Abstract: An adjustable bed system for recreational vehicles, with independently reconfigurable support platforms that can be quickly adjusted to different elevations or folded and secured into a space saving, stowed position. Each independent platform utilizes a cantilevered design that permits the platform to be self-supporting without the need for any secondary supports above or below the platform. The system includes provisions for quickly attaching and detaching the platforms from a number of available attachment points. Each platform is equipped with a means of self-alignment for ease of operation when moving platforms from one elevation to another. Each platform can be attached across from another platform at the same elevation, staggered at differing elevations, and more than one platform can be used simultaneously in a stacked bunk arrangement.

Abstract: The present invention is a folding bed that is embedded into a filing cabinet. The folding bed comprises of three folding sections pivotably connected to each other to be sized to fit vertically into the compartment of the filing cabinet. The folding bed including a pull-push assembly to pull the folding bed out of the cabinet and a rotation system to rotate the folding bed from a vertical position into a horizontal position and reverse. When the door, which looks like a combination of two drawer doors, is opened, the folded bed is easily slid out of the cabinet and rotated to the right or left direction depending on the position of the cabinet proportional to a wall or other obstruction and opens the foldable bed in a horizontal position and retracts the foldable legs to support the bed on the floor.

Abstract: A folding bed for storage within a cabinet has a flat platform made from a front panel and an inside front panel. Rear extension panels are hingedly attached to the rear face of a drawer such that in the closed cabinet position the rear extension panels are parallel to the rear drawer face and moveable when in the open bed position to be parallel with the side drawer faces. The cabinet sides and the cabinet top have hinges to permit opening up the upper structural section. A method of transforming an apparatus from a cabinet to a bed pulling out a base drawer involves unfolding panels to form a platform out of a front panel, an inside panel and a cabinet floor, unfolding a mattress from within the apparatus onto the platform, and unfolding side panels to reduce visible obstructions.

Abstract: A collapsible and retractable bed structure having design features which permits the bed structure to be folded or collapsed in a manner so as to allow the device to be incorporated into the limited space created between the rafters of a steeply sloping roofline and an interior wall, such as a knee wall, of a home or other building structure. The invention can be used to transform previously unusable or wasted space within a home or other building structure into fully functional living quarters.

Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-functional bed structure which includes a main operational control unit and a bed portion. The main operational control unit includes an elevating mechanism which can be controlled to cause the bed portion to move up and down or forward and backward reciprocatingly in different selected manners. The bed portion may be a roller type or a non-roller type. A roller type bed portion includes a chassis structure below a mattress-supporting bed frame provided with roller rails. A lifting mechanism is mounted on the chassis structure to lift or lower the bed frame by engaging rollers connected to a top of the lifting mechanism with the roller rails on the bed frame. A raising mechanism is mounted below the bed frame to raise different parts of the mattress as needed by the user. The elevating, the lifting, and the raising mechanisms all can be operated in three different control manners, namely, manual, displacement range, and random controls, so that the bed portion may be shifted rhythmically.

Abstract: Reclining radiographic wall table assembly including a wall mounted rack, a wheeled bed table having floor engaging wheels mounted at one end of the table and a rack engaging member at the other for engaging the wall mounted rack, and a control mechanism providing control of the positioning of the table so that it is selectively oriented either horizontally, vertically, or in a semi-reclining position intermediate the first two positions. The table is also provided with an ankle holding attachment mounted on the surface of the table near the rack engaging member for securing a patient onto the table when the table is in an inclined or vertical position, the patient then being inverted while being X-rayed for determining an amount of the scoliotic bend capable of being attributed to the gravitational pull upon the patient were the patient standing in an essentially upright position.
