Motorized sofa bed

A motorized furniture assembly movable between a sofa position and a bed position, the motorized furniture assembly comprising:

• a stationary frame including two sides;
• a seat section movable relative to the stationary frame, the seat section comprising two seat support brackets and a seat deck,
• a back support section movable relative to the stationary frame, the back support section comprising back deck support brackets and a back deck;
• a power assembly for moving the furniture assembly between the sofa and bed positions, the power assembly comprising a power supply, a controller, at least one actuator;
• two motorized drive assemblies, each of the motorized drive assemblies including a movable shuttle;
• a stationary mounting assembly secured to each side of the stationary frame, one of the motorized drive assemblies being mounted to the stationary mounting assembly;
• a universal bracket attached to the movable shuttle, one of the seat support brackets being secured to the universal bracket such that the seat section moves upon movement of the shuttles of the motorized drive assemblies;
• two linkage assemblies for controlling movement of the furniture assembly between the sofa and bed positions upon actuation of said at least one actuator, each of said linkage assemblies comprising:
• a strong arm having a first end and a second end, the first end of the strong arm being pivotally connected to one of the seat support brackets and the second end of the strong arm being pivotally connected to one of the stationary mounting assemblies,
• a front arm having a first end and a second end, the first end of the front arm being pivotally connected to one of the stationary mounting assemblies;
• an L-shaped arm having a first end and a second end, the first end of the L-shaped arm being pivotally connected to the second end of the front arm and the second end of the L-shaped arm being pivotally connected to one of the seat frame supports;
• a connector arm having a first end and a second end, the first end of the connector arm being pivotally connected to the second end of the front arm and the first end of the L-shaped arm;
• a swivel arm having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end of the swivel arm being pivotally connected to one of the stationary mounting assemblies and the lower end of the swivel arm being pivotally connected to the second end of the connector arm;
• an intermediate arm having a front end and a rear end, the rear end of the intermediate arm being pivotally connected to the swivel arm between the upper and lower ends of the swivel arm;
• a teeter arm having a front end and a rear end, the front end of the teeter arm being pivotally connected to the front end of the intermediate arm;
• a rear arm having an upper end and a lower end, the upper end of the rear arm being pivotally connected to one of the seat support brackets and the lower end of the rear arm being pivotally connected to the second end of the connector arm;
• an outer arm having a front end and a rear end, the front end of the outer arm being pivotally connected to the rear end of the teeter arm and the rear end of the outer arm being pivotally connected to the rear arm between the upper and lower ends of the rear arm,
• wherein movement of the shuttles of the motorized drive assemblies moves the seat support brackets and seat section between forward and rearward positions which causes movement of the back section between horizontal and raised positions.

A kit for creating a motorized furniture assembly movable between a sofa position and a bed position, the kit comprising:

• a power supply
• a controller;
• at least one actuator;
• a left hand control assembly comprising a stationary mounting assembly, a motorized drive assembly secured to the stationary mounting assembly and a left hand linkage assembly secured to the stationary mounting assembly for controlling movement of the furniture assembly between the sofa and bed positions upon actuation of said at least one actuator, a seat support bracket and a back deck support bracket secured to the left hand linkage assembly;
• and
• a right hand control assembly comprising a stationary mounting assembly, a motorized drive assembly secured to the stationary mounting assembly and a right hand linkage assembly secured to the stationary mounting assembly for controlling movement of the furniture assembly between the sofa and bed positions upon actuation of said at least one actuator, a seat support bracket and a back deck support bracket secured to the right hand linkage assembly.
