few parts, and capable of being easily andquiekly converted, as desired.
Other objects will be set forth as the description'progresses and those features of construction, arrangement and combinations of parts in which'my invention resides, such cinctl defined in the appended claims.
7 Re erring now to the accompanying drawvjug, in which like numerals of reference in 'dicate like parts throughout: Figure 1 is a front view showing the parts arranged to form a sofa. Fig. 2 is a view in end elevation thereof, and illustrating by broken lines the arrangement of thevarious parts when the sofa isconverted into a bed, and Fig. 3 is an end view illustrating the back in lowered position on thebase part.
In carrying out my invention I provide a base part 1, supported on suitable legs, as
2, and a part4 which can be either arranged in vertical position at the rear edge of the base part to form a back or disposed horizontally in front of the base part so as to form an extension thereof, as illustrated by dotted lines in Fig. 2, thereby providing a bed of a desirable width.
In the present embodiment of my invention, part 4 is pivotally connected adjacent its upper edge with arms 5, swingingly mounted on thebase part 1, and connected ,by. links 7 to an adjustable support 6. Support 6 is preferably in the form of a box, mounted on' rollers 3 beneath base part 1.
. Links 7 are pivoted directly to projections 8 on the forward edge portion of support 6, which projections engage the adjacent legs 2 when the parts are arranged as for a sofa and thereby limit the rearward movement of part 4.-. Base 1 is provided at its rear edge with a suitable vertical extension 9 against which the lower ortion of part 4 is adapted to bear and t erebybe prevented from swinging outwardly. j
WVhen it is desired to extend the sofa to form a bed, arms 4 are swung forwardly thereby lowering the back part and forcing the support outwardly to the position shown in Fig.3. The back part is then swung on its pivots in the direction of the arrow in Fig. 3 a com lete half turn when it will be clear of the arse permittingthe arms and links to move downivardl until the back rests upon the support as indicated by-dotted lines in Fig. 2. l
The base and back may be of any suitable construction and provided with cushions or springs as may be desired.
Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United ica, is:
1. A sofa bed comprising a base part provided at its forward and rear edges with legs, a second part normally arranged vertically at the rear edge of said base part, straight arms pivoted to said base part and to the upper portion of said second part for supportln said second part for swinging to a horizonta position beyond the forward edge of said base part, sai base part being provided at its rear edge with a fixed vertical extension to prevent outward swinging of the lower portion of said second part, a supporting means arranged beneath said base part for sliding outwardly beneath said second part when the same is arranged horizontally, lugs on the outer side edge of said supporting means for limiting its movement inwardly beneath said base part, and
linkspivoted to said lugs and to the upper.
