One-handed folding bed

Abstract

A one-handed folding bed comprises a bed frame main body enclosed by a peripheral framework, and the main body comprises an upper frame, a lower frame, and intermediate upright poles supporting the upper frame and the lower frame. The upper frame adopts a square frame enclosed by dual longitudinal rods, with each side connected by foldable connectors to connect the four corners. The lower frame is provided with intersecting rods, and a pull-up movable connector is connected between the intersecting rods. The invention employs mechanical connectors for the fastening and unfastening process when folding and unfolding, with a simple structure and a rational design without rope actuation. During operation, the pull strap can be lifted by only one hand to drive the pull-up movable connector for unfastening, completing the folding operation with a smooth unfastening process and convenient one-handed action.
