BEACH BED

Abstract

The invention relates to a bed comprising a reclining surface dimensionally configured to bear, horizontally, the full length (from the heel to the back of the head) of people lying outstretched at least longitudinally, characterized by a wall rising along at least one section of the edge, of the reclining surface and thus enclosing at least one area of said reclining surface, and a top that can move between at least one first position and one second position each of which provide cover for differently sized areas of the reclining surface.

Claims

1. A bed with a reclining surface which is dimensionally configured to horizontally support human bodies at least lying outstretched entirely lengthwise (from the heel to the back of the head), a wall projecting along at least one section of the edge of the reclining surface and thus surrounding at least one area of the reclining surface, and a hood movable between at least one first position and one second position, each covering different sized areas of the reclining surface.

2. A bed according to claim 1, wherein the hood covers the entire reclining surface in at least one of its positions.

3. A bed according to claim 1, wherein the hood in one of its positions bears substantially against the entire upper edge of the wall and/or projects laterally outwards beyond it.

4. A bed according to claim 1, wherein in one position of the hood, the reclining surface, the wall and the hood substantially completely shield a space above the reclining surface from view, wind and/or rain.

5. A bed according to claim 1, wherein the wall surrounds the entire reclining surface.

6. A bed according to claim 5, wherein the wall has a passage and/or a door.

7. A bed according to claim 1, wherein the entire reclining surface is horizontal.

8. A bed according to claim 1, wherein at least one section of the reclining surface is inclinably adjustable.

9. A bed according to claim 1, wherein the at least one area of the wall is formed as a backrest and/or headrest.

10. A bed according to claim 1, wherein a backrest and/or headrest element is adjustable on the reclining surface or in latching brackets and/or is able to be suspended inclinably adjustable via the upper edge of the wall or in latching brackets.

Description

[0023] Further advantages, embodiments and details of the invention are described below in the description of embodiment examples with reference to the attached figures:

[0024] FIG. 1 shows a spatial view of three beds according to the invention.

[0025] The FIGURE shows three beds 2 with a reclining surface 4 which is dimensionally configured to horizontally support two human bodies 6 lying outstretched next to one another entirely lengthwise (from the heel to the back of the head).

[0026] The beds 2 each have a wall 8, which protrudes along the edge of the reclining surface 4 and thus surrounds the entire reclining surface.

[0027] The beds also have a hood 10 which is movable between at least one first position (shown) and one second position (not shown), each of which covers different areas of the reclining surface.

[0028] The beds are each a structural unit of the reclining surface 4, the wall 8 and the hood 10. A framework construction (not shown) carries the reclining surface 4 which is formed as an upholstery surface. The wall 8 is fixedly connected to the framework construction beneath the reclining surface and the hood 10 is firmly secured (yet movable according to the invention) to the wall.

[0029] The hood of the two beds 2 shown on the right covers the entire reclining surface in its shown position. In particular, these beds can protect people on their reclining surface 4 from wind, sun, rain and views from all directions, since in this position the hood rests against the entire upper edge 12 of the wall (or projects laterally outwards beyond it at the foot edge 14) and since the wall 8 furthermore surrounds the entire reclining surface 4.

[0030] Thus, it is possible according to the invention to lie on the reclining surface 4 to be protected by the surrounding wall 8 from wind from all sides (and also from views from some distance). And for the two beds 4 on the right of the FIGURE, it is further possible to position the hood such that it protects the entire reclining surface when it is raining, as well as when the sun is too strongor even from views from close proximity. In other positions (not shown) of the hood 10 which is designed as a pram hood, it can be completely folded to the side, i.e. it cannot cover the reclining surface at allor in another position (as in the case of the bed 2 on the left in the FIGURE) it leaves a visible area 16 between the edge 18 of the hood 10 and the upper edge 12 of the wall 4and thus covers the reclining surface 4 only partially in the area of the heads of the persons 6 on the reclining surface 4 in order to shade them.

[0031] The hood 10 can therefore be adjusted, i.e. folded.

[0032] Advantageously, the reclining surface 4 downwards, the wall 8 towards all sides, and the hood 10 in the shown position of the right beds upwards shield together the entire space above the reclining surface from view, wind and/or rain, and surround it completely.

[0033] Both the hood 10 and the wall 4 each have at least one window 20.

[0034] The wall 8 in the foot area of the reclining surface 4 of the bed 2 on the left in the FIGURE has a passage 22 in its center (i.e. a narrow interruption 22).

[0035] The wall 8 is different in height in different sections of the edge of the reclining surface 4, with the greatest height at the edge 24 of the area of the reclining surface which is configured for the head of people lying on it. The upper edge of the wall 8 spans an imaginary plane which is inclined to the horizontal and thereby inclined downwards from the edge 24 above the head area of the reclining surface 4 in the direction of the foot area of the reclining surface.

[0036] The entire reclining surface 4 is horizontal. A reclining seat position can also be assumed by the persons 6 in the bed 2 according to the invention, a backrest and headrest element 26 is supported against the wall in the form of a large cushion.

[0037] The wall 8 is made of wickerwork in the manner of a hooded beach chair. This has proved to be aesthetically pleasing and weatherproof. The reclining surface is upholstered with striped artificial leather covering.

[0038] For moving with physical strength, as with known hooded beach chairs, the bed 2 has a pair of parallel runners 28 for easier moving, for example, on sand or a meadow, and a pull rope loop on the wall 8 in the foot area for better grabbing and pulling.
