  • Patent number: 9913543
    Abstract: Several embodiments of a new concealable bed system, which comprises a new combination of a folding bed assembly (112), a drawer assembly (110), and a drawer support-and-control assembly (120) are disclosed. The embodiments allow the space-savings and convenience of sleeper sofas to be extended to a wide variety of other furniture types or other constructions, including but not limited to desks, entertainment centers, cabinets, closets, etc. In the closed position, the embodiments can look like any other drawer in a piece of furniture, custom millwork, etc., but when opened the folding bed assembly is exposed and can be easily deployed. Thus the new concealable bed system provides a more efficient, durable, and flexible option for concealing a bed than sleeper sofas, Murphy beds, trundle beds, roll-away beds, or inflatable beds.

  • Patent number: 5482538
    Abstract: A process for removing undesirable constituents from a gas, including providing an immovable, non-combustible woven adsorbate element, passing a flow of the gas through the element so that the gas is sharply deflected in the element and so that the constituents are adsorptively added to the element, interrupting the gas flow when the element reaches a maximum load of adsorbed constituents, directly heating the element while the gas flow is interrupted, by applying an electric voltage, to a process temperature of at 200.degree. C.
