At the lower portion of the channel 18 a series of transverse rollers 19 is located, as shown in Fig. 2. These channels 18 are adapted to receive horizontal bar extensions 20 from the head ends of the side bars 10 of the foot-section A, and said bar extensions 20 move freely in said, channels 18 on said friction-rollers 19. \Vhen the sections A and B of the bed are drawn apart, the bar extensions 20 of the footsection' A of the bed are adapted to still remain in the channels 18, but whenthe sections Aand B. of the bed are closedthe inner crossba1s12 and16 are'brought close together.
The bedstead is preferably of iron and of that'character which is generally used in hospitals and like institutions, the head and foot boards being constructed of side pieces, top and bottom rails, and-intermediate upright bars.
The supporting-frame O fo r the commode I) is best shown in Fig. 1,and consists of side bars 21, secured to the inner cross-bar 12 of the foot-section A of the bed, one ateach side of the center of said cross-bar, and a connect- .ing cross-bar 22 at the head ends of the side bars.21. lhesupportingframe Centers a recess 23 produced in the under edge of the inner cross-bar16 of the head-section B of the bed, and the side bars 21 of the supportingframe 0 rest upon rollers 24, mounted to turn on pins 25, extending from the lower portions of the side walls of the said recess 23, as is shown in Fig. 3. i
The commodeD is preferably more or less jar-shaped, although it may be given any desired form, and its mouth portion is provided with an inner flange 26, inclined inwardly'and downwardly. The mouth-flange of the commode may be cushioned with rubber or other material, if desired. Horizontal lugs 27 extend from the upper edge of the commode 1) at diametrically opposite sides, and these lugs V 27 are adapted to enter recesses in the side bars 21 of the supporting-frame C, and in this manner the commode is held on the supporting-frame. \Vhenthe sections of the bed are closed together, the commode will be near the head end of the head-section B, enabling it to be readily removed from the said support ing-frame or placed in position thereon. I11 removing the commode or in placing it in position on the supporting-frame the supporting-lugs 27 are carried to a diagonal position relative to the space inclosed by the frame C.
It may be desirable to adjust the commode.
upwardly to better suit the position of the patient, and in order that this may be done a series of auxiliary lugs 2" is located at suitable intervals apart below the upper lugs 27 as is shown in Fig. 4, and any of these auxiliary lugs may be brought to an engagement with the upper face of the supportingframe, if desired.
The springs E are made in two sections, a section of the springs being fitted to each section A and B of the frame. One section of the springs is illustrated in Fig. 7. These springs are held in position on the sections of the bed, preferably by means of hooks 28, secured to theirouter ends, which hooks are adapted to engage with keepers 2.), located, respectively, 011 the foot and head cross-bars 11 and 15 of the bedstead. The mattress is in two sections E also, one of which is shown in Fig. 8, and said mattress-sections are of the same dimensions as the sections of the springs. The sections of the mattress are preferably held in position on the bedstead by means of loops 30, secured to an edge of the mattress, which loops are brought to an engagement with pins 51 at the outer end portions of the springs, said pins 31 being shown in Fig. 7.
If desired, the foot-section may be supported by intermediate legs 40, the usual legs being provided for the bedstead at the head and at the foot. The intermediate legs 40 when used are provided with casters 4:1, and casters 42 are likewise connected with the legs of the head and foot sections of the bedstead.
In Fig. 7 I have illustrated a means whereby the sections of the bed may be mechanically opened and closed, whereas in Fig. 1 the operation is manuallyperformed. The device for mechanically operating the sections of the bed consists of adjusting-screws G, one of which is located at each side of the bedstead, and each adjusting-screw is pro vided with a plain or smooth section 43, held to turn loosely in bearings 4i, secured, for example, to the foot-section A of the bedstead, and this section of the adj usting-screw is provided with a hand-wheel 45 at its outer end. The threaded sections 46 of the adj usting-screws G are adapted to turn in correspondingly-t]ireaded nuts 47, secured, for example, to the under face of the side bars of The head-section B of the bedstead.
From the above-described construction. of bed it is evident that the commode may be brought in position for use without disturbing the patient to any appreciable extent, and that the bedstead after the commode has been used may be restored to its normal position also without material inconvenience to the patient, and that the patient may be supported in a substantially upright position or may remain in a reclining position when the commode is brought in position for use.
Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1. A bedstead constructed in sections held to slide to and from each other, each section having an inner cross-bar at its inner end, the cross-bar of one of said sections being provided with a recess in its under surface, and a commode-support secured to the inner cross-bar of the other section below the level of its upper surface and having a sliding bearing in said recess, as set forth.
2. A bedstead constructed in a head and a foot section, each section being provided with a cross-bar at its inner end, one section having channels in its side bars and the other sec tion having extension-rods from its side bars to move in said channels, and a commodesupport secured to the inner cross-bar of one section of the bedstead, the opposite end of the said commode-support being passed through a recess in the under face of the inner cross-bar of the opposing section of the bedstead, the said commode-support having a sliding bearing in the said recess, for the purpose set forth.
3. A beadstead consisting of a head and a foot section, each section having an inner cross-bar, the inner cross-bar of the head-section being provided. with a recess in its under surface, a supporting-frame for a commode secured to the inner cross-bar of the foot-section, and being passed through the recess in the inner cross-bar of the head-section, cl1a11= nels formed in the under face of the side bars of the head-section, roller-supports in said channels, and bar extensions from the side bars of the foot-section, which enter the said channels and slide on the said rollensupports,
as set forth.
4. A bedstead constructed in sections held to slide to and from each other, a commodesupport attached to one of said sections and having sliding engagement with the other section of the bedstead, a commode removably carried by said support, and means for adjusting the commode upon the support, as and for the purpose specified.
5. A bedstead constructed in sections held to slide to and from eachother, asupportingframe secured to one of said sections below the level of the upper surface and having sliding engagement with the other section of the bedstead, also below the level of its upper surface, a commode removably carried by the said supporting-frame, the upper surface of the commode being normally flush with the upper surface of the supporting-frame, and means for adjusting" the commode upon its support, substantially .as described.
6. An invalid-bedstead constructed in a head anda foot section, a sliding connection between the two sections, a spring for each section, a mattress for each section, hooks on the springs adapted toengage keepers onthe IO head and foot sections to secure the springs to the sections of the bedstead and means for securing the mattress-sections to said springs, as described.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification in" the presence of 15 two subscribing Witnesses.
