Abstract: A bunk bed apparatus is provided, having at least upper and lower bunks, and which encloses a storage area under the lower bunk when the lower bunk is usable for sleeping, and encloses a larger storage area under the upper bunk when only the upper bunk is usable for sleeping, the lower bunk being moved to form an enclosing wall of the larger storage area. The apparatus can be disposed within a vehicle, such as an RV, adjacent a closable opening to the exterior of the vehicle, which gives full access to both sizes of the storage area. The apparatus can be formed with a slideable end wall which contains a pocket for receiving and storing an access ladder for the upper bunk, and that end wall can form a closable opening for the storage area.

Abstract: An integrated child booster seat, to allow more securely switching of a usual seat and a child seat with a relatively simple configuration, in which a seat cushion is configured by a cushion part in which a seat for a general passenger is formed on one side and a child seat is formed on the reverse side, a coupling pipe which coaxially supports the front and the back of the cushion part and which is swingably held with outside of lateral sides of the cushion part in the center of turning, supporting parts that bind and support the cushion part, and binding release parts that release binding by the supporting parts of the cushion part.

Abstract: An infant care apparatus includes a support frame and an infant resting support rotationally connected with each other, and a first and a second latch. The infant resting support is provided with a first and a second bearing surface oriented in different directions, and has an angular position between a first and a second position, the first bearing surface facing upward in the first position, and the second bearing surface facing upward in the second position. The first latch can lock the infant resting support in the first and second positions. The second latch is switchable from a disengaged to an engaged state to stop the infant resting support in the angular position.

Abstract: A divan includes a seating surface and a backrest. In a first configuration, the backrest is positioned adjacent to the seating surface to support a person's back while the person is seated on the seating surface. In the first configuration, the seating surface is disposed at a first predetermined height above a horizontal plane. In a second configuration, the backrest establishes an upper bunk above the seating surface. In the second configuration, the seating surface establishes a lower bunk beneath the upper bunk. In the second configuration, the seating surface is disposed at a second predetermined height that is lower than the first predetermined height.

Abstract: An arrangement pertaining to aircraft seats (1) includes a seat cushion (2) and a backrest (3), with a number of aircraft seats (1A-D) juxtaposed. The seat cushions (2) of the juxtaposed aircraft seats (1A-D) can be raised or lowered to form a long, generally continuous bed surface, and a further bed section (9) which is normally located beneath the seat cushions or hoisted into the cabin ceiling structure can form a further bed section (9).

Abstract: A system converting seats into couches, characterized in that it comprises—with at least one set of seats (1, 2) comprising at least one base (d) and one backrest (f) connected by a linkage (e) allowing to move said seat into the seating mode, the base and the backrest assuming a first relative angular position or into the couch mode, the base and the backrest then assuming a second relative angular position—a support (3) for said seats, a conversion mechanism driving each linkage of each seat to convert each seat (1, 2) into a couch in such manner that at least two consecutive seats within a column of the set of seats shall be moved from the seating mode one behind the other into the couch mode one above the other.

Abstract: In the so-called `ski-coaches` special chairs are used, the back rests of which can be swung up to form an upper row of bed elements. Mostly, particularly the back rests are of such a special design that in fact the chairs are unusable as normal coach chairs during the entire period outside the skiing season, and it is customary, therefore, to change out the entire seat installation before and after this season. According to the invention the chairs are adapted such that they will be universally usable, i.e. by way of a conventional front side profile and by an upper carrier element mounted inside the back rest, whereby the rear side of the back rest will exhibit no visual sleeping fitting. The carrier element is located spaced underneath the top end of the back rest, whereby the sides of the uppermost portion of the back rest may be designed in an attractive, upwardly converging manner.

Abstract: In the so-called `ski-coaches` special chairs are used, the back rests of which can be swung up to form an upper row of bed elements, while the seat portions are completed with filling-in-elements so as to form a lower row of bed elements. Mostly, particularly the back rests are of such a special design that in fact the chairs are unusable as normal coach chairs during the entire period outside the ski-ing season, and it is customary, therefore, to change out the entire seat installation before and after this season. According to the invention the chairs (4) are adapted such that they will be universally usable, i.e. by way of a conventional front side profilation and by an upper carrier element (12) mounted inside the back rest, whereby the rear side of the back rest will exhibit no visual sleeping fitting.

Abstract: A sofa which is selectively convertible into a double bed or a double bunk consists of a base (10) and a back (11) which constitutes the sofa back, part of the double bed and the upper bunk according to the mode of the sofa. The back (11) and base (10) are connected by a mechanism which includes front posts (5) and rear posts (6,9) which are collapsible and slidable with respect to the base (10). The front posts (5) are slidable with respect to the back (11) to achieve the double bunk mode.

Abstract: Two seats (1a, 1b) are mounted on carrier components (15, 16) in such a way that by means of a swinging movement they can be brought from a seating position one behind the other to a lying position one above the other. Synchronously with the swinging movement in the lying position. The seats are completely stretched out in a horizontal position by means of adjustment mechanisms (54, 60a/b, 61a/b, 63a/b, 64a/b, 65a/b, 67a/b, 68b, 70b). The device is especially suited for use in transportation systems. In another embodiment instead of single seats (1a, 1b) rows with two or more seats next to each other may be provided.

Abstract: A chair, suitable for aircraft or other transport, which is convertible into a berth, comprising in combination(a) a seat base,(b) a back rest, movably mounted on the rear portion of the base so as to be capable of being reclined from the erect, sitting position into a substantially horizontal, stretched berth position,(c) a leg rest, mounted at the front portion of the base, and capable of being moved from an unobstructive position under the base into a substantially horizontal berth position, and(d) a supporting means for retaining and locating the base berth in a sitting position and alternatively in a predetermined berth position;wherein the supporting means is adapted and located so as to permit in use a second, chair to be stretched and moved into a berth position underneath said first chair, whenever the latter is in the elevated berth position with the rests in the stretched state; and in particular to such pair of chairs and rows thereof providing compartmental arrangements.
