p, COMBINED HAMMOCK AND ACCOUTREMENTS.
SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent No. 672,731, dated April 23, 1901.
Application filed September 17, 1900. Serial No. 30,2 28- kNo model-l City, in the county of Holtand State of Missouri, have invented new and useful Improvements in a Combined Hammock and Accoutrements, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to certain new and useful improvements in combined hammocks and accoutrements, the object being to provide a tarpaulinor piece of fabric which is made up in such a manner that it may be as a hammock, a section of a shelter-tent, a
knapsack or haversack, a blanket-roll, or as a 'poncho- -as will be hereinafter set forth.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of a tarpaulin made up in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a side elevation showing the same when utilized as a hammock. Fig. 3 is a View showing the same used as a poncho. Fig. 4: is a perspective view showing it folded in knapsack form.
Fig. 5 is aperspective view showing two sections secured together to provide a sheltertent. Fig. 6 is a plan View showing a modification of the structure shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 7is a perspective view showing a haversack made up from a part or one end of the tarpaulin shown in Fig. 6. Figs. 8 and 9 are detail views showing the means employed for connecting the hammock-supports to each other.
The accoutrements of a soldier usually include a knapsack, a haversack, and a blanketroll, or a knapsack and a haversack; and my, invention is designed to provide such equipments, which are constructed so that they may be used for several different purposes without adding additional weight to the presentequipments.
In my Patent No. 650,554, dated May 29, 1900, I provided a combined knapsack and tent-section which was so constructed that it could be used as a hammock, and in my present invention Iemploy the features set forth in the claims of said patent, with certain additions, as will be hereinafter set forth.
As shown at Fig. 1 of the drawings, I employ a rectangular piece of fabric A, which I designate as a tarpaulin, the same being made up of canvas or other suitable fabric, and to the same I secure a reinforcing-strip Ct, to which fastening devices are secured in order that two of the pieces of fabric may be connected together for use as a shelter-tent, the diagonal strips or being where the fabric is folded, so that the corner portions beyond the strips will form the end flaps of the tent.
To each end of the rectangular piece of fabric or tarpaulin I secure loops b, which are arranged so that the looped ends will converge toward the center, and through these loops are passed cords or straps, which are made fast to suitable supports, so that the tarpaulin A may be supported for use as a hammock, as illustrated in Fig. 2. The hammock sticks or supports 1) I prefer to pass through rings b*, which rings or links are connected to rings 11 by links if, and the attachments or cords which pass through the loops 1) are made fast to the rings [9 and the knap sack-straps may be caused to engage the opposite rings b and extend therefrom to a stake or pin. The knapsack-straps c 0 can thus be utilized in maintaining the hammock in place. When the connected rings (shown in. Fig. 8) are not supplied as a part of the equipment, the suspendingcord, as shown in Fig. 9, which is passed through the loops b, can be used to connect the upper ends of the hammock-supports to each other. The ham mocksupporting sticks b may be secured to each other end for end, and when so secured can be utilized to maintain the tarpaulins or sec tions A in the form of a shelter-tent, as shown in Fig. 5.
Near one of the longitudinal edges of the tarpaulin I secure loops (1 d, which are designed particularly to support a gun on the outer side of the hammock, and adjacent to one of these loops the tarpaulin has secured to its edge a flap e, which may lie over the lock and breech mechanism of the gun to protect the same from the weather, as well as serving as a flap for the knapsack.
On the opposite side of the tarpaulin from the flap d, which is located to one side of the longitudinal center of the tarpaulin A, I secure a patch pocket D, which is stitched around three of its sides and is open at its side adjacent to the longitudinal edge. On
having semicircular rings or loops, similar straps d being fastened to the opposite side of the patch-pocket, and through these rings are passed the snap-hooks of knapsack-straps we when the tarpaulin has been properly folded. The flap c has slits 6, through which the straps d are passed, and the flap and patchpocket may be provided with means for holding the flap down or closed, which means can consist of buttons or loops or hooks and eyes. By folding the tarpaulin Alongitudinally and transversely it can be shaped practically in the form of a regulation knapsack,with an exterior'pocket which is covered by a flap, and into the tarpaulin before being folded may be placed articles of wearing-apparel, a blanket, or other parts of theequiprnent, and at the same time an outer pocket is provided for smaller articles.
' In order that the tarpaulin may be used as a poncho, I provide the saine'near its center with a transverse slit or openingfof sufficient size to admit the passage therethrough of the head of the user, so that, the tarpaulin may be used as a poncho or waterproof covering in rainy Weather, and incidentally this slit will serve a useful purpose when the tarpaulin is stretched for use as a sick bed or cot in hospital service. The slit fhas adjacent to its edges fastening devices f.
In Fig. 6 of the drawings I have shown a modification of my invention in which the tarpaulin A is divided.trausversely into sections A A and in this instance the section A has a patch-pocket D, which is of the size of an ordinary knapsack, attached to onecorner of the tarpaulin, the same having straps d d attached substantially as previously described, andinstead of attaching a fiap the flap is formed by slitting one edge of the tarpaulin and providing it with slits e adjacent to'where it is folded. The two sections of the tarpaulin are connected to each other by fastening devices 9 g, which maybe loops and snap-hooks or a lacing-cord, and when connected may serve all the purposes of the tarpaulin A. The smaller end section A of the tarpaulin is adapted to be folded, so as to assume the size and shape of a standard haversack, and its upper end is covered by a flap c and when used as a haversack only one set of straps or loops is used.
In practice when the equipment includes a tarpaulin, as shown in Fig. 1, and a sectional tarpaulin, as shown in Fig. 6, the tarpaulin A may be rolled so as to assume the form of a blanket-roll, while the parts A and A are used as kuapsacks and haversacks. When the tarpaulins shown in Figs. 1 and 6 are carried, they may be connected to form a sheltertent, and when one of the parts is used as a hammock the other part may be utilized as a covering. In the construction shown the knapsack and haversack are provided with flaps, so that the pockets may be closed, and when used as a tent the open ends of the pockets will be upward to receive such articles as may be placed therein. noted that when utilized as a hammock the open ends of the pockets will be upward. I
. 'Numerous modifications maybe made without departing from my invention, and it is obvious that different styles of fastening devices for connecting the parts may be used and the substitution of one fastening device for another should not be considered a departure from the invention.
1. A tarpaulin made up of a rectangular piece of fabric, a plurality of converging loops attached to both endsthereof, a patch-pocket secured to one side of the transverse center of the tarpaulin, a flap for the pocket attached to the longitudinal edge of the tarpaulin opposite the pocket, gun-supporting loops attached to the, tarpaulin to support a gun parallel with the edge of the same, one of said loops being located beneath the flap for the pocket,'substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.
2. Atarpaulin constructed'substantiallyas shown and provided with a patch-pocket, the open end of which is adjacent to one of the longitudinal edges ofv the tarpaulin, straps with rings attached adjacent to the patchpocket and a flap secured to the opposite edge of the tarpaulin said flap having slits through which a pair of the straps with rings may be passed, substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.
3. A tarpaulin having at its ends a plurality of converging loops, a strip secured to one side of the tarpaulin said strip extending diagonally to the end of the tarpaulin as shown, a pocket having-straps d d and opposite the pocket a flap having slits e e therethrough, the pocket having fastening devices for holding the flap over the open end of the pocket, substantially as shown and for the purpose set forth.
.4. A tarpaulin made up of a rectangular piece of fabric which is provided at its ends with a plurality of converging loops, a transverse opening located approximately near the longitudinal center of the fabric, means for closing said opening, a patch-pocket attached to the fabric on one side of its transverse and longitudinal center, a flap attached on the opposite edge of the fabric from the open end of the pocket, means for holding the flap over the open end of the'pocket, and straps which are adapted to be passed through openings in the flap, substantially as shown and-for the purpose set forth. 1
