Abstract: An incliner chair has a combined seat and backrest member moveable from a normal occupant sitting position to an occupant inclining position by means of a mechanism attached to a stationary chair frame, by an occupant-operable handle. The handle causes a rotary element connecting identical mechanisms on either side of the chair to actuate linkages that simultaneously thrust out a footrest member and pull down and forward the rear of the seat part with its attached back while thrusting up and forward the front of the seat. A two link control assembly is provided to control and guide the back from moving backward from its normal position to the inclined position and comprise a control link attached intermediate its length to a toggle plate which is itself pivotably connected to the chair frame upwardly and rearwardly of the axis of the rotary element.

Abstract: A sofa bed has a multi-section bed assembly which is partly storable in the sofa back to become the back cushion support for the sofa and is partly storable sandwich-like in the seat cavity of the sofa to be the seat cushion support for the sofa thereby allowing the bottom of the sofa to be reduced in depth, back to front, permitting the structure to be moved through narrow doorways and the like not heretofore possible in convertible furniture.

Abstract: The following specification discloses a chesterfield that is convertible into a double bed without a requirement for changing any part of the chesterfield frame and which has the normal seat depth for sitting comfort. The bed is stored beneath the seat cushions and is foldable inwardly lengthwise of the chesterfield with part of the folded bed storable beneath the back rail or deck of the seat. The bed is folded lengthwise and consists of a pair of clam-shell appearing tube members pivotably attached to a pair of channel members with link fabric for holding a mattress stretched between the tubes and a mid-cross tube. The channels and tubes form a `U` shape when folded down into the bottom of the chesterfield with the opening of the `U` facing the back of the chesterfield. The bed frame is held to the lower side frames of the chesterfield by a bearing bracket through a chain of links connected together in pivotable foldable relation.
