Definitions

  • the invention relates to an over-turning platform for sleeping.
  • Many multifunctional pieces of furniture include a hidden platform or bedspring.
  • the platform is hidden in a vertical position inside the furniture and when needed it can be overturned in a horizontal position to sleep on it.
  • JP 6165720 An example is shown in JP 6165720 .
  • a leaf or oscillating plane can be lowered around its long side to put it horizontal, thus extracting from the inside of the furniture a surface to sleep on.
  • a soft pallet Above the oscillating leaf a soft pallet is fixed.
  • a panel At the end of the long external side of the tiltable leaf a panel is hinged. The panel, when the bedspring is vertical and hidden inside the furniture, arranges on the side of the oscillating leaf, while when the bedspring is horizontal it can rotate 90 degrees to form a vertical support leg for the bedspring.
  • the panel during the extraction operation is free to oscillate, with positioning problems or danger of hitting the user.
  • the panel is hinged to the overturnable leaf very close to the lowering end, and it can move through rotation only in order to get closer to the ground and forming a support leg.
  • the main object of the instant invention is to enrich the state of the art, which is reached by a platform or bedspring for sleeping as defined in claim 1, that is the platform has a panel movable with respect to the short side of the platform and means for displacing the panel between two positions:
  • the panel acts as a containment member for any mattress or pillow and/or acts as a headboard/footboard.
  • a bed or platform with this new feature is more convenient and safe.
  • a bed that can be lowered along the short side should be fenced and/or with a raised edge, which is desirable for example not to drop the pillow or, if the bed is for children, to avoid the danger of them falling by creating a fence.
  • This problem is solved as well by a platform as defined in claim 1.
  • the panel thus moved in the position wherein it is perpendicular to the platform, can also serve as a support/resting member on the ground for the lowered side of the platform. If instead the panel stay lifted off the ground, there will be other means (e.g. extractable legs or the fulcrum of the platform) to support the platform when horizontal.
  • the invention envisages to use a generic flat or a structural element of a furniture, for simplicity we will refer hereafter only to a panel.
  • the platform removably supports a mattress, which must remain attached thereto in vertical position.
  • a platform e.g. as a platform a rectangular frame void in the center and having support elements for the mattress, as for example U-shaped cross-bars.
  • the frame may surround the sides of the mattress and the support elements support its bottom.
  • the mattress increases the space occupied in depth by the platform. If the panel was simply hinged on one end of the platform and in a manner to take due account of the thickness of the mattress, it would take an exaggerated length thereof to obtain the raised edge. Moreover, a simple hinge would not be good because the mattress would occupy the space needed by the movement of the flat element (the panel). This problem is solved by the solution defined in claims 4 or 5, which allows to get around an edge of the platform having a greater thickness because of the mattress.
  • a bed that can be lowered along the short side undoubtedly has a wide stroke for the short side that lowers.
  • Claim 6 solves this problem. E.g. one may use
  • a very effective embodiment for the guiding means of Claim 6 is defined in Claims 7 and 8.
  • the piece of furniture 10 has an outer frame 20, e.g. parallelepiped, whose facade is composed of a larger rectangular panel 24 and a smaller rectangular panel 26.
  • a bed platform 22 which is rotatable about an axis X parallel and close to its short side.
  • the platform 22 exhibits as an empty metal rectangular frame 30 with U-shaped cross-bars 32, with the function of supporting a mattress M (shown in dotted lines only in Fig. 2 ).
  • the platform 22 may stay vertical and hidden inside the frame 20 (position 'closed', see Fig. 1 and 2 ) or can be lowered to come out of the frame 20 and be disposed horizontally ('open' position, see fig. 5 and 11 ), so that a person can sleep on it.
  • the panels 26, 24 are integral with the platform 22.
  • the panel 24 is fixed relative to the platform 22 and remains always parallel to and at a certain distance from it.
  • the panel 24 forms the main part of the vertical closing wall of the piece of furniture 10.
  • the panel moves nearly horizontal, standing below the platform, 22.
  • the panel 26 is instead movable with respect of the platform 22: in the 'closed' position it is coplanar and adjacent to the panel 24 (not coplanar with respect to platform 22), forming a continuous front surface of the piece of furniture 10.
  • the panel 26 becomes approximately perpendicular to the plane of the frame 30 by rotating about the outer short edge of the platform 22.
  • the result is that the panel 26 forms for the platform 22 both a support on the ground, and a bed-headboard (or bed-footboard) consisting of about half of the panel 26, which extends vertically from the short outer edge of the platform 22.
  • the center of panel 26 is brought about flush with the edge of the platform 22.
  • the platform 22 is equipped with a mechanism that allows the movement of the panel 26 between the two positions just described.
  • a fixing bracket or box 42 (which could also be a flange integral with the bottom of platform 22) to which are hinged at one end two rods 44, 46.
  • the other end of the rod 44 is hinged to the panel 26, while the other end of the rod 46 is hinged at a midpoint of a third rod 48, which is hinged at one end to the panel 26 and at the other end to a perch 40.
  • the length of the rod 48 is a bit greater than that of the rods 44, 46, which are equal.
  • the hinging points of the rods 44, 46 on the box 42 are aligned on a line approximately parallel to the plane of platform 22 and frame 30.
  • the hinging point of rod 48 with the perch 40 is sliding into a linear guide 70, approximately parallel to the plane of frame 30 and obtained e.g. as a slot in the box 42.
  • the rod 46 is hinged about on the center of panel 26, while the rod 44 is hinged about on one end of panel 26.
  • the rods 44, 46, 48 which move on parallel planes, form as a whole with the panel 26 an articulated polygon used to rigidly guide the panel 26 along a rototranslation around the end of frame 30.
  • the perch 40 is connected on one side to the rod 48, extends along the whole length of the long side of the frame 30, and at the other side is hinged to the end of a L-shaped bracket 54 which is in turn hinged to a support cross-member 60 which serves as a support and rotation fulcrum for the platform 22 and frame 30.
  • the cross-member 60 comprises two side plates 62 fixable to the inner walls of frame 20, a cross tube 64 perpendicular to them, and various brackets or mounting tabs 66 extending radially from the tube 64.
  • a linear or straight bracket 50 equipped with a wheel 52.
  • the bracket 50 and wheel 52 are mounted in contact with the bracket 54, so that the wheel 52 can press on the surface of the bracket 54.
  • the platform 22 In the closed position the platform 22 is vertical, and the panels 24, 26 coplanar for closing the frame 20.
  • the panel 26 is parallel to the frame 30.
  • the wheel 52 is resting on or close to the bracket 54 and the perch 40 is maximally raised. Therefore, even the rod 48 is maximally pushed toward the outside of the box 42, with the result of pushing the end of the rod 48 to the outmost end of the guide 70 and keeping rods 44, 46 in a position close to each other, see Fig. 4 .
  • the rod 48 pushes the panel 26 to bring it away from frame 30, thus the rods 44, 46 remain approximately parallel to each other and to the frame 30. Or it may be sufficient the very weight of the panel 26 to keep it upright.
  • the bracket 50 rotates downwards and the wheel 52 pushes the bracket 54. This makes the perch 40 lower and thus also the lower end of the rod 48 in guide 70.
  • the rod 48 pulls one end of panel 26 and makes the rod 46 and 44 rotate, counterclockwise in the figures.
  • the rod 46 rotates toward the frame 30, the rod 44 rotates approximately 100-110 degrees toward the edge of the frame 30 and rod 48 becomes about parallel to the frame 30.
  • the hinging axis Y of panel 26 on the rod 48 is movable and from one position to the other it moves approximately perpendicularly to the platform 22. Other trajectories are possible, depending on the type of guiding means used to guide the panel 26.
  • the mechanism described can optionally be motorized or servoed.
  • a linear actuator 80 hinged to tabs or flanges 66, present on the cross-member 60, and a midpoint of the frame 30.
  • the function of the actuator 80 is to move the frame 30 from the open to the closed position and vice versa, so as not to require user's effort.
  • gas springs 86 may be inserted to support with their thrust all or part of the weight of frame 30 when it is in extracted configuration from the piece of furniture 10.
  • a simple solution is to hinge the elastic means between one or more tabs 66 and a midpoint of the frame 30.
  • the drawings for better understanding has sometimes shown the movable piston of actuator 80 or spring 86 disconnected from the tabs 66.
