Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
262 words
An articulated supporting frame for a cushion, said frame comprising a first portion and a second portion connected together by hinge means, a cushion carried by said frame, said first frame portion normally supported in a generally horizontal position and said second frame portion being swingable from a horizontally supported coextensive position with said first portion to an inclined position, means for securing said second portion in at least one inclined position, said securing means including arm means fixed to said second portion and having one end extending outwardly to a position underlying said first portion when said first and second portions are coextensive, a first member swingably mounted on said first portion in a position remote from said hinge, a second member telescopically connected to said first member and having one end swingably connected to said arm means, said second member including a cam surface having a recess at each end and at least one notch intermediate the ends, latch means swingably carried by said first member with biasing means for causing said latch means to selectively engage said cam surface, and said latch means adapted to engage said notch when said second member is moved in one direction and to bypass said notch when said second member is moved in the opposite direction, whereby said second frame portion can be swung about said hinge means and cause said second member to be extended from said first member carried by said first frame portion and said latch means selectively engages said notch to support said second frame portion in adjusted position.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
262 words
An articulated supporting frame for a cushion, said frame comprising a first portion and a second portion connected together by hinge means, a cushion carried by said frame, said first frame portion normally supported in a generally horizontal position and said second frame portion being swingable from a horizontally supported coextensive position with said first portion to an inclined position, means for securing said second portion in at least one inclined position, said securing means including arm means fixed to said second portion and having one end extending outwardly to a position underlying said first portion when said first and second portions are coextensive, a first member swingably mounted on said first portion in a position remote from said hinge, a second member telescopically connected to said first member and having one end swingably connected to said arm means, said second member including a cam surface having a recess at each end and at least one notch intermediate the ends, latch means swingably carried by said first member with biasing means for causing said latch means to selectively engage said cam surface, and said latch means adapted to engage said notch when said second member is moved in one direction and to bypass said notch when said second member is moved in the opposite direction, whereby said second frame portion can be swung about said hinge means and cause said second member to be extended from said first member carried by said first frame portion and said latch means selectively engages said notch to support said second frame portion in adjusted position.
