Abstract
A foldout cabinet bed has two faces that fold out from a vertical position to a horizontal position, thereby creating a surface that can be used for sleeping. Each face has two side rails for enclosing an area for placing a mattress. The rails are dimensionally asymmetrical such that one of the faces has a smaller rail height/depth than the adjacent rail on the other face. The shorter rail height is smaller than the thickness of the mattress, thus allowing a user to comfortably sit on the edge of the mattress. The taller rail height is larger than the thickness of the mattress and provides a headboard.
Claims21
A foldout bed transitionable between an open configuration and a folded configuration, the bed comprising:
- a cabinet having first and second faces and a base having an interior space;
- wherein the first and second faces are rotatably coupled with the base such that an end of each of the first and second faces occupies a portion of the interior space when the cabinet is in the folded configuration;
- wherein the first face has a first rail and the second face has a second rail;
- wherein the first rail and the second rail are asymmetrical;
- wherein an end of the second rail extends farther into the interior space than an end of the first rail a foldable mattress having a head end and a foot end;
- and a retainer disposed to releasably hold both head and foot ends of the mattress to the first face when the first face is disposed in both the open configuration and the folded configuration.
A foldout cabinet bed, the cabinet bed being transitionable between an open configuration and a folded configuration, comprising:
- a base having an interior space;
- a first face rotatably coupled with the base and having a first ran;
- a second face rotatably coupled with the base and having a second rail;
- wherein, in the folded configuration, an end of each of the first and second faces occupies a portion of the interior space, and the end of the second rail extends farther into the interior space than the end of the first rail;
- wherein the first rail has a depth and a length that are less than a depth and a length of the second rail;
- and wherein, in the folded configuration, the first rail depth and the second rail depth are sized and dimensioned to provide a complete side enclosure.
A foldout cabinet bed, the cabinet bed being transitionable between an open configuration and a folded configuration, comprising:
- a base having an interior space;
- a first face rotatably coupled with the base and having a First rail and a second rail;
- a second face rotatably coupled with the base and having a third rail and a fourth rail;
- wherein the first rail, second rail, third rail, and fourth rail each have a length and a height;
- wherein the height of the first rail and the third rail are sized and dimensioned to provide a complete side enclosure when in the folded configuration;
- wherein the height of the second rail and fourth rail are sized and dimensioned to provide a complete side enclosure when in the folded configuration;
- wherein the length of the first rail and second rail are longer than the length of the third rail and fourth rail, respectively;
- wherein ends of the first and second rail extends farther into the interior space than ends of the third and fourth rail.
