FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to furniture, and more particularly, to a convertible bed frame and convertible cover.
BACKGROUND The present invention relates to furniture. More specifically, the present invention relates to a convertible bed frame and convertible cover.
Conventionally, bed partners have shared an open-mattress within the same bed. However, bed partners may suffer an unsatisfactory bed experience caused by unwanted noise, unwanted light and undesirable temperature. Some efforts may have been made to enclose the bed unit. However, there are times when one bed partner may disrupt the other bed partner when both partners share the same bed unit. For example, bed-partner disruption may be caused by: snoring, noise from respirator and continuous positive airway pressure devices, electrical bed apparatuses, somniloquy, coughing, reading with a light on, watching television, operating a computing device, tossing and turning, pulling bed covers, and entering and exiting the bed.
It would be advantageous for a bed frame and cover that is capably disjoinable from a like bed unit and joinable to a like bed unit such that the bed unit or combination of bed units transform to a multitude of configurations such that, at the least, the aforementioned problems would be solved.
Some of these configurations could include: the traditional open, contiguous-surface mattress bed, two separate bed units each with open mattress, two separate bed units of which one is an open mattress and the other is a cover-enclosed mattress, two separate bed units each with a cover-enclosed mattress and one unified bed unit with a contiguous-mattress surface wherein the individual covers of the bed frames are configured so as to form a complete enclosure around the single, larger contiguous-surface mattress.
It would be advantageous for a bed frame and cover that is capably disjoinable from a like bed unit and joinable to a like bed unit to comprise of: a bed frame of which is capable of vertical movement; a cover of which is a single, unified structure of which is capable of bi-directional 360 degree rotation around the entire mattress and of which is also capable of vertical movement; a mattress attachment of which avoids interference between the support structures of the covers of the individual bed units and such that the mattress attachment capably pivots into position between the two bed units so as to form a contiguous-mattress surface; rods which support the mattress attachment and capably extend into the other like bed unit so as to join the bed units and doors of which are capably moveable and capably pivotable such that the doors capably form a complete enclosure around the bed unit, are capably stowable upon the cover's roof and in a joined configuration, capably move to create a single, larger enclosure of the joined bed units.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a bed frame and also a cover of which the cover is optional and independent from the bed frame.
In relation to the bed frame, the bed frame, a component of a bed-unit as described in the list of definitions, comprises of a bed frame and a mattress which may be of a plurality of dimensions, not limited to but including and commonly known as a single-sized, twin-sized, double-sized, full-sized, queen-sized or king-sized mattress. A bed-unit comprising of a single-sized, twin-sized, double-sized, full-sized, queen-sized or king-sized mattress may generally convert to a bed-unit with increased mattress area or, for a bed-unit comprising of a double-sized, full-sized, queen-sized or king-sized mattress may generally covert to a bed-unit with decreased mattress area. This is accomplished for bed-units comprising of a single-sized, twin-sized, double-sized, full-sized, queen-sized or king-sized mattress by employing a mattress attachment which is a mattress attached to a mattress plate of the bed-unit which generally swings 90 degrees upwards to increase mattress area, or for bed-units comprising of a double-sized, full-sized, queen-sized or king-sized mattress, may generally swing 90 degrees downwards to decrease mattress area. Additionally, a bed-unit joined to another bed-unit, forming a joined bed-pairing or a bed-unit with the mattress attachment in a raised position joined to another bed-unit, a joined bed-pairing, generally and without limitation, increases mattress area and a bed-unit within a joined bed-pairing that is separated from the other bed-unit generally and without limitation, decreases mattress area. A mattress platform group may generally comprise of a single center beam, two columns, two cylindrical connecting rods, two rod adapters, two receptacles, two receptacle frames, four cross supports, four cross support plates, one mattress plate, and one mattress. Each end of the mattress platform can independently be vertically shifted upwards or downwards. This is accomplished by motors placed beneath each end of the mattress platform which when activated raises or lowers the corresponding end of the mattress platform. To summarize, this enables both ends of the mattress platform to be raised and lowered or one end of the mattress platform to be raised and lowered. A mattress platform may generally comprise of a single center beam, two columns, four cross supports, four cross support plates, one mattress plate, and one mattress. The mattress platform can be rotationally tilted generally up to 360 degrees along its horizontal axis. This is accomplished as the cylindrical rods extend completely through the columns of the mattress platform thereby allowing the mattress platform which rests on the cylindrical rods to rotate generally up to 360 degrees along its horizontal axis. An electrically heated ring encompasses each cylindrical rod which deters arthropoda from traversing each cylindrical rod. Attached to the receptacle above and below the cylindrical rod is provided an electrically operated flood light which deters arthropoda from nearing the lit area and also from traversing each cylindrical rod.
A polychromatic polarized light source, commonly referred to as a light therapy lamp, is attached to the top of a headboard of which the headboard is attached to the top of the column.
An individual is afforded protection from carbon monoxide poisoning as an available oxygen mask and oxygen tank is located within the cover.
In each corner of the mattress plate is a plurality of holes extending in to but not through the mattress plate. A mattress stay comprises of two pegs connected to each other by a flexible material which when inserted in to the holes in each corner of the mattress plate will prevent the mattress from shifting.
A portable table top is attached to a folding frame of which the folding frame is attached to the headboard. The table top is folded in to a seated position at the headboard and is moved to an unfolded, extended and rotated position such that an individual in bed can eat on or work from the table top.
A plastic container with extendible sides such that the width and length of the container is greater than the width and length of the mattress plate is attached to the bottom of the center beam. Fluid that falls from the bed frame and attached apparatus will be collected in the container and flow in to a drain located at the lowest point in the container which then flows in to a drainage system.
A laser projector that displays scenes for entertainment purposes is attached to the headboard.
A television is mounted to a mechanized apparatus of which the mechanized apparatus is attached to the column enabling the television to be raised and lowered.
In relation to the cover, the cover is a rigid structure which can generally enclose the mattress platform and is comprised of one rigid frame, two rigid exterior walls each with an elongated cavity such that it enables the cylindrical rod referenced above to pass completely through the cavity, two cylindrical disks of rigid material each with an elongated cavity through the flat surface of the cylindrical disk such that it enables the cylindrical rod to pass completely through the cavity, two rigid support walls each with an elongated cavity such that it enables the cylindrical rod to pass completely through the cavity, two interior walls each with an elongated cavity such that it enables the cylindrical rod to pass completely through the cavity, sound suppression material between the support walls and the interior walls, two doors each comprising of a rigid exterior wall, a rigid interior wall and sound suppressing material between the rigid exterior wall and rigid interior wall, one roof comprising of a rigid exterior wall, a rigid interior wall and sound suppressing material between the rigid exterior wall and rigid interior wall.
The cover, which is optional and independent from the bed frame, can be shifted upwards, downwards and rotated generally up to 360 degrees on its horizontal axis. Rotation is accomplished by mechanized continuous tracks moving generally horizontally upon which the cover's cylindrical disk engages. The mechanized continuous tracks are mounted on the tops of mechanized lifting devices. Shifting of the cover upwards and downwards is accomplished by the mechanized lifting devices mounted beneath the mechanized continuous tracks.
Sound is inhibited from penetrating the interior of the cover as a consequence of the rigid exterior walls, rigid interior walls and sound suppressing material between the walls. Light is inhibited from penetrating the interior of the cover as a consequence of the rigid exterior and interior walls.
An individual situated inside the cover is afforded protection from carbon monoxide poisoning as a physical barrier exists between that individual and the outside environment.
An individual is afforded protection from carbon monoxide poisoning as an available oxygen mask and oxygen tank is located within the cover.
Two locking mechanisms in each door afford an individual situated within the cover protection against kidnapping and assault. In addition, the locking mechanisms enable the individual to securely store their belongings within the cover.
A fire alarm is attached to the exterior wall of the cover.
A radio receiver is attached to an interior wall within the cover which is on the same frequency as a radio transmitter that is located in proximity to a common fire alarm. This enables an individual situated within the cover to hear a remote fire alarm. In addition, a radio system enables an individual situated within the cover to hear another individual located in a remote location.
A button is attached to the interior wall inside the cover which when activated electronically alerts a monitoring station of an emergency situation.
A monitor is affixed to an apparatus which is attached to the ceiling inside of the cover and can be generally pivotally repositioned. This enables an individual situated within the cover to view a monitor connected to closed circuit television and computing devices.
The cover affords an individual or a plurality of individual's privacy while that individual or those individuals perform private actions.
The exterior of the cover accepts reupholstered or new covering material.
Air conditioning is provided to the inside of the cover through a conduit from an external air conditioning source located outside the cover.
Heat is provided to the inside of the cover through a conduit from an external heat source located outside the cover.
Filtered air is provided to the inside of the cover through a conduit from an external air filtration source located outside the cover.
Air is exhausted through a filtered conduit located in the roof of the cover. In addition, this inhibits second hand smoke from entering the environment outside the cover.
Positive and negative air pressure inside the cover is regulated by valves of air pressure devices located outside the cover and valves of the filtered conduit located in the roof of the cover. Positive and negative air pressure inhibits the transmission of pathogens crossing into or out of the cover. In addition, positive air pressure inhibits flying insects from crossing into the inside of the cover.
Continuous positive air pressure is provided to a continuous positive air pressure head mask inside the cover through a conduit from an external continuous positive air pressure device located outside the cover.
Noise cancelling devices are attached to the interior surfaces inside the cover.
Lights are attached to the interior surfaces inside the cover.
A separation door pivotally hangs from the ceiling of the cover and when pivoted generally downwards to a closed position provides privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for individuals situated on either side of the separation door.
An intercom device is attached to an interior surface inside the cover.
A trapeze hook is attached to an interior surface inside the cover to enable an individual to attach a trapeze or harness to the trapeze hook.
A shower faucet is attached to the ceiling inside the cover and a shower mount with a portable handheld shower attachment is attached to the inside wall of the cover of which both are attached to an external water supply located outside the cover. This enables an individual to shower inside the cover.
Speakers are attached to the interior surfaces inside the cover. This enables an individual to hear sounds inside the cover from the speakers which are connected to external audio devices.
A voice activated recording device is attached to an interior surface inside the cover to enable recording and play back of audio recordings recorded inside the cover.

As referenced above, a mattress attachment is attached to the mattress plate. In the raised position, the mattress attachment connected to a twin bed or single bed may create a double bed, full-size bed, queen-size bed or king-size bed, dependent on the width of the mattress attachment. In the raised position, the mattress attachment connected to a double bed or full-size bed may create a queen-size bed or king-size bed, dependent on the width of the mattress attachment. In the raised position, the mattress attachment connected to a queen-size bed may create a king-size bed, dependent on the width of the mattress attachment. In the raised position, the mattress attachment connected to a twin bed or single bed may generally fill the void between two twin beds or single beds positioned apart from each other thereby creating a king-sized bed.
Fitted sheets of a plurality of widths cover a plurality of mattress attachment sizes.
The bed frame and optional and independent cover, together, converts to a plurality of positions of which some positions are described as follows.
As referenced above, the cover can be rotated on its horizontal axis generally up to 360 degrees. In addition, one door may be opened and seated on the top of the roof while the other door remains closed and both doors can be opened and seated on top of the roof and both doors can remain closed. Two single-sized or twin-sized bed frames and covers, rotated 180 degrees such that the roofs are inverted, connected to each other with a mattress attachment between them form a joined bed-pairing with larger mattress area. From this position, the two bed frames and covers can be separated from each other with the mattress attachment lowered providing distance between the bed frames and covers.
In a bed pair, when the bed frames are separated and one cover remains inverted, the cover on the other bed frame can be horizontally rotated 90 degrees on its axis with one door completely open. This provides privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for individuals situated on either side of the open door.
In a bed-pairing, when the bed frames are separated and one cover remains inverted, the cover on the other bed frame can be horizontally rotated generally 180 degrees on its axis with both doors closed providing privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for individuals situated in each bed-unit.
In a bed-pairing, when the bed frames are separated and both covers have been horizontally rotated 180 degrees on their axis with all doors closed this provides complete privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for each individual situated in each bed-unit.
In a bed-pairing, when the bed frames are separated from each other with a mattress attachment in the raised position and both covers have been horizontally rotated generally 180 degrees on their axis and the doors furthest from the mattress attachment are closed and the doors closest to the mattress attachment are opened, this provides complete privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for an individual or individuals situated on either side of the generally joined covers and an intimate environment for the individuals within the generally joined covers.
In a bed-pairing, when the bed frames are separated and both covers are inverted and two doors on one cover remain closed, this provides a secure enclosure thereby inhibiting an individual situated in that bed from falling out of that bed.
In a bed-pairing, when the bed frames are separated from each other with a mattress attachment in the raised position and both covers inverted and one door furthest away from the mattress attachment on one cover remaining closed, this provides a secure enclosure thereby inhibiting an individual situated on that side of the joined bed-pairing from falling out of bed.
A bed-unit, when the cover has been horizontally rotated generally 180 degrees on its axis with all doors closed, provides complete privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for an individual or individuals situated within the bed-unit and outside of the bed-unit.
