  • Patent number: 10952538
    Abstract: Disclosed are support assemblies and foldable bed frames. A foldable bed frame includes first and second frames, each having left and right frame bars. A foldable bed frame also includes a support assembly having first and second link units. The first link unit is slidably and rotatably coupled with proximal end portions of the left and right frame bars of the first frame, and the second link unit is slidably and rotatably coupled with proximal end portions of the left and right frame bars of the second frame. The first and second link units are fixedly coupled with each other with a space in between. When folded, the proximal end portions of the left and right frame bars of the first and second frames are disposed in the space between the first and second links, minimizing a length of the foldable bed frame when folded.

  • Patent number: 10413076
    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.

  • Patent number: 10376073
    Abstract: A foldout cabinet bed has two faces that fold out from a vertical position to a horizontal position, thereby creating a surface that can be used for sleeping. Each face has two side rails for enclosing an area for placing a mattress. The rails are dimensionally asymmetrical such that one of the faces has a smaller rail height/depth than the adjacent rail on the other face. The shorter rail height is smaller than the thickness of the mattress, thus allowing a user to comfortably sit on the edge of the mattress. The taller rail height is larger than the thickness of the mattress and provides a headboard.

  • Patent number: 9456698
    Abstract: A foldable bed frame structure with wheels includes two frames and two side leg supports. Each frame includes two longitudinal poles and transverse poles connected between the longitudinal poles. The foldable bed frame structure further includes a middle leg support disposed between the frames for connecting the two frames. The middle leg support includes two U-shaped middle leg pipes, two top connecting poles, two bottom connecting poles, and at least two wheels disposed at the bottoms of the U-shaped middle leg pipes. The inner ends of the longitudinal poles of the frames are pivotally connected with two ends of each of the two top connecting poles of the middle leg support, respectively. The present invention is convenient for folding and moving.

  • Patent number: 8572776
    Abstract: A rolling foldout cabinet bed has two faces that fold out from a vertical to a horizontal position, thereby creating a surface that can be used for sleeping. When the cabinet is closed, a space within the cabinet stores a foldable innerspring, or other mattress. The two faces can be locked together in the folded position. During deployment, an elastic belt or other retainer and hold the folded mattress to one of the faces, and can also pull the mattress out of the interior space within the bottom of the cabinet. The cabinet also has legs for supporting the faces above the ground when in the opened configuration, and can include wheels that facilitate moving the cabinet quickly and easily moved.

  • Patent number: 6851139
    Abstract: A folding cabinet bed is described for providing a piece of furniture that opens to a full-length bed in an attractive chest with a small footprint. The invention comprises a cabinet that houses a mattress, such as a futon, and allows the futon to be deployed as a bed. The cabinet is deep and tall enough to enclose a folded futon and of sufficient width to accommodate standard sizes of futon mattresses, without a separate mattress platform. Hinges on the bottom of the front and back walls of the cabinet enable the cabinet to be opened vertically so that the front and back walls fold down to a sleeping position, without mechanical devices to assist in deploying the bed. The top of the cabinet can become a headboard for the bed in the open configuration. Decorative handles or other protrusions on the front and back walls of the cabinet are sized to extend outward from the cabinet the same distance as the feet/supports of the cabinet to create a level sleeping surface when unfolded.

  • Patent number: 6516479
    Abstract: A rehabilitation bed for obese persons is provided that has a center frame section with first and second ends. A transport assembly is coupled to the center frame section that has at least one pair of transport wheels depending downwardly from the center frame section. A head base frame is pivotally coupled to the one end of the center frame section and a foot base frame is pivotally coupled to the other end of the center frame section. A patient support surface is coupled to the center frame section, the head base frame, and the foot base frame and is adapted to provide support for a mattress for the bed. The bed may thus be unfolded for use by a person with the head base frame, center frame section and the foot base frame located in substantially the same plane. The head base frame and foot base frame may also be pivoted upwardly relative to the center frame section leaving the transport wheels in contact with the ground so that the bed is easily transportable from room to room.
