Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support structure for beds, sofas and the like with a back or bedhead member which can be laterally rotated.
  • Beds which can be converted into sofas or sofas which can be converted into beds have a very wide range of applications in the field of furnishing, since it is useful in many cases to have one or other of these pieces of furniture available to meet particular circumstances.
  • back members which can be disposed in a plurality of positions, both aligned and adjacent along one side or at either end of the sofa or opposite one another on the opposite sides of the sofa or elsewhere and such that their inclination can also be modified; a similar need arises with beds, where it should be possible to provide a bedhead with different inclinations and orientations, depending on requirements, so that pillows and the like, for instance, be supported in various positions.
  • a support structure for beds, sofas and the like which is formed by a frame bearing a plane stuffed member designed to form a mattress or seating, which frame comprises a longitudinal beam provided in the vicinity of at least one of its ends with a vertical pin around which there may rotate a curved arm bearing on its free, upwardly facing, end a stuffed member designed to act as a back and/or bedhead member.
  • the frame is provided, at the location of each pin, with a curved guide rigid therewith and disposed horizontally coaxial to the pin and extending over an angle which is at least equal to, or higher than, the angle of rotation provided for the curved arm, having slipways, with a two-sided connection, with which corresponding sliding support and connection members for the curved arm supported by the relative pin are engaged.
  • rollers There are two pairs of angularly spaced rollers.
  • the stuffed member designed to act as a back and/or bedhead member, supported by the curved arm(s) is formed by two adjacent portions hinged together and at the free end of the curved arm with a horizontal axis, which can be independently orientated with respect to this axis.
  • Means for locking the stuffed back or bedhead members in the desired inclination are advantageously provided.
  • a sofa or bed of the invention comprises a structure 1 bearing the stuffed mattress or seating 2, shown diagrammatically in the Figure, which structure comprises a support beam 3 to which the legs 4 bearing on the floor are connected, and bears, at one or both ends, a pin 5 about which a curved arm 6 rotates.
  • This curved arm in turn, comprises at its end a curved horizontal fascia 7 which bears, with an articulated connection, the panels 8, 9 bearing the stuffed back or bedhead member 10 whose stuffed portion 11 is shown diagrammatically in the Figure.
  • the slides 13, 14 provide in this way the rigid connection, in a vertical and torsional direction, of the arm 6 with the frame 1, together with the pin 5, while the arm itself is free to rotate about the axis of the pin 5, and can rotate in opposite directions through some 90° with respect to the median position shown in the Figure.
  • the structure of the invention makes it possible to provide a single bed, by disposing the members 10 such that they form heads at the ends of the seating 2, which may be converted into a sofa by rotating the members 10 to form a back member along one of the sides of the plane 2, maintaining the aesthetic features of the structure in all cases; the structure of the invention, if applied to the head of a bed, for example a double bed, allows the members 10, forming the bedhead in this case, to be arranged in a position suitable for sleeping, for example with the panel 9 disposed horizontally, as shown in Fig. 3, and the panel 8 close to vertical, or with the panels 8, 9 aligned and obliquely disposed as shown in Fig.
  • Figs. 6, 7 and 8 various arrangements are possible, for example with the back members 10 aligned on one side of the sofa (Fig. 6), with the back members 10 facing one another on either side of the sofa (Fig. 7), or even with one or both of the back members 10 disposed on the sides of the sofa itself (Fig. 8), or obviously in the intermediate positions, wherein in each of these positions the inclination to vertical of the panels 8, 9 of the back members may also be varied in accordance with the user's requirements.
