AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The twin sleeper provides a reliable, lightweight, and affordable solution for space-efficient conversion between seating and sleeping positions, compatible with various manufacturing processes and suitable for mobile structures, while maintaining structural integrity and ease of use.

Problems solved by technology

Unfortunately, previous designs for a seating structure that converts to a bed (a sleeper), have proven to be unreliable, heavy, and / or expensive to build, often because of an excessive number of unique parts or moving parts, or because the design is not compatible with design elements of other components such as upholstery.

Embodiment Construction

[0024]FIG. 8 illustrates an exemplary slotted bracket 10. Slotted bracket 10 in an embodiment is a longitudinally-extending flanged beam comprising two flanges or walls 6, each with a longitudinally-extending bracket slot or opening 1, a forward end 2, and web 4. At opposite end 18 of slotted bracket 10 (opposite of forward end 2) are disposed clearance holes 5 in each of the flanges 6. In an embodiment, slotted bracket 10 is made from a C-channel or U-channel steel beam, and a portion of web 4 at opposite end 18 proximal to clearance holes5 has been cut-out to increase the pivoting radius of slotted bracket 10 around the axis defined by clearance holes 5.

[0025]FIG. 9 illustrates an exemplary support bracket 9. Support bracket 9 in an embodiment is a longitudinally-extending flanged beam comprising two flanges or walls 13, clearance holes 8 disposed in each of the flanges 13 at the rear end of support bracket 9, web 14 adjoining flanges 13, and a longitudinally-extending internal ca...

Abstract

A chair frame that converts into a bed frame. The chair frame includes a back frame assembly coupled to a rear frame assembly. A sliding coupling connects the back frame assembly to a support bracket in a moveable seat assembly. The sliding coupling includes a slotted bracket which may be flanged. The back frame assembly and rear frame assembly unfold into planar alignment with the seat assembly, whereby cushions on each frame assembly form a bed. A twin sleeper, comprising a twin sleeper frame and a divider interposed between first and second sleeper chair frames.

Description

[0001]This application is a continuation of U.S. Non-Provisional Application Ser. No. 16 / 597,783, filed Oct. 9, 2019, which will issue as U.S. Pat. No. 11,363,892 on Jun. 21, 2022, which application claims the priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 743,452, filed Oct. 9, 2018. Each patent application described above is incorporated here by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Structures such as houses, apartments, and the like are used to provide shelter from the elements. In addition to these immobile structures, mobile structures such as aircraft, ships, boats, and land-based mobile structures, including trucks, vans, busses, mobile homes, and recreational vehicles, have been used to effectively shelter and / or transport people. Many of these structures provide not only shelter but also living quarters.[0003]Space is at a premium in many of these mobile structures. In the past, there have been attempts to more effectively utilize the space inside stru...
