Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem in the overnight long distance trip by an airplane, a train and a bus that the number of passengers per a space is limited, and reclining seats are generally used, which cause the swollen legs, the stiffness in the body, and the insufficient sleep. SOLUTION: The comfortable long distance trip can be provided while ensuring the number of passengers by reassembling plural seats which are laterally connected in the daytime, as double bunks by horizontally extending the seats in the night.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a device for switching a seat to a bed during a bedtime when traveling for a long time by airplane, train, train or bus. In order not to decrease the number of seats, the seats are moved to the upper row while extending the odd rows of seats horizontally when viewed from the front in a horizontal arrangement. After fixing the upper row, move to the lower row while extending the even rows of seats horizontally. The seat includes a pillow, a backrest, a seat, a footrest, an armrest, and the like, each of which is fixed at a predetermined angle by hydraulic pressure or the like in the daytime and nighttime zones. In the daytime, only the backrest can be fine-tuned. A ladder for ascending and descending is separately attached to the upper bed.

2. Description of the Related Art In a conventional bed, a night train has an upper folding type. The folding type is used only for trains because it is heavy and uses a lot of space. For the above reasons, reclining seats are generally employed instead of sleepers for other vehicles.
