Abstract
A foldable bunk bed assembly is disclosed including an upper and lower bed assembly that can be opened independently. The upper bed assembly includes a leg assembly which includes at least one rung to facilitate climbing into the upper bed assembly. Also included are biasing means to aid in the opening and closing of the upper bed assembly.
Claims7
A wall bed comprising:
- a pair of lateral post assemblies;
- a first bed frame disposed with its proximate end adjacent to and pivotally coupled to said lateral post assemblies;
- and
- a pair of leg assemblies coupled to the distal end of said bed frame, each of said leg assemblies comprising:
- a foldable leg pivotally coupled to the distal end of said bed frame;
- at least one rung having its proximate end disposed adjacent one of said lateral post assemblies;
- first means for pivotally and displaceably coupling the distal end of said rung to said leg comprising an L-shaped member pivotally coupled at one end to said leg and secured at the other end to said rung;
- and
- second means for pivotally and displaceably coupling the proximate end of said rung to one of said lateral post assemblies, whereby rotation of the bed frame results in the rotation of the leg with respect to the bed frame, the rotation and displacement of the rung with respect to the leg and the rotating and displacement of the rung with respect to the lateral post assemblies.

In a wall bed of the type having a vertical supporting structure, an upper and a lower bed structure and means for pivotally mounting said bed frame structures on said supporting structure the improvement comprising:
- a pair of legs pivotally secured to the upper bed;
- at least a pair of rungs;
- means comprising a pair of L-shaped members each one of said pair being pivotally coupled at one end to a leg and secured at the other end to a rung for pivotally and displaceably coupling each of said pair of rungs to a corresponding one of said legs;
- and
- means for pivotally and displaceable coupling each of said pairs of rungs to the vertical supporting structure.
