Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a convertible furniture system for converting a sofa into a bed and vice versa that is intended to facilitate the operations for converting a sofa into a bed and vice versa.
  • the convertible system occupies a reduced space, it also being notable that the installation thereof is located in side areas of the piece of furniture, which enables internal spaces of the unit of furniture to be used to store objects, and even drawers can be assembled in said internal spaces.
  • the pieces of furniture include a bed frame structure that can be folded and can adopt a first unfolded position to convert the piece of furniture into a bed; and a second folded position to convert the piece of furniture into a sofa, wherein the bed frame structure is taken in and hidden inside an inner space of the piece of furniture in this second position.
  • the bed frame structure is taken out by either pulling a lower part of the sofa or by pulling said lower part of the sofa upwards.
  • the problem of this convertible system lies in the fact that, on one hand, the bottom part of the piece of furniture is completely disabled, in other words, it cannot be used as a storage area, since said bottom part is needed to house part of the bed frame structure and/or be able to carry out the folding and unfolding of said bed frame structure.
  • Another known type of convertible system for converting sofa furniture into a bed is that in which the backrest of the piece of furniture in sofa mode is folded backwards, thereby converting the sofa into a bed.
  • the invention is defined in claim 1 and proposes a convertible furniture system for converting a sofa into a bed and vice versa which comprises a pair of lower guides and a pair of upper guides that are located in opposite side areas of the piece of furniture; wherein the upper guides are located above the lower guides.
  • the convertible system further comprises two articulated structures that connect a first seat frame and a second backrest frame; wherein the articulated structures are coupled to the lower guides and the upper guides.
  • Each articulated structure comprises a first arm connected to the first frame and a second arm connected to the second frame.
  • the first arm and the second arm are coupled to each another by means of a common joint; wherein the first arm is coupled to the lower guide by means of a first connecting element, and the second arm is coupled to the upper guide by means of a second articulated connecting element.
  • the two articulated structures can move along the lower guides and the upper guides; wherein the convertible system is configured so that when the two articulated structures move, the second arms pivot in an angular space with respect to the first arms around the common joints.
  • the lower guides comprise straight paths, while the upper guides comprise initial straight sections and final arched sections that are a continuation of the initial straight sections; wherein the convertible system is configured so that during the path of the second articulated connecting elements of the second arms along the arched sections of the upper guides, the second arms pivot with respect to the first arms, varying the angular space existing between said arms.
  • the arched sections of the upper guides are curved in a convergent way towards the lower guides.
  • the convertible system comprises parallel side guides located under the lower guides; wherein the first seat frame is coupled in said side guides; and wherein the side guides are configured to guide and support the first seat frame.
  • the first seat frame is joined to the first arms by means of first parts and the second backrest frame is joined to the second arms by means of second parts.
  • Each first connecting element of the first arm and each second articulated connecting element of the second arm are linked by means of an actuator that is coupled to said connecting elements, respectively, by means of a lower joint and by means of an upper joint.
  • the lower guides and the upper guides are located on two plates fixed to sides of a frame of the piece of furniture; wherein the lower guides and the upper guides comprise through slots that pass through said plates.
  • the actuators are located in correspondence with first faces of the plates and the articulated structures are located in correspondence with second faces of said plates; wherein said first faces and said second faces of the plates are located on opposite planes.
  • the convertible furniture system 1 for converting a sofa into a bed and vice versa comprises straight lower guides 2 formed by slots and upper guides 3 formed by other slots that comprise straight sections 3a and arched sections 3b; wherein the lower guides 2 and the upper guides 3 are located on two parallel plates 4 fixed to sides 1a of a frame of the piece of furniture 1, such that each plate 4 has a pair of guides: a lower guide 2 and another upper guide 3.
  • An articulated structure 5 that connects a first seat frame 6 and a second backrest frame 7 is coupled and guided on each pair of lower 2 and upper 3 guides. Therefore, the system of the invention includes two articulated structures 5 located in correspondence with the two sides 1a of the frame of the piece of furniture 1.
  • Each articulated structure 5 comprises a first arm 5a and a second arm 5b coupled to each other by means of a common joint 8 located above the respective lower guide 2.
  • each of the first arms 5a is guided on the lower guide 2 by means of a first connecting element 9 attached to the first arm 5a, while each of the second arms 5b is guided on the upper guide 3 by means of a second articulated connecting element 10 attached to the second arm 5b.
  • the first and second connecting elements 9, 10, along with the first and second arms 5a, 5b of the two articulated structures 5 move along and are guided on the lower guides 2 and upper guides 3.
  • first connecting element 9 of the first arm 5a and the second articulated connecting element 10 of the second arm 5b are linked by means of an actuator 11 that is coupled to said connecting elements 9, 10, respectively, by means of a lower joint 12 and an upper joint 13.
  • Said actuator 11 is pneumatic or hydraulic.
  • the two actuators 11 help convert the sofa to a bed and vice versa with minimum effort.
  • Each of the plates 4 have two opposite faces: a first face and a second face.
  • the actuator 11 is located in correspondence with the first face of the plate 4, and the articulated structure 5 is located in correspondence with the second face of the plate 4.
  • the sides 1a of the frame of the piece of furniture 1 include mortises which are not shown in the figures.
  • separation spaces defined between the plates 4 and the sides 1a of the frame of the piece of furniture 1 are envisaged; wherein said separation spaces are also not shown in the figures.
  • the first seat frame 6 is coupled to parallel side guides 14 fixed to the sides 1a of the piece of furniture 1; wherein said side guides 14 are located under the lower guides 2, and wherein in one embodiment of the invention, said side guides 14 are straight and comprises a telescopic structure.
  • the first seat frame 6 is joined to the first arms 5a by means of first parts 15 and the second backrest frame 7 is joined to the second arms 5b by means of second parts 16.
  • a seat element 6a is assembled on the first frame 6 and a backrest element 7a is mounted on the second frame 7.
  • the seat element 6a and the backrest element 7a are independent elements; while in another embodiment of the invention, the seat element 6a and the backrest element 7a are two elements that are joined to each other by means of a hinge, such as for example two cushions joined by a common edge.
  • a longitudinal member 17 that is used to operate the convertible system for converting the sofa into a bed or vice versa is fixed on the first seat frame 6; wherein said longitudinal member 17 is located in correspondence with a front side of the piece of furniture 1 through which the first frame 6 protrudes along with the seat element 6a in the unfolded position of the system of the invention in bed mode.
