Abstract 724,372. Bed-settees. DOUBE, G. J. Aug. 13, 1953 [Aug. 13, 1952], No. 22389/53. Class 52 (2). A bed-settee is arranged and constructed so that the back rest comprises a unit which is detachably secured to the seat frame to form a settee or a double bed and alternatively to be removed and, with the seat section be used as single beds. The seat frame 12 comprises upstanding ends 12<SP>3</SP> and front 12' to confine the cushion 10 and transverse members 12<SP>6</SP> which project rearwardly and serve as supports for the back rest 13 in settee position. For this purpose the ends of the transverse members 12<SP>6</SP> are provided with a sloping upper surface which is intended to be normal to the slope of the back rest, a projection 12<SP>9</SP> serving as a retainer. The back rest in settee position is held by end stays 15 and by detachable flexible straps 16, the cushion 11 of the back rest extending downwardly behind the cushion 10. To arrange as a double bed the stays 15 and straps 16 are released and the side member 13<SP>2</SP> of the back rest closed up to the side member 12<SP>2</SP> of the seat section in which position, when the back rest is brought to the horizontal position, nibs 19 engage notches 20 and the feet 13<SP>4</SP> are brought into operative position. When the back rest is removed altogether to serve as a single bed, the other feet 13<SP>5</SP> are also lowered.
