RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE HOUSING UNITS AND COMPACT FOLDING FURNITURE THEREFOR
A folding furniture assembly can be provided that includes a foldable frame and any combination of an upper bunk, a lower bunk, a stowable chair, and a stowable table. The foldable frame is coupled to a support and includes a front leg configured to brace the foldable frame away from the support when unfolded. The upper bunk is configured to support a sleeper and is pivotably coupled with the front leg and the support. The lower bunk can support a sleeper below the upper bunk and is pivotably coupled with the support and the front leg. The stowable chair and/or the stowable table is/are stowably supported by the assembly, e.g., by the lower bunk. The stowable chair and/or the stowable table has/have a stowed configuration when the foldable frame is in unfolded and can have a deployed configuration when the foldable frame is folded.

Containerized foldout bed
A foldout bed housing with four panels is described. The housing includes a bed tray comprising a first panel, a second panel, a third panel, and a fourth panel, wherein the first and second panels are hingeably coupled and the third and fourth panels are hingeably coupled, and one or more fasteners for rigidly coupling the first and second panels with the third and fourth panels in a planar surface. The housing also includes a first and second side wall, a front panel, a first back panel, a top panel, and a counterbalance mechanism. Each housing component can be shipped in a packed configuration for economic shipping. Upon delivery, the combination can be unpacked for quick and easy installation.
Foldout Bed
A foldout bed is described. The foldout bed has a left side wall, a right side wall, and a top panel that extends between and attached to the top ends of the two side walls. The bottom end of each side wall is coupled with a counterbalance mechanism. A bed tray is pivotally coupled with a the counterbalance mechanisms and is transitionable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The bed tray provides a unitary planar surface that is configured to support a mattress and a person when in the open configuration. Each counterbalance mechanism has a frame and a piston that attaches the frame to the bed tray. The frame has a base flange disposed perpendicular to the side walls and located at the bottommost end of the counterbalance mechanism against a base plate of the wall.
Wall bed with a fireplace and an adjustable workstation
A wall bed is configured to allow a user to maximize a living space with a functional bed that can transform from daytime use to nighttime use. The wall bed is configured to function and serve a plurality of purposes as an entertainment center, a bedroom, or an office and is easily operable between these purposes with simple movements. The wall bed system comprises of a fireplace that has an embedded television which can function both as a television and be used to simulate an active fire via an external source connected to the television. Additionally, the fireplace feature may be removed with ease and transferred to another part of the room. The wall bed also comprises of an adjustable workstation where a height of the workstation may be adjusted to suit a user to work either standing up or sitting down. The wall bed also comprises of a bed and other fixtures such as and not limited to a mirror and an artwork.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVED OPERATION OF MOVEABLE ROBOTIC ELEMENTS
Embodiments of this application describe improved techniques for operating moveable furniture items. The techniques can include configuring a moveable furniture item such that it will not pivot of tip over during normal operating conditions. The techniques can also include certain passive safety features, such as selecting components that experience a fail condition if a certain threshold condition is reached. In some embodiments, the furniture item can be programmed to operate in various modes, desirable in certain circumstances. The techniques described herein can improve both the functionality and the safety of moveable furniture items.

MODULAR WALLS WITH EMBEDDED FURNITURE AND OPPOSING FEATURE
Embedded furniture systems include a furniture assembly having a furniture stowage component and a furniture element extending from and moveably connected to the stowage component. The stowage component has a body with a furniture compartment recessed therein. The furniture element is selectively stowable in the compartment and deployable therefrom on a first side of the assembly. The assembly extends through an opening disposed in a wall component. The surface of the first side of the assembly is aligned with a first side of the wall and the covered portion of the body extends from an opposing second side of the wall. A concealing element is disposed about and substantially covers an exposed portion of the body on an opposing second side of the assembly. The concealing element includes a substantially hollow furniture component such that the covered portion of the body appears to be a piece of furniture.
