Convertible Bed Frame and Convertible Cover

Abstract

A bed frame and cover that is capably joinable to another bed frame and cover and capably disjoinable from another bed frame and cover and of which comprises a mattress supporting plate which is capable of moving vertically within the cover. The cover is a unified structure of walls and a roof with pivotally connected doors that capably form an enclosure around the plate or of which are stowable on the roof. The entire cover is capable of 360 degree bi-directional rotation around the entire plate as well as vertical movement. A capably pivotable mattress attachment is stowable under the plate or extends to form a contiguous mattress surface of which is supported by rods that connect to another bed frame and cover. The bed frame and cover is capable of a multitude of configurations dependent on bed frame, mattress attachment and the cover's optional positioning.

BEST MODES FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

[0099] The bed frame and optional and independent cover, together, converts to a plurality of positions of which some positions are described as follows.

EXAMPLE 1

[0100] As referenced above, the cover can be rotated on its horizontal axis generally up to 360 degrees. In addition, one door may be opened and seated on the top of the roof while the other door remains closed and both doors can be opened and seated on top of the roof and both doors can remain closed. Two single-sized or twin-sized bed frames and covers, rotated 180 degrees such that the roofs are inverted, connected to each other with a mattress attachment between them form a joined bed-pairing with larger mattress area. From this position, the two bed frames and covers can be separated from each other with the mattress attachment lowered providing distance between the bed frames and covers.

EXAMPLE 2

[0101] In a bed pair, when the bed frames are separated and one cover remains inverted, the cover on the other bed frame can be horizontally rotated 90 degrees on its axis with one door completely open. This provides privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for individuals situated on either side of the open door.

EXAMPLE 3

[0102] In a bed-pairing, when the bed frames are separated and one cover remains inverted, the cover on the other bed frame can be horizontally rotated generally 180 degrees on its axis with both doors closed providing privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for individuals situated in each bed-unit.

EXAMPLE 4

[0103] In a bed-pairing, when the bed frames are separated and both covers have been horizontally rotated 180 degrees on their axis with all doors closed this provides complete privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for each individual situated in each bed-unit.

EXAMPLE 5

[0104] In a bed-pairing, when the bed frames are separated from each other with a mattress attachment in the raised position and both covers have been horizontally rotated generally 180 degrees on their axis and the doors furthest from the mattress attachment are closed and the doors closest to the mattress attachment are opened, this provides complete privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for an individual or individuals situated on either side of the generally joined covers and an intimate environment for the individuals within the generally joined covers.

EXAMPLE 6

[0105] In a bed-pairing, when the bed frames are separated and both covers are inverted and two doors on one cover remain closed, this provides a secure enclosure thereby inhibiting an individual situated in that bed from falling out of that bed.

EXAMPLE 7

[0106] In a bed-pairing, when the bed frames are separated from each other with a mattress attachment in the raised position and both covers inverted and one door furthest away from the mattress attachment on one cover remaining closed, this provides a secure enclosure thereby inhibiting an individual situated on that side of the joined bed-pairing from falling out of bed.

EXAMPLE 8

[0107] A bed-unit, when the cover has been horizontally rotated generally 180 degrees on its axis with all doors closed, provides complete privacy and particularly sound and light suppression for an individual or individuals situated within the bed-unit and outside of the bed-unit.

EXAMPLE 9

[0108] A bed-unit, when the cover has been horizontally rotated generally 180 degrees on its axis with one door closed provides a secure enclosure thereby inhibiting an individual situated in that bed from falling out of that bed.

INDUSTRIAL APPLICABILITY

[0109] As described above, the present invention is susceptible of industrial application as it can be manufactured from raw materials and can be used as a device to limit sleep disruption of bed occupants.
