| 1998 | Invention patented by Scott E. Ventura on June 17th, 1998. Abstract: A cabin cot includes a canopy, a base sheet, and legs. The base sheet forms a bed portion, and the canopy includes window mosquito netting portions. A plurality of legs support the cabin cot. A pair of ribs having stop portions are assembled in end frame members, and the end frame members are connected to side members for supporting the base sheet. The ribs are formed as rods of flexible material, so that they can be stored or carried as a generally straight piece, and can be manually bent or flexed into position in the end frame member 40 when assembly is performed. The resiliency of the ribs serves to provide a retaining force which retains each rib in position in retaining apertures in the respective end frame member. The retaining apertures can be disposed at varying angles, and the angle of the retaining apertures determines the amount of force retaining the ribs to the end frame members. |
