To all whom it may Concern:

Be it known that ll., Ghonoi; BENEDETTI, e eitixen ot italy, residing et Dnnlevy, in the county of lllnshington and Stale oi Penn- Sylvania, have invented new and useful linprovenionts in Bed-Springe, of Which the following is :i speoiiention.

'lhe invention. relates to hed springs, and more particularly to the class of invalide adjustable bed springs.

ii`he primary object of the invention is the provision of n hed spring in which an invalid, when placed thereon, be readily and easily positioned in different attitudes, thereby avoiding the necessity4 et lifting the invalid by hand. Another object ot' the invention is the provision of a bed spring in which the seme is provided with head and foot sections readily and easily adjusted to varying ele vntions, and that may loe looked together, so that the invalid may he raised et the head ot' the hed, so that the oody Will :resume en inclination toward the 'ool; of such hed.

n. ifnrther object of the invention ie the provision olf n. hed spring which is simple in eonstruetion, strong, durable, thoroughly reliet/lo end elleient in its purpose, and ineX- pens-sive in inninignetnre.

With these and other objects in View, they invention consists 1n the construction, eemhinntion and arrangement ot' parte, es will he hereinafter more folly described, illustrated in the noeonninnying'. drawings, and pointed out in the appended olonne.

in the drnwings: Fignre is n top plan view oi n bed spring constructed in accordance with the invention. Fig. 2 is ai side elevation thereof. 3 is n vertienl longi tmlinnl sectional view through the bed spring, Fig. is n fragmentary perspective View ol' the re-.ir portion of the heil ilipring, the heini sei-.tion boing shown inI slightly raised pofiition. Fig'. 5 is e fragmentary side elevnion olE the hond sertion iir slightly rnised position.

Similar reference ehnrueere indicate oorresnoniling parte throughout the several views ot' the drawings.

".lv'rl'erring to the drawings liv numerals, the heil spring comprises n iii-nine, including snnelyd parallel side supporting' rails 5, the suine being formed nt opposite ends with inwnrilly bowed vertically disposed legs' or rests (5 :.,nd 7, respectively, the rails 5 being connected together by ineens of Cross here 8, so as to give rigidity to the hed spring, and the rests or legs 6 env C. ere adapted to have `their hearings upon the cross slots of :i loedsteed (notV shown), when being used by aninvnlid. Supported above the side rails 5 of the hed spring frame is n. spring body, forming adjustable heed and foot sections and 10, respectively, tho said spring' body being oonneeted to eide rails il :md lf3, the inner ends of which are hinged together and pivoteol1 as et 13, in vertical yoles le rising l'roin and integral with downwardly bowed or arched looking hars eentrnily thereof, the locking here, et opposite ends, being; hifnreeted Wto form forks 1G wl ich are adapted to re eeive the side hers il and 12 at opposite nidos of the pivots 13 connecting ne saine, the iorlis l@ being provided with dining openings receiving movable pins l? whichy also pass through the here il and l2, so :is to l i the seine against breaking et their hinged joint" Upon removal ei' one pin 17' ironi each loer, the head section Qiney be raised to the desired elevation. Normally, the downwardly arched or bowed bars 31.5l rest upon the-eide has 5 of the hed spring engage and are seated upon heering logs 18 formed on the lege or rests 7, while the outer ende of the here 12 nreeonneeted to the rests oy ineens or" pivots 19.'

Fired to and projeeting outwardly lob oit-oily from the here l2 or ihe hen-d section 9 nre hund loops 20, which permit the said foot ieetion to readily and easily raised or lowered. The hers il and l2 nre conn neoted in pairs, reepeotively, oy menne oit cross hreees 2l. i

Formed in the upper idees of the here 5 at. the heed the lied spring freine are notches 22, in which are adapted to he en gnged props 23, the seme being pivotal, :is :it 24, to the ours il and are united hv e cross rung Thus, it` viii he .eeen that. by these props, the heed section il may loe. held nt any desired elevation for supportas will he obvious.

When the downwardly bowed or arched members 15 are connected with the vrails ll und 12 for looking the saine against breaking at their joints, the head und foot seetions 9 und l() of the bed spring frame muy frame, and the outer ends of the hars ll x ing1 nn invalid in v-.n'ions reclining positions,

be raised at an incline in the direction of legs formed on the main frame, pivots connecting the foot section with a pair of said legs, downwardly arched members connected with the pivotal connections of the head and foot sections and engageable; with the the foot of a bedstead, thereby supporting an invalid at this inclination, it' desired.
