Folding bed-frame member and bed assembly

Abstract

A spring-balanced, wall-type bed-frame member, which is adapted to support at least a portion of a mattress assembly, is pivotable between a vertical position adjacent a wall and a horizontal position upon a floor for use. The bed frame portion upon which the mattress assembly will lie is pivotally mounted upon a support member mounted on rollers. One end of a connecting bar is pivotally attached to that bed frame portion towards the foot end of the bed frame relative to the pivot and the other end of the connecting bar is fixed relative to the floor and also pivotally mounted. Spring means join the bed frame portion lying towards the headboard portion of the bed frame with the bottom portion of the support section mounted on rollers. Rotation of the bed frame from its vertical position adjacent the wall towards the floor causes the support member mounted on rollers to move towards the wall in response to the rotational movement of the headboard portion of the bed frame as it acts through the spring on the frame mounted on rollers.
