Patent number: 6138300Abstract: A futon frame is convertible between a bed position and a sitting position and includes a back portion and a seat portion. The back portion is oriented generally upright when the frame is in the sitting position and is oriented horizontally when the frame is in the bed position. The seat portion is hingedly attached to the back portion to permit relative movement of the back portion with respect to the seat portion. A connector releasably connects the back portion and seat portion to cause the back portion to move on movement of the seat portion in a first direction about a pivot point. A support supports the back portion with respect to a supporting surface and the back portion includes a pair of opposed outer edges.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 1999Date of Patent: October 31, 2000Assignee: Renelle Furniture, Inc.Inventors: Jerry Burch, Dane Jones
