  • This arrangement permits panel installation against a wall parallel to the panel. It will be noted that, with this arrangement, the panels 12 do not touch either the floor or the ceiling, their ends being spaced a significant distance from both.
  • the header bar is a generally U-shaped structure (FIGS. 1, 2 and 11), having its two sides secured to the panels 12 by suitable fasteners such as the bolts 26. Near its outward edge and centered between its ends, the header bar has a latch opening 27 to engage the hereinafter described latch.
  • the frame or main supporting structure of the bed is a platform 30. While this platform may have a number of different constructions, it is preferably a composite panel having a pair of end rails 31, a pair of side rails 32 and a pair of intermediate rails 33 (FIG. 3).
  • This structure is enclosed by suitable facing sheets 34 which may be of any suitable material such as plywood or a composition hardboard.
  • the facing sheets 34 are secured to the frame by suitable means such as adhesives.
  • the bed also has a headboard 35- consisting of a lower section 36 and an upper section 37 joined by a hinge 38 (FIGS. 1 and 9).
  • the lower section 36 is secured to the platform 30 and projects to a height above the top surface of the platform 30 such that the hinge 38, when the bed is in open position, is above the top surface of the mattress 39 and preferably is far enough above the mattress to permit the sheets, blankets and, in some cases, the pillows, to be folded between the mattress and the headboard when the bed is folded into storage.
  • the purpose of the folding headboard will be explained more fully hereinafter.
  • pivot plates 45 (FIG. 9), one on each side of the bed.
  • the pivot plates are secured to the side edge of the platform 30 and the lower section 36 of the headboard 35.
  • the pivot plates also have an inwardly turned flange 46 which wraps around the back of the headboard 35.
  • the pivot plates may be secured to the bed structure by any suitable means such as screws 47.
  • the pivot plates 45 carry the full load of the pivotal movement of the bed plus they support the bed at one end when the bed is in open position.
  • This pivot consists of a bearing collar 50 which seats through the opening 51a in the panel 12 (FIG. 10). Passing through opening 51 in the pivot plate 45 and through the collar bearing 50 is a pivot member 52 which has a reduced section 53 designed to seat within the collar 50.
  • the reduced section 53 is internally threaded to receive the cap screw 54, which is inserted from the outside of the panel 12.
  • the pivot member 52 has a head 55 apertured to receive fasteners by which it is secured to the pivot plate 45 in the holes 56.
  • the balancing mechanism for the bed includes a frame 60 having a pair of C-shaped vertical tracks 61 joined at their upper and lower ends by crossbars 62.
  • the crossbars 62 are positioned to seat against the rails 11 and to be secured to them to support the frame 60.
  • the frame may have an intermediate cross brace 62a.
  • a pair of elongated U-shaped brackets 63 are secured to the headboard 35 adjacent the upper edge of the upper section 37.
  • the legs of the brackets are apertured and receive the rod 64.
  • the ends of the rod 64 are inserted in the guide blocks 65 (FIGS. 6 and 8) which slidably fit in the rails 61.
  • These guide blocks are preferably of a material having high mar resistance and low surface friction, as for example, the polyamide sold by E. I. Du
  • each bracket 63 a plurality of springs 67 are hooked over the rod 64 and held in position by spacers 68. The other ends of the springs 67 are secured to hanger wires 69 which are in turn secured to the lower one of the crossbars 62. As many of the springs 67 are used as are necessary to properly counterbalance the weight of the bed frame 30 together with that of the mattress.
  • a pair of cars 70 project inwardly one from each of the tracks 61.
  • a plunger 71 biased upwardly by a spring 72.
  • the plungers 71 are vertically aligned with the outer legs of the brackets 63 and are so positioned vertically that the brackets will contact them when the end of the bed frame 30 is spaced about eight inches from the header bar 25 (FIG. 1).
  • the plungers are depressed against the springs 72, compressing them (FIG. 7).
  • the ears 70 together with the plungers 71 and springs 72 constitute the snubbers 75.
  • a rod extends through the center of the bed platform 30 (FIGS. 3, 4 and 7).
  • One end of rod 80 is secured to the foot plate 81 on the bottom of the bed platform 30.
  • the other end of the rod 80 terminates at the foot of the bed platform, extending therethrough with a spring loaded latch mounted thereon.
  • Latch 90 is adapted to fit within the latch opening 27 in the header bar 25 as will be more fully explained hereinafter.
  • the outer end of the bed is supported by a leg 100.
  • the leg is rigidly secured to the bed.
  • the leg may be foldably or hingedly secured to the bottom of the platform 30 by brackets 101 (FIG. 2). These are secured by any suitable means such as screws.
  • brackets 101 Above the headboard 35 of the bed a light 102 is mounted (FIG. 1).
  • Shelves 103 may be mounted between the panels 12 above the light 101 to hold and store items used primarily at night when the bed is down.
  • the folding bed is assembled as follows. For purposes of description, the assembly is described in relationship to the rails 11 and panels 12 mounted on the wall 10.
  • the bed itself may be an assembled unit when it reaches its point of installation, being a flat, compact unit.
  • This assembly may include the balancing mechanism already secured to the bed.
  • the springs 67 and their related mechanisms would be fully assembled.
  • the frame 60 With the bed lowered, the frame 60 can then be secured to the upper and lower rails 11 and the bed pivotally attached to the panels 12 installation of the various components making up the pivot assembly including the cap screws 54.
  • This arrangement reduces the installation costs to a minimum. It also eliminates the necessity for special skills at time of installation. It permits accurate factory adjustment of the mechanism.
  • the bed could be shipped disassembled and assembled at the point of installation. Again, the bed and its parts could be secured to a wall and standard head supports without departing from the principles of this invention.
  • the bed has two basic positions.
  • the open position is illustrated in FIG. 1 and the folded or storage position is illustrated in FIG. 2.
  • the bed extends horizontally, supported on its inner end through the pivot plates 45 by the panels 12 and on its outer end by the extended leg 100. This leaves the floor under the bed completely free of obstruction except for the leg 100. This is particularly true since the head or inner end of the bed does not rest on the floor and is supported solely by the panels 12 which, in turn, are hung on the wall rather than supported on the floor.
  • open position
  • the headboard 35 is moved upwardly and the upper section 37 and lower section 36 of the headboard are substantially aligned.
  • the counterbalance springs 67 are extended, biasing the bed toward folded position.
  • a counterbalancing force for the springs is selected such that the bed will not fold up unless the outer end is positively lifted from the floor.
  • the light 102 at the upper end of the headboard is in a convenient position for use from the bed when the bed is open, as are the shelves 103.
  • the lower section 36 of the headboard rotates from a vertical to a horizontal position while the upper section 37 of the headboard slides downwardiy, guided by the tracks 62.
  • the pivot about which the bed rotates is so located that preferably the bottom of the outer face of the platform 30 lies flush With the outer edges of the panels 12 in storage position. It of course will be understood that, if it is desired to have this bottom or outer face inset between the panels 12, the pivot point about which the bed is rotated may be relocated in relation to the panels 12.
  • the latch 90 engages with the latch opening 27 in the header bar 25, locking the bed against accidental opening.
  • the bed When the bed is locked in storage position, it presents a flush surface to the exterior except for the folded down leg 100. Also, in storage position, an opening remains between the headboard 35 and the wall permitting air to pass vertically between the bed and the Wall, thus affording ventilation which is particularly important to this type of furniture.
  • the snubbers 75 prevent the bed from remaining in true vertical position when it is not latched. They automatically hold the bed some six to ten inches away from the header bar 25 where it will be obvious that the bed is not latched into storage position.
  • the user steps on the foot plate 81, causing link 80 to pull the spring loaded latch '90 downwardly, disengaging it from latch opening 27 in the header bar 25.
  • the bed may then be pulled downwardly.
  • the plungers 71 and springs 72 (FIGS. and 7) immediately pivot the bed outwardly a few inches upon release of the latch 90. There is no danger of the bed rocking downwardly with substantial force since the springs 67 restrain it.
  • the springs 67 should be so tensioned that the bed when released and kicked outwardly a short distance by the plungers 71 will automatically arrest and refuse to swing further out without application of force by the operator.
  • the bed is not diflicult to lower since the Weight of the platform 30, the mattress 39 and bedding will aid in extending the springs 67.
  • the upper portion 37 of headboard 35 moves upwardly, being guided into upright position by its pivotal attachment to the rod 64, which rides and is guided in the tracks 61.
  • the bed comes to rest when the sections 36 and 37 of headboard 35 are aligned, leg 100 resting on the floor.
  • the entire operating mechanism is concealed.
  • the counterbalance springs 67 are completely concealed at all times behind the headboard 35. This not only affords the bed a neat and attractive appearance but it also makes the bed easy to clean since there are no exposed ledges or mechanisms to gather dust. Further, there are no exposed linkages such as are common to conventional folding beds. The absence of exposed metal parts such as springs and linkages eliminates all possibility of rust spots occurring on the bedding or the mattress where they contact metal parts which must, of necessity, be of a ferrous material to afford the desired strength or resiliency.
  • the pivot plates 45 if of a non-corrosion resistant material such as steel, are plated.
  • the plates 45 may also be fabricated of aluminum which has sufficient strength for this purpose and is non-corrosive and therefore will not mark the linen. If further protection is desired from the aluminum fittings, they may be coated with a suitable synthetic resinous material.
  • the mechanism is greatly simplified, eliminating the conventional lazy-tong and scissor-like linkages which often become inoperative due to interference resulting from bending and wear after a protracted period of usage.
  • the simplicity of the structure affords it long life with minimum maintenance.
  • this invention provides a bed which folds down and up with ease. In its open position it provides a bed with a complete headboard, reading light and other facilities which are also desirable in connection with equipment of this type. In folded position, it forms a neat, compact and attractive unit. It will be recognized that additional facilities for the comfort of the user may be provided, such as shelves or bookcases 103 provided above the light. This however, is merely adding further facilities to the basic invention.
  • the panels 1'2 and the rails 11 or their equivalent may be made a rigid box-like sub assembly and the bed, together with its operating mechanism including the springs 67 and their related operating structure, assembled thereto as a single integrated package.
  • This package may then be installed by securing it to suitable stationary structure such as a Wall which will restrain the box-like subassembly from following the bed as it is opened and closed.
