MULTIFUNCTIONAL SOFA
A multifunctional sofa includes a base seat, a back supporting frame and a cushion pad. The base seat includes a frame, a support cloth located inside the frame, and a plurality of resilient members connected between the frame and the support cloth. The back supporting frame is disposed at a side of the frame of the base seat. The cushion pad is disposed on the base seat. At a lifted-up posture, the multifunctional sofa serves as a chair. At a lay-down posture, the multifunctional sofa serves as a bed. When the cushion pad is removed, the multifunctional sofa serves as a trampoline on which the user may practice jumping exercise. In accordance with the user's requirement, the multifunctional sofa can be utilized as a chair for sitting, a bed for lying, or a trampoline for jumping so as to preserve more space for home activities.
The present invention relates generally to a furniture and more particularly, to a multifunctional sofa that can serve as a chair, a bed, a trampoline, etc.
2. Description of the Related ArtConventional large-sized furniture, such as sofa and bed, provides one single function only. However, the living space of modem life at home is quite limited. If one or more large-sized furniture is placed at home, the living space will become narrower. In such a circumstance, it will be difficult for people to set up additional sports equipment at home, or the existing sports equipment at home may not be properly stored due to the problem that no spare space is available. Therefore, if the functions of a variety of large-sized furniture and even sports equipment can be combined in a unity, the living space at home can be more efficiently utilized so as to preserve more space for home activities.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention has been accomplished in view of the above-noted circumstances. It is an objective of the present invention to provide a multifunctional sofa, which can serve as a chair for sitting, a bed for lying, and a trampoline for jumping so as to efficiently utilize the home living space.
To attain the above objective, the present invention provides a multifunctional sofa, which comprises a base seat, a back supporting frame and a cushion pad. The base seat includes a frame, a support cloth located inside the frame, and a plurality of resilient members connected between the frame and the support cloth. The back supporting frame is disposed at a side of the frame of the base seat. The cushion pad is disposed on the base seat.
When the multifunctional sofa is set at a lifted-up posture, the multifunctional sofa serves as a chair for siting. When the multifunctional sofa is set at a lay-down posture, the multifunctional sofa serves as a bed for lying. If the cushion pad is removed, the multifunctional sofa serves as a trampoline on which the user can practice jumping exercise. Under this circumstance, the resilient members provide the support cloth an upward rebounding force to enable the user to jump on the support cloth up and down. As a result, the multifunctional sofa combines the functions of chair, bed and trampoline, such that the home living space can be effectively utilized so as to preserve more space for home activities.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given herein below and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only, and thus are not limitative of the present invention, and wherein:
The structure and technical features of the present invention will be detailedly described hereunder by three embodiments and accompany drawings. As shown in
As shown in
The back supporting frame 30 is pivotally connected with a side of the base seat 20, such that the back supporting frame 30 is swingable relative to the base seat 20 between a lifted-up posture P1 as shown in
The cushion pad 40 can be directly placed on the base seat 20 and the back supporting frame 30, or be detachably mounted to the base seat 20 and the back supporting frame 30 by a detachable fastener, such as a loop-and-hook fastener.
When the multifunctional sofa 10 is set at the lifted-up posture P1, the multifunctional sofa 10 can serve as a chair for user's siting. When the multifunctional sofa 10 is set at the lay-down posture P2, the multifunctional sofa 10 can serve as a bed for user's lying. Further, if the cushion pad 40 is removed as shown in
Based on the technical features of the present invention, various modifications to the multifunctional sofa 10 may be made. For example, the edge strips 241 may be omitted. Further,
The way that the resilient members 26 are connected between the frame 22 and the support cloth 24 is not limited to the ones disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiment, and the shapes and structures of the frame 22 and the support cloth 24 may be modified. Further, the connecting way between the back supporting frame 30 and the base seat 20 is not limited to a pivotally connected way. For example, the back supporting frame 30 may be fixedly mourned to the base seat 20. In this case, the support posts 50 can be omitted and the cushion pad 40 can be placed on the base seat 20 without covering the back supporting frame 30. In another aspect, if short resilient members 26 are used, the support cloth 24 may be arranged to be abutted with the frame 22 without the gap 2. If the resilient members 26 are springs, the resilient members 26 may be arranged on the top or bottom surface of the outer periphery of the support cloth 24. When the user jumps on the support cloth 24, a gap 28 may intermittently occur between the frame 22 and the cloth 24. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.
