Abstract
A sofa has a first frame fixed to first and second side members and a mattress with a first section secured to the first frame and a second section located over the first section by a hinge to define a seat that is rotated about the hinge to define a first sleeping surface. A second frame is pivotally attached to the first and second side members with a second mattress attached thereto to define a back for the sofa. A rail is secured to the second frame and engages a beam that extends between the first and second side member to set an incline for the back. The rail is rotated to define a barrier when the second frame is positioned a horizontal plane to define a second sleeping surface. Legs that extend from the second frame engage the side members to retain the second mattress in the horizontal plane.
Claims11
A sofa that may be converted into multi-sleeping surfaces comprising:
- a first side member having a first top that extends from a first rear face and transitions into a first ledge that extends from a first front face and a first bottom, said first side member having a first horizontal bore that is located adjacent the first top and first rear face and a first vertical bore that is located in the first ledge a fixed distance from the first front face;
- a second side member having a second top that extends from a second rear face and transitions into a second ledge that extends from a second front face and a second bottom, said second side member having a second horizontal bore that is located adjacent the second top and second rear face and a second vertical bore located in the second ledge a fixed distance from the second front face;
- a first rectangular frame that is fixed in a first location adjacent to the first bottom of said first side member and the second bottom of said second side member;
- a beam that is fixed to said first rear face of the first side member, said second rear face of the second side member and to said first rectangular frame;
- a first brace that is fixed to said first rear face of the first side member adjacent the first top and to said beam;
- a second brace fixed to said second rear face of the second side member adjacent the second top and to said beam;
- a first mattress having a first section that is secured to said first rectangular frame and a second section fixed said first section through a hinge, said second section being located over the first section to define the seat for said sofa and being rotatable about the hinge to a position along side of the first section to define a first sleeping surface;
- a second rectangular frame having a first pin that extends there from and is positioned in the first horizontal bore in the first side member and a second pin that extends there from and is positioned in the second horizontal bore in the second side member to secure the second rectangular frame to the first and second side members, said second rectangular frame having a tube that extends from a front face to a rear face;
- a third side member with a projection that extends into said tube in the second rectangular frame;
- a fastener that is connected to the projection for retaining said third side member adjacent said front face of said second rectangular frame;
- a first leg that is secured to said second rectangular frame by a first keeper member, said first leg being rotatable from a first position parallel with said second rectangular frame to a second position perpendicular to said second rectangular frame;
- a second leg that is secured to said second rectangular frame by a second keeper member, said second leg being rotatable from a first position parallel with said second rectangular frame to a second position perpendicular to said second rectangular frame;
- and
- a second mattress that is fixed to said second rectangular frame, said second rectangular frame having a first position defined by the engagement of said third side member with said beam such that said second mattress is held in an inclined position to define said back for the sofa and a second position whereby said first leg is rotated into the second position and a first end thereof located in said first vertical bore in the first side member and the second leg is rotated into the second position a first end thereof located in said second vertical bore located in said second side member such that the second rectangular frame in a horizontal position with respect to the first rectangular frame and defines a second sleeping surface, said third side member being rotated within said tube in the second rectangular frame to a second position to thereafter provide a barrier adjacent the second sleeping surface.
