WOLF GREENMAN, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

METALLIC IBEDSTEAD.

Application filed December massive appearance of the more artistic wooden beds. To this end double walled panel constructions of sheet metal properly finished have been employed for the foot and headboards.

The object of this invention is to provide a. metallic bed of the character described, having foot and headboards provided with improved double wall panels, the construc tion of which shall be comparatively cheap to manufacture, easy to assemble, and practical to a high degree, said bed having its parts combined to form a comparatively light anddurable structure of the desired wood imitating appearance, and have in addition, other advantages which will in part be owious and in part more fully described herein.

Other objects of this invention will in part be obvious and in part hereinafter set forth.

The inv ntion accordingly consists in the features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangementof parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter described, and of which the scope of application will be indicated in the following claims.

in the accompanying drawing, in whichis shown one of the various possible illustrative eI-nhodiments of this invention,

stretcher member 125" interconnecting said A center panel 1 1 is mounted on the stretcher member 13 between the middle .stanchions l1 and a wing panel .15 preferably of arcuate cross-section is supported on said member 13 between each of the middie and end stanchions 11 and 12.

The stretcher member 13 ispreferably made of a single bow-shaped tube which extends through the middle stanchions 11 and is anchored thereto and to each of the end st-anchions 12 in any suitable manner, as by welding, to form a substantially braced structure.

The center panel 14 may be comprised of a single sheet of substantially flat metal havingthe bottom and side edge portions thereof inserted into slots 13 and 11 provided in the member 13 and stanchions l1 respectively, and having the upper edge portion finished in any suitable manner to give a pleasing appearance. Thus for example, the panel 1% may be provided with a curved transversely extending tubular stretcher member 16, to form a neat upper border for saidpanel and also serving as a cross brace for the upper ends of the stanchions 11.

Each of the wing panels 15 is of hollow construction made of sheet metal having a front wall 17 and a rear wall 18 spaced parallellytherefrom to form light and durable structure, and so as to give the panela massive appearance. Said walls 17 and 18 maybe arcuately bent transverse the height of each panel 15 to conform with the bow shape of end portions of member The outer wall 17 is made slightly largerthan the rear wall 18 to provide straight side and bottom edge extensions 17 and 1? respectively, and its upper edge is bent rearwardly to form a rounded edge face 17 for said panel 15 (see Figs. 2 and The rear wall 18 is made with bent side flanges 18 for evenly spacing said walls 17 and 18 from each other and has a forwardly bent, rounded edge 18" adapted to fit behind the edge face 17 so as to form an overlapped scam, the extreme edge of the face 17 being welded on the rearv side of thepanel 15 as s at 17 to form a continuous smooth upper surface for said panel 15. Said upper edge of each panel 15 is preferably fashioned to give it a pleasing shape, such as shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3.
