Removable Bed Frame for Vehicle Storage
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing motor vehicle bedding assemblies face difficulties in easily moving the mobile frame to a storage position due to the weight of the assembly and restricted space, requiring significant force and user intervention to maintain the frame in a raised position.
Innovation Solution
The mobile frame is designed to be completely separated from the support elements, allowing it to be moved to a storage position outside the vehicle, with holding means such as hooks and longitudinal bars facilitating easy detachment and storage, enabling easier movement and disassembly without tools.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the mobile frame is permanently linked to the support elements through articulated mounting, then the frame can be moved between horizontal and vertical positions, but significant force is required to move the frame due to its weight and the user must manually hold and manipulate locking means in the raised position
Solution Approach 1:
The bed base is divided into a fixed frame and a mobile frame that can be completely separated from each other. The mobile frame can be detached from the support elements and removed entirely from the vehicle, eliminating the need to manually hold or manipulate locking mechanisms. This segmentation allows the mobile frame to be easily stored outside the vehicle when not in use.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the mobile frame is permanently linked to the support elements, then the frame can be positioned vertically for storage, but the frame cannot be completely removed from the vehicle compartment
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile frame is designed to be completely extractable from the vehicle compartment. It can be fully detached from the support elements and removed through the rear opening, allowing complete clearance of the compartment. This extraction capability provides maximum storage flexibility while simplifying the linkage system by eliminating permanent connections and locking mechanisms.
3Productivity
If the mobile frame is made movable relative to support elements, then the passage between support elements can be cleared, but the frame requires articulated mounting and locking means that complicate the system
Solution Approach 1:
The bed base is segmented into fixed and mobile frames that can be completely separated. The mobile frame can be easily removed through the rear opening to clear the passage between support elements, eliminating the need for complex articulated mounting and locking mechanisms. This simple separation approach achieves compartment clearance efficiently.
4Ease of operation
If the mobile frame is permanently attached to support elements, then the frame can be moved to vertical position, but the user must simultaneously hold the frame and manipulate holding means in restricted space
Solution Approach 1:
The mobile frame is designed to be completely extractable from the vehicle compartment. It can be fully detached from the support elements and removed through the rear opening, allowing complete clearance of the compartment. This extraction capability provides maximum storage flexibility while simplifying the linkage system by eliminating permanent connections and locking mechanisms.

AI summary
The arrangement has a horizontal spring-mattress with fixed and movable frames (28, 30) mounted on lower support elements (26) e.g. grid-type components. The frame (30) is movable with respect to the frame (28) and to the elements between horizontal utilization and storage positions. The frame (30) is extended in a vertical longitudinal plane in the storage position. The frame (30) is entirely disintegrated from the elements for its displacement between the positions and between the horizontal position and a disassembled storage position, outside a motor vehicle (10) e.g. pickup van.
