Abstract: A spring-balanced wall-type bed is pivotable between a vertical position into a wall recess and a horizontal position out of the wall recess in conjunction with a wall panel attached to the bottom of the bed so as to function as a closure for the wall recess when the bed is swung into the recess in its vertical position. In its horizontal position, the bed has unfolded legs having rollers thereon which bear against the wall panel which rests upon the floor. The bed and panel are maintained in contact by the springs so as to be pivotable together.

Abstract: A plurality of vertical supporting members are upstanding from a base or support to define a parallepiped and adjustably support a plurality of horizontal supporting rods for providing a structure for enclosing an object to be photographed, the structure being adapted to position lighting means, camera means and related means relative to the object. The crossbeams can be removably mounted on said horizontal supporting rods for adjustably supporting lights, reflectors, cameras, objects to be photographed, and other accessories, such as roll curtains and backdrops. An elongated natural daylight source is preferred.
