JULIA NOTT WAUGH, OF SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS.
CAMP BEDDING-ROLL.1,263,825.
Specification of Letters Patent.
Patented Apr. 23,1918.
Application filed July 6, 1917. Serial No. 179,105.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, JULIA Nor TWAUr,
a citizen of the United States of America,
and a .resident of San Antonio, county of
5 Bexar, and State of Texas, have invented
certain new and useful Improvements in
Camp Bedding-Rolls, of which the follow-
ing is a full and clear specification.
The object of this invention is to provide
10 a bedding roll in which the main sheet shall
be adapted to receive a mattress or be stuffed
w it h straw or grass or leaves, to enable it
to be used as a bed-sack, as more fully here-
inafter set forth.
15 In the drawing-
Figure 1 is a perspective view of my im-
proved appliance opened out flat; and
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view with the
flaps folded into place.
20 In the drawing, a designates- the main
sheet of the appliance and b the two side
flaps attached at their longitudinal edges to
the longitudinal edges of the main sheet and
extending the full length of the main sheet
25 and adapted to be folded over upon the
main sheet for use as bed covers. c desig-
nates another flap hingedly secured to the
foot-end of the main sheet and adapted to
be, like flaps b, folded over upon the main
30 sheet for use as a bed cover. The main
or base sheet has a supplemental sheet d
fastened at its edges to the longitudinal
edges of the main sheet and also along the
top or head-end of the main sheet, the foot-end of this sheet d being unattached to the 35
main sheet, whereby, by having this sheet
d made full, a pocket is formed the full
length of the main sheet, into which pocket
a mattress or - a stuffing of hay, grass or
leaves may be inserted to enable the appli- 4o
ance to be used as a bed.
When the appliance is used as a bed, the
side flaps and the foot flap are folded over
upon the body of the person lying upon
the mattress or sack. The foot flap serves 45
to close the lower end of the bed-sack. When
the pocket is not used to inclose a mattress
during transportation, it may, of course, be
used as a sort of clothing roll _ or to pack
camp equipment in when the camp is to 50
be moved.
The nature and scope of the invention
having been thus indicated and its preferred
embodiment having been specifically de-
scribed, what is claimed as new is: 55
A bed roll consisting of a main sheet and
a top sheet affixed to the main sheet along
the longitudinal edges thereof and along
its head edge, the foot edge of this top
sheet being unconnected to the main sheet, 60
thereby forming a pocket or pouch for the
reception of a mattress, etc., side flaps at-
tached to the side edges of the main sheet,
and a foot flap attached to the foot edge
of the main sheet, for the purposes set forth. 65
In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my
signature.
JULIA NOTT WAUGH.
