Abstract

A mattress support base, for example a divan base, with a drawer unit having an integrated television monitor 6 and support arm 12, wherein the TV monitor and support arm are adjustable to position the TV in a viewing position. The support arm and TV can be retracted within the capacity of a support base drawer unit when not being used. The TV may extend automatically and may use gas springs or electric actuators. When the TV is retracted into the drawer it may automatically activate an electrical isolation switch. The TV monitor may lie in a horizontal plane when in the stored position (Figure 3).

Description

MATTRESS SUPPORT BASE DRAW UNIT INCORPORATING A TV
MONITOR AND SUPPORT STAND
The present invention relates to a mattress support base drawer unit with integrated TV Monitor and support stand.
Traditionally televisions that are used in the bedroom are located on an article of furniture adjacent or opposite to the bed, these locations are not always in the most ideal of viewing positions.
There are some innovations that have recently been introduced into the marketplace wherein a TV monitor raises in a vertical manner from an opening in the foot board of the bed, similar to (patent application No GB2 406 506 A mayflower designs), these beds with integrated TV monitor supports usually have no substantial under bed storage drawers incorporated within them and are expensive to manufacture.
The object of this invention is to provide a TV monitor and support stand that is able to be contained within a typical mattress support base drawer unit when not in use.
The incorporation of gas springs in the support stand mechanism allows the user to easily extend or retract the TV from the base with minimal effort, the support stand allows the user to pivot the TV monitor upwardly into an ergonomically convenient viewing position. The invention is capable of fitting within any size of bed from a single size upwards.
In its stowed position the TV support frame is completely hidden from view and the divan base looks identical to any standard divan drawer unit, Figi (1) until the fascia of the drawer unit is pulled down in a tilting manner (2), when the support frame drawer is revealed Fig2 (3) the drawer can be withdrawn from the divan base opening (4), this should be fully withdrawn on the guide rails (5) in a linear direction Fig3 (7) until the TV (6) is fully clear of the divan base unit, when fully extended the TV support arm Fig4 (8) can be pivoted upwardly (9) until the TV support arm reaches its stop position Fig5 (1 0) this then allows the TV Fig6 (6) to safely be pivoted in an vertical pivoting motion (11) into its resting position Fig7 (12) allowing the TV support drawer Fig8 (3) to be reinserted (13) back into the divan base, when the drawer base Fig9 (14) is fully clear of the drawer front or fascia (2) the TV can then be positioned at a suitable viewing angle (15). This now places the TV FiglO (16) in a convenient viewing position below the foot of the bed without interfering with the functionality of the bed in any way or obstructing the usable space around it. 2.
