Definitions
- the present invention relates to a convertible sofa bed.
- This sofa is of the type comprising three panels rectangular hinged on each other two by two around axes parallel, these panels resting on legs and being covered by a comfort element in the form of a mattress.
- the signs can occupy a first sofa position in which a first substantially horizontal panel forms the seat, a second panel, adjacent to the first and substantially vertical forms the backrest and a third panel, folded against the second panel and also substantially vertical, forms the rear wall of the sofa.
- a second position corresponding to the bed position, the three panels are arranged in the same horizontal plane.
- Such a convertible sofa bed has the advantage of being of a simple structure, and of a simple and fast implementation for switch from the sofa position to the bed position.
- the object of the invention is to provide a convertible sofa bed of this type, in which armrests are integrated into the structure, these armrests being brought automatically to their position of use, in sofa position, and being folded down in bed position.
- the third panel has near each of its edges transverse to the axis of articulation on the second panel, and projecting from its turned face towards the second panel, in the sofa position, an arm which, in the sofa, crosses an opening in the second panel, and protrudes from it to deform the mattress and form an armrest.
- each arm of the third panel crosses a opening of the second panel, and deforms the mattress in the area of connection between the seat and the backrest to form two armrests.
- each arm has a first section perpendicular to the third panel, extended by a section extending substantially parallel to this panel towards the center of the sofa.
- each arm has a shape general of L.
- each opening made in the second panel to allow the passage of an arm of the third panel is formed by a rectangular cutout opening into the side edge correspondent of the second panel and in its hinge edge on the first panel, while the first panel comprises, beyond the axis of articulation on the second panel, and on each side, an extension in the form of a shutter partially closing one of the openings of the second panel when the different panels are aligned in position horizontal.
- the flaps belonging to the first panel allow you to restore a certain continuity at the level of the mattress, in bed position, which would not be the case if the openings intended for the passage of the arms were not blocked by the shutters, these openings could then constitute areas of discomfort.
- the sofa shown in the drawing includes three panels of general rectangular shape hinged to each other two by two around parallel axes. This is a first panel 2, a second panel 3 and a third panel 4.
- the first panel and second panels 2, 3 are hinged one on the other about an axis 5 while the third panel 4 is articulated on the second panel 3 around a axis 6.
- the first panel is mounted on a front base 7, while the third panel is hinged at 8 on a second base or rear base 9. All three panels are covered by a mattress 10 ensuring comfort both in the sofa position and in the bed position.
- the second panel 3 presents, at level of each of its lateral edges, and of its hinge edge on the first panel, a rectangular opening 12.
- the first panel presents at level of each of its edges, an extension 13 in the form of a flap partially closing an opening 12 of the second panel 3 when the different panels are aligned in a horizontal position.
- the third panel 4 comprises, near each of its edges transverse to the articulation axis 6, and projecting from its face facing the second panel, in the sofa position, and towards the floor in bed position, one arm 14.
- each arm 14 is constituted by an L-shaped tube comprising a first section 15 perpendicular to the third panel and a second section 16 parallel to the third panel and directed towards the center of the sofa.
- the positioning of each arm 14 on the third panel is such that sofa position, the free end of the arm 15 passes through an opening 12 in the second panel and exceeds it to deform the mattress and constitute an armrest 17, as shown in the drawing in particular in the figures 1, 2 and 4.
- the arms 14 When the sofa is actuated towards its bed position, the arms 14 are remove openings 12, and come down, as shown in particular in Figures 3 and 6. In this bed position, the flaps 13 first panels partially close the openings 12 corresponding, thus avoiding that these openings harm the comfort of occupants of the bed.
- the invention provides a great improvement to the existing technique by providing a sofa bed convertible with simple and retractable armrests automatically when switching to the bed position.
