Utilization of common and delicate bunks in confined space

Abstract

Abstract A system for optimum space utilization by means of at least one raisable and lowerable berth, in which the berth 9 or berths 91, 92 can be raised to a storage or day position and lowered to a service or night position by means of a drive member 4 drive-connected to the berth 9 for raising and lowering the latter, the position of the berth being essentially horizontal in the storage as well as the service position. The berth 9 or berths 91, 92 is or are provided with guiding bodies for movable engagement in associated essentially vertical guide rails 12; 95, 96, 97, 98 adapted so as to be fastened adjacent to limiting walls of the compartment in question and/or to form a part of the bearing structure of the compartment. Below the berth(s), there are permanently mounted, pivotable chairs 93, 94 adapted so as to be rotated into and/or put down in a position in which they free the necessary space for lowering the berth to the night position. <IMAGE>
