SOFA BED HINGE SUPPORT Filed Sept. 1, 1944 3 h t 5 INVENTOR.
} W/LL/HMMW/Lsmv Patented Feb. 10, 1948 UNITED srAr PATENT orncs This invention relates to sofa bed hinges and supports of that-well known type inwhich brackets pivotally hinged together are secured respectively to the lower end of the back and the rear end of the seat and the hinge is carried by a pair of upwardly extending swinging arms which are pivotally supported by attachment at their lower ends to a base member.
In sofa beds in which such hinges are employed, the seat is hinged to the back by the hinge so that the seat and back may be relatively moved the one. with respect to the other, and locking means, well known in the art,-which forms no. part of the present invention, is inter posed throughwhich various relative positions of the seat and back may be accomplished, such means being well known in the art and a desirable form thereofbeing described in my pending application, for patent, Serial No. 531,031, filed April 14, 1944.--
In such structures the seat and back,- locked together as a rigid unit, is shifted by manipulation of the seat-from sofa position until the back reaches bedpositiomand subsequently'the seat by further manipulation is released from itslocked relation to theback and lowered to bed position. After use as a bed, the movements roughly are reversed, the seat and back restored to locked relation and shifted back as a rigid unit tothe-original sofa position.
In shifting the unit from sofa position toward bed position, and in restoring the unit to sofa position, the upper end of the back ordinarily swings rearwardly in an undesirable are which makes it necessary to shift the entire structure away from the wall, against'which it is usually placed, in order that change to a bed may be made and after the subsequent shift back from bed to sofa position the entire structure must again be moved back against the wall. During such shifts, the seat and back as a unit are out of balance and a not inconsiderable lift must be exerted on the seat to start the: movement and a similar force exerted to prevent the back slamming down on the supporting frame as the back approaches bed position, and efforts so far made to correct or improve any one "of these undesirable features have in general accentuated the others thereof.
The objects of the present invention are: H
To provide a sofa bed which includes an articulated seat and back' unit, means for supporting said unit for shift from seat. to bed positions and return, which maintains a substantially vering the seat, back and supporting base, with the tical path of travel of the upper end of said back during such shifts;
To provide shiftable support means for said unit which minimize rise and fall in the path of shift of the movable centers in moving from seat to bed position and vice versa;
To provide a shiftable support means for a sofa bed unit in which final seating movement of the back into bed position is accomplished by reversal of movement and lift of the unit, tend ing to check the movement;
, To provide a simple and emcient and economical bracket for accomplishing the hinge supports;
To provide shiftable sofa bed supporting means in which the movement of the unit toward sofa position is limited by contacting engagement of the supporting arms and astable position of the back effected in such position, and in which the opposite movement of the unit parts toward bed positioning is likewise terminated by contact of the arms and a stable support effected for the then forward edge of the back and rear edge of the seat in bed positions. j
The means by which the foregoing and other objects are accomplished, and the manner of their accomplishment, will readily be understood from the following specification upon reference to the accompanying drawings, in which? Fig. 1 is an end elevation of a sofa bed, includback and seat positioned as they are when in use as a sofa, the view also showing, in dotted, lines, an intermediate position of shift from sofa toward bed position which indicates that the path of travel of the upper edge of the back is substantially along a vertical line.
. Fig. 2 shows the same parts with the back approaching bed position, and in dotted lines, completion of the movement of the back tobed position, this view further showing that the path of travel of the upper edge of the back is substantially along'the vertical line. This figure -also shows an alternate base construction.
Fig. 3 shows both the back and seat in .bed position.
Fig. 4 is a sectional elevation on the line IV--IV of Fi 1.
Fig. 5 is a plan view of the base bracket which pivotally supports the lower ends ofthe support arms. 7 l

Referring now to the drawings in which the various parts are indicated by numerals:

23 is a base and 25 a base bracket secured thereto, this bracket forming the lower support for a pair of support arms 21 and 29. :EF-heL-Ear-m 21 is pivotally secured at its upper end to the hinge pin 2| and similarly pivotally-securedz at its lower end to the bracket t25 by ahin pin 3!. The arm 29 is pivotally secured at'its upper end through a pin 33 to the back bracket llgvand at its lower end through a Spin 35 to the base bracket -2 5; the. construction: asx described-being .mora or less typical.
