Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Nov. 16, 1909.
Application filed July 8, 1908. Serial No. 442,698.
To all 'whom t may concern:
Be it known that I, ROLAND ALLEN FEL- 'roN, aI subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at 131 Edmund street, Birmingham, in the county of Warwick, England, chartered accountant, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in and Relating to Railway-Coaches, of which the following is a speciiication.
This invention comprises improvements in and relating to railway coaches and has reference to coaches having provision for sleeping accommodation.
The invention has for its object to provide improved means for adapting each compartment for sleeping purposes so that greater facilities for comfort are the result, being more particularly7 intended for coaches with berths longitudinally arranged therein.
1n the first place means are provided for the combination with a back capable of pull` ing out and a seat capable of acting in conjunction with same to form a bedstead of a mattress sliding into a receptacle in the back of the seat and actuated by mechanism in conjunction with the means for advancing or receding the seat so that upon the pulling down of the seat back to form the bed, the mattress if desired with the clothes complete is lowered onto the same so as to be ready for use. 1n the second place a lavatory basin is arranged in conjunction with each berth and means are further provided orequipping each berth so that it is complete tor dressing without the necessity of the occupant leaving for the purpose.
These coaches are usually divided into compartments with four berths; during the day each compartment has four seats generally two on each side which are opposite to each other. Two opposite seats form a bed and for the other occupants upper berths are provided.
The present invention necessarily relates to the means of forming and equipping the upper berths as well as thelower as will be more fully dealt with later.
On the drawings appended to this specilication: Figure 1. is a perspective view showing a. portion of a coach constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2. shows the same portion of a coach after the upper berth has been lowered into position for a sleeping coach, the seat back being partially lowered as is done for forming the lower berth. Fig. 3. shows the same portion ofthe coach with the lower berth and the upper berth ready for use. Fig. 4L. is a sectional view taken through the seat A of Figs. 1, 2, and 3, showing the actuating mechanism. Fig. 5. is a similar View but with theY seat back lowered to let down the bed. Fig. 6. is a section orp the seat B showing by dotted lines the working positions. Fig. 7. is a cross sectional View through the coach at the back of seat A and looking toward the match board partition C and showing the method of raising and lowering the upper berth. Fig. 8. is a cross section through the upper berth with the latter in the lower position ready for use. Fig. 9. is a view from the central corridor of the coach looking toward the seats and upper berth, partof the view is shown in section and the mechanism for raising and lowering the upper berth is indicated in dotted lines. Fig. 10. is a key place of one complete unit forming part of a coach.
As the seats on each side of the central corridor are similarly equipped and the arrangements for the upper berths are the same, it is only necessary to deal with the action of one side to adequately describe the method of carrying out the invention.
The seat A. is the seat .with the housing for the bedding while the seat B forms a support for the foot of the bed and provides an equipment for dressing. This is for the lower berth with which it will be best to deal iirst.
For forming and equipping the lower berths to achieve the objects of the invention, mechanism is provided for eifecting the advancement or retirement of the seat proper c1 for it to act in conjunction with the seat back c in forming a bed. The seat B opposite also may be brought forward to act as part of the bed. Onto this the mattress is lowered by the operation of lowering the seat back so that the occupant` has no need for the attendant to prepare his bed but may by a simple action have the same ready for him at any time.
The mechanism for effecting the ldesired action of the seat and seat back, and the movement of the mattress may be arranged in the following manner. Each seat back may be formed with a side bar or rail CJI at each end or side and across these side rails .stout canvas sheeting is stretched, the ordinary seat back padding covered with leather or the like covering is then arranged in front oit' this canvas sheeting and may have springs in the ordinary way, or not as desired. The side rails are connected with levers Z3 which are bent Yforward below the seat back t2 and are tulcrumed on pins a* carried from the frame at the side of the seat. The levers extend from the ulcrum and are provided with pins or a bar o5 through their extremities engaging slotted links a@ pivoted to floor blocks a7 and at their upper ends to the underframe of the seat al.
The seat al is provided with rollers S running on tracks Z9 arranged behind the seat back o2 and as the latter is pulled down forward the levers as throw over the pivoted links o carrying the seat back on its rollers Z8 and guides as to the back partition. The seat back lowers to a horizontal position and the seat runs behind it so that the two torni a bedstead, see Figs. 3 and 5.
The mattress D is preferably formed with a hinged piece ZL at the foot and two hinged pieces Z3 Z4 at the head. The main part Z1 corresponds in size to the seat back trame and is secured at the top and bottom to it. vVhen in the open position the toot piece (Z2 is turned down horizontally onto the opposing seat B and the head hinged portions Z3 (ZL1 lie on the moving seat al 'forming a bed.
The two head hinged portions preferably comprise a large portion Zt at the end connected. by a narrower strip CZ3 to the main part (Z1. The larger portion ZA1 has side bars provided with runners Z5 to coact with guides (ZG. This arrangement allows ot the automatic folding up of the mattress complete with bed clothes and pillow in position into the space at the back otl the seat.
To return the bed and prepare the compartment for ordinary use, the toot ot' the bed is turned back and the seat back raised causing the mattress end Z4 to ride up into the receptacle at the back and carrying the seat al forward into its usual position. The arrangement of the head ot the mattress with the double hinged portions and the side bars with runners Z5 on the guides ZU allows this part to run as the guide and told into place in the receptacle as the seat back is raised into place.
Vith sleeping coaches it is customary to provide each coach with a curtain or blind coming completely down the side and screening oit' the bed into a separate compartment. In the case oit the lower ber yhs which T am now dealing with, the curtain or blind E would be carried trom the upper berth F and would be pulled down from that.
A further object of the invention as stated is to equip cach berth so that the occupant may dress without leaving. The mattress is hinged so that the foot may be turned back on itself and it is then carried back into the receptacle when the seat back is raised to its normal position as stated, so that an ordinary seat is provided. The seat B which has served for the foot ot the bed l hinge by side bars b1 to pins b2 carried by means ot plates or otherwise on the side of the coach. The seat B may thus be turned up on its pivots Z22 as shown in dotted lines at Fig. (3 and may be secured in that position by a stay or boltol any suitable form. Under the seat B is arranged a box like frame 3 in which a hinged or tip up closing wash bowl Z9* is arranged. This bowl is adapted to close into the trame and be snapped and held in that position by the catch b5. The bowl trame Zig is fitted with special supply and waste pipes Z2 o7 respectively adapted to follow the movementotl the bowl when the seat B is moved on its hinges without breaking their connections to the main pipe systems. The ipply pipe Zi may for this purpose be helically disposed about the axis of the seat pivots and may be ot comparatively thin copper or ot' flexible metallic piping' so as to readily allow for the movement ot the bowl. The waste pipe o? may also be of flexible metallic tubing of a length su'fiicient to allow for the required movement. see Fig. 6. Tn this lower berth, having returned the bed out ol the way and pushed over the seat back al into normal position such as at i, the occupant otI the berth can dress himselt1 in the closed compartment screened by the curtains or blind and may wash by tilting up the seat B as in dotted lines at Fig. G. Further, by pulling down the top hinged part bs of the seat back a mirror o9 is uncovered and a ledge is provided by the part hs for collars, brush, etc. to assist during dressing.
Provision is ot course made tor suspendin g articles of attire in each berth.
ln the case ol the upper berths F a rising and falling trame is employed tor carrying the mattress etc. This frame is arranged in suitable guides and is adapted for pulling up to the root of the coach as at Fig. l, or of being lowered to any position between such and the bottoni position represented at Figs. 2 and 8.
The provisions for dressing tor the top berths are in the torni of compartments at the end as in the key plan Fig. l0. The entrance to each upper berth is through the compartment (l from the central corridor; steps are provided from the compartment up to the upper half ot partition C where a door or a pair oitl swing doors provided.
Figs. T, S, and 9 ot the drawings show the arrangement ot one of such upper berths F. ln these figures, f1 is the trame and f2 the mattress thereon. The ,trame works in llO projecting guides f3 (Fig. 8) and is raised by chains, cables or the like j at the corners. The chains or the like are passed over sprocket wheels or pulleys f5 on shafts f6. At one end an operating chain fl is arranged; this is in the compartment G behind partition C. The operating chain is of endless form passing over a sprocket on a stud rotated by a hind wheel f8; a ratchet fg is arranged on the stud engaged by the pawl flo which latter is operated by hand by the finger piece j'll working in a slot f1?. Owing to the roof not being usually of horizontal form the pulleys or drums on the shaft over which the chains for inner side of the frame f1 pass are of larger diameter so as to raise this side a litt-le faster to lift the bed and frame right to the top when not in use, see dotted lines Fig. 8'.
When required for use the pawl f1 is treed from the ratchet fg and the frame with mattress and bedding complete thereon may be lowered by the hand wheel f8, to the position shown by Figs. 3, 8, and 9. It the berth is not required then it may be lowered part of the way down so that the curtains or blinds tor the lower berth which it carries, may be used; thus when the upper berth is vacant a larger space may be lett for the lower berth while providing the same privacy.
Vhat I claim then is:
