  • Publication number: 20100269254
    Abstract: A loft bed includes a framework including head and foot portions, each having front and back upstanding posts. Each front post defines a pin guide channel. A pair of pins is attached to respective end rails of an upper bed frame for receipt in the pin guide channels. Rocker arms are pivotally coupled at lower ends to the head and foot portions and at upper ends to bed frame end rails. The upper bed frame is movable between a sleep configuration to a folded configuration when each the rocker arms are pivotally moved from a rearward configuration in which end rail pins are not received in the pin guide channels to a forward position in which the end rail pins are received therein. Safety doors are movable between closed and open configurations for selectively preventing or allowing receipt of end rails pins in respective guide channels.

  • Patent number: 7774872
    Abstract: A loft bed includes a framework including head and foot portions, each having front and back upstanding posts and connector members therebetween. Each portion includes a connector member defining a roller guide channel, each channel extending substantially between respective upstanding posts of the head and foot portions. Each front upstanding post defines a pin guide channel extending vertically therealong between upper and lower guide channel ends. An upper bed frame includes opposed end rails with opposed side rails extending therebetween. A pair of rollers is attached to the end rails of the upper bed frame and receivable in the roller guide channels. A pair of pins is attached to respective ends of the bed frame for receipt in the pin guide channels. Movement of the roller and pins in the channels enables movement of the bed frame between a sleep configuration and selectable folded out configurations.

  • Publication number: 20100101697
    Abstract: A method for treating textile fabrics is described in which there is applied to a fabric a first treatment composition comprising a fluorochemical textile treating agent. A second treatment composition is applied to one side of the fabric such that a layer of the second treatment composition is formed on that side subsequent to a drying step. A polymeric film is then adhered to the formed layer. The process and the resulting product are characterized in that no formaldehyde of formaldehydic compounds are used in the treatment compositions or the film, and a formaldehyde scavenger is included in at least one of the treatment compositions. The resulting fabric is environmentally friendly and exhibits a high degree of soil and water resistance without sacrificing aesthetic qualities.
