  • the locking means 12 are also fitted so as to look the part 4 of the panel 3 used as a support for the springrnattress 1 when it takes up its position at right angles to the latter and when this spring-mattress is in posltion for use.
  • the locking means are shown in full lines in the position 16 they take up when assuring the locking of part 5 of the panel 3, the spring-mattress 1 being able to pivot freely with reference to the frame 2.
  • the locking means 12 are also shown, in dot and dash lines, in the position 17 they take up to assure the locking of the spring-mattress 1 in the frame 2, the part 5 of the panel 3 being then able to pivot around the transverse member 6.
  • the locking means 12, provided to prevent any wrong movement of the bed or of the table, comprise a stem 13, the axis thereof being parallel to the transverse axis of the spring-mattress.
  • This stern 13 is mounted on the spring-mattress, by means of a component 14 integral with the springanattress and of a cornponent 15 integral with the transverse mernber 6, and is guided in these components so as to be able to slide along its own axis with reference to the said spring-mattress.
  • the stem 13 is driven, in order to move between two end postions 16 and 17, by a tie-rod 18 articulated, on the one hand, at 23, on the stern 13 and, on the other hand, at 24, on the part 4 of the panel 3.
  • the tie-rod 18 is fitted so that, when the part 4 of the panel 3 takes up its position at right angles to the spring-mattress, the end 19 of the stern cooperates with a member 20, secured to the part 5 of the panel 3, S as to make this part of the panel integral with the spring-mattress 1, the end 21 of the stem 13 being then released from an element 22 integral with the frame 2, this position 16 of the stem 13 making it possible to bring the spring-mattress 1 into its position for use.
  • the tie-rod 18 drives the stem 13 so as to make it take up its position 17. In that position the end 19 of the stem is released from the mernber 20 while the end 21 cooperates with the member 22 of the frame 2, the spring-mattress 1 being then locked in the frame 2 while the part 5 of the panel 3 can be released for use as a table.
  • the stem 13 takes up its position 17, its end 19 remains engaged, over a very slght distance, in the member 20 (FIGURE 5).
  • the articulation 23 of the stem on the tie-rod 18 permits, without movement of the latter, a slight displacement of the stem, the length of this displacement being at least equal to the length of the portion of the stem 13 remaining engaged inside the member 20-.
  • the end 19 of this stem is shaped so that the said stern may be released rom the member 20, against the action of spring 25, when a pull is applied to the part 5 of the panel 3 in order to bring it into the position in which it Will serve as a table.
  • ThS fitting offers the advantage of permittin-g part 5 of the panel 3 to be maintained against the spring-mattress 1, when this part is unlocked and when its use as a table is not wanted.
