  • the sofa is provided with a backrest articulated with respect to the horizontal seat, so after unlocking the file, it can be deployed angularly to position themselves in a plane extending the bench seat with this latter the double bed places desired.
  • this deployment represents again, minimal physical effort, while it requires also the displacement of the whole, when the sofa, as is often the case, is arranged against a partition or wall; in this case the angular deployment of the backrest cannot be done by removing the set from said partition, where maneuver and physical effort can be revealed painful for the user.
  • the invention aims to remedy these drawbacks and allows make a sofa convertible into bedding, or simply "convertible sofa” according to current terminology, does not requiring a simple and painless maneuver particular for the passage from one position to the other and back to the first.
  • the invention relates to a furniture arrangement such that armchair or more particularly sofa made up of a horizontal bench seat and backrest, the sofa being of the type convertible into a bed and comprising for this purpose on the one hand fixed structure and secondly movable movable elements with respect to said fixed structure between an erased position inside the fixed structure, under the bench seat part, and a horizontally deployed position while extending the bench seat towards the front of the sofa, to conform an oblong sleeping surface, and the furniture is characterized in that the backrest and the bench seat belong to the fixed structure, the mobile elements consist of two telescopic drawers, i.e.
  • an external retractable drawer under the bench and an internal retractable drawer in the said external drawer the two drawers being deployable by simple pull on the internal drawer towards their exit position, the two drawers each having in their upper part a horizontal rest plane, such as in the deployed position drawers, a first plan of rest, resting on the drawer external and a second rest plane resting on the drawer internal are located in the extension of each other and substantially in the plane of the seat, the two planes and the bench seat then forming the sleeping surface in the position bedding.
  • the sofa has a mattress consisting of three flaps hinged on each other, i.e. a first fixed flap resting on and being mounted integral with the seat, a second flap movable from a folded position over and against the first part, to reinforce the comfort of the bench seat and a deployed position bearing on the first plane of rest of the external drawer, in the extension of the first part, and finally a third part, articulated on the second part and itself also movable between a folded position, coming to bear substantially vertical on the back of the sofa to enhance the comfort of the latter, and a deployed position, bearing on the second plane of internal drawer rest, to complete the rest surface horizontal in the extension of the second part.
  • the thicknesses of the three components are differentiated and adapted to compensate for inequality in the layered positioning of the rest planes surmounting the external and internal drawers, the upper surfaces of the three shutters together defining a sleeping mattress being substantially in the same plane.
  • the first mobile rest plan is integral with the edges, in particular the sides, of the external drawer and the second mobile rest plan is itself articulated on the front of the external drawer, this second mobile rest plane being angularly movable between a folded position against the first movable rest plane and a deployed position resting on the edges of the internal drawer for use bedding, the articulated displacement of the mobile rest plan allowing access to the interior volume of the drawer internal, thus able to contain the sleeping accessories, such as blanket, sheets and pillows.
  • the sleeping accessories such as blanket, sheets and pillows.
  • first rest plane integral with the external drawer consists of spaced transverse slats resting on the lateral edges of the external drawer
  • second rest plane hinged on the front edge of the external drawer is also formed of slats, mounted on two side rails, the slats of the second flap being arranged and dimensioned so as to position itself, in the position of the second flap folded against the first flap, between the slats of the said first part
  • the side edges of the internal drawer are positioned at a level lower than the side edges of the outer drawer, such that the side members of the second rest plane being deployed angularly to come to bear on said edges sides of the internal drawer, the slats resting on the side members constituting the second rest plane, are located in the same plane as the slats in the foreground of rest, the two planes being in a mutual extension coplanar.
  • the hinge in the background rest on the front end of the side edges of the drawer external is done on each side by an intermediate piece, forming a double joint splice respectively on the front end of said lateral edge of the external drawer and on the end, facing the corresponding spar belonging to the second rest plane;
  • the third movable flap of the mattress is connected to the second movable flap by articulated means, such as a connection flexible, arranged on the upper surface of the mattress in its deployed position, ensuring the continuity of this surface horizontal plane in the bedding position.
  • the adjacent faces facing each other and respectively the second and the third part form by relative to their underside, in the bedding position, becoming upper side in the sofa position, an angle at more equal and preferably greater than 45 °, so that in the folded position of the mattress, towards the sofa position, these two flaps respectively lining the bench and the sofa backrest form a slight angle between them greater than 90 °.
  • Figures 1A and 1B show perspective views of a sofa according to the invention respectively in its sofa or seat position (1A) and in its bedding position (1B), after drawer deployment telescopic.
  • Figure 2 shows a sectional view of the convertible sofa according to Figures 1A and 1B, in position seat, Figure 3 showing the same sofa in the position bedding, after deployment of the telescopic drawers.
  • FIG. 4 represents a detail view of the articulation of the second plane of rest on the front end of the external drawer, in the folded position of said second plane, while the Figure 5 shows the first and second rest plan mobile in the deployed position on their support drawers respective.
  • the convertible sofa has a fixed backrest 1 and a fixed seat 2, integral with the backrest, as well as two side armrests 3 and 3 ', also fixed and secured to the seat and backrest.
  • the front face of the external drawer 4 is free for allow the internal drawer to be engaged or released 5.
  • the external drawer is associated with a first rest plane 6, integral with the lateral edges of said drawer and constituted by example of successive slats, spaced apart, 7, 7 ', 7 '', resting by their ends on the side edges of this drawer.
  • a second rest plane 8 is also formed of slats 9, 9 ′, 9 '', mounted on two rails 10 and 10 '; the whole forming of the second rest plane is articulated on the front end of the lateral edges 4A of the external drawer, as shown in Figures 4 and 5.
  • the upper edges 11 and 12 side edges of the external drawer 4 and of the internal drawer 5 are offset in height, which will allow, as seen in figure 6, the support of the second rest plane 8 on its carrying drawer 5, the second rest plane then being in coplanar position relative to the first rest plane secured to the external drawer.
  • the upper edge 12 is at a lower level, relative to the neighboring edge 11 a distance L1 corresponding to the thickness E1 of the beam 10, so that when, after angular pivoting towards its deployed position according to arrow F ( Figure 1B and Figure 4), the spar 10 is supported on its receiving edge, the slats 9, 9 'lie in the same plane as slats 7, 7' of the first rest plane secured to the external drawer.
  • the articulation of the second rest plane 8 on the end upper side edges of the external drawer 4 is done by a splint 13 with two joints 14 and 15, known per se and which allows to position the slats of the two planes of rest in the extension of each other.
  • the internal drawer 5 has a pan 5A, provided possibly gripping means such as handle (not shown, this section constitutes the lower front of the bench in the seat position; traction can also be exercised by gripping the ends 5B on each side of the pan 5A; a 5C bottom provided on the drawer 5 allows to contain the sleeping accessories such as sheets, pillows and / or covers, when changing from the bedding position to the seat position.
  • the interior space of the internal drawer being made accessible by the pivoting nature of the rest plan terminal 8, as previously described. This construction therefore allows to have elements on site immediately usable to instantly switch from seat use to bedding use.
  • the described assembly is completed by a rest structure in flexible and compressible material, forming mattress 16 and consisting of three parts; a fixed flap 16A rests on the rigid bench seat 2, of which it can be made integral.
  • the flap 16B is articulated at 17A on the front end of the first flap 16A, and a third flap 16C extends beyond the joint 17B the flap 16B (FIGS. 1A and 3).
  • the thickness of the first part 16A is weaker than that of the two parts 16B and 16C, to compensate for the drop in level of the rest plan 6 relative to the fixed seat 2, since the rest plane 6, mounted on drawer 4 must fit under the seat.
  • flaps 16B and 16C are bevelled at an angle equal to or greater than 45 °, so that after folded against each other ( Figure 3) these faces adjoining determine between the two flaps 16B and 16C an equal angle or greater than 90 °, the flap 16B overcoming the flap 16A to complete the comfort of the bench seat, while the flap 16C pressing on the backrest 1 provides back support comfortable for the user.
