Abstract: A sofa bed includes a plurality of individual cushions supported by a rigid metal frame. The frame includes a plurality of multiply articulated frame members which cooperate to configure the cushions in either of two selected positions. The first defines a sofa configuration and the second defines a bed configuration in which the cushions are coplanar arranged in a horizontal plane. A latching mechanism is provided which produces a positive locking of support position in either of two configuration without the use of retaining springs or overcenter articulated arm combinations.

Abstract: Apparatus for applying fluid coloring material to the sidewall of a vehicle tire and including a stand adapted for placement on a supporting surface adjacent the vehicle tire. A holder including an applicator is mounted to the stand. The holder is vertically adjustable and the applicator is outwardly movable to apply coloring material to the vehicle tire sidewall. The applicator is normally biased into engagement with the sidewall, but a holding element is operative to hold the applicator away from the sidewall in an inoperative position when desired. The stand includes a base having a foot shelf extending inwardly of the base periphery whereby an operator can steady the stand by applying foot pressure to the inner extremity of the foot shelf.
