Abstract: A two frame sofa bed recliner has a seat frame and back frame. The frames are elevated from the floor on supports. The frame ends are linked, overlapped, interengaging the seat frame with the back frame, enabling a simple conversion reconversion process from sofa bed to recliner. In recliner position the back frame tilts rearward on its end. The back frame is interlocked with the seat frame locked by a detent, retaining means and a second detent in a guide. Conversion and reconversion are effected by rotating the interlocked unit on to the back frame supports, disengaging the seat frame and back frame, then lowering the seat frame to the floor on the supports and interlocking the frames. For reconversion the process is reversed. A removable arm rest is attachable.
Abstract: A three piece sofa bed recliner has an end frame, seat frame and back frame. The frame ends are linked overlapped. Interengaging the seat frame with the back frame enables a simple conversion process from sofa bed to recliner. The back frame and end frames fold toward each other as the interlocked seat frame is moved backward. The end frame and back frame interlock with the end frame leg and the seat frame and back frame interlock releases during conversion. Reconversion is a simple forward pull unfolding the respective frames on their legs with an extending pivoted leg set between the end frame and back frame. Wheels facilitate movements. The end frame may be used to be a chaise lounge.
Abstract: A sofa bed recliner, particularly adapted for use with a futon as a mattress and seat cushion is adapted to move from a seat to a recliner to a bed without need to rearrange the futon. The back frame does not extend backward when moved. The sofa bed recliner is adapted to function as a full double bed with the seat frame and back frame supported and interlocked. An arm is adapted for the interengagement of the seat frame and back frame to facilitate the returning of the sofa bed recliner to its seat position.
