The present invention is related to a multi-functional bed apparatus with a back support provided to facilitate the operation and usage of the bed apparatus, o offer great conform and convince to users and to advantageously prevent arm muscle pain.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRIOR ARTAs the world population increases rapidly and continuously, the urban civilization advances in a rapid rate with high rise costs in great aspects. Urban population is bound by the limited space available for city developments. Furniture including such as beds, desks, chairs and shelves essential to daily lives too tends to occupy significant spaces that are available in either a city apartment or house. Therefore, there is a need to provide furniture with space-saving designs to improve the utilization of the furniture and their sizes in order to reduce their occupying spaces.
It is known that there are various types of foldable beds introduced to the market, which mostly utilize the design of a foldable mechanism to unfold the bed when needed for bedding and to fold up the bed to a reduced size for storages in such as a cabinet. Nevertheless, due to their conventional design of foldable mechanism, the overall sizes of such known foldable beds after folding are generally too large for storage and still tend to occupy significant spaces. In other words, the folding sizes of conventional foldable beds fail to show a significant reduce in overall size that has a positive impact to the storage. In addition, such conventional foldable beds are of no diverse designs with various functions applicable to different applications for either their extended or folded state of the beds.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention provides a multi-functional bed apparatus with a back support, comprising a waist supporting pad, a head supporting pad moveably attached to a lateral side of the waist supporting pad, a hip supporting pad movable attached to another lateral side of the waist supporting pad away from the head supporting pad and a neck supporting pad attached to one side of the head supporting pad and comprising an arched portion adjacent to a lateral side of the waist supporting pad. To use the bed apparatus of the present invention, one may alter the curvature profile between any one of the head supporting pad, the waist supporting pad, the neck supporting pad, the hip supporting pad and the leg supporting pad such that the shape thereof is configured in accordance with the human ergonomics to be any one of the following forms of an ergonomic bed and an ergonomic chair conforming to a body shape of a user. In addition, as a user lies down on the bed apparatus of the present invention in a recovery position such as lying on either side, the head supporting pad is able to provide support to the head portion of the user body while the arched portion provides a recess for the user arms to rest thereon in natural position. Based on the aforementioned features of the present invention, the problems of being bulky in size occupying large spaces and of limited applicable functions in other fields associated with the known foldable beds can be effectively solved and such that the merits of being diversely adaptive to other applications with simplified operational requirements and convenience as well as of great conform to prevent arm muscle pains can be advantageously achieved by the bed apparatus of the present invention.

In addition, according to the preferred embodiment of the multi-functional bed apparatus with a back support 1 of the present invention, the head supporting pad 11, the waist supporting pad 13, the neck supporting pad 12, the hip supporting pad 15 and the leg supporting pad 16 can be configured to be any one of the following forms of a discretely-formed unit, as shown in
As shown in
Please refer to
In addition to the aforementioned merits and uses, the bed apparatus 1 of the present invention is also applicable to other fields including such as its further use as a bedding mattress, a conventional bed, a floating bed or chair on the water, a camping bed or chair and a car seat cushion. It too can be used as a helpful gear for the military.
As shown in
In view of the above, it can be understood that the bed apparatus of the present invention demonstrates at least the following merits of:
1. The curvature profile of the bed apparatus 1 of the present invention can be altered according to the needs of the user with improved technical effects of enhanced applicability and simplified operations;
2. The arched portions 14 of the bed apparatus 1 of the present invention are able to provide adequate support to the arms of the user to prevent arm muscle pains and to increase the comfort of the bed apparatus.
3. With the sealed opening 17, air-sealing strip 171, outlet 18 and the air-tight bolt 181 being advantageously provided on the bed apparatus 1 of the present invention, the filler 2 to be filled into the bed apparatus 1 of the present invention can be exchanged and replaced with great ease.
4. By allowing the filler 2 to be filled with two different types of fillers, the bed apparatus 1 of the present invention can be greatly utilized in various different applications and fields.
5. By allowing the filler 2 to be extracted or separated from the bed apparatus 1 of the present invention, the storage size and portability of the bed apparatus can be greatly improved.
6. While the bed apparatus 1 of the present invention is configurable to different forms of either a discretely-formed unit or a connected-in-one unit, the bed apparatus 1 of the present invention can be connected in multiple to form a series thereof such that it is of greater applicability and usability in various field applications.
7. By providing seat securement means 3 for the attachment of the bed apparatus 1 to a car seat and for securing users thereon, the bed apparatus 1 of the present invention can be advantageously used as a car seat cushion with facilitated installation and uses with excellent safety measures.
