Abstract: A hinge and armrest assembly is provided with a stationary portion and a reclining portion. The stationary portion is affixed to a seat bottom and the reclining portion is affixed to a seat back. A link is coupled to the fixed portion on one end and a rotating cage on the opposite end. The rotating cage is located and overlays an armrest receiving portion on the reclining portion. An armrest has a pin that extends through the armrest receiving portion and rotating cage. As the reclining portion rotates with respect to the stationary portion, the rotating cage rotates to maintain the angle of the armrest to the fixed portion.

Abstract: A frame member supports a seat and a back and is movable between a horizontal position for supporting a user thereon and a vertical position for stowing the frame against the wall. Linkage secures the frame member to a wall mounting apparatus. The linkage includes oppositely disposed pairs of links that pivot the frame member relative to the wall to define a first distance between the wall and the frame member when the frame is in the vertical position and a second lesser distance between the wall and the frame member when the frame is in the horizontal position thus requiring less space between the frame and the wall. The frame assembly also has a leg pivotally connected to the frame member by linkage such that the leg moves beneath the frame between an upstanding supporting position and a collapsed storage position coincident with movement of the frame.

Abstract: A fold-up seat mountable in mobile living quarters has a sidewall defining a storage space covered by a seat platform. The seat platform can be opened and closed about a hinge apparatus to provide access to the storage area when the seat platform is open and provides a place for sitting when the seat platform is closed.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a seat-bed assembly movable between a seat position and a bed position, and including a seat support, a back support, and a frame having a horizontal support member. A plurality of links, including a first link and a second link, interconnect the seat support and the back support with the frame. The links support the seat support and the back support for movement between the seat position and the bed position. Each of the first link and the second link have one end thereof with an opening therein. The horizontal support member has an upper surface and includes two side plates. An elongated opening extends downwardly from the upper surface. Each side plate has a first guide channel associated with the first link and a second guide channel associated with the second link. A first pin extends through the first link opening and each first guide channel, and a second pin extends through the second link opening and each second guide channel.

Abstract: An improved seat-bed extender assembly for a convertible seat-bed. The assembly includes an attachable platform and corresponding linkage to allow conversion to a full-sized bed in conjunctive relation with a convertible seat and for operation of the platform independently of the seat.
