Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a device for transforming a sofa into a bed and it relates more particularly to the structure allowing the simultaneous rotation of the sofa and the bed.
  • sofas which, by different rotations, make it possible to transform the sofa into a bed.
  • sofas whose backrest tilts to form with the seat a horizontal base constituting the bed.
  • Other sofas such as the convertible sofas include means for the horizontal seat to unfold in order to constitute the bed base.
  • the sofas can be modified when the user has previously removed either the cushions or the cover which covers the latter before being unfolded.
  • the bed must be made for each use, because the thickness of the sheets and blankets prevents manipulation of the sofa.
  • each of the sofas described above does not make it possible to obtain appreciable comfort. Indeed in the case of sofas whose backrest tilts we see that the seat of the bed is less wide than standard sizes such as 120cm or 140cm.
  • the device comprises on each of the vertical uprights of the frame a bracket, one of the branches of which is integral with the rigid plate, while the other branch cooperates with an inclined cross member around which pivots a horizontal plane forming the seat of the sofa.
  • Fig. 1 is a perspective view illustrating the sofa bed in the sofa position.
  • Fig. 2 is a vertical section showing the tilting device in the position of FIG. 1.
  • Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing the sofa bed in the bed position.
  • Fig. 4 is a vertical section illustrating the tilting device in the position of FIG. 3.
  • a sofa bed 1 comprising a frame 2 fixed against a wall 3 and provided with vertical uprights 2 a and an upper cross member 2 b .
  • a rigid plate 4 a forming the bed base of a bed 4 and which is connected to each of the vertical uprights 2 a by a pivoting bracket 5.
  • Opposite the mattress 7 a and between the wall 3 and the tray 4 a is provided with another mattress 4 b for the bed 4.
  • the bracket 5 is provided with two perpendicular branches 5 a and 5 b of which at least one and more particularly that referenced 5 b has at its free end a rounded profile reinforced by a metal plate 5 c of the same profile.
  • Each bracket 5 is connected to the respective upright 2 a of the frame 2 by means of an axis of rotation 5 d .
  • the branch 5 a of each of the brackets 5 is fixed on the side of the rigid plate 4 a forming the bed base of the bed 4, while its free end is connected to the piston rod 8 a of a jack 8 whose body is integral of the vertical upright 2 a corresponding.
  • the branch 5 b of the brackets 5 has at its free end an axis of rotation about which pivots an inclined bar 7 b forming the foot of the sofa 7.
  • a substantially horizontal panel 7 c forming the seat of the sofa 7 and on which a mattress is placed 7 d .
  • the panel 7 c is arranged just below the branch 5 b of each bracket 5 so that its upper and rear edge is in permanent contact with the rounded profile of the branch 5 b when the sofa 7 is transformed into a bed 4.
  • the upper and rear edge of the panel 7 c comprises a metal plate 7 e which is in contact with the metal reinforcement 5 c of the branch 5 b .
  • the plate 7 e and the reinforcement 5 c are provided with a particular surface condition which constitutes a non-slip or adherent connection. Indeed, the high adhesion contact between the plate 7 e and the reinforcement 5 prevents the premature opening of the plate 4 a thus forming a safety device.
  • a tilting foot 4 c which makes it possible to support said plate 4 a when the bed 4 is in the open position, as shown in FIG. 4.
  • the opening of the plate 4 a makes it possible to completely fold the sofa 7 below said plate without the user proceeding before the modification of the sofa.
  • the mattress 4b is strapped on the board 4 has to allow the user to not change the bed every time.
