20100269255 | SOFA BED WITH ROLL OUT BED MECHANISM - A method and sofa for converting the sofa into a bed. A seat back of a sofa bed is pulled and rolled out using roll out wheels concealed underneath the seat back as they glide across a track mechanism (also concealed underneath the seat back) until the roll out wheels lock into place. The back rest is pushed down until the back rest is level with the pulled-out seat bed thereby forming a regular-sized bed. In this manner, a sofa bed may be easily converted from the “sofa” position to the “bed” position while forming a regular-sized bed. | 10-28-2010 |
20110012393 | SOFA WITH SIDE TRAY TABLE - A sofa with a tray table mechanism. A tray table that is configured to fold out is attached to a seat deck of the sofa via a pair of hinges that is placed on a side of the seat deck. The tray table includes a panel for holding small items that is attached to the seat deck via the pair of hinges. The panel is further connected underneath to a u-shaped leg member via a pair of brackets, where the u-shaped leg member is used for supporting the panel. The tray table may be easily closed or opened. In this manner, an individual on the sofa may easily access an item on the tray table without the physical effort involved in obtaining the item by getting off the sofa. | 01-20-2011 |
20110162144 | PROVIDING VARYING DEGREES OF ELEVATION TO MOVEABLE HEAD-REST AND BACK-SUPPORT SECTIONS OF BED FRAME - A bed frame having the functionality of providing varying degrees of elevation to moveable head-rest and back-support sections of the bed frame. Adjustable arms couple a pivotal section of the frame of slats with a front rail panel. The pivotal section of the frame of slats is positioned in the head-rest and back-support sections of the bed frame. Since the pivotal section of the frame of slats is configurable to be tilted, the adjustable arms may be used to tilt the pivotal section of the frame of slats and hence tilt the head-rest and back-support sections of the bed frame to varying degrees of elevation. | 07-07-2011 |
20120042448 | MULTI-LEVEL SOFA HINGE FOR SOFA CONVERTIBLE - A sofa hinge that provides easy conversion of a sofa convertible from one position to another while providing added safety by substantially reducing the risk of an injury to the operator's fingers. The sofa hinge includes a first and a second bracket rotatably connected to the sofa hinge at a bolt. The second bracket includes a semi-circular portion that covers a portion of the lever during the various positions of the sofa. The sofa hinge further includes a cover plate rotatably connected to the sofa hinge at the bolt. The cover plate includes a semi-circular portion and is adjacent to the semi-circular portion of the second bracket. The cover plate covers at least a portion of the semi-circular portion of the second bracket. By having the cover plate conceal the gear mechanism of the sofa hinge, the risk of injury to the operator's fingers is substantially reduced. | 02-23-2012 |
20120297535 | SOFA THAT CONVERTS TO VARIOUS POSITIONS USING CLICK-CLACK MECHANISMS, INCLUDING CHAISE POSITION WITH TWO INDIVIDUAL CHAISES FACING ONE ANOTHER - A sofa configured to be converted into various positions, including a sofa, lounge, bed and chaise position. The sofa includes a seat deck and a backrest. Further, the sofa includes a first type of click-clack mechanisms placed between the seat deck and backrest which are used to convert the sofa to the lounge or bed position. Also, the sofa includes a second type of click-clack mechanisms placed throughout the seat deck and backrest. These are used to convert the sofa to one of two possible chaise positions. In particular, these click-clack mechanisms enable the sides of the seat deck and backrest to be raised to various levels (e.g., 20 degrees, 40 degrees). As a result, opposing sides of the seat deck and backrest can be raised at the appropriate level thereby providing two individual chaises facing one another. | 11-29-2012 |
20150052679 | MULTI-LEVEL SOFA HINGE FOR SOFA CONVERTIBLE - A sofa hinge that provides easy conversion of a sofa convertible from one position to another while providing added safety by substantially reducing the risk of an injury to the operator's fingers. The sofa hinge includes a first and a second bracket rotatably connected to the sofa hinge at a bolt. The second bracket includes a semi-circular portion that covers a portion of the lever during the various positions of the sofa. The sofa hinge further includes a cover plate rotatably connected to the sofa hinge at the bolt. The cover plate includes a semi-circular portion and is adjacent to the semi-circular portion of the second bracket. The cover plate covers at least a portion of the semi-circular portion of the second bracket. By having the cover plate conceal the gear mechanism of the sofa hinge, the risk of injury to the operator's fingers is substantially reduced. | 02-26-2015 |
20150267448 | MULTI-LEVEL SOFA HINGE FOR SOFA CONVERTIBLE - A sofa hinge that provides easy conversion of a sofa convertible from one position to another while providing added safety by substantially reducing the risk of an injury to the operator's fingers. The sofa hinge includes a first and a second bracket rotatably connected to the sofa hinge at a bolt. The sofa hinge further comprises a lever gear mechanism connected to the first bracket via a first lever latch on the first bracket. The lever gear mechanism is connected to the second bracket via a second lever latch on the second bracket. The first bracket has cover plates on both the inside and outside surfaces of the bracket. The second bracket includes a cover plate attached on the outside surface. The second lever latch can larger than the first lever latch and function as an additional cover plate on the inside surface of the sofa hinge. By having the cover plates and second lever latch cover the lever gear mechanism of the sofa hinge on both the outside and inside surfaces of the sofa hinge, the risk of injury to the operator's fingers is substantially reduced. | 09-24-2015 |
