WILLIAM F. HOWE, OF GALVESTON, TEXAS.
IMPROVEMENT IN MOSQUITO-BAR FRAMES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 158,713, dated January 12, 1875; application filed
September 26, 1874.To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIA F. IIowE, of
Galveston, in the county of Galveston and
State of Texas, have invented a new and use-
fnl Improvement in Mosquito-Bar Attachment
for Low-Post Bedsteads, of which the follow-
ing is a specification:
Figure 1 is a top view of my improved at-
tachment. Fig. 2 is a side view of the same,
showing it as attached to the head-board of a
bedstead, and part being broken away to
show the construction.
Similar letters of reference indicate corre-
sponding parts.
The invention will first be :fully described,
and then pointed out in the claim.
A are two rods or light posts, in the lower
part of each of which are formed two slots,
the lower parts of which are made wide enough
for the passage of the heads of two screws or
bolts, to be attached to the posts or end board
of a bedstead. The upper parts of the said
slots are made narrow, to fit around the bodies
of said screws or bolts, as shown in Fig. 2. B
are two bars, pivoted to each other at the cen-
ter, and from the pivot of which two cords, C,
extend to the upper ends of the posts A, one
to each post, and are secured to said upper
ends. D is a cord, which passes around the
ends of the bars B, and rests in notches formed
in said ends. The ends of the bars B may
be kept from slipping upon the cord D byknots formed in said cord, one upon each side
of each end of each of the said bars B.. To
one end of each of the bars B is attached a
pin, bi, which pins are inserted in holes formed
in the posts A a little distance below their
upper ends, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. The
netting or gauze is spread over the bars in the
usual way.
With this construction, by withdrawing the
pins b' from the posts A, and slipping the
cord D from the ends of the bars B, and de-
taching the posts A from the bedsteads, the
bars B may be folded together, and they and
the post A tied into a small and compact roll,
very convenient for storage and transporta-
tion.
If desired, the brace-cords C may be replaced
by brace-bars, the enter ends of which rest
against the posts A at a little distance below
the ends of the bars B.
Having thus described myinvention, I claim
as new and desire to secure by Letters Pat-
ent-
The combination of two rods, A A, two cen-
trally-pivoted diagonal bars, B B, a ircum-
jacent cord, D, and cords C C, extending from
central pivot to the rods, as and for the pur-
pose described.
