A couch having a box base a forward foundation support panel and a rear foundation support panel. A first hinge element joins the forward foundation support panel to the box base and a second hinge element joins the rear foundation support panel to the box base. A third hinge element joins a foundation to the forward foundation support panel. A side support panel abuts the box base, the forward foundation support panel and the rear foundation support panel. A first connector assembly having a first tapered pin portion and a first tapered barrel portion joins the forward foundation support panel and the side support panel; and a second connector assembly having a second tapered pin portion and a second tapered barrel portion joins the rear foundation support panel and the side support panel.

A motorized furniture assembly having seat and back support sections moves between sofa and bed positions relative to a stationary frame by activation of two motorized drive assemblies. The motorized drive assemblies move seat support brackets of a seat section forward and backward relative to the stationary frame. Movement of the seat section moves a back support section between horizontal and raised positions. Two linkage assemblies control movement of the motorized furniture assembly between the sofa and bed positions upon actuation of said at least one actuator for activating the motorized drive assemblies.

A seat convertible to a bed. The seat includes a locking mechanism for fixably maintaining a head panel section of the bed in a generally horizontal orientation when the bed is in the deployed configuration and releasing the head panel section from the deployed configuration by a lifting motion. The locking mechanism is connected to the head panel section and a mid-swinging member. The mid-swinging member pivotally attaches to the head panel section and a stationary mounting arm. The stationary mounting arm is fixably attached to a seat frame.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relates to the field of furniture. Provided is a sofa seat stretching device. In the sofa seat stretching device, one end of a second support facing away from a first support, and a second leg rest plate connector are hinged at a fourth hinge point, so that the stretching assembly's stretching speed is reduced in a process of switching from a sitting position state to a lying position state when a driving assembly acts in the same way, and the weightlessness feeling can be effectively avoided. Moreover, the driving assembly drives the stretching assembly so that the process of switching the stretching assembly from the lying position state to the sitting position state is smoother.

A modular bed includes a base frame unit and a plurality of support frame units. Each of the support frame units includes a leading bar, a trailing bar, four mounting frames, four biasing members, a left linkage, and a right linkage. In response to loading or unloading of a retaining member of each of the left and right linkages, a respective one of the biasing members abuts against a top abutment wall or a bottom abutment wall of a respective one of the mounting frames so as to generate a counteracting force to counteract the loading or unloading movement of the retaining member, thereby providing a cushioning effect for the retaining member.

Disclosed herein is a portable bed having particular application for use in an aircraft. The aircraft bed includes a folding frame and a folding mattress to lay on and be supported by the folding frame. The folding frame includes a plurality of upstanding panels that are hingedly coupled side-to-side one another so that the frame can be collapsed from an expanded unfolded configuration at which to support the mattress to a compact folded configuration at which to be suitable for storage. In one embodiment, the folding frame is located between a pair of aircraft seats that face one another, and the mattress extends between the seat portions of the facing seats. In another embodiment, the folding frame is located between an aircraft seat and an upstanding structure (e.g., a wall) of the aircraft, and the mattress extends between the reclined back portion of the aircraft seat and the upstanding structure by way of the folding frame.

A contractible sofa linkage device includes a linkage assembly, a seat frame mount hinged above the linkage assembly, and a leg assembly hinged to a front end of the seat frame mount; an inner side wall of the seat frame mount is provided with a mounting platform, wherein a height of the mounting platform is lower than an upper edge of the seat frame mount, and an angled plane where the mounting platform is positioned is a seat frame mounting surface; the leg assembly includes a footrest link assembly and a footrest member, in which the footrest link assembly is hinged to the seat frame mount, the footrest member includes a footrest plate mounting surface used to mount a footrest plate, and the footrest plate mounting surface is retracted below the seat frame mount when the footrest link assembly drives the footrest member to be retracted to a limit position.

A person support apparatus includes a support surface for supporting a person thereon. The support surface includes at least a seat and a backrest coupled together by a pivot assembly. In some embodiments, the pivot assembly includes a backrest slide bar mounted to the backrest and a seat slide bar mounted to the seat. The backrest and seat slide along their respective slide bars when the backrest pivots. A seat link is coupled to the seat and backrest slide bar, and a backrest link is coupled to the backrest and seat slide bar. The slide bars are coupled at their ends to each other. The pivot assembly creates a virtual pivot axis that, as the backrest pivots from an upright position to a reclined position, moves backward and upwardly. Elongate openings may be defined in the slide bars to support the slide bars on the seat and backrest, respectively.
