Abstract
Improvement in Combination bed (4) and desk (3) is disclosed: an articulated parallelogram (6, 8, 10, 11) based system and mechanism that links bed frame (4) and desktop (3) to elements (6, 10) fixed to a wall (or support or furniture body). Bed rotates as a wallbed, and desktop goes down and up always leveled. In raised position, bed lies against the wall, bedding concealed, and cantilever desktop at standard height rests against bed bottom. In the lowered position, the bed is deployed at normal height and desktop goes underneath at floor level. Desktop can admit objects as a PC monitor (up to 0.4 m height) that can remain undisturbed through conversion and stowing.

A Combination bed and desk furniture item, movable between a desk use position, in which the bed is stowed in a vertical non-use position, and a bed use position, in which the desk is stowed beneath the bed next to the floor, comprising a bed pivotally connected at to a fixed support, and a desk pivotally connected at to the bed, the desk also being guided by connecting rods pivotally connected at the other end to the fixed support, wherein the desk remains horizontal while moving and when reaching the two end positions, this arrangement of said combination furniture item conforming a parallelogram linkage, characterized in that said parallelogram comprises:
- a fixed first substantially upright imaginary side fixed to furniture side or support;
- a skewing second adjacent imaginary side pertaining to the bed,
- a third imaginary side, opposite to the first one, pertaining to the desk, which side remains parallel to the first fixed side during the movement,
- a skewing fourth side which is a connecting rod linking a point of the desk to the low end of above mentioned first fixed upright side, the result being obtained that the use and non-use positions of the desk situates substantially vertically each other.
