Definitions

  • the mobile block rests either on the seat block, along the back edge, in the settee position, or on the floor [52] US. Cl 125957745526, v against the from edge, in the bed position and is [51] Int Cl A47c 13/00 4 17/00 attached to the fixed block by a rectangular piece of [58] fabric.
  • the width of the fabric is equal to half the difield of Search 297/118, 423, 456, 105,
  • the present invention provided a bed-settee with an extremely simple structure, involving no mechanism and avoiding the drawbacks of conventional bedsettees.
  • the bed-settee comprises a parallelepiped-shaped fixed block or seat, with long front and back edges, and two shorter side edges.
  • the width of the fabric is equal to half the difference between the widths of the two blocks, and the fabric is attached by one edge to one longitudinal edge of the mobile block, and by the opposite edge to a line on the upper surface of the fixed block, the same distance from the front edge of this block as half the difference between the widths of the two blocks.
  • the two sections of the bed-settee namely the seat and the back, can be made from any suitable material that will provide the greatest comfort.
  • the bed-settee is fairly light in weight, and to convert it from settee into bed, or conversely, the back block is simply moved from one of its positions to the other; this is done by turning it over on the seat block, so that little physical effort is required.
  • the piece of fabric prevents the mobile block from toppling backwards when leaned against, and in the bed position, it prevents the mobile block from moving away from the fixed block.
  • the bed-settee also includes a very flexible thin cushion, of the same length as the fixed and mobile blocks, and the width of which is equal to the combined widths of both blocks.
  • This cushion is designed to cover either the bed as formed by the two juxtaposed blocks, or the settee, as formed by the two superimposed blocks, ensuring greater comfort.
  • FIG. 1 shows a view in perspective of one embodiment the settee in accordance with the invention
  • the mobile block 2, or back is of the same thickness E and length D as the base 1. It is connected to the base by'a rectangular piece of fabric 8, the width C/2 of which is equal to half the difference C between the width A of the back block 2 and the width B of the seat block 1, and the length of which is the same as that of both blocks D.
  • One edge of the fabric 8 is attached to one longitudinal edge 11 of the mobile block, and the opposite edge to a line 14 on the upper surface of the seat block, the same distance from the front edge 4 as half the difference in width C/2. This fabric forms a hinge between the two blocks.
  • a very flexible thin cushion l2, stuffed with down or Dacron fiber, or some similar material, of the same length as the fixed and mobile blocks, and the width of which is equal to the combined widths of both blocks, is used to cover either the settee as shown in FIG. 1, or the bed as shown in FIG. 2.
  • the mobile block 2 is simply rolled forward and placed on the floor against the front edge 4 of the fixed block. Since the mobile block is the same thickness as the base, it forms a single unit with it, with a level upper surface, the gap between the two blocks being effectively closed by the piece of fabric 8 which covers it, preventing the mobile block from moving away from the fixed block. To return to the settee position, the mobile block 2 is moved back to the back edge of the fixed block, as shown in FIG. 1.
  • the piece of fabric 8 clearly determines the position of the mobile block 2 in either case.
  • the cushion 12 can be used as a mattress, or removed if there is any fear of damage.
  • the width A of the mobile block 2 can vary, depending on the width of bed required.
  • a bed-settee for use on a floor, comprising a parallelepiped-shaped seat member having front and back edges longer than the side edges thereof, and approximately parallelepiped-shaped back member of the same thickness and length as the seat member, and a rectangular sheet of fabric having a length equal to the lengths of the seat member and back member, the rectangular sheet member being attached by one edge to a longitudinal edge of a back member, and by an opposite edge to the seat member on a line parallel to a longitudinal edge of the seat member and at a distance from said longitudinal edge of said seat member equal to one half the difference the widths of the back and seat members, the distance measured parallel to the width of the rectangular sheet from the two attachment points being equal to one half the difference between the widths of the back and seat members, the back member being displacable from a bed position wherein first surfaces of the back and seat members rest on the floor to a settee position wherein the back member rests on the seat member, the abutting surfaces of the seat member and back member in the settee
  • seat and back blocks are made from cellular plastic.
