Application August 10,
2 Claims.
This invention relates broadly to furniture and more particularly to ya combination chair and bed; the invention having for its object to provide an article of furniture of this character which will be of simple construction, capable of easy and rapid adjustment for use either as a chair or bed, and will otherwise be an improvement of similar known or patented articles of furniture.
The invention together with its objects and advantages will be best understood from a study of the following description taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, wherein:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of the article of furniture adjusted for use as a chair.
Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the article of furniture adjusted for use as a chair.
Figure 3 is a side elevational view showing the article of furniture adjusted for use as a bed.
Figure 4 is a fragmentary detailed elevational View illustrating certain details hereinafter more fully referred to.
Figure 5 is a fragmentary top plan view showing the back frame and hinged extension there-- for in adjusted position when the furniture is adjusted for use as a bed.
Figure 6 is a perspective view showing fragmentarily a portion of the hinged extension frame and a wing member associated therewith.
Figure 7 is a perspective view of a brace bar.
Referring more in detail to the drawings, it will be seen that in the preferred embodiment thereof the article of furniture comprises a seat frame 5, constructed of wood or othersuitable material with the front and rear members of the frame also shaped to provide supporting legs 6. At the corners thereof the frame 5 is equipped with supports 1 for a seat cushion. fl
Also the article of furniture embodies side arm-rests 8 supported by rear supporting members 9 and front supporting members ll! of any suitable shape and design.
The back frame for the chair is indicated by the reference numeral II, and the side rails (2 thereof are hinged to the rear frame member 5a of the seat frame 5 as at [3. In this connection it will be noted that the frame member Ed has its upper edge rabbeted as at M to accommodate the hinged ends of the rails l2 of frame ll.
Also to accommodate therrails l2 of the frame i l the arm-rests 8 at the rear ends thereof are notched as at l5.
To secure the frame II in a substantially upright position when the article of furniture is adjusted. for use as a chair there is provided a 1939. Serial No. 289,477, (Cl. 155-47) combination brace and retaining bar It, and the ends of said bar are accommodated in notches IT provided therefor in the upper ends of the armrests support 9.
When the article of furniture is adjusted for use 'as a bed there is provided for the frame ll an extension frame l8 that is substantially rectangular in form and has secured to opposite sides thereof through the medium of brackets l9 Wings 21'! of suitable edge contour or design. The wings are designed to serve as feet or supports for the frame section [8 when the article of furniture is adjusted as shown in Figure 3 for use as a bed.
At one end thereof the wing members 20 project beyond the side of the frame l8 that is hinged to the upper end of the frame I l as at 21.
In the extended ends thereof the wing members 20 are provided with notches or recesses 22 to accommodate the ends of the brace bar I 6 when the article of furniture is adjusted as shown in Figure 3 for use as a bed.
In connection with the above it is noted that the brace bar 16 when engaged with the notches 22 in the wings 20, extends transversely of the, frame II at the under side thereof and serves as a brace for said frame II.
It will be understood that any suitable cushion structure may be used and supported by the frame I I as a back cushion for the article of furniture when the latter is adjusted for use as a chair. a
From the above it will be seen that the frame ll may be readily lowered into a horizontal position from the position shown in Figure 1 to the position shown in Figure 3 for converting the article of furniture into a bed; and from the horizontal position shown in Figure 3 to the substantially vertical position shown in Figures 1 and 2 when the article of furniture is adjusted for use as a chair.
When the article of furniture is adjusted for use as a chair the bar l6 with the ends thereof fitting in the notches ll serve to support the frame II in the proper position, while when the article of furniture is adjusted in position for use as a bed, the bar l6, extending between the wings 28 and with its ends engaged in the notches 22 of said wings,serves to brace and reinforce the frame ll adjacent the end thereof hinged to the frame extension l8.
It is thought that a clear understanding of the construction, utility and advantages of an invention of this character will be had without a more detailed description.
Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. A combination chair and bed including a seat frame, arm-rests supported at opposite sides of said seat frame, supports for said arm-rests rising from the seat frame adjacent the front and rear of the latter, said rear arm-rest supports provided with notches, a back frame hinged at one end thereof to the rear of said seat frame, an extension frame hinged to the free end of said back frame, said extension frame being provided at opposite sides thereof with wings adapted to engage the ground for supporting said hinged extension frame coplaner with said back frame, said wings being provided with notches and a brace bar engaging in the notches of the aforementioned rear arm-rest supports for retaining said back frame in a substantially vertical position when the article of furniture is adjusted for use as a chair, and said brace bar engaging the lower side of the back frame, with its ends fitting in the notches in said Wings when the back frame and extension frame are lowered to horizontal position with the extension frame in alignment with the back frame.
2. In a combination article of furniture, a seat frame, a back frame hinged to said seat frame, an extension frame hinged to the free end of said back frame for use therewith when the article of furniture is adjusted for use as a bed, said hinged extension frame having side wings, said side wings having end portions thereof extending beyond said extension frame at the end thereof hinged to said back frame, said wings at said extended ends thereof being provided with notches, and a cross-bar having the ends thereof engaging said notches and engaging the lower side of the back frame for bracing said back frame when the back frame is in horizontal position and the frame extension is in alignment with said back frame.
