Description

[0001] Bed and method for storing objects

[0002] The invention relates to a bed with a bed frame and a headboard, wherein the headboard has a lower part connected to a head side of the bed frame and an upper part movable relative to the lower part via a drive.

[0003] Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for storing objects in a headboard of a bed, wherein a lower part of the headboard is connected to a head side of a bed frame and an upper part is moved relative to the lower part via a drive.

[0004] Various bed designs are known from the state of the art that can be used for storing items. Beds with storage spaces, such as drawers underneath a mattress or slatted frame, are particularly popular. These drawers can be pulled out from under the bed and fitted with a mattress, providing additional sleeping space. However, drawers are usually used to store items such as cushions, blankets, or bedding.

[0005] In addition, beds are currently being offered which sometimes have generously sized headboards. Such headboards can be hollow and therefore also offer storage space for a wide variety of items. In order to make a hollow space in the headboard accessible for storing items, it is usually equipped with doors which can also be locked. This can make it difficult for unauthorized users to access the items. This is particularly important when it comes to potentially dangerous items and / or when there are other people living in the household, especially children, to whom items should not be accessible. Headboards with pull-out or pivoting drawers are also known, in which items such as books can be stored.

[0006] Accordingly, all these beds with storage options have the disadvantage that they require a lot of space and appropriate locks must be provided to prevent unauthorized users from accessing certain items.

[0007] The present invention is based on the object of providing a device of the type mentioned above which offers a space-saving storage option for objects and at the same time ensures accessibility of the objects of varying difficulty.

[0008] Furthermore, it is an object of the invention to provide a method of the type mentioned at the outset with which objects can be stored in a headboard of a bed with varying degrees of difficulty of access.

[0009] The first object is achieved according to the invention in that the upper part and / or the lower part has at least one first compartment and the upper part has at least one second compartment, which compartments are not accessible in a closed position, wherein the upper part can first be moved via the drive from the closed position into an intermediate position in which the first compartment is accessible, after which the upper part can be moved via the drive from the intermediate position into an open position in which the first compartment and the second compartment are accessible. In the intermediate position, the second compartment is usually still not accessible, but only the first compartment.

[0010] As a result, as long as the upper part is in the closed position, the bed appears like a bed with a conventional headboard without any special function. The upper and lower parts can be designed such that the first compartment is at least partially covered by the upper part in the closed position. By covering the first compartment in this way, it is inaccessible in the closed position. The second compartment is preferably arranged on an inner side of the upper part, so that it is also inaccessible in the closed position.

[0011] This means that unauthorized users, for example in the event of a burglary, will not be aware of valuables stored in the compartments. In addition, the bed gives a particularly tidy appearance, which is particularly popular in modernly furnished apartments or houses. Furthermore, the items stored in the compartments are protected from dirt and dust. When the drive is operated manually or automatically, for example via a remote control, and the upper part is moved into the intermediate position, the user gains access to the first compartment. The upper part is moved relative to the lower part by the drive and the cover of the first compartment is removed, at least in part. However, this does not depend on whether the first compartment is located on the upper or lower part.However, it has been found advantageous if the first compartment is either attached to the lower part, formed integrally with the lower part, or movably mounted on the upper part. Furthermore, several first compartments can be provided, which are accessible in the intermediate position. It would also be conceivable, however, for several first compartments to be accessible via several intermediate positions. Once in the intermediate position, the first compartment is easily accessible to the user, so that items to be stored, such as a book, a tablet, or a mobile phone, can be easily inserted into or removed from it.

[0012] The upper part can then be moved manually or automatically into the open position via the drive, in which the second compartment is accessible. Accordingly, objects can be inserted into or removed from the second compartment, in particular exclusively in the open position. In addition, objects can also be inserted into or removed from the first compartment in the open position. Therefore, the head section is preferably equipped with a two- or three-stage opening mechanism, i.e., the upper part can be moved into one or two intermediate positions by the drive before it reaches the open position.

[0013] In order to move the upper part into the closed position, at least one intermediate position and the open position via the drive, a control panel can be provided on the lower part and / or upper part or the remote control, via which an authorized user is identified by entering a code, a fingerprint sensor or facial recognition, and operation of the drive is released.

[0014] The bed frame typically comprises a frame in which a slatted frame and / or mattress can be arranged. Furthermore, the bed frame can either be placed directly on a surface or have multiple feet for this purpose. The use of feet, usually provided at each corner of the bed frame, offers the advantage that they can also be adjustable, allowing the height of the sleeping surface relative to the surface to be adjusted. Such adjustable feet can also compensate for unevenness in the surface.

[0015] Typically, both the bed frame and headboard are made of wood. However, other materials such as plastic or metal can also be used.

[0016] In addition, the interior of the headboard can be illuminated using lamps, particularly LED lamps, so that the user can easily find and remove the stored items.

[0017] The bed's dimensions can be those of a single bed or a double bed. The bed, including the headboard, preferably has a length of 220 cm to 300 cm and a width of 95 cm to 250 cm. The width of the headboard typically exceeds the width of the bed frame by at least 10%. The height of the headboard in the closed position is typically 100 cm to 150 cm, and in the open position, it is typically 150 cm to 220 cm. The height of the headboard in the intermediate position depends heavily on the design of the headboard, but lies between that in the closed position and that in the open position.

[0018] It has proven useful to arrange the second compartment below and / or behind the first compartment in the closed position. This makes the second compartment particularly difficult to access. If the second compartment is arranged below the first compartment, access to it is prevented by the lower part. This prevents access to the second compartment not only in the closed position, but also in the intermediate position. Accordingly, access to a second compartment arranged in this way is only possible by moving the upper part into the open position. The same applies if the second compartment is arranged behind the first compartment in the closed position. In this case, however, it is not the lower part that prevents access to the second compartment, but the first compartment. For this purpose, the first compartment has a rear wall behind which the second compartment is arranged in the closed position and the intermediate position.Only when the second compartment is in the open position and is no longer covered by the back wall of the first compartment are the items stored therein accessible or can items be placed into it.

[0019] Preferably, the upper part can be moved vertically relative to the lower part via the drive. As a result, the bed has a particularly small floor space requirement. In contrast to conventional beds with storage options for objects, such as drawers, which require additional floor space for opening, the floor space for such a bed remains the same in the closed position, intermediate position and open position. The compartments are accessed by the vertical movement of the upper part relative to the lower part, in particular one after the other. The intermediate position, in which the first compartment is accessible, is reached first, and finally the open position, in which both compartments are accessible, whereby the space requirement of the bed only increases in the vertical direction.

[0020] It has proven useful to provide several drives arranged symmetrically, particularly on opposite sides of the upper part and / or lower part. With drives arranged in this way, the upper part moves particularly evenly, so that even delicate objects can be safely inserted into and removed from the compartments. The lower part usually has at least two side walls and a rear wall, with the rear wall usually being arranged on a wall of a room. The side walls are usually aligned parallel and border on the rear wall. The upper part can have a rear wall and a roof. Accordingly, it is advantageous if two opposing drives are arranged on the side walls of the lower part and the roof of the upper part or the rear walls of the upper part and the lower part. The drives can be attached to both the upper and lower parts.It would also be conceivable for the drive or drives to be attached to only one of the two parts. Furthermore, a single central drive could be located centrally on the rear wall of the upper and / or lower sections.

[0021] It is preferably provided that the drive is arranged on the upper and lower parts and is designed as a lifting drive, in particular with a linear motor. This allows vertical movement of the upper part to be particularly efficient and quiet. The lifting drive is arranged on the upper and lower parts in such a way that the upper part can be moved, preferably exclusively, vertically relative to the lower part. For this purpose, the lifting drive can be designed as a working cylinder, in particular a telescopic one, as a result of which the drive requires particularly little space. A lifting drive designed with a linear motor, which is usually referred to as an electromechanical cylinder and is characterized by a low noise level and particularly long service life, has proven to be particularly advantageous.Alternatively, the lifting drive can also be designed as an electric motor with a corresponding gear, so that the upper and lower parts can be moved relative to each other in a linear translational movement via the gear. It would also be conceivable for the lifting drive to be designed as a pneumatic or hydraulic cylinder. Furthermore, the upper part can be lockable in the closed position, the intermediate position, and / or the open position. Such locking of the upper part can be achieved either positively, for example by a pin or a latch, or by locking the lifting drive. In this way, the upper part can be held in the intermediate or open position for extended periods.

[0022] Although a vertical translational movement is preferred for moving the upper part, it can alternatively be movable into the intermediate position and the open position via a rotational movement or a combined rotational and translational movement.

[0023] The drive can expediently be controlled via a portable device, in particular a smartphone. This makes it particularly easy to move the upper part into one of the different positions. The portable device can be linked to the drive via a wireless connection, in particular infrared, radio, WiFi or Bluetooth. The portable device can also be indirectly connected to and control the drive via the control panel arranged on the upper and / or lower part. If a tablet or smartphone is used as a portable device, control can also be via an app installed on the portable device. Furthermore, a remote control for the control panel can also be regarded as a portable device via which the drive can be controlled. Accordingly, the drive can be controlled via the portable device, just like the control panel, and the upper part can be moved into the closed position, the intermediate position or the open position.While preferably at least three buttons are provided for the at least three positions, a further button can also be provided for continuously adjusting the upper part. This results in a multitude of intermediate positions, which allow the user, when there are multiple first compartments, to move the upper part only to the intermediate position in which the desired first compartment is accessible. Furthermore, identification devices provided on the portable device or in the app, such as codes, fingerprint sensors, or facial recognition, can be used to identify the user. Accordingly, control of the drive, and thus access to the stored items, can be prevented by unauthorized users, even when using the portable device.

[0024] Preferably, the first compartment and the second compartment are movable relative to one another when the upper part changes from the closed position to the intermediate position and / or the open position. This allows objects to be stored more securely in the second compartment and allows the head part to be realized in a particularly small installation space. In particular, the second compartment is movable behind the rear wall of the first compartment, so that in the intermediate position the first compartment is accessible first before the second compartment becomes accessible in the open position. In this way, the first compartment can also be attached to the lower part or formed integrally with it. It would also be conceivable, however, for both compartments to be moved simultaneously when the upper part is moved.

[0025] The first compartment is preferably movable by the second compartment when the upper part changes from the intermediate position to the open position. This is particularly advantageous when the second compartment is arranged below the first compartment and in particular when both compartments are arranged on the upper part. Accordingly, objects can be stored particularly securely in the second compartment, as the second compartment is in a position that is particularly difficult to access. When changing from the intermediate position to the open position, the first compartment is carried along by the second compartment, so that the second compartment can appear from under the first compartment when moving to the open position. Consequently, the second compartment is covered by the lower part until the open position is reached and is therefore inaccessible. A design has proven successful in this case in which the first compartment is mounted on a movable holder on the rear wall of the upper part.This ensures that the position of the first compartment remains unchanged when the upper part is moved from the closed position to the intermediate position, so that only the cover of the first compartment is removed when the upper part is moved. The second compartment is mounted on a fixed mount in the upper part, which rests against the underside of the first compartment in the intermediate position and carries the first compartment with it when moving from the intermediate position to the open position.

[0026] It has proven useful for the lower part to be hollow, at least in some areas, so that at least the second compartment can be accommodated therein. This results in particularly secure storage of objects within the head section, which also requires very little space. The side walls of the lower part can be dimensioned so that the roof of the upper part is flush with them or overlaps them. Consequently, the upper part can be placed on top of the lower part, with areas of the two parts possibly overlapping in some areas. Usually, placing the upper part on the side walls of the lower part defines an end point for the movement of the two parts relative to one another and thus also the closed position.In addition, the upper section, including the second compartment, can be lowered to a maximum of the bottom plate of the lower section, since then at least the second compartment, which is usually attached inside the upper section, for example, to its rear wall, rests on the bottom plate. In any case, at least the second compartment disappears into the cavity of the lower section, so that in the closed position it is positioned well inside the lower section and is neither accessible nor visible from the outside.

[0027] Preferably, a back part of the upper part and / or the lower part adjacent to the head end of the bed frame forms an angle of 90° or more than 90°, in particular 90° to 120°, with a lying surface of the bed. Consequently, the user can easily and comfortably lean against the back part of the upper part and / or lower part while sitting on the bed. Depending on the desired sitting position, the back part can have a shallower or steeper angle to the lying surface of the bed. However, it can also be provided that the back part is movably mounted on the roof of the upper part, whereby the angle to the lying surface of the bed can be adjusted. Typically, a provided angle between the back part and the lying surface of the bed can be increased as needed and then returned to the original angle.For this purpose, a manual adjustment of the backrest is preferably provided, whereby the backrest of the upper part is movably mounted and a support for the backrest can be provided on the lower part, which is adjustable and lockable. Alternatively, the support for the lower part can also be formed by a backrest of the lower part. Furthermore, it would also be conceivable to provide an automatic adjustment, whereby the support can be adjusted and locked via a motor that can be controlled via the control panel or the portable device.

[0028] It is practical if the upper part has a horizontal roof from which the back part extends downwards. This allows objects, particularly decorations, to be placed on the headboard. The roof and back part are usually arranged in such a way that the back part, in the closed position, covers the first compartment, making it inaccessible, and can also be used as a backrest. In addition, the back part, in the intermediate position and / or the open position, can restrict the view of the second compartments in certain areas, so that objects located therein are not visible at first glance. Basically, the roof prevents access to the compartments from above and also prevents dust from getting into the headboard. The horizontal roof also provides a storage area on top for objects, such as decorations.Because the upper section moves smoothly into different positions via the drive, these items do not need to be removed from the horizontal roof before the upper section moves, but can remain on it. Furthermore, the roof can also have additional compartments that are accessible regardless of the position of the upper section.

[0029] Furthermore, the roof and back section can also be pivotally connected via a hinge, with a lock and / or locking device provided to limit the back section's deflection. The above-mentioned properties of the roof and back section are retained even in this design variant.

[0030] Advantageously, the upper and lower sections have back sections which, in the closed position, overlap at least partially. This provides particularly secure coverage of the first compartment and, at the same time, a particularly stable arrangement of the back sections. An overlap of the back sections by just a few millimeters is sufficient for this. The back sections can therefore better absorb the forces generated when a user leans against the bed, allowing several users to sit on the bed at the same time and lean against the back sections. In addition, the overlapping back sections mean that unauthorized users have to make greater effort to access the first compartment in the closed position and remove objects from it.

[0031] The backrest of the upper and / or lower sections is preferably padded. This makes it particularly comfortable for one or more users to lean against the backrest in a sitting position. This type of padding is typically covered with leather or textile.

[0032] The method-related problem is solved according to the invention in that the upper part and / or the lower part has at least one first compartment and the upper part has at least one second compartment. The upper part is first moved from a closed position, in which the compartments are inaccessible, into an intermediate position in order to insert objects into or remove objects from the first compartment, before the upper part is moved into an open position in order to insert objects into or remove objects from the second compartment. A bed designed according to the invention is preferably used for this purpose.

[0033] Such a method results in the advantages explained above, so that objects can be stored particularly easily and safely within the head section. The first compartment can be arranged either at the lower part or in the upper part and, in the closed position, can be covered by the upper part, in particular by its back part. To gain access to the first compartment, the upper part is moved relative to the lower part via the drive and brought from the closed position into the intermediate position. Several first compartments can also be provided, which can then be made accessible to the user via several intermediate positions if necessary. The upper part is moved accordingly so that the area of ​​the upper part covering the first compartment is removed from the latter.This covering area of ​​the upper part is preferably designed as a back part and connected to the roof of the upper part, wherein the back part forms an angle of 90° or more than 90°, in particular 90° to 120°, to the lying surface of the bed. In this way, the user can lean against the back part particularly comfortably in a sitting position in the closed position or the intermediate position. If the upper part is moved from the intermediate position to the open position, both the first compartment and the second compartment are usually accessible to the user. The second compartment can be arranged below and / or behind the first compartment and the compartments can be moved relative to one another so that both compartments are accessible to the user in the open position.Furthermore, the lower part is generally hollow at least in some areas so that compartments arranged on the upper part, in particular the second compartment, can be accommodated in the intermediate position and / or the closed position.

[0034] The upper part is preferably moved relative to the lower part via a vertical translational movement. This allows both the drive and the compartments to be designed particularly simply and objects arranged on the roof of the upper part to be moved safely. This vertical translational movement is usually carried out via the lifting drive, in particular with a linear motor, wherein the upper part is lifted off the lower part and the first compartment is initially made accessible to the user in the intermediate position. If a back part is provided on the upper part, this can be moved away from the first compartment during the vertical translational movement so that it becomes accessible to the user. In addition, a second compartment arranged in the closed position within the lower part can be made accessible to the user by moving the upper part from the intermediate position to the open position.The two compartments can also be moved relative to each other, allowing the second compartment to appear under the first compartment when changing to the open position.

[0035] Preferably, the second compartment is accommodated in the lower part when the upper part is moved into the closed position. This makes the second compartment particularly difficult to access in the closed position. This can be achieved, for example, by a lower part that is at least partially hollow, so that the second compartment arranged on the upper part can be lowered into the closed position when changing from the intermediate position to the closed position. The second compartment is accommodated in the hollow space and, in particular, completely covered by it.

[0036] Further features, advantages, and effects of the invention will become apparent from the embodiments presented below. Reference is made to the drawings, which show:

[0037] Fig. 1 is a plan view of a first embodiment of a bed;

[0038] Fig. 2a to 2d sectional views of the first embodiment of the bed;

[0039] Fig. 3 is a plan view of a second embodiment of a bed; Figs. 4a to 4c are sectional views of the second embodiment of the bed.

[0040] Fig. 1 shows a plan view of a first embodiment of a bed 1, which comprises a bed frame 3 and a headboard 2. It can be seen here that a mattress 4 is arranged within the bed frame 3, which mattress 4 borders on the headboard 2 at one end and has a lying surface L. The lying surface L is defined by an upper side of the mattress 4, which usually forms a flat surface on which a user usually lies or sits. The bed frame 3 usually rests on a base directly or via feet, wherein the feet can also be adjustable in order to be able to set the height of a lying surface L. It can also be seen that the headboard 2 is connected to the bed frame 3 and has an upper part 5 and a lower part 6. In this embodiment, the upper part 5 is formed with a cover and a first back part 8.In addition, the lower part 6 is also designed with a second back part 9, which is overlapped by the first back part 8. These back parts 8, 9 can be used by the user to lean on while sitting, and they can also be provided with padding to allow for more comfortable leaning. In this design variant, both the bed frame 3 and the headboard 2 are largely designed with rounded corners and edges.

[0041] Fig. 2a to 2d show sectional views of the headboard 2 and the adjacent bed frame 3 including mattress 4 with different positions of the upper part 5, wherein Fig. 2a shows a section along the line II-II in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 2a also shows the headboard 2 with the upper part 5 in a closed position. Fig. 2b to 2d show corresponding sectional views of the bed 1 with the upper part 5 in other positions. The structure of the headboard 2 can be seen in detail in the sectional view. Accordingly, it can be seen that the first back part 8 and the second back part 9 are arranged overlapping, wherein the back parts 8, 9 enclose the same angle α with the lying surface L of the bed 1.Furthermore, the first back part 8 can be formed integrally with the roof 7 of the upper part 5, wherein, alternatively, a force-fitting and / or form-fitting connection between the first back part 8 and the roof 7 or a hinge with a locking mechanism between the roof 7 and the first back part 8 can be provided. The first back part 8 and the second back part 9 are usually approximately parallel. With a horizontal design of the roof 7 as shown, this results in an upper angle ß between the first back part 8 and the roof 7, which approximately corresponds to the angle α between the lower back part 9 and the lying surface L.

[0042] This illustration also shows that the upper part 5 has a first rear wall 10, on the inside of which three second compartments 11 are arranged. Alternatively, a single second compartment 11 or several second compartments 11 can be provided. These second compartments 11 can be used for the particularly secure storage of objects. The second compartments 11 are located within a hollow space in the lower part 6, which is delimited by side walls 13, the second rear wall 12, the second back part 9 and a base plate 14. On the outside, the first rear wall 10 of the upper part 5 borders on the inside of a second rear wall 12 of the lower part 6, with the two rear walls 10, 12 being arranged parallel.

[0043] In addition, the lower part 6 has two first compartments 15, which are provided with a third rear wall 16 towards the inside of the head part 2. The first compartments 15 can also be used to store objects, although alternatively, only one first compartment 15 or several first compartments 15 can be provided. This third rear wall 16 covers the second compartments 11 of the upper part 5 in the closed position. The first compartments 15 themselves are covered by the two back parts 8, 9 when the upper part 5 is closed. Accordingly, they are not accessible to the user in the closed position. Furthermore, a drive 17 can be seen in this view, the drive 17 being designed as a lifting drive with a telescopic, electromechanical cylinder with a linear motor, which is attached on the one hand to the lower part 6 and on the other hand to the roof 7 of the upper part 5.The drive 17 is supplied with power via a power connection (not shown) and controlled via a control panel and / or a portable device, such as a tablet, a mobile phone, and a remote control. For this purpose, the user can be identified via the control panel or an app on the portable device using codes, fingerprints, or facial recognition before the drive 17 can be controlled.

[0044] Furthermore, lighting means, such as LED lamps, can be provided in the upper part 5 and / or lower part 6 in order to illuminate an interior of the head part 2 and to make it easier for the user to remove objects.

[0045] In the sectional view of Fig. 2b, the upper part 5 has been moved relative to the lower part 6 via the drive 17 and is now in a first intermediate position. In this first intermediate position, one of the first two compartments 15 is no longer covered by the first back part 8 and is therefore accessible to the user. Consequently, in the first intermediate position, the user can only insert or remove objects from this first compartment 15. Furthermore, a shape of the side wall 13 of the lower part 6 can be seen in this illustration.

[0046] The sectional view of Fig. 2c shows the upper part 5 in a second intermediate position, in which both first compartments 15 are now accessible to the user. If the user is fully familiar with the configuration of the head part 2, they could already insert an object into the uppermost of the second compartments 11 in the second intermediate position. However, usually only the first two compartments 15 are accessible in this second intermediate position.

[0047] Fig. 2d shows a sectional view in which the upper part 5 is moved into an open position via the drive 17. In this open position, not only the two first compartments 15, but also all three second compartments 11 are easily accessible. Accordingly, in this position, all first compartments 15 and second compartments 11 can be filled with objects, so that the upper part 5 can be moved into one of the two intermediate positions or the closed position via the drive 17 for storing the objects. Consequently, the bed 1 of the first embodiment variant is provided with a headboard 2 with a three-stage opening mechanism.

[0048] The top view of Fig. 3 shows a second embodiment of the bed 1, in which the corners or edges of the bed frame 3 and the headboard 2 are not rounded. Furthermore, in the first embodiment, a large number of features are identical or similar to those of the second embodiment, so that the following description of the second embodiment will only address the features that differ from the first embodiment.

[0049] Figs. 4a to 4c show sectional views of bed 1 of the second embodiment, with Fig. 4a showing a section along line IV-IV. The sectional views of Figs. 4b to 4c show bed 1 of the second embodiment, with the upper part 5 of the headboard 2 moved into different positions accordingly.

[0050] As can be seen in the sectional view of Fig. 4a, the headboard 2 of this embodiment also has an upper part 5 with a first back part 8 and a lower part 6 with a second back part 9, but these do not overlap and form an angle a of approximately 90° with the lying surface L of the bed 1. The first back part 8 of the upper part 5 is formed integrally with the roof 7, analogous to the first embodiment.

[0051] In the closed position shown, it can also be seen that both the first two compartments 15 and the second compartment 11 are located on the upper part 5. However, the second compartment 11 is located deep within the hollow interior of the lower part 6, particularly close to the base plate 14, making the items located therein particularly difficult to access. As can be seen, the second rear wall 12 of the lower part 6 extends to the roof 7 of the upper part 5.

[0052] The sectional view of Fig. 4b shows the headboard 2 of the bed 1 in the intermediate position.

[0053] For this purpose, the upper part 5 is displaced relative to the lower part 6 via the drive 17 in a vertical translational movement, so that the first compartments 15, previously covered by the first back part 8, become accessible to the user. The first compartment 15 and the second compartment 11 also move relative to each other, with the second compartment 11 approaching the first compartment 15 from below, but still covered by the lower part 6 and thus remaining inaccessible.

[0054] The sectional view in Fig. 4c shows the open position of the head part 2. In comparison with Fig. 4b, it becomes clear that when the upper part 5 moves from the intermediate position to the open position, the first compartment 15 is carried along in the vertical direction by the second compartment 11. Accordingly, the first compartment 15 is slidably arranged on the first rear wall 10 of the upper part 5. For this purpose, a slidable receptacle can be provided between the first rear wall 10 of the upper part 5 and the third rear wall 16 of the first compartment 15. Accordingly, in the open position, both the first compartment 15 and the second compartment 11 can be used to store objects. Consequently, this embodiment variant provides a two-stage opening mechanism.

[0055] Both the bed 1 of the first embodiment and the bed 1 of the second embodiment allow items to be stored in the headboard 2 of the bed 1. The user can access items stored in the first compartment 15 more easily than items stored in the second compartment 11.
