Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a folding bed.
  • Folding beds are currently known which are composed of an articulated frame that is supported by legs that are connected to it by articulation means.
  • a supporting element for a user such as a sheet or net, is arranged on the frame and is connected to the frame by way of elastic means, and a mattress rests thereon.
  • Folding beds of the type described above are also known which have an auxiliary portion that is also connected to the frame by way of articulation means and can be tilted at will and is designed to act substantially as a backrest/headrest.
  • auxiliary portion of currently known folding beds that acts as a backrest and can be tilted at will substantially allows only one user at a time to enjoy the sitting position with his back resting against said backrest.
  • said elastic means such as for example the helical springs, have a significant cost both in terms of purchase and in terms of assembly.
  • the aim of the present invention is to provide a folding bed that is functionally more versatile than current ones, since it can be used both as a bed and as a couch.
  • an object of the present invention is to provide a folding bed that does not use elastic means to connect the user supporting element to the frame.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a folding bed that is lightweight, compact in its folded configuration, and easy to assemble.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a folding bed that has limited constructive complexity with a consequent reduction of manufacturing costs.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a folding bed that is easy to maintain.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a folding bed that can be manufactured with known technologies.
  • a folding bed comprising a perimetric frame that is substantially flat in the unfolded configuration, is provided with means for resting on the ground and can be folded along transverse axes, and a supporting element for a user, which is stretched between the perimetric elements of said frame, said folding bed being characterized in that it comprises two end portions that are connected symmetrically to said frame in the positions designed for resting the head and feet with reversible locking and articulation means, said portions being able to tilt adjustably with respect to said frame and being connectable to each other by means of at least one rod-like element so as to produce a couch-like structural configuration.
  • said user supporting element is of the sheet-like type, wraps perimetrically around the frame and closes substantially by way of removable connecting means arranged on mutually opposite flaps of said sheet-like element.
  • said folding bed is characterized in that it comprises padded elements that are associable with said couch-like structure.
  • a folding bed according to the invention is generally designated by the reference numeral 10.
  • the folding bed 10 comprises a folding frame 11 that is substantially flat when it is arranged in its unfolded configuration and is composed of four first longitudinal members 12 that are connected in pairs by means of articulations 14.
  • Said frame further comprises a first tubular element 13, which has a C-shaped profile and is arranged centrally to the frame, and second elements 15, which have a C-shaped profile and are arranged at the ends of said frame.
  • the elements 13 and 15 are conveniently reinforced by means of transverse rods 16.
  • the element 13 is connected to the frame by way of the articulations 14, while the elements 15 are pivoted to the longitudinal members 12 by articulation means 17a.
  • the C-shaped elements 13 and 15, in addition to constituting crossmembers for connection to the longitudinal members 12, are also ground resting means.
  • Three end portions which in the example considered are constituted by third tubular elements 18 having a C-shaped profile, are connected to the frame by way of reversible locking and articulation means 17b.
  • the reversible locking and articulation means 17b are of the ratchet type.
  • the end portions 18 are mutually identical and are arranged symmetrically with respect to the reference surface formed by the supporting element 13.
  • a user supporting element 19 is associated with the frame, which as a whole is structured as described above; said element is constituted by a sheet-like element, preferably made of a material such as raffia.
  • the sheet-like element wraps around the end portions 18 with substantially envelope-shaped parts 19a and then wraps around the longitudinal members 12 and closes in a lower region with removable connecting means 21.
  • the removable connecting means 21 are of the Velcro type, are arranged on the opposite flaps of the supporting element 19, and are closed longitudinally in a substantially central position.
  • a rod-like element is associated with the end portions 18, which are conveniently inclined upward, and is constituted by a longitudinal member 20 that is composed of two interlocking parts 20a and 20b.
  • the longitudinal member 20 is connected to the end portions 18 by means of removable coupling elements, constituted by threaded connections 25 of the wing nut type.
  • Padded elements are associated with the resulting couch-like structural configuration and are constituted, in this embodiment, by a first mattress 22 and by a second mattress 23.
  • the mattresses 22 and 23 can be connected to each other by connecting means 24, which in this example are of the Velcro type.
  • the folding bed when the frame is unfolded and in the couch configuration, is composed so that in the first mattress 22 there are substantially three regions, a central one that acts as a seat and two end ones that act as armrests, while the mattress 23 is used substantially as a backrest.
  • Said folding bed in the couch configuration, is capable of accommodating a plurality of users in a sitting position with their back rested against said backrest.
  • the frame 11 which is substantially flat in its unfolded configuration, can fold about transverse axes by way of the articulations 14 once the supporting elements 15 have been folded inward until they assume a position that is parallel to the longitudinal members 12 and the end portions 18 have been folded likewise on the opposite side with respect to the longitudinal members 12.
  • the materials employed may be any according to requirements.
