Abstract

A divan (10) includes a seating surface (32) and a backrest (34). In a first configuration, the backrest (34) is positioned adjacent to the seating surface (32) to support a person's back while the person is seated on the seating surface (32). In the first configuration, the seating surface (32) is disposed at a first predetermined height above a horizontal plane. In a second configuration, the backrest (34) establishes an upper bunk (94) above the seating surface. In the second configuration, the seating surface (32) establishes a lower bunk (92) beneath the upper bunk (94). In the second configuration, the seating surface (32) is disposed at a second predetermined height that is lower than the first predetermined height.

Description

[0001] Related applications [0002] This application relies on the benefit of US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 544,494, filed October 7, 2011, entitled "AIRCRAFT DIVAN CONVERTIBLE TO A BUNK BED," which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to furniture for mobile vehicles, in particular aircraft. The present invention relates to an armchair (also known as a couch, chaise longue, settee or sofa) that can be converted into a bunk bed. Background technique [0004] There are many regulations governing air travel. Among these many rules, regulators, commercial carriers, and private carriers around the world often impose limits on the number of hours a particular flight crew may work before requiring a break. As should be apparent, such limitations are designed to prevent crew members from working to the point of burnout (or beyond). [0005] Modern aircraft are designed to travel considerabl...
