Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a furniture unit constituted by a liftable desk and by a bed which alternately fold away.
  • the present invention relates to a furniture unit which is constituted by a desk, on which it is possible to stably place bulky objects such as for example a computer with its accessories, including the monitor, and by a bed, which is rested vertically on its longer side behind the desk.
  • the desk is lifted and by rising so as to remain perfectly horizontal at all times, by virtue of a suitable kinematic system constituted by levers, it allows to leave in place everything that is placed on the desktop even in the case of bulky objects, and the bed folds out and occupies the space previously occupied by the desk, which in the meantime has stopped in an elevated position, above the bed; by folding the bed backward again and lowering the desk again, the initial position is restored. All this is achieved by virtue of simple, practical and safe movements.
  • This invention meets the constant need to have products which are converted by virtue of simple movements, performing multiple functions and allowing maximum utilization of spaces; this is certainly a strongly felt requirement in the field of furniture and more particularly for children's rooms or rooms of communities or hotels, where objects having multiple functions are indispensable because space is truly essential.
  • Another drawback of known inventions is that there are no units which can be inserted in arch-shaped furniture, where the arch itself is used to conceal one of the functions offered by the unit.
  • Another drawback of known inventions is that even when a unit contains a bed, it is not always capable of offering a bed which is comfortable from any point of view and is sprung or made of latex or wool or of any other material and has the dimensions and thicknesses that are typical of an ordinary bed.
  • the aim of the present invention is to obviate these and other drawbacks by providing a furniture unit which is constituted by a liftable desk and by a bed which alternately fold away and in which, when the desk is raised, it is not necessary to clear it of bulky objects such as for example a computer with its accessories and monitor.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a furniture unit which is not only easy to insert in arch-shaped assemblies but in which the arch itself is used to conceal the desk function offered by the unit.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a furniture unit which contains a true bed, made of latex, sprung, made of wool or other materials, whose dimensions and thickness are equal to those of an ordinary bed.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a furniture unit at significantly low costs and which can be actuated in a very simple manner.
  • the furniture unit constituted by a liftable desk and by a bed which alternately fold away, according to the present invention, which essentially includes a structure made of quadrangular metal tubes which is composed of: two shaped horizontal front supports which are rigidly coupled to, and co-planar with, two shaped rear posts which provide ground resting and support for the articulations; three rear connecting cross-members, of which one is arranged in a downward region and the others are in an upward region and act as mattress retainers and spacers; three pairs of co-planar shaped articulated arms which are meant to provide support and produce the translatory motion of the desktop; a bedspring which rotates about two pivots which are pivoted to the two horizontal supports.
  • the first pair of shaped arms is internally pivoted at the upper end of the two posts and is articulated, at its other end, to the second pair of arms, which is in turn articulated, at its other end, to the third pair, which is pivoted to the two posts at its other end.
  • Two cross-members, acting as support for the desktop, are rigidly coupled to the second pair of shaped arms.
  • the unit has the desk in the position for use, allowing to place bulky objects, such a- for example the computer with its monitor, on the desk, and the bed is overturned vertically on its longer side behind the desk and is retained by the metal connecting cross-member of the fixed structure, which also locks the bed in its inactive position.
  • bulky objects such as a- for example the computer with its monitor
  • the desktop When the bed is required, the desktop is lifted by pushing upward the longer front side of the desktop; the movement is advantageously facilitated for example by two spring/damper units which are arranged appropriately.
  • the desk performs a translatory motion so as to remain horizontal at all times, rotates by being supported by the three pairs of articulated arms, which are pivoted to each other and to the pair of posts, and is locked, after rotating through 90°, in the raised position, leaving free the space for the bed below it. If the furniture unit has been conveniently inserted in an arch-like assembly, it is possible to insert the desk, with everything that lies on it, in the door-paneled portion that lies above the arch, which is conveniently modified.
  • two plates which are advantageously welded to the pair of shaped horizontal supports, act as retainers for the bedspring and two mattress containment sides, made of light metal rod and rigidly coupled to the bedspring, act as retainers for the desk when it is in the raised position.
  • the unit according to the invention essentially has a structure made of quadrangular metal tube, which is composed of: a pair of shaped horizontal supports 1, which is rigidly coupled, for example by welding, to a pair of shaped rear posts 2 which is co-planar thereto; and a lower cross-member 3 and an upper cross-member 4, which are rigidly coupled, for example by welding, to the two rear posts 2, acting as a spacer.
  • the unit furthermore has three pairs of mutually articulated co-planar arms.
  • the first pair of arms 6, to which the cross-member 7 is rigidly coupled, for example by welding, is pivoted at one end to the pair of shaped posts 2 by virtue of the pair of pivots 5 rigidly coupled thereto, and is anchored at its other end, for example by welding, to the pair of articulations 8, which are also easily commercially available and to which the second pair of L-shaped lever arms 9 is also rigidly coupled;
  • the cross-members 10 and 11 are rigidly coupled to the lever arms, for example by welding, acting as a linkage between the arms and as a support for the desktop 12, which is anchored to them by virtue of screws or equivalent retention systems.
  • the pair of articulations 13 is anchored, for example by welding, to the other end of the pair of arms 9; the third pair of L-shaped arms 14 is also rigidly coupled to the articulations 13 and is pivoted, at its other end, to the pair of posts 2 by virtue of the pair of pivots 15 rigidly coupled thereto.
  • the pair of bushes 16 is rigidly coupled to the shaped horizontal structure 1, for example by welding, and the cross-member 18 is pivoted to the pair of bushes by virtue of the pair of pivots 17, is made of quadrangular metal tube and is arranged inside the pair of horizontal supports 1.
  • the pair of shaped seats 19 is rigidly coupled to the cross-member 18, for example by welding, and is also rigidly coupled, for example by welding, to the bedspring 20, which is made of quadrangular metal tube and is suitable to receive the conventional supporting members for the mattress 21.
  • the bedspring 20, arranged inside the pairs of articulated arms 6, 9 and 14, is adequately spaced from the cross-member 18, so that the cladding panel 22 can be easily inserted between the bedspring 20, to which it is anchored by virtue of screws or equivalent retention systems, and the cross-member 18.
  • the pair of spring/damper units 24 is articulated to the lower part of the pair of posts 2 about the pair of pivots 23 rigidly coupled thereto; the pair of spring/damper units is articulated at its other end, by virtue of the pair of pivots 25, to the third pair of arms 14, to which the pivots 25 are rigidly coupled.
  • the pair of lugs 26, made for example of metal plate, is furthermore rigidly coupled, for example by welding, to the pair of shaped horizontal supports 1; the lugs act as supports for the third pair of shaped arms 14 and accordingly for the desktop 12, which is rigidly coupled to the second pair of arms 9, which is pivoted to, and co-planar with, the third pair of arms 14 by virtue of the pair of articulations 13.
  • the desktop 12 is kept horizontal not only by the pairs of arms 14 and 9 but also by the first pair of shaped arms 6, which is pivoted to, and co-planar with, the second pair of arms 9 by virtue of the pair of articulations 8 at one end and is pivoted and internal to the pair of rear posts 2 by virtue of the pair of pivots 5 at its other end.
  • the pair of seats 19 thus rotated arranges itself below the third pair of arms 14, thus preventing any rotation thereof and therefore avoiding even accidental descent of the desktop 12 raised by the movement of the three pairs of arms 6, 9 and 14 and providing in practice a perfect safety lock of the extended kinematic system.
  • the lifting of the desktop 12 occurs so as to allow the refinement of repositioning it below the usual undersurface of any arch-like wardrobes, so that by simply arranging the undersurface 27 of the wardrobe, if provided, at a higher level, the objects that are present on the desktop 12 are concealed from sight by the doors 28 of the arch-like wardrobe, if provided.
