UNITED STATES PATENT Orrron SAFFORD B. FREEMAN, OF FORT WAYNE, INDIANA.
IMPROVEMENT IN BED-BOTTOMS.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 144,754, dated November 18, 1873 application filed October 30, 1873.
To all whom it may concern: 7
Be it known that I, SAFFORD B. FREEMAN, of Fort W'ayne, in the county of Allen and in the State of Indiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bed-Bottoms and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and to the letters of reference marked thereon, making a part of this specification. I
The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arr. ngement of a spring bed-bottom, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.
In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figurel is a side elevation of my bed-bottom. Fig. 2 is a transverse section of the same through line :20 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is an end view of one of the slats, showing the manner of supporting the same; and Fig. 4 is a perspective view, showing one of the springs supporting the bed-bottom and one of the springs supporting the slats.
A A represent a series of slats to run len gthwise of the bedstead. Each of these slats is supported near each end by a wire spring, 13, made of one piece of wire. The spring B is constructed in the following manner: The wire is left straight in the center, at a, for a distance a little longer than the width of the slat, and the ends bent at right angles with said straight part a, as shown at b b, for a distance equal to or a little less than the thickness of the slat. The ends are then bent downward and run straight for a certain distance, after which they are twisted to form the coils d d, and the extreme ends of the wire are inserted between two bars 0 G, which are clamped together by screws 0 c, or other suitable means. The bends b b are bent inward, as shown particularly in Fig. 3, so that when the slat A is laid upon the straight part a of the spring, said parts I) b clamp it and hold it in place without any other fastening. The two bars, or the double bar 0 O at each end of the bed-bottom, extend the entire width of the bedstead, and longitudinal bars D I) connect the two double bars, as shown. In each of the double bars 0 0, near each end, is clamped a spring, G, made somewhat in the form of a letter C, the lower end being bent inward. This completes my bed-bottom.
In the bedstead, near each end, is placed one of the ordinary bed-slats E, and the springs G G are hooked on the same in the manner shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the springs passing under said slats and up to the double bars 0.
WVhen pressure is brought to bear on the bed-bottom the springs G G assume the shape nearly of the letter O.
This bed-bottom is perfectly noiseless, is casily put in the bedstead, and removed when desired. The bars 0 being double, very light stuff maybe used in the manufacture.
Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
The combination of the slats A A, wire springs B B, double bars 0 (J, and C-shaped springs G Gr, all constructed substantially as and for the purposes herein set forth.
I11 testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 27th day of October, 1873.
S. B. FREEMAN.
