Abstract

An articulated sofa bed has a compact profile while folded with the seat cushions residing at a comfortable and ergonomic height and an esthetically pleasing streamlined appearance. The sofa bed includes swinging members for controlling the configuration of the head and middle panel assemblies as the bed deploys or retracts between a folded configuration and a deployed configuration, including (i) a rear-swinging member and a mid-swinging member for pivotally attaching between a head panel assembly and a mounting arm and (ii) a front-swinging member for pivotally attaching between a middle panel assembly and the mounting arm. A locking mechanism is pivotally connected between a head panel assembly and a mid-swinging member and between the head panel assembly and a connecting arm operatively linked to the middle panel assembly to fixably maintain the head panel assembly in a generally horizontal position when the bed is in the deployed configuration.

Description

[0001] cross reference [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Application No. 61 / 712,755, entitled "Articulated Sofa Bed With Improved Locking Mechanism," filed October 11, 2012. The entire content of this provisional application is hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to furniture, and more particularly to foldable articulating sofa beds. Background technique [0004] The sofa bed can be converted between a bed configuration and a sofa configuration. One type of sofa bed has three bed sections with a mattress section integrally formed with each bed section. The mattress portion should have a certain thickness to be comfortable when lying on it as a bed. Collectively, the three sections form the bed when the sofa bed is unfolded. A hinge mechanism is connected to the section to guide its movement between the bed and sofa configurations. Thus, sofa beds are cumbersome relative to their mod...
