Patent number: 7017201Abstract: The present invention relates to a table structure that can be converted into bed or table according to user's needs. Wherein a base frame of the present invention is respectively provided with a bed having two L-shape side frames and a table having two side shelves. The two side shelves of the table are connected to the base frame through spiral arms, by virtue of the pivotal connection between the L-shape side frames and the side shelves, the bed can be positioned respectively in a horizontal manner or in a vertical manner. Through the spiral arms, the table can be lowered down or raised up relative to the bed, such that the device of the present invention can be converted into a bed or a table as desired.Type: GrantFiled: January 15, 2004Date of Patent: March 28, 2006Inventor: Yu-Ting Lin

Patent number: 6976732Abstract: Modular convertible furniture systems include a pair of similar open-ended box frame assemblies which are nestable one within the other. A pair of slotted support rails are attached pivotally at respective opposing corners of one of the box frame assemblies so as to be movable between raised and lowered positions. When in a raised position, the rails provide a support for a solid board plank thereby becoming a seat back (e.g., for a chair, love seat, or sofa-type arrangement). When the rails are in a lowered position substantially parallel to the ground, the two box frame assemblies may be oriented back-to-back so as to provide a support for a mattress thereby converting the structure into a bed arrangement, for example. The box frame assemblies can be positioned on different sides and ends thereby allowing formation of tables and/or shelving as may be desired.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 2004Date of Patent: December 20, 2005Inventors: David L. Thomas, Mark D. Thomas
