Definitions

• the invention relates to a convertible into a bed, with a furniture frame, the upper part of which is provided with an extendable upholstered trolley, whereby to form the lying surface, pads are provided for a cushion arranged in front of and behind the upholstery of the trolley are.
• the furniture frame encloses a bedding room and that the rear support is designed as a plate that can be placed on the bedding room in the lying position of the furniture as a lid.
• the bedding compartment is freely accessible when the trolley is pulled out and the bedding can be easily removed or inserted.
• FIG. 1 shows a side view of a piece of furniture according to the invention in the sitting position
• FIG. 2 shows this piece of furniture in an intermediate position on a reduced scale
• FIG. 3 shows the piece of furniture according to FIGS. 1 and 2 in the lying position
• 4 shows another embodiment of the furniture in the sitting position
• FIG. 5 shows the furniture according to FIG. 4 in the lying position.
• the furniture has a furniture frame 1, which is supported at its rear end by feet 2 and at its front end by a cross board 3 on the floor.
• Longitudinal beams 4 extend to the side of the furniture frame and connect the feet 2 and the cross board 3.
• a carriage 5 provided on its upper side with a cushion 6 is slidably mounted on the upper side of the furniture frame 1.
• the carriage 5 is supported on the floor by feet 7 provided with rollers 8.
• a backrest 9 has a cushion 10 which is fastened to a frame 11, which frame is rotatably mounted on the carriage 5 via arms 12. In the seating position of the furniture, feet 13 extend from the frame 11 to the rear.
• a loose wedge-shaped cushion 14 is placed on the cushion 6 in the sitting position and is held at its rear end by the lower end of the backrest 9. Behind the upholstery 6 and the backrest, a plate 15 is pivotally mounted in bearings 16 via arms 43.
• the furniture frame 1 encloses a bedding compartment 18, the opening of which is formed by the upper edges of the parts 2, 3 and 4.
• the side walls of the bedding compartment 18, which also cover the lower part of the arms 12, are not shown in the drawings for the sake of clarity.
• the carriage 5 has a base plate 20 on which the cushion 6 rests.
• a metal bracket 21 forms the lateral boundary for the cushion 6, the arms 12 also being articulated on the metal bracket via pins 22.
• the upper end of the arms 12 is pivotable on the frame 11 of the backrest 9 about pin 23.
• a transverse part 24 of the frame 1 extends on its rear side between the feet 2 and serves as a stop for the plate 15 in its vertical position.
• the cross member 24, the cross board 3 and the side members 4 serve to fasten a nylon bag 25, which forms the bedding compartment 18 in this embodiment of the invention.
• this sack is fastened in such a way that its end parts form friction-reducing strips 19, on which the carriage 5 is easily movable.
• the sack can also be fastened differently and separate friction-reducing strips can be arranged.
• a hook 26 cooperating with a stop 27 limits the pull-out movement of the carriage 5.
• the cushions 6 and 14 each have a layer 47 of hard foam material and a layer 48 of softer foam, the layer 48 being thinner than the layer 47.
• the two softer layers 48 lie one on top of the other in the sitting position shown in FIG. 1, so that the more pleasant, harder foam layer 47 faces upwards when sitting. In the lying position, however, the user can lie on the softer layers 48.
• the carriage 5 In order to move the furniture from the sitting position shown in FIG. 1 to the lying position according to FIG. 3, the carriage 5 is brought forward, as a result of which the bedding compartment 18 is accessible from the side. After removal of the bedding, the plate 15 is placed on the bedding room, so that the position shown in FIG. 2 is reached. As a result of the arrangement of the arms 43, the plate 15 is inclined, so that when the cushion 14 is placed on it, the wedge shape of this cushion that is comfortable for sitting is compensated for and a straight lying surface is created.
• the arms 12 are then pivoted with the backrest 9 in a known manner in order to bring the backrest into a position in front of the cushion 6. 3, in which a cover 41 located in the seat position inside the backrest can be pulled over the lying surface.
• the loose cushion 14 forms the front part of the lying surface and is placed on a cushion carrier 36 which can be pulled out of the carriage 5 and has feet 44.
• the wedge-shaped back cushion 37 forms the rear part of the lying surface and is placed on an inclined plate 38 in a manner similar to that described above.
• the plate 38 is relatively short and it is not necessary for it to extend above the upper surface of the cushion 14 in the seating position of the furniture. This avoids the need to suddenly reduce the thickness of the back pad 37.
• the plate 38 rises from the back to the front in the lying position, its front edge on the rear end of a part closing the bedding compartment 18
• Plate 15 rests. In the vertical position of the plate 15 is her rear edge on a cross member 45.
• the rear wall 17 which is firmly connected to the frame 1 ends at the same height with the side walls 39 shown in dashed lines in FIG. 4.
• the two pads 6 and 14 are connected by a fabric hinge 49.
• FIG. 5 it is indicated by dashed lines that the cushion carrier 36 in the carriage 5 can be slidably mounted in tubes 51.
• the feet 44 come in when inserting the pad 36. Position to the side of the feet 7.
