Definitions

  • the present invention specifically has the object of obviating these disadvantages, and relates, to this end, to a mattress comprising several panels of cellular materials, characterized in that said panels are connected to each other in a hinged manner on their opposite corners, placed diagonally, so that when opened out the hinges of the panels are alternately on the top and on the underneath of the mattress, enabling a convertible mattress to be obtained that can be placed on a small space on the ground.
  • FIG. 1 shows this mattress in the opened-out position seen from above
  • FIG. 2 is an underneath view of FIG. 1,
  • FIG. 3 shows a side view of a mattress ready for use
  • FIG. 4 shows the mattress arranged in the shape of a bench
  • FIG. 5 shows this mattress in a sofa position
  • FIG. 6 shows the mattress in an armchair position.
  • the present invention consequently has the object of producing a mattress of cellular material that is comfortable, can be put away on small floor space, and can also be quickly converted for various uses such as a bench, sofa, armchair, etc.
  • the mattress comprises five panels of the same thickness, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and an end panel -6 which is thinner than panels 1 to 5'.
  • This number of panels enables a mattress of convenient dimensions to be obtained, able to be converted into several articles.
  • panels 1 to 6 are connected to each other in a hinged manner on their opposite corners, diagonally, so that when the mattress is opened out these hinges are lCC placed alternately on the top and on the underneath of the mattress.
  • hinge 7 connecting panels 1 and 2 is placed on the top of the mattress, while hinge 8 connecting panels 2 and 3 is placed on the underneath of the mattress and so on for the hinges 9, 10 and 11.
  • the thinner panel 6 connected to panel '5 by the hinge 11 situated on the top face of the mattress can be turned down on this panel 5, so as to form the pillow of the mattress as shown in FIG. 3.
  • the end panel 1 comprises on its lower face a rigid panel 12, made of wood, plastic or the like, which, owing to its arrangement, comes underneath the bench (see FIG. 4) formed by turning back the various panels on each other. By reversing the mattress assembly thus turned back, the panel 12 is placed on the top so as to make a shelf.
  • panel '2 acts as a back and is held in position by panel 1 rigidified by panel 12.
  • the panel 12' will itself be held by its lower edge 13 on the panel 16 by means of any means such as hooks, gussets, buttons or other means.
  • the mattress can be arranged in the manner shown in FIG. 6, so as to make a drawing-room chair, the upper face 6 of the panel 6 being used as a seat, (whereas the panel 12 which is also on top can be used as a dumb-waiter or shelf.
  • a mattress comprising several panels of cellular materials, characterized in that said panels are connected to one another so as to be hinged alternately in succession on their diagonally-opposite corner edges from one end of the mattress to the opposite end thereof so that when they are spread out, the hinges of the panels are alternately on the top and bottom of the mattress from end to end thereof, the cellular panel at one of the ends of the mattress being thinner than the others, while the cellular panel at the other end has a panel of rigid material on the face of that end panel which is on the opposite side from the face which is hinged to the adjacent panel whereby to provide a mattress which can be converted into a settee, shelf or chair.
