mssmz v W 3 R. SCHGBERL CHAIR CONVERTIBLE INTO A BEDSTEAD QR CQUCH Filed June 23, 1928 Patented Apr. 22, 1936 ANT rFicE ROBERT scHo'BERL, or BUDAPEST, HUNGARY CHAIR CONVERTIBLE INTO A BED STEAD OR COUCH Application filed June23, 1928, Serial No. 287,834, and in Hungary July 28, 1927.
This invention relates to animproved construction of arm-chair convertible into a bed-- upper edges,'the forward one of these frames as a camp bed.
being hingedly connected at its lower edge to the rear portion of the seat frame or tot'he arm-rests, and the rear one of said first mentioned frames being provided on its inner face at its lower end with supporting feet which, in the use of the article as a chair,-.are eacl1 received in a gap between an arm-rest and the seat frame. The said feet-carrying frame is normally supported freely at its lower edge on the rear member of the seat frame and thus holds the back-rest against tilting backwards. In the vicinity of the hinged joint between the two frames constituting the back-rest there is provided on one of said frames an additional pair of feet which are hingedly mounted so as to depend freely and which, when the chair is converted into a bedstead, assume a vertical position under the influence of gravity, forming an additional support for the. bedstead. The seat is preferably of wedge form and tapered rearwards to serve as a pillow when the ar-* ticle is used as a bed without necessity for displacementof the seat. The seat frame is formed as a box to accommodate the bedclothes. the seat forming a cover fou the box, for which purpose the seat is hinged at its rear edge to the seat frame. The chair structure, whichmay be of wood or metal, may
be upholstered in the usual manneror may,"
be covered with elastic wire\fabric to serve In the accompanying drawing which illus trates a construction according to the inven:
tion, assumed to be made ofwood, Fig. -1\is a perspective view showing the chair-frame in full lines; the dotted lines representing the positions of the parts when the article is converted into a bedstead. Fig. 2 shows the upper part of one of the frames of the I back-rest with auxiliary feet hinged thereto. Fig. 3 showsthe upholstered chair in vertical section, indicating in dotted lines the, positions assumed by the parts in the first stage of the conversion of the chair into a bedstead, the seat being indicated in dotted lines in raised position.
Referring to the drawing, 1 and 1 indicate the two frames forming the back-rest and interconnected at their upper edges by hinges 2. The forward frame 1 is adapted to be tilted rearwards on hinges 3 at its lower edge, being hinged to the rear ends of the armrests 5, while the rear frame '1' is provided with rigid feet 6 projecting inwardly into gaps between the seat frame 4 and the arm.-
rests .5 and said frame 1 rests at its lower edge on the rear member of the seat frame 4.
To the upper rail of the rear frame 1' of the back-rest auxiliary feet 6 are hinged at 7 so .as to hang freely, said feet serving in the use of the article as a bed to support the two frames 1 and 1' in a horizontal plane (as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 1). The
seat frame 4, formed as a box 8 to accommodate the bedclothes, is provided with a seat 9 forminga cover for the box, said seat 9 being mounted on hinges 10 at its rear lower edge so that it may be lifted as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 3. The seat 9 is of wedge section, tapering towards the rear, so that in the use of the article as a bed or couch it may serve as a pillow.
F or the purpose of converting the chair intoabed or couch, the frame 1.of the backrest is first swung in the direction of the arrow about the hinges 2 until the feet 6 are free. On further movement of the frame 1' 1'earwardly tl1e other frame 1 is caused to "swing on its hinges until both frames 1 and The back-rest may also be provided with the usual lateral head supports 1 which as, shown in dotted lines in the drawing, are
secured to the'rear frame 1 of the back-rest and conceal the gaps between the two frames of the backrest. Also, as, shown partly in dotted lines in Fig. 1 the arm-rests 5 are lrtlaining in its place-and serving as a pil1oW..
provided with extensions 5 extending on both sides of the back-rest, so that the armrests may be'upholstered up to the rear face of the back-rest and also the lowerside portion 0f the arm-rests and the gaps between the back-rest and the arm-rests may becovered.
What I claim is:
An arm-chair convertible into a bedstead 0r couch comprising, in combination, a seat frame, arm-rests at the sides of said seat frame with gaps between said arm-rests and.
said seat-frame, and a back-rest hinged be hind the arm-rests, said back-rest being con stituted by a pair of juxtaposed frames hingedly connected at their upper edges, the rearward one of said pair of frames having feetengageable with said gaps.
In testimony whereof I have signed my name to this specification.
