Definitions

  • This invention relates to a stackable bed and more particularly to a bed having at least two portions that may be freely swung from a storage position to an operative position.
  • a stackable bed embodying this invention comprises first and second supporting portions.
  • One of the portions is supported on a different level than the other portion so that the portions may be stored in a vertically stacked relationship.
  • the portions are interconnected for relative pivotal and lateral movement by means of a pair of telescoping members that are supported for relative lateral sliding movement.
  • One of the telescoping members is affixed to one of the bed portions and the other of the telescoping members is pivotally connected to the other of the bed portions.
  • a principal object of this invention is an improved stackable bed.
  • a further object is a stackable bed having pivotally connected portions.
  • An additional object is a stackable bed having pivotal and laterally movable portions.
  • FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a stackable bed embodying this invention, showing the bed portions in their storage positions;
  • FIGURE 2 is a perspective view, in part similar to FIGURE 1, showing the bed portions in an intermediate position between their storage and their operative positions;
  • FIGURE 3 is a plan view of the bed shown in FIG- URE 1 on a smaller scale.
  • FIGURE 4 is an elevational view of the encircled area of FIGURE 1.
  • a stackable bed assembly embodying this invention is identified generally by the reference numeral 11.
  • the bed assembly 11 comprises an upper bed portion 12 having a frame 13 that supports a mattress 14 and a lower bed portion 15 comprised of a frame 16 that supports a mattress 17.
  • the bed portions 12 and 15 are supported for relative pivotal and lateral movement by a supporting mechanism, indicated generally by the reference numeral 18.
  • the frame 13 of the upper bed portion 12 may be of any conventional type, however, in the disclosed embodiment it includes a tubular side rail 19 which also forms a portion of the supporting mechanism 18.
  • a pair of legs 21 and 22 support the bed portion 12 upon the floor in a known manner.
  • a third leg (not shown) is provided at the rear corner of the other end of the bed portion 12.
  • the frame 16 of the lower bed portion 15 also may be of any conventional structure, however, in the illustrated embodiment it is provided with a pair of notched out recesses 23 and 24 for a purpose which will become more apparent as this description proceeds.
  • a sliding member 25 is telescopically received within the tubular member 19.
  • the member 25 has a shape that is complementary to the inner surface of the tubular side rail 19 for free sliding motion.
  • the member 25 has an integral depending leg portion 26.
  • the lower end of the leg portion 26 may, in some embodiments, terminate at a caster. In the illustrated embodiment, however, the caster is deleted since the lower bed frame 16 is provided with casters 27 at each of its corners to facilitate rolling thereof.
  • a tubular bearing 28 is journaled upon the depending leg portion 26 (FIGURE 4). The tubular bearing 28 is affixed in any suitable manner to the lower bed frame 16 adjacent one corner thereof.
  • the upper frame 13 and lower frame 16 are substantially the same length so that the mattresses 14 and 17 also may be of the same size.
  • the legs 21 and 22 interengage the recesses 23 and 24 in the lower bed frame 16 to preclude relative pivotal movement between the bed portions 12 and 15.
  • the beds are moved laterally with respect to each other by sliding the telescoping member 25 with respect to the tubular side rail 19. This may be accomplished by moving the bed portion 12 and holding the bed portion 15 fixed relative to the floor. In the illustrated embodiment, however, the lower bed portion 15 is the one which is moved since it is supported upon the casters 27.
  • FIGURE 4 illustrates the relative position of the supporting mechanism 18 when the bed is extended for pivotal movement. It is to be understood that any desired amount of lateral extension may be made within the confines of the relative lengths of the telescoping parts 19 and 25. This permits a great latitude in the relative locations of the bed portions 12 and 15 when in their operative position.
  • FIGURE 2 illustrates the portions in an intermediate portion prior to their being positioned in their operative position.
  • the supporting portion 18 includes a tubular side rail 19 that is a part of the upper frame assembly 13. It is to be understood that the side rail 19 may be separate from the bed frame 13 as are the remaining parts. This permits a kit to be sold comprised of the tubular side rail 19, the telescoping member 25 with its depending leg 26 and the tubular bearing 28. Conventional bed frames may be purchased to which these parts are attached so that a stackable bed may be formed. Various other changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
  • An article of furniture comprising a pair of parallelly extending supporting members and means interconnecting said members for relative pivotal and lateral movement, said means comprismg a pair of telescoping members supported for relative lateral sliding movement,
  • a stackable bed comprising a first mattress supporting portion
  • said means interconnecting said portions for relative pivotal and lateral movement, said means comprising a pair of telescoping members supported for relative lateral sliding movement,
  • a stackable bed comprising a first mattress supporting portion
  • a second mattress supporting portion said second portion being supported on a different level than said first portion for storage of said portionsin a vertical- 1y stacked relationship, said second portion and said first portion having substantially the same length, and
  • said means comprising a tubular guide member
  • sliding member telescopically received in said guide member, said sliding member having an offset depending leg portion at the exposed end thereof, and
  • a stackable bed comprising a first mattress supporting portion

  • Means for stackably interconnecting a pair of bed mattress supporting portions comprising a tubular guide member adapted to be affixed to one of said portions,
  • sliding member telescopically received in said guide member, said sliding member having an oflFset depending leg portion at the exposed end thereof, and
  • a bearing member journaled upon said depending leg portion and adapted to be connected to the other of the mattress supporting portions.
