Abstract
Divan-bed includes a fixed frame resting on the floor, a backrest and a seat, in which at least two longitudinal sides of the frame are formed by rails guiding a carriage movable in translation along a horizontal plane, the carriage having pivotably hinged on it the backrest and a shaped lever, the opposite ends of which are rotationally connected, respectively, to the backrest via a rod and to the seat, there also being provided a mechanism cooperating with an adjusting device for fixing the relative position of the backrest and seat.
Claims9
A divan-bed comprising:
- a fixed frame including a pair of longitudinal parallel rails resting on the floor;
- a pair of rigidly interconnected carriages movable along said rails in a horizontal plane between opposite extreme positions of the carriages;
- a seat mounted on said carriages and displaceable therewith in said horizontal plane;
- a backrest operatively connected with said seat and mounted pivotally about a first axis extending perpendicular to said rails on said frame upon displacement of said carriages between said extreme positions of the carriages which correspond respectively to a fully extended position of the divan-bed in which said seat and backrest lie in said horizontal plane and a folded position, each of the carriages being formed with:
- a respective shaped lever pivotal about a respective axis parallel to said first axis and formed with a one end rotationally connected with the seat and the opposite end,
- a respective first rod rotatably connecting said opposite end of the shaped lever and the backrest,
- respective adjusting means for applying a plurality of relative angular positions between said seat and backrest while said carriages moving between said fully extended and folded positions of the divan-bed, and
- respective locking means for fixing each of said angular positions.
