Definitions

  • the hinge connection is made in many dif-' ferent ways.
  • the said difficulties are removed by arranging between the two hingedly connected single-divans which constitute together the double-divan, a mechanism adapted during the swinging out of the top-divan to impart a lifting motion to the bottom-divan.
  • a mechanism adapted during the swinging out of the top-divan to impart a lifting motion to the bottom-divan By this means the latter, together with the hinges of both single-divans are lifted to a certain height, from which follows that both divans in their opened or out-swung condition obtain a correspondingly greater height.
  • the two couch surfaces may be located at approximately normal couch height, and in assembled condition the double-divan will show a normal seat-height, and still areasonable intermediate space is left between the two couch surfaces to receive beddings.
  • the mechanism effecting the lifting motion may be of a very simple construction operating easily and safely.
  • the said -mechanism may also be used in connection with sleeping chairs or the like.
  • Fig. 3 is a corresponding end view of the F diva-n in half opened and partly lifted condition.
  • Fig. 4 is an end view of the divan in fully opened and lifted condition.
  • Fig. 5 is an end elevation of the sleeping chair in assembled condition.
  • Fig. 6 is a longitudinal section of the sleeping ghair in opened condition constituting a e
  • Fig. 7 is a front view in section on a plane 1 through the front rows of upholstery springs.
  • Fig. 8 is a front view of the chair.
  • Fig. 9 is part of a horizontal section following about the top surface of the front spring row of the top chair.
  • Figs. 1-4 showing the doubledivan, 1 denotes the bottom divan, 10 the top divan and 13 the hinges connecting them pivota-lly together on a longitudinal axis, 4: and 1a denote the couch surfaces of bottom and top divan respectively, and 5 and 12 denote their end pieces. From Fig. 2 is seen, that the free space between the surfaces 4 and 14 in closed position is suflicient to receive the necessary beddings.
  • a framelike mounting 17 is attached as clearly shown in Fig. 1.
  • the lower end of each mounting is received in a U-shaped shoe 23 resting immovably upon the floor and'receiving also the free end of a scissor lever 18, whose opposite end may slide horizontally in a guide 19 attached to the underside of the bottom divan 1.
  • the other scissor-lever 20 which is pivotally connected at 21 with lever 18 is pivotally connected at its upper end at 22 with the bottom divan 1 justabove the shoe 23, its free end having a wheel 24 rolling upon the floor.
  • the mountings 17 are so arranged that in the assembled condition (Fig. 2) of the divan they are disposed in close relation to its front side, the lower ends of the scissor-levers 20, 18 resting upon the shoe 23 and wheel 24 re spectively.
  • the lifting device according to Figs. l4 may also be utilized in connection with sleeping sofas and sleeping chairs.
  • Figs. 5-9 show its utilization in a sleep ing chair of the Chesterfield type.
  • the chair bottom 1 is connected through two hinges 13 with the chair top 10, but the hinge axes are located in the transverse direction so that, when the chair is opened (Fig. 6) the two couch surfaces 4, 14 form together a single bed which has a movable head support 28 forming an extension of the surface 4.
  • Fig. 7 the longitudinal side portions of the bottom chair 1 projecting freely forwardly from the chair back are liable to become a loose connection with said back. It is therefore advisable to stiffen the two longitudinal parts 31, 32 (Fig. 7) of the chair bottom 1 as well as 33, 34 of the chair top 10 in relation to one another laterally, so that no mutual motion may take place at the front thereof.
  • a rigid U-shaped bow 35 of iron or wood is arranged between the parts 31 and 32. At both corners this bow is reinforced by blocks 36 or struts, and it supports the lower end of the front spring row 39 or their supporting members. Thereby the hinges 13 cannot move laterally relatively to one another. The hinges also will stiffen the under portion of the parts 33 and 34 relatively to one another laterally.
  • the two mountings 17 are interconnected by crossed bars 37 (Fig. 8), so that these bars form a frame which is covered by fabric which encloses part of the front side of the chair.
  • the bars 37 permit a portion of the mountings 17 to extend freely upwards to the two pivot points 27. From Fig.
  • the frame has a free edge 38 at a certain height under the horizontal line which is imagined drawn between the two pivot points 27.
  • the frame consequently will reinforce the upper portion of the side parts 33, 34 of the chair top 10 relatively to one'another laterally, and at the same time the said free upper space of the frame will permit an unobstructed yielding of the upper chair padding.
  • no fixed transverse piece can be arranged to support the top ends of the springs of the front spring row 40.
  • a U-shaped bow 41 for instance of stiff wire (Fig. 9) is arranged.
  • Said bow is pivotally connected (at 42, Fig. 9) preferably I somewhat behind the edge 29 with the longitudinal parts 33, 34 and the bow is connected by means of strings with the upper convolution of each spring at its front side. will be held in its correct position.
  • Double divan or sleeping chair consisting of a bottom member and a top member Thereby the top portion of this spring connected together by hinges, a parallel-guide resting on the floor and supporting the bottom member so as to confine the latter during elevation to a vertical direction without lateral motion, and link mountings pivotally connecting the parts of the guide resting on the floor with the top member at points located above the axis of said hinges in the seat form of the divan or chair whereby the bottom member is elevated as the top member is swung outwardly on its hinges.
