  • Patent number: 11419428
    Abstract: A lift-lip bed structure comprising: a fixed frame (2); a pivoting frame (5) capable of supporting bedding, mounted pivoting about a transverse pivot axis (6) such that the pivoting frame can pivot between a horizontal position extending forwards and a rear vertical raised position; and a movable support (23) capable of supporting a seat, mounted movable on the fixed frame (2) such that the movable support (23) can be moved between a high advanced position and a low retracted position in which it is lower than in the high advanced position; the movable support (23), in the advanced position, extending at least partially forward of the pivoting frame (5), in the raised position, and the movable support (23), in the retracted position, extending at least partially below and at a distance from the pivoting frame (5), in the extended position.

  • Patent number: 7823231
    Abstract: A structure for a piece of furniture, such as a retractable bed, includes a fixed part and a pivoting part, the latter having an essentially flat frame and being hinged to the fixed part between an essentially vertical raised position and an essentially horizontal lowered position. The pivoting part includes at least one guide which extends approximately at right angles to the frame and at least one leg mounted on this guide in such a way as to slide, with an actuating device connecting the leg to the fixed part to move the leg between an extended position when the pivoting part is in the lowered position in such a way that its free end is standing on the floor and a withdrawn position when the bed is in its raised position.

  • Patent number: 7631374
    Abstract: A collapsible furniture construction includes a holder with two substantially rectangular mutually spaced parallel side flanges with two lower corners at the front and back, upper corners at the front and back and a substantially rectangular pivotable frame with a rear end portion inserted between the flanges and rotatable thereon between a substantially vertical stowed position and a substantially horizontal extended or forwardly open position, including at least one cross-member substantially perpendicular to the flanges and attached thereto for engaging a wall or the floor. The cross-member includes wall or floor attachment elements; a transverse pivot shaft substantially perpendicular to the flanges and mounted on the frame with the shaft ends pivotably connected to the flanges in an area adjacent to the upper front corners thereof; and a twist-preventing reinforcing crossbar substantially perpendicular to the flanges, rigidly connected thereto and positioned in the area below the pivot shaft.
