Definitions

  • This invention deals with a sofa convertible into bed and more particularly the relative folding frame, with an articulated structure and synchronised movements.
  • sofas convertible into beds contain into their structure a metallic frame which has an articulated folding structure, including a fixed frame for the support to which are connected some mobile frames consecutively hinged between themselves.
  • the mobile frames When they function as a sofa, the mobile frames are folded one on another and inserted inside of the support fixed frame; in order to form the bed, the mobile frames come out from the fixed frame by a rotary and translatory movement until they line up between themselves.
  • X-structure elastic X-support structure
  • the sofas having a folding and articulated structure there are furthermore some devices permitting to synchronise between themselves the vertical translatory movement and the rotary one of the distension of the mobile frames in order to bring them with only one operation from the position of the sofa into the position of a bed and vice versa; furthermore, tricks are foreseen, which permit to obtain a stable sofa bed, either in bed position or in sofa position, without the use of any locking device.
  • this backrest does not represent a mobile auxiliary frame that acts as an extension of the bed, but has only the function to act as a support for the extension of the bed or as backrest of the sofa.
  • a rod 26, hinged to the first mobile frame 17 in point 26a and a smaller rod 27 hinged itself in point 27a to a plate connected to frame 18 and in point 27b to a second smaller rod 28 hinged in point 28b to frame 23, has the aim to create a mechanism of blockage that does not permit the extension of the bed if the rotation of frame 23 solid to the backrest 25 has not been executed; it has also the function to block it in a perpendicular position to frame 18 when this latter is completely extended in the bed position.
  • the third auxiliary frame 34 has the only aim to lengthen the bed, not being able in any way to act as a backrest to the sofa; furthermore it must be pointed out that the figures that illustrate the above mentioned patent do not have some numerical references and it is very difficult to understand the function of the bedframe.
  • Main aim of the invention is to eliminate all said disadvantages of sofa beds having an articulated and folding structure, providing a sofa bed with a reduced encumbrance as a sofa, but enabling to form a bed of a greater length.
  • this invention solves the problem of getting a bed suitable also to people higher than the medium, without increasing the encumbrance of the fixed frame for the support and in order to hide, with a pleasant look, the double function sofa/bed.
  • the invention solves the problem of furnishing a mechanism able to synchronise contemporarily, and without adding any operations to the movements that the framework has to do to become a bed, without any danger of finger crushing during the transformation.
  • the sofa bed is made of a fixed frame 1 with rectangular plan, in which is inserted all the framework constituting the bed, including the mattress and a known type of X-structure, already used in the construction of the sofa beds, which supports a mobile frame 2.
  • a first auxiliary mobile frame 3 having a U-shaped section, to which is hinged a second auxiliary mobile frame 4 connected in turn to a third auxiliary mobile frame 5, which, when they are laying, are forming the horizontal framework supporting the bed mattress.
  • the third auxiliary mobile frame 5 is integral with legs 6 and orthogonal to them, which support the extremity of the bed not supported by the X-structure 18.
  • the X-structure lifting it, causes the coming out of mobile frame 2 when, to form the bed, the first auxiliary mobile frame 3 is made to rotate.
  • the rotation of the first auxiliary mobile frame 3 is caused by the second auxiliary mobile frame 4 hinged in 19 to the first mobile frame 3; the rotation of frame 4 is caused in turn by the third mobile frame 5, by the compound lever 24 and 22 hinged with pin 17 at the first auxiliary frame 3 and at lever 16 which transmits its movement to little wheel 11 running in eyelet 10.
  • Rods 24, 22, 16, 13 and 12 constitute the compound lever which synchronise the movements of the frames constituting the bed.
  • the interconnection rod 20 transmits the movement of the auxiliary frame 4 to the first mobile frame 2 and vice-versa; the little arm of lever 20 keeps in fact the second mobile frame 4 from rotating around the extremity 19 of the first mobile frame without transmitting movement to the first mobile frame 2
  • lever 24 is welded to the third auxiliary mobile frame 5; the supporting leg 6 orthogonally welded to mobile frame 5 itself.
  • the first auxiliary mobile frame 3 acts as an interconnection element between the second auxiliary 4 and the principal mobile frame 2.
  • the second auxiliary mobile frame 4 is blocked to the fixed support frame 1 by the blocking device illustrated in details in fig. 6 and 7.
  • Said device is constituted by a hook 33 hinged in point 40 and reactioned by a spring 35.
  • the hook is driven by the little lever 36 connected to a flexible tie-rod 37, provided at its extremity with a pommel 38.
  • the tie-rod 37 runs through the hole of a L-shaped plate 42 which blocks it when the hook is in closing position.
  • the lever 22 which causes the blocking of the second auxiliary mobile frame 4 is provided with a pin 32 which goes to thread itself into the fork 34 when the second mobile frame 4 is folded to form the sofa: by the hook 33, the pin 32 remains blocked into the fork 34.
