Abstract

See full text

An articulated sofa bed has a compact profile while folded with the seat cushions residing at a comfortable and ergonomic height and an esthetically pleasing streamlined appearance. The sofa bed includes swinging members for controlling the configuration of the head and middle panel assemblies as the bed deploys or retracts between a folded configuration and a deployed configuration, including (i) a rear-swinging member and a mid-swinging member for pivotally attaching between a head panel assembly and a mounting arm and (ii) a front-swinging member for pivotally attaching between a middle panel assembly and the mounting arm. A locking mechanism is pivotally connected between a head panel assembly and a mid-swinging member and between the head panel assembly and a connecting arm operatively linked to the middle panel assembly to fixably maintain the head panel assembly in a generally horizontal position when the bed is in the deployed configuration.
