Abstract: A piece of seating furniture which is able to be converted into a bed is provided with a frame (1) and at least one carriage (2, 3) which is able to be retracted into the frame (1) and withdrawn therefrom. The frame (1) and the carriage(s) (2, 3) have slats (10, 10a, 10b) fastened on one side, running in the withdrawal direction of the carriage(s) (2, 3), as a support for the seat—or lying cushions (23, 24, 25), the slats (10, 10a, 10b) having a distance from each other such that the slats of the carriage(s) (10a, 10b) in the retracted state of the carriage(s) (2, 3) lie between the slats (10) of the frame (1). A cover (26) for such a piece of furniture has a sheet (37) and a soft layer (36) situated therebeneath. The soft layer (36) has an elasticity which is opposed to rolling up, so that the layer (36), after rolling up with the sheet (37), automatically unrolls over the lying surface. An arrangement is thereby achieved which is simple and is convenient to use.

Abstract: The invention relates to a seat which can be converted into a bed wherein the back of the seat (4) can be pivoted onto the same level as the seating surface (2) by means of arms (3), said arms (3) being connected on one end to the seat frame (1) and on the other end to the back of the seat (4). Said seating surface (2) is covered with a removable upholstery fabric (15) when the furniture item is in a seating position. The upholstery fabric is joined to the front under surface of the seat frame (1) on one side and is joined on the other side to the underside of the back of the seat (4). A double positioning drill (17) is arranged underneath the upholstery fabric (15), extending exclusively along the seating surface which is preferably joined to padding, and is connected thereto on the front end of the seating surface (2). As a result, a simple way of placing the drill is obtained.

Abstract: The invention relates to an item of seating and/or reclining furniture that comprises a furniture frame (1) that carries a padded seat or reclining area (5) covered with a furnishing fabric. On the back of said furniture frame a spring-loaded roller (8) is rotatably mounted on which a cover (9) is wound up which is linked with its free end with a bar (10) of the like so that it can be unwound from said roller (8) and laid across the seat of reclining area, thereby making it easy to apply the cover.

Abstract: An article of furniture, such as a table, is convertible between a compact usable state and an extended usable state. A movable support surface (4) is extendable from a frame (21, 22). The movable support surface (4) has at least one leg (8) pivotally attached thereto, the leg (8) being ground engagable when the movable support surface (4) is in the extended state and the leg (8) being located out of sight under the frame (21, 22) and under the movable support surface (4) when the movable support surface (4) is in the compact state. Additional support surfaces may be (1) provided so as to be co-planar with the movable support surface (4) when the furniture is extended.

Abstract: A convertible couch or chair has a stationary frame that stands on the floor and which has an upper support surface with a front and a back, and a guide inclined upwardly toward the front. A movable frame has a pair of front legs which rest in the floor at all times, and a back end which can move along the guide between an out position with this back end supported on the front of the stationary frame and an in position with the back end at the back of the stationary frame. A seat cushion is held on the movable frame and a backrest is secured to the stationary frame by a pair of arms that allow pivoting of this backrest on the arms between a seat position erect at the back of the stationary frame and a bed position in front of the front leg of the stationary frame. A back leg on the backrest stands in the floor in this bed position and a loose cushion that normally rests atop the seat cushion is positioned on the frame in the out positions.
