Abstract

Mechanism for a sofa-bed enabling the adjustment in three positions comprising padding elements supported by two frames; said frames can reciprocally move by means of two angle-bars, concurrent in a point; one of said angle-bars 1 supports the frame forming the seat of the sofa-bed and the second one 2 supports the frame forming the back of the sofa-bed; moreover comprising a kinematism which supports said second angle-bar. The mechanism is characterised in that the angle-bars, without interposition of additional elements, constitute a release mechanism enabling the three positions; having the first angle-bar 1 a shaped profile 4, connected to a pawl 7 at two different points 4' and 4'', and having the second angle-bar a toothed profile 3 enabling a cam 9, fixed to said first angle-bar 1, to engage said toothed profile 3; in this way, the relative position among the two angle-bars is well determined both for "divan" and "relax". <IMAGE>
