Abstract
What is disclosed is a a storage area for a bed and a method of use. The bed includes a first section and a second section coupled to each other via a hinge mechanism. The first section includes a first surface, wherein one or more items of bedding lie on the first surface, and a constraining mechanism. The second section includes a storage area. The method includes rotating the first section about the hinge mechanism from a closed position to an open position and constraining, by the constraining mechanism, the one or more items of bedding to lie on the first surface during the rotating of the first section.
Claims20
A method for a bed, wherein
- the bed comprises a first section and a second section coupled to each other via a hinge mechanism,
- the first section comprises
- a first surface, wherein one or more items of bedding lie on the first surface, and
- a constraining mechanism comprising:
- one or more headboards comprising a first one or more panels, wherein:
- the first one or more panels rotate between a first head position and a second head position, and
- one or more footboards comprising a second one or more panels, wherein:
- the second one or more panels rotate between a first foot position and a second foot position, and
- the second section comprises a storage area,
- the method comprising:
- rotating the first section about the hinge mechanism from a closed position to an open position;
- and
- constraining, by the constraining mechanism, the one or more items of bedding to lie on the first surface during the rotating of the first section, wherein the constraining by the constraining mechanism further comprises:
- the first one or more panels rotating from the first head position to the second head position,
- the second one or more panels rotating from the first foot position to the second foot position, and
- the rotating of the first one or more panels and the second one or more panels is performed to hold the one or more items of bedding to the first surface.
A system for a bed, wherein the bed comprises
- a first section and a second section coupled to each other via a hinge mechanism,
- the first section comprises
- a first surface, wherein one or more items of bedding lie on the first surface, and
- a constraining mechanism controlled by a constraining mechanism control unit, wherein the constraining mechanism comprises:
- one or more headboards comprising a first one or more panels, wherein
- the first one or more panels rotate between a first head position and a second head position, and
- one or more footboards comprising a second one or more panels, wherein
- the second one or more panels rotate between a first foot position and a second foot position;
- the second section comprises
- a storage area, and
- a sectional rotating mechanism to rotate the first section about the hinge mechanism between a closed position and an open position,
- wherein the sectional rotating mechanism is controlled by a sectional rotating mechanism control unit, and
- the sectional rotating mechanism control unit is communicatively coupled to the constraining mechanism control unit via one or more interconnections,
- wherein when the first section is rotated to the open position from the closed position,
- the constraining mechanism is controlled by the constraining mechanism control unit to constrain the one or more items of bedding to lie on the first surface during the rotating of the first section, wherein the constraining by the constraining mechanism of the one or more items of bedding comprises:
- the first one or more panels rotating from the first head position to the second head position to hold the one or more items of bedding to the first surface,
- the second one or more panels rotating from the first foot position to the second foot position, and
- the rotating of the first one or more panels and the second one or more panels performed to hold the one or more items of bedding to the first surface.
