Convertible multifunctional furniture comprising at least one support base, at least one lifting device which is supported on the support base, a usage unit, a horizontal rotational axis in the longitudinal or transverse direction about which the usage unit can be rotated, and a mounting pin at each end of the rotational axis. At least one scissor mechanism is arranged between the lifting devices and each mounting pin of the rotational axis, at least one scissor limb is connected to a drive of the lifting device at one end and to a support at the other end. The other end of the scissor both is connected to a linear element for controlling purposes, said linear element having a surface which can be coupled to a surface of a wheel that is rotatably coupled to a complementary element of the mounting pin.

A patient transport apparatus comprises support structure. The support structure comprises a base, a support frame, and a patient support deck. A headboard and a footboard are coupled to the support structure. The support frame comprises a head section and a body section, the body section coupled to the patient support deck. The patient support deck comprises a patient support surface capable of articulating relative to the support frame. The head section is movable relative to the body section to define first and second configurations of the support frame, the support frame having a first footprint in the first configuration and a second footprint, smaller than the first footprint, in the second configuration.

The present invention relates to an improved furniture system, particularly a sofa and a bed, which is reduced to a minimum volume for transportation. The minimum volume is created to meet the current requirements for e-commerce. A flexible foldable honeycomb structure is used in manufacturing a supporting structure for a seat and a bed frame, wherein the hexagonal shape of said structure is strong and stable and provides a high bearing capacity versus weight. The honeycomb structure is designed to be foldable and used for saving space and to be easier for delivery in a box that fits in a small car, wherein said structure used flaccid materials that are glued to each other in certain way to open and close easily, wherein the number of layers of the flaccid materials determines the expansion length of the structure and these layers together is called a block of honeycomb.

A furniture system is disclosed comprising a guiding bracket (1), a first furniture part (8) and a second furniture part (13). The first furniture part (8) is movable in view of the second furniture part (13) along a sliding direction (SD). The guiding bracket (1) comprises a through-going passage (3) forming part of a guide and having an extension coinciding with the sliding direction (SD), and an attachment protrusion (11) having an extension in a direction transverse the sliding direction (SD). The second furniture part (13) comprises a recess (12) arranged to lockingly receive the attachment protrusion (11) of the guiding bracket (1). The first furniture part (8) comprises a rail (7) arranged to extend through the through-going passage (3) of the guiding bracket (1) and to be slidable along said through-going passage (3) thereby allowing the first furniture part (8) to be movable in view of the second furniture part (13) along the sliding direction (SD). Further a guiding bracket (1) and the use of such guiding bracket in a furniture of the extendable type is disclosed.

A lateral rotation apparatus includes a first frame, a second frame, and a third frame that are independently rotatable. The first frame, the second frame, and the third frame support a person support surface having head, torso, and leg segments. A first pair of legs is positioned below the first frame to rotate a head segment to a head tilt angle in the range of about 7 to about 30 degrees relative to a horizontal support plane. A second pair of legs is positioned below the second frame to rotate a torso segment to a torso tilt angle that is within a range of about 5 degrees to about 10 degrees less than the head tilt angle.

A frame and a selectably attachable platform and a selectably attachable head-foot module where only one of the selectably attachable platform and the selectably attachable head-foot module is combined to the frame at a time.

Disclosed is an electric bed with an adjustable bed length, containing an upper head bed frame, an upper foot bed frame, a lower bed frame, and a plurality of bedboards, wherein at least one of the plurality of bedboards is pivotable relative to the lower bed frame, wherein either of the upper head bed frame and the upper foot bed frame is fixed/immobile relative to the lower bed frame while the other contains a moving component which moves back and forth relative to the lower bed frame between a rest position and an extension position, wherein the at least pivotable bedboard keeps horizontal and the upper head bed frame is away from the upper foot bed frame by Distance 1 when the moving component is located at the rest position, while the at least one pivotable bedboard pivots and there is Distance 2 between the upper head bed frame and the upper fool bed frame when the moving part is located at the extension position, wherein Distance 2 is longer than Distance 1. The bed length is adjusted in the above-mentioned way to overcome the defect in the traditional electric bed where the bed length is shortened after the posture is changed, causing part of the mattress to have no support basis. Further, the electric bed of the present invention, with a simple stricture, is working reliably with an always pleasing appearance and can be conveniently assembled with a low risk of hand stuck.
