Definitions

  • Such type double deck-bed arrangements are commonly found in the cabins of ships or boats, yet however are also used in living areas, such as apartments and homes, especially for children, when the available space is limited so as to make maximum use thereof. The same considerations have prompted erection of such type double deck-bed arrangements in air raid shelters and emergency hospitals.
  • a primary object of this invention is to provide a new and improved type of cabin bed or doubletdeckbed arrangement of the type described which effectively and reliably fulfills the existing need in the art and evercomes the aforementioned drawbacks of the existing type cabin bed structures.
  • Still a further significant object of the present invention is to provide a double deck-bed arrangement permitting ready disassembly into two separate erectable beds so that, when conditions require, for instance if one of the users is ill, or if ultimately the available space becomes greater, it is possible to erect these beds in spaced relationship from one another as opposed to the prior superimposed relationship.
  • At least the posts of the bed frames intended to be used for interconnecting both beds to one another comprise hollow profile members. Further, the pivotal supports advantageously possess pin members destined to be in-.
  • FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a preferred form of double deck-bed arrangement designed according to the invention, depicting the upper bed rocked into its lower or pivoted-out position, while the phantom line showing of the upper bed illustrates same in its starting position prior to the time that it is pivoted down;
  • FIG. 2 is a fragmentary sectional view, on an enlarged scale, depicting details of two of the aligned bed posts of the two superimposed bed frames and which bed posts are interconnected by a pivot or pivotal support;
  • FIG. 3 is a fragmentary enlarged view, quite similar to the showing of FIG. 2, but this time depicting the position of the components when the upper bed has been rocked into its lower position;
  • FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the arrangement of FIG. 3, and specifically a sectional view through the pivotal support thereof, taken substantially along the line X-X of FIG. 3.
  • the exemplary embodiment of cabin bed of the invention will be seen to comprise an upper bed unit I and a lower bed unit 2 which, for the purpose of providing the double deck-bed arrangement, shown in FIG. 1 in phantom lines, has connected between these beds or bed units 1, 2 four pivotal supports 5 and 6 which interconnect the head and foot ends 3 and 4 of both beds 1, 2 with one another.
  • FIG. 1 only two of the pivotal supports 5 and 6 serving to mount the beds 1 and 2 in superimposed or tier fashion are visible.
  • an associated pivot shaft or bolt serving as the pivot axis.
  • each pivotal lever .arm 13 extending between both terminal elements 11, 12 is secured at each end upon a respective associated pivot bolt or shaft, for instance pivot bolts 8 and 10 for the lever arm 13 visible in the showing of FIG. 2.
  • weight compensating springs which may be, for instance, in the form of torsion springs 22 as best shown by referring to FIGS. 2-4.
  • each torsion spring 22 may be formed as a spiral or helical spring surrounding an end of the associated pivot bolt, bolt 10 in FIG. 4, which extends to one side past the associated terminal element 12 of the pivotal support. Stated in another way, the pivot bolt extends through the associated spring.
  • a sleeve member 23 is then pushed over the pivot bolt and such spring and can be fixed to the pivot bolt, with one end of the spring being anchored in the sleeve member 23.
  • the other flexed end of the spring is then fixedly retained or supported at the associated terminal element, namely terminal element 12 of FIG. 4.
  • the sleeve member 23 which can be rotated and fixed with respect to the associated pivot bolt or shaft 10 it is possible to pre-bias or pre-stress the spring 22 to retain such in its extended position, and which then exerts a force between the terminal element and the pivotal lever arm.
  • weight compensation or balancing springs are designed as pressure springs, one such spring being located at each end of the bed and extending diagonally between the lower and upper thereof as well as the multiple utility afforded both as a double deck-bed and also as individual beds, additionally the inventive construction renders possible assembly and disassembly of these beds'without resorting to the use of any tools, and which beds are very rationally manufacturable according to the standard building-block principle.
  • a double deck-bed arrangement for providing a pair of superimposed repose surfaces comprising a. at least two beds, each having a bed frame possessing a lengthwise extending axis;
  • each bed frame having four corner posts
  • each pivotal support comprising a lever arm member and a terminal element at each end of said lever arm member pivotably connected therewith by a respective pivot bolt defining a pivot axis extending substantially parallel to said lengthwise extending axis of each associated bed frame, to permit lateral pivoting of the upper bed frame in a direction substantially perpendicular to the lengthwise extending axis of such bed frame and downwardly and substantially parallel to the lower located bed, and wherein the terminal elements of said pivotal support are easily releasably connected with said corner posts in order to be able to separately erect the bed frames alongside of one another.
  • a double deck-bed arrangement for providing a pair of superimposed repose surfaces, comprising at least two beds, each having a bed frame, means for releasably interconnecting said two beds over one another in a double deck arrangement, said interconnecting means comprising four pivotal supports for connecting the end regions of the bed frames of both beds to one another in superimposed relationship, each two pivotal supports together with the bed frames interconnected thereby defining a four-point pivotal linkage mechanism to enable the upper located bed to be rocked downwardly and substantially parallel to the lower located bed, each of the pivotal supports comprising a lever arm member and a terminal element at each of said lever arm member pivotably connected therewith by a respective pivot bolt, said terminal elements being detachably mountable at the associated bed frame, said lever arm members extending substantially vertically when said beds are arranged in superimposed relationship with respect to one another, while said lever arms pivot about their lower situated pivot bolts from the vertically extending position into a substantially horizontal position when the upper bed is downwardly rocked with respect to the lower bed
  • each terminal element having a recess to allow pivotable movement of the end of the lever arm ing past its associated terminal element
  • each helical spring member being arranged about said extending end of the associated pivot bolt, a sleeve member fixedly mounted upon each extending end of each pivot bolt, one end of said helical spring member being con nected with its associated pivot bolt and the other end being anchored at said sleeve member to enable prebiasing of each such helical spring member by the associated sleeve member.
