Improved Bedstead.
EDWIN MOON 28 and 29 Hart Street Bloomsbury, London Cabinet Maker
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of my invention is to provide a bedstead which is simple and
economical in construction in which the head portion between the upright pillars
is capable of being readily lowered so as to leave the space between the upright
pillars clear or of its being turned inwards from the bottom so as to rest on the
bedstead at any angle to form a bed rest.
According to my invention I provide that the upright pillars at head part, above
the bedstead, are cast with a slot in each, on the inner side facing each other, these
slots are carried to within three or four inches of the top. Where these slots cease
the bow of the head part is made detachable by constructing it to drop, on
each side, into the hollow tubes of pillars and securing the joints with screws.
The movable head part between the pillars I prefer to make with an iron rod
top and bottom with iron rods fixed between them at right angles.
The ends of the upper rod I furnish with knobs, which, when the detachable head
part is removed are placed within the hollows of upright pillars, the rod working
horizontally, freely, in the slots of pillars.
The detachable head part being refixed secures the rod within the slots.
The bottom rail of movable head part I provide with two holes at a certain
distance from each other to drop on to pins on bedframe to secure it in an upright
position when needed.
