  • Patent number: 8365322
    Abstract: The patient room window seat converts between a bench seat and a bed with a simple pull of a handle. In the seat position part of a horizontal upholster cushion is under the backrest so the portion of the cushion in available is the correct width for comfortable seating. Moving the upholstered cushion forward until fully uncovered provides a comfortable bed. A second knob removes a stop allowing the cushion to fully extend and leave the base uncovered in a service position that gives full access for cleaning. The patient room seat is constructed with a commercially available heavy-duty ball bearing slides and a modular multi-position remote latching mechanism. The slides and the latching mechanism working in combination provide an effortless transition between the seat and bed position, allowing elderly or weakened individuals to operate the window seat without problem.

  • Patent number: 6594833
    Abstract: A sofa bed is provided with a backrest and a bed/seating portion supported by a frame. The frame has a back member with inverted “L” slotted posts, the slots receiving pins on connection member's ends that are pivotally connected to the backrest. Manipulation of the backrest causes the pins to rest in a horizontal slot portion, the connection members then causing the backrest top to be spaced from the frame back member into a forward position in which it is oriented to serve as a seat back for an occupant seated on the bed member. Positioning members brace the backrest bottom against the frame. Further manipulation causes the pins to descend into a vertical slot portion allowing the connection members to pivot such that the backrest is in a substantially flush position against the frame back. Lid members and permanent and removable side portions are provided, with attachable cushioned armrests.
