DESCRIPTION

The invention relates to a wooden frame, which does not contain any metal, for loose, especially foldable supports such as futons , which can be converted into a sofa, a bed and
a lounger can be converted«

Sofas with bed and/or reclining functions are well known, but contain metal mechanisms that are in a
Bed is undesirable. If another solution
(EP 0 145 482) the entire frame must be moved,

The object of the invention is to provide a completely made of |.

Natural material such as wood frame with §

This task is solved by a frame made of i

head section (1), middle section (2) and foot section (3),

each of which is supported by a parallel pair of runners (8,9, 10)

and crossbars running at right angles to this (5)

are formed, with the buys rounded down and J

Foot part (3) and middle part (2) hinged, but non-detachable

bar with each other, head part (1) and middle part (2) are however connected to each other in a hinged and detachable manner*

The cross slats (5) are, analogous to a conventional slatted frame, either glued to the parallel runners, by dowelling or attached in another way without metal aids such as nails or screws.

The articulated connection of the head, middle and foot sections is made using metal-free connections, preferably wooden dowels.

A support (4) is attached to the headboard (1), which can be folded out to function as a bed and can be fixed in a desired position using a perforated band (6) attached to the headboard. Another perforated band (7) is attached to the middle section and is used in the sofa function after folding up the middle section and foot section to form the backrest of the sofa to fix the middle and foot sections in the folded up position - the head and middle sections can be detached from each other.

Function and advantages of the frame according to the invention Are explained below using the figures:

Figure 1 shows the frame in its function as

Figure 2 shows the frame in its function as a bed and

Figure 3 shows the frame in its function as a sofa, both in side view.

Figure 4 shows a top view of the foot, middle and head

it I I a <

part, in disassembled condition before assembly. Figures 5, 6 and 7 show the head section, middle section and foot section again in side and front views.

In the reclining function, the head section (1) is folded up and held in place by a fold-out support (4). The angle of inclination can be determined by the length of the connecting perforated band. In the sofa function, the foot section (3) and middle section (2) are also held in the desired inclination by a perforated band (7). The bed is converted into a sofa by pulling the support (preferably a futon) towards the head section (1) and laying it down there folded in half. By pulling up on a slat above the joint (11) (see Figure 4) of the middle section (2) and foot section (3), they stand up in a roof shape. Now the perforated bands, which are looped between the slats at one end around the middle section runners, are secured with the other ends to the foot section at the desired inclination and the upper third of the support is leaned against the middle section, which now serves as a backrest. Since the support is doubled at the seat height, the result is a comfortable seat height and the front curve creates a desirable inclination of the seat.

With the frame according to the invention, whose wooden runners are rounded, it is possible to fold up the headboard and turn it from a bed into a reclining position, with the headboard serving as a backrest. By setting up the middle and foot sections in a roof shape and laying the headboard flat, a sofa is created.

&bull; · > &iacgr; · ti.

The joints between the head, foot and middle sections are wooden dowels, whereby the detachable connection between the head and middle sections is achieved _by the joint dowels of the pair of runners of the head section resting in U-shaped recesses in the runner part of the middle section.
