Definitions

• My invention relates to waterbag-supporting attachments for beds, being particuarly adapted for attachment to iron beds, such as are used in hospitals.
• the object of my invention is to provide an attachment which can'be manufactured at a comparatively small cost and which may be attached-to either side of the bed in such a manner that when not in use it is both out of sight and out of the way.
• the device while comprising a minimum number of parts, is adapted to form a strong and rigid support for the water-bag.
• a further object of my invention is to pr 0- vide the device with an extensible support by means of whicn the bag may be held at any desired elevation.
• FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a bed provided with my attachment in its operative position.
• Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view through the tubular standard and its support which is clamped to the bed.
• Fig. 3 is a view corresponding to Fig. 2 and illustrating the position of parts when the standard is in its horizontal position.
• Fig. 4 is a top plan View of the side rail of the bed showing the position of the device when not in use.
• Fig. 5 is a sectional view taken along the line 5 5, Fig. 3.
• the attachment comprises a clamping member 2, provided with jaws 3 and 4, which receive between them the inwardly-disposed top flange 5 of the rail 1.
• a set-screw 6 passes through the jaw 4 and secures the clamp positively to the rail.
• the clamp is provided with a square socket 7, open toward the rail, and has an inwardly-projecting extension 8, provided with a round or reduced opening communicating with the socket 7.
• this shank 12 is rovided at its outer end with a pin 13, w ich engages and holds a washer 14 against a coiled spring 15, which at its outer end presses against the clamp 2.
• the portion 11 of the locking member is of suiiicient length to enable the standard 9 to be held by the spring 15 against the rail 1 without being withdrawn from the socket 7.
• the spring will, however, permit the member 11 to be drawn farther outwardly, and as soon as it has been withdrawn entirely from the socket the standard and the holding-piece may be turned a quarter-revolution in either direction, when the member 11is in position to be again inserted into thesocket 7- When the parts are in this position, the standard will be disposed horizontally below the side rail.
• the spring 15 will therefore act automatically to draw the member 11 fully into the socket 7, as seen in Fig. 3.
• the parts will then be held, as shown in Fig. 4, practically out of sight and where they will not interfere with the use of the bed.
• socket 7 and the member 11 should be squared; but they should present positive engaging surfaces, which will hold the member 11 against turning when it is in the socket.
• the spring which gives an automatic operation for the device; but it is obvious that this may be dispensed with and a set-screw, as indicated in dotted lines, Fig. 5, used to hold the shank in the socket.
• the device is reversible, which enables it to be used on either side of the bed.
• a socket-piece a bag-supporting member having a shank adapted to be inserted into said socketpiece, a spring to yieldingly hold said parts together, portions on the socket-piece and shank whic hold said member against pivotal movement on said shank, said spring. permitting said shank to be moved so as to bring said portions out of engagement after which said member is adjusted, and said portions brought back into engagement, substantially as described.
• an integral socket piece provided with clamping-jaws, a set-screw, and a socket squared at one end and rounded at the other, in combination with a bag-supporting standard, an angularly-klisposed shank connected thereto which is squared at its inner end and reduced at its other end, said reduced portion 'being adapted to pass through said socket, a spring engaging said shank and tending to draw said squared portion into the squared end of said socket while permitting it to be withdrawn therefrom, and a vertically-adj ustable bag-supporting member carried by said standard, substantially as described.
