Application filed January 11,1906. Serial No. 295,616-
To aZZ 0/ 00111 it may concern:
Be it known that I, JIDY W. WHITLOW, a l
coe, in the county of Nolan and State of Texas, have invented a new and useful Bedstead, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to bedsteads, and has for an object to provide a bedstead embodying new and improved features of con venience, comfort, economy, and durability.
A further object of the invention is to provide a bedstead embodying a bottom of fabric and means for supporting the fabric under tension.
A further object of the invention is to provide a bedstead having a bed-bottom consisting of an spaced apart and under similar and equal tension, whereby the lower fold becomes an auxiliary support forthe upper fold in case of excessive weight upon the latter.
A further object of the invention is to provide a bed-bottom of fabric which, with its associate parts, may be easily and quickly applied to an ordinary bedstead and by one but little skilled in the use of tools.
With these and other objects in view the present invention consists in the combination and arrangement of arts, as will be hereinafter fully described, s own in the accompanying drawings, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims, it being understood that changes in the form, proportions, size, and minor details may be made without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages of this invention.
In the drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of the improved bedstead assembled. Fig. 2 is a top plan view of the bedstead. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of a modified form of tension-exerting device.
Like characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all of the figures of the drawings.
In its preferred embodiment the improved bedstead forming the subject-matter of this application comprises a bedstead of usual and ordinary construction, consisting of the headboard 1 0 and footboard 11, connected by the side rails 12 and 13. At each end a bracket 14 is secured to each side rail in any convenient and ap roved manner, as by screws 15, each braclfet being provided with a recess 16, in which are mounted the transversely- dis'posed rollers 17 and 18.
citizen of the United States, residing at Rosupper and lower fold of fabric to recelve and support the Upon the rollers 17 and 18 is mounted the fabric 19, which will preferably be of duck or canvas, but may be of any other a proved. fabric or flexible sheet material. T e ends of the fabric are passed about the rollers and beneath the upper fold and are provided with hems 20 and 21, within which are incased bars 22 and 23, extending transversely of the bed.
Through the ends of the bars 22 and 23 are inserted the tension- bolts 24 and 25, provided with nuts 26 and 27, whereby the ends may be forcibly drawn together.
Instead of the bolts 24 and 25 bolts 28 and 29 may be substituted and a turnbuckle 30 substituted for the nuts 26 and 27. It will thus be seen that the lower folds of fabric embodying the connected ends are in osition upper fold when depressed by excessive weight, and should the bars 22 and 23 become uncomfortable the fabric may be shifted to bring the bars adjacent to the foot of the bed and whereby the plane surface of the lower fold is presented to receive the upper fold. It will also be seen that when the fabric becomes slack by reason of stretching the tension may be quickly restored by tightening the nuts with a wrench or similar tool, or in the form shown at Fig. 3 the turnbuckle may be tightened without the use of tools.
In Fi 4 of the drawings there is illustrated a modi ed form of the device showing the manner of mountingthe rollers on metal bedsteads. In this form of the device the rollers 18 are sup orted by staples or clips 31, the ends of which are threaded and pass through suitable openings in the cross-bar 32 of the bedstead for engagement with clamping-nuts 33, as shown.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is- 1. In a bedstead, the combination with the side rails, of spaced rollers extending transversely of the side rails, a flexible bedbottom extending longitudinally of the bed and of a width equal to ap roximatelythe distance between the side rai s, said bedbottom being formed of a single strip of fabric the op osite ends of which are folded over the rol ers and provided with terminal pockets, bars seated in said pockets and means connecting the bars for regulating the tension of the fabric.
2. In a bedstead, the combination with the side rails, bearing-brackets secured to the side rails at the Opposite ends thereof, traris- 1 In testimony that I claim the foregeing as Verse rollers mounted in the brackets, a strip my own I have hereto afliXed my signature of fabric passing over the rollers and having in the presence of two Witnesses.
