Definitions

  • the present invention relates to sofa-beds, and in particular to a sofa-bed which is capable of taking a "chaise-longue" configuration which in practice is intermediate between the sofa and bed configurations. It should be noted that what will be said hereafter though specifically referring to a sofa-bed also applies to an armchair-bed which simply has a smaller width.
  • a sofa in general can not be transformed into a bed, other than in the case of a sofa-bed with a so-called "booklike" structure wherein the seat and the back can basculate and get aligned along a horizontal plane.
  • the length of the bed is defined by the width of the sofa, whereby such a structure can be applied only in the case of sofas at least 180 cm wide.
  • the width of the sofa substantially coincides with the width of the bed
  • the bedspring consists of three sections mutually hinged which are pulled out from the base of the sofa-bed and extend in a direction orthogonal with respect to the width of the sofa-bed. Therefore it is possible to make armchair-beds and sofa-beds of different widths according to specific room requirements.
  • the back is usually integral with the base of the sofa and therefore can not be inclined.
  • the three sections making up the bedspring can not take any intermediate position between that of complete disappearance, when they are folded inside the base, and that of complete extension and alignment when they are arranged to form the bed.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a sofa-bed or an armchair-bed which overcomes the above-mentioned limits of prior art structures. This object is achieved by means of a sofa-bed or an armchair-bed having the characteristics disclosed in the main claim. Other advantageous features are specified in the dependent claims.
  • the main advantage of the present sofa-bed is exactly that of being able to take a "chaise-longue" configuration which is intermediate between the completely closed sofa configuration and the completely open bed configuration.
  • the back is inclined and the seat is already extended to act as a support for the legs, so as to provide a greater relax for the user without having to take up the room of the completely extended bed.
  • a sofa-bed substantially includes a base B containing a foldable bed divided into three sections S1, S2, S3 mutually connected.
  • Base B is made up of two sides joined by crossbars, and in each side there is arranged a guide A having an upward inclination from the rear end towards the front end.
  • Section S1 forms the sofa back and is connected to base B through side levers L, whose top and bottom ends are respectively pivoted at about the middle of section S1 and at the rear bottom comer of base B. Moreover, section S1 is hinged to the adjacent section S2 through hinges H which slide along guides A by means of pins engaged in tracks formed in the internal side of said guides A.
  • the central section S2 is arranged inside base B, on which it rests through a foot C provided with an end roller and housed in a ramp seat R having the same inclination as guides A.
  • Said rod V is pivoted at its front and rear ends respectively to one of said legs P and to a lug integral with section S1 close to hinge H.
  • the sofa seat is formed by the third section S3 which is arranged above section S2 and connected thereto through two pairs of side levers E, F. More specifically, a first pair of levers E is pivoted between the rear end of section S3 and a bottom lug located at about 1/3 from the forward end of the central section S2; while a second pair of levers F is pivoted between a position about in the middle of section S3 and a bottom lug located at the forward end of the central section S2. Moreover, section S3 is provided with a pair of front fixed legs G.
  • section S3 is pulled so as to advance substantially through a translation parallel with respect to section S2 due to the rotation of the connecting levers E, F around their respective pivots.
  • section S2 is also pulled forward and rises to align with section S3, moving up along ramp R through foot C and according to the inclination of guide A followed by hinge H.
  • the movement of hinge H obviously causes also the inclination of section S1 forming the back.
  • the precise angle of inclination of the back is determined by one or more stops (not illustrated) which allow the selection of the position preferred by the user.
  • stops may be made in different ways well known to a person skilled in the art, e.g. through a stop pin which blocks foot C, or by using in hinge H a snap mechanism with one or more positions like those used in the booklike sofa-beds described in the introductory portion of the specification. If the structure is then to be completely extended to the bed configuration it is necessary to overcome the stop and take the back to the horizontal position.
