. -Beit known that we, CHARLES J. KINDEL and ltiuioLrn (loornnsni'rn, citizens of the United States, and residents ol St. Louis,
5 Missouri, have invented certain new and useful .improvements in Davenport seds, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in davenport-bedsg and itconsists of the novel features hereinafter described and claimed.
The object of our invention is to construct a davenport to be readily and easily convert-- ed into a bed without removing the same from the wall against which it may be placed.
A further object of our invention is to devise a davenport comprising three'members and provided with a suitable lever mechanisniwhereby the baclsrest is brought in con-'- tact with the seat to protect the tapestry when in reversed position to 'form a second section ci the bed, the converting' mechanism being a somersz'iult action.

ings and suitably ornamented by ascroll" work 16. vided a clamp 17 comprising Aa split cylindrical member 18, its one side provided With a socket 19, into which is adapted to rest the wedge 20, carried by the bed-frame 21. The socket 19 is preferably tapered in forni to ac 'commodate the insertion of the wedge 20, so
that the same may be rigidlyv retained in position when placedtherein by its own weight.
The wedges 20 are suitably riveted to eachy end of the angle-bars 22, forming thev two sides of the bed-frame 21, and the said 'sides are held apart by the angles 23 and braced together that the same may be retained in square relation by thebraces 24; Secured to the horizontal bar of the angle-bars 22 are To each leg of the frame lis pro-r a plurality of slats 25, so bent as to stand on edge and to support the bed-springs 26.
The side frames 15 are eaclrprovded with` a converti ng mechanism, consisting cina hori- Zontal bar 27, its forward end 28, bent down-v ward and connected to" a side frame bythe bolt or rivet 29. The rear end is also con`- nected to the side frame byalike bolt, vand to f the horizontal bar is pivotally-c`onnected the bar 30, the 'upper end beivngpivotally'cennected to a bar 31,- which is secured to the back-frame 32. The bar 31 is also pivotally connected toA the lever 33 at the point'indi# cated by thenumeral 34. Said barsare retained in position against the backerame 32 at the points indicated by the numeral 35.
`The lever 33 is `provided with a double bend, the circumference of the bend'indil cated bythe numeral 36 being of less diames ter than the bend indicated by the numeral '37.' The portion of the lever 33 indicated by the numeral 37 forms the leg-rest forA the exm tended portion voli the bed and assumes ,thel
position as shown in Fig. 4, and the 'cause oi the bend 37 is to permit the 'toot 38, formed. on it'sl end, to come in contact against the rear sides of thebars 30 and 31 to support the back-rest when in the davenport position and also to provide anea't appearance when extended in a bed positiev nd tofprevent the `feet of the person from Ining in contact with the extended leg. Thelever33 isalso provided with a downwardlybent portion' 33, which-willassume vaposition .as shown in Fig. It when converted into a-bed and forms a foot and head rest for the movable section of the davenport. `'IhevbaLr/B is :also pro vided .atits lower end with a bend, (indicated bythe numeral 39,) Which will permit said bar tdre'tain the position as shownin Fig. 4,4 so
I thatrthe bar31, to which it is connected, may
assume a plane on alinement with zontal bar 27 The back-framet0 which the back-rest is the horisecured, consists of a pair ofangle-bar's 40,. connected to end frames 41, havin their ends-bent at right an les and suital ly ref tainedinrigid position .y thebraces 42. To
each of theangle-bars 40 are rigidly connect-v member 49 is held in tautl position upon the bed-frame by means of the' fabric 5|() and retained in position upon the angle-irons 22 by means of the hooks 48.l To the front upper corner ofthe bed member 4 9 is hingedly -connected-the seat member 51, the under sur- 'face of which, or, in other Words, the edge which contacts with the uppersurface of the bedmember 49,forms the bed portion when 4the, same is extended. To theA rear ed e of the seat, member is hingedly connecte the back-rest, which will permit the upholstering 46 to contact with the to surface of the seat member 51, protecting t e same when in reversed position to form the bed extension.
The seat member, as Well as the bed member, is provided with a depending curtain or valance 52, which hides the entire bed-frame 'from view.
Referringto the-modifications as shown in Figs. 12 and 13, the converting mechanism may be attached to a Wooden side frame and connected to plates 53 to thelower end of which isattached a U-sha ed socket 54, in which is supported the we ge 20 of the bed'- frame.
The obj ect of constructing a davenport-bed in this manner is to provide a cheap device a's Well as to enable themanufacturer to ship the same in parts, or, in other Words, as knockdown, and enabling the purchaser to plice the same together Without much diiiicu t constructed to be readily placed upon the upright of the side frame, and when adjusted to its desired height is retained in position by means of a-bolt or rivet, as shown in Figs. 9 and 10.. y
The operation of'our invention is as follows: To `convert our device from a daven- .port to a bed, the operator pulls forward upon -the top end ofthe bach-rest, which Will per- Tllie clamps 17, previously referred to, are
mit it to niove in a circular motionb means of the bars and levers, carrying witi it tlte seat member 51, until the upholstered portions come in contact both together, forming:r a somcrsault motion, until the undue side of the seat ortion is brough upward in a horizontal p ane with the upper surface of thc bed member. During this operation the bars and lever located on each end of the device are carried forward and suitably fold against one another until the foot 38 comes in contact with the floor and in the position shown in Fig. 4. This operation is done with but little exertion whatever and can be so operatedbya child.
