COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Metallic Bedsteads.
1, THOMAS WELLS of Kea Street South, Birmingham, in the County of
Warwick, Fender, Fire Iron, and Bedstead Manufacturer 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 :-
The object of my invention consists in constructing a metallic bedstead, that has
a drawer, or drawers, or receptacle attached, so as to form part and parcel of the
bedstead.
My invention consists in constructing drawers or receptacles in the space between
the existing angle irons and the floor, either at the foot end or sides of bedstead, as
the designs may require.
In carrying out my invention I proceed as follows describing two of the methods
by which the drawer, or drawers, or receptacles may be made to slide or draw out.
I so construct the drawer or receptacles that they can be made to draw out, by
means of a sliding or telescope arrangement, or can slide or roll upon the flange of
drawer or receptacle, the flange having small wheels or rollers inserted, and so
running upon an angle iron attached to frame work of metallic bedstead.
The drawer or receptacle may be made either of wood, or metal, or wood and
metal combined, in accordance with the design.
I will now describe with reference to the accompanying drawings, the manner in
which the same is to be performed.
Figure 1 represents the foot end and angles of a metallic bedstead, constructed
with a drawer or receptacle according to my invention.
a is a drawer or receptacle, the sliding bars, or telescope arrangement, passing
through the chilled or wrot metal carriers ce, which are secured to the cross angle
iron dd, by which means the weight of the drawer or receptacle is supported, and
also forms an easy sliding motion for the drawer or receptacle. EE is a tube
passed over bottom rod of foot end, upon which the bottom of drawer or
receptacle rests, and which revolves when the drawer or receptacle is drawn out,

sliding bar attached, passing through the chilled or wrot metal carrier c, which is
secured to the angle iron 7, supported at the bottom by the tube E which revolves
on the bottom rod of foot end.
Figure 3 represents a plan of drawer or receptacle a, showing the sliding bars bb,
passing through the chilled or wrot metal carriers ce, which are secured to the angle
iron dd, supported at the bottom by the tube EE, which revolves on the rod ff.
Figure 4 represents a view of the bar .
Figure 5 represents a view of the chilled or wrot metal carrier with hole through
at G through which the bar / slides.
Figure 6 represents the plan of a metallic bedstead angles, showing another
method by which the drawer or receptacle may be made to draw out.
a is the drawer or receptacle, H H the flanges of drawer or receptacle, sliding or
rolling upon angle irons attached to the longitudinal angles J J.
Figure 7 represents a section of Figure 6 showing the method by which the
drawer or receptacle a, slides or rolls when drawn out.

JJ are the longitudinal angles having attached to them, angles K K which form
a slide for the flanges H H of drawer or receptacle a to move upon.
wheels or rollers inserted in the flanges H H which revolve on the slides K K
when the drawer or receptacle is drawn out.
Figure 8 represents an enlarged side view of the wheels or rollers that are
inserted in the flanges H H of drawer or receptacle a.
Figure 9 represents a section of the wheel or roller Figure 8.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is
Improvements in metallic bedsteads by the addition of drawer, or drawers, or
receptacles in the space between the existing angle irons and the floor so as to form
part and parcel of the bedstead.
