PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Bed-airers.
I, HANS WUST, of 26 Neue-Gasse, Nuremberg, in the Empire of Germany,
Upholsterer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of the present invention is a bed-airer, which compared with those
hitherto used, possesses the advantage that it is not resting upon the lower bed,
pressing same together, but that it carries the upper bed free and clear of the
lower bed, the weight of the upper bed being carried by the bedstead posts.
The new arer consists as will be seen from the accompanying drawing, of a
framework of longitudinal strings and cross bars. The outer longitudinal string a
as well as intermediate strings are so adjusted to two cross bars b that the airer
may be lengthened or shortened as desirable, in conformability to the length of the
bed stead. Cross bars b bear slings c and straps d for hanging and firmly strapping
to the bedstead posts. In order that strings a and may keep equal distances
apart, and that more support be offered to the bed at the top, the strings are passed
round or through intermediate bars e.
An essential advantage of the airer consists in its being capable of adjustment to
any bedstead without using any auxiliary means, such as bobbins or rollers, and
that when rolled up it will occupy little room, and the cost of manufacture is very
small.

Improvements in Bed-airers.
I, HANS WUST, of 26 Neue-Gasse, Nuremberg, in the Empire of Germany
Upholsterer, 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 improvements in appliances designed for airing beds,
so constructed as to be readily adjusted to any size of bed without using any
auxiliary means, such as rollers or bobbins, and when not in use, the appliances can
be rolled up so as to occupy very little room, and can be manufactured at very
little cost.
The bed airer is constructed so as to carry the upper bed, or bed and bed
clothes, above and clear of the lower bed or mattrass, the weight of the upper bed
being supported by the bed posts.
Such being the nature and object of my said invention, the following is a complete
description of same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, which is
a view in elevation of a bedstead with the improved bed airer in position.
According to this invention, the improved bed airer consists of a framework of
longitudinal strings or cords a. a and cross bars or rods e. e of wood or metal.

The

page_text: longitudinal strings or cords a. a are attached to two stouter cross bars or rods b,
one at each end, and the cords or strings are passed through holes in such bars or
rods, and knotted or tied so as to be easily shortened or lengthened to suit the size
of the bed to which the airer is to be fixed. To the cross bars b are attached
slings or loops e at one end, and at the other ends are straps d.d by means of which
the airer can be slung from the four bed posts, as shewn by the drawing.
In order that the longitudinal cords or strings a. a may be maintained at equal
distances apart, and more support be offered to the top bed, such strings or cords
are passed through holes, or else around the intermediate bars e. e.
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 :-
The cords or strings a. a, the rods b. b, slings or straps for fastening to the bed
posts, and cross rods or stays e. e, all in combination, as and for the purpose herein
described and substantially as illustrated by annexed drawing.
