Cabinet Bedstead or Bea.
I, FRANZ REYMANN of Lindenthal, Leipzig-Eutritzsch Master Cabinet Maker,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to
be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
This invention relates to a cabinet in which a bedstead is arranged in such a
manner that it can be drawn out of the cabinet and be set up at once ready for use.
A cabinet bedstead of this kind is illustrated in the accompanying drawings in
which:-
Figure 1 is a vertical section of the same, with the bedstead drawn out.
Figure 2 is a plan of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a side elevation showing the bedstead partially folded up.
Figure 4 is a vertical section of the bedstead in a closed position.
Figure 5 is a horizontal section of the cabinet, on line - of Fig. 1-the
bedstead being also in the closed position.
Figs. 6 and 7 represent details of the clevation.
Into a cabinet A of usual construction a bedstead B is so arranged that it can be
drawn in and out; the side parts a, a¹, a², a³, a', can be slid one within the other.
The unner surface of the bedstead is constructed of grate like bars which upon
closing the bedstead are turned upon the joints e into the position shewn in Fig. 3.
The rails e serve for supporting the top surface of the bedstead in the open posi-
tion of the latter and the rails are, for the purpose of enabling them to slide.
conveniently upon the side rails, furnished with a roller c².
When the rails are in the closed position the bedstead can be pushed into the
cabinet. The leg d' comes into contact with the leg pl. In the closed position
the side parts a, a³, a², a³, a lie one beside the other whereas the front of the bed-
stead forms the front side of the cabinet. For the purpose of rendering the pushing
in of the bedstead easy the hind part of the same is provided with guides of which
slide in the horizontal grooves in the sides of the cupboard.
In Fig. 6 and 7 a method of securing the sliding parts a² and a³ is represented:
the angular piece h upon the slide a is so arranged with reference to the slide a
that the projection h¹ engages the groove i in the latter so that a sliding motion of
the two parts is possible.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of this inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim:-
1. A cabinet bed characterized by the fact that a collapsible bedstead B is
arranged in the lowermost part of an ordinary cabinet A, for the purpose of
arranging the said bedstead, when not in use, in the cabinet in such a manner
that the said bedstead shall take up but little space.
2. A form of construction of the cabinet bed specified in Claim 1, character-
ized by side parts or fillets a a' etc. which are adapted to be pushed into one another
and by parts of lattice-work 6 which are adapted to turn on hinges c, and to serve as

page_text: bottoms for the bedstead, which said parts of lattice-work when turned up, enable
the bedstead to be pushed into the cabinet.
