Abstract: A seating unit such as a chair, daybed, love seat or sofa. The seating unit includes a base adapted to provide a seating surface for a user and a seat back adapted to provide a surface for supporting a back of the user. A flexible joint connects the seat back as a cantilever to the base creating a horizontal pivot adapted for rotating the seat back along its Z-axis between a first stowed position and a second deployed position while substantially preventing movement of the seat back along its X-axis and Y-axis. In one embodiment, the base is a split base comprising a first portion and a second portion foldable for storage and shipping and unfoldable for use.

Abstract: An upholstered furniture system for mounting on a horizontal surface. The system comprises spaced apart vertical arm members, each having an inner surface including back and front portions. Side support members are affixed to the inner surfaces of the arm members for removably supporting a seat support member.Support elements are affixed to the back portions of the inner surfaces of arm members and a back member is interposed between the spaced apart arm members. The back member includes an outer back part having spaced apart vertical outer back part side members supported by the support elements, and a horizontal outer back part top rail extending between the vertical outer back part side members. An inner back part is provided having spaced apart vertical inner back part side members, and a horizontal inner back part top rail extending between the vertical inner back part side members.

Abstract: An upholstered sofa bed for mounting on a substantially horizontal surface comprising a frame member including right and left spaced vertical arm frame sections each having side support members, a back frame section interposed between the right and left frame sections, and a front frame section interposed between the right and left arm frame sections. A platform member is provided which includes a front platform section having at least one support leg retractably attached thereto, and a back platform section.

Abstract: An upholstered chair or sofa capable of being quickly and easily assembled and disassembled which includes first and second spaced arm members, front and back members interposed between the first and second arm members, and a seat member supported by the arm members and the front member without being attached thereto. Attachment structures are provided for connecting the first and second arm members to the back member, the attachment structures serving solely for securing the first and second arm members to the back member without supporting the seat member. In addition, in one embodiment of the invention the attachment structures also secures the first and second arm members to the front member without supporting the weight of the seat member.

Abstract: An upholstered furniture system having removable and interchangeable spring and sleeper units for mounting on a substantially horizontal surface. The system comprises first and second spaced apart substantially vertical arm members, a back member which is removably attached to the arm members and a front member which is in removable contact with the arm members. A seat support member, which may be one of a spring platform and a sleeper mechanism, is removably supported by first and second side support sections affixed to the inner surfaces of the first and second arm members. A cover may be secured to the arm, back and front members by hook and loop fastening strips.
