Abstract 571,521. Convertible seats. PALADINO, A. R. Jan 13, 1944, No. 693. [Class 52 (ii)] A seat convertible into a bed has four pivotally connected sections D, E, F, G, which unfold to form the bed frame, the head section having upturned ends 35 pivoted to the seat frame A. Links 40 are also pivoted on the seat frame at their inner ends and at their outer ends are bifurcated and pivoted respectively to the bed frame sectionE and to links 46 which serve to fold supporting legs 45 pivoted at the juncture of the frame sections E and F. Additional legs 60 support the outer section G and these are automatically folded by links 62 when the bed is converted into a seat. A further linkage 55 opens or closes the upper panel 15 of the front rail of the seat frame. On folding the bed the footrest K is turned down and clamps the end of the overlay J, Fig. 4; the outer section G is turned upwards at right angles to the remaining sections and continued pressure will swing the links 40 and upturned ends 35 of the section D rearwardly, the sections F and G turning about the pivots 27 through a right angle and the folded frame swinging down into the position shown in Fig. 4 in which it can support one or more loose seat cushions L.
