Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0916290A2] A furniture unit composed of two bedsprings (11,15) which, in the folded position, acts as sofa or single bed; by rotating the extra bed (11,47), which, in the folded position, is arranged upside down below the sofa (15,46,54), the lower bed is arranged above the sofa in a bunk-bed configuration. The ladder (60) and the associated barrier are folded up and hinged horizontally to the rear long side of the second bed (11,47) when the second bed is not being used; during conversion into a bunk bed, they rotate together with the bed and are arranged on the outer side thereon. The ladder (60), by rotating about two pivots, is arranged vertically, acting as ladder and as support for the open unit, and the safety barrier of the upper bed rises as the ladder, to which it is articulated, rotates. By performing the operations in reverse, the piece of furniture is converted back into a sofa. <IMAGE>
