Claim 8

The combination bed and couch according to claim 4 wherein said fabric cover includes a flap extending from the transition of said foot and end portions, said flap being movable into position toward engagement with the foot end of said bed, the inner surface in said position being covered with a plurality of loop elements, said cover means further including one or more sheets and covers which fit respectively over said body support including at least a portion of the foot end thereof when said cover frame is in said second position, the marginal foot portion of each of said sheets and covers including one or more strips of fabric material having a plurality of resiliently deformable hook shaped elements incorporated therewith, said sheets and covers being positioned over said body support and slightly offset at the foot ends thereof whereby said sheets and covers are removably affixed to said flap by pressing the loop portions of said flap into removable entanglement with the hook shaped elements of said sheets and covers.

Claim 9

A self-making bed and couch comprising, in combination: a support frame; a body support on said support frame; a cover frame pivotally anchored to the head end of said support frame, said cover frame includinG a pair of arms pivotally anchored at one end to said head end of said support frame and pivotal jointly between a raised generally vertical position to a lowered generally horizontal position wherein said arms extend alongside said body support, said arms extending the length of said body support in said lowered position and being interconnected at said other end by a cross member; and cover means removably attached to said cross member, said cover means overlying said body support when said frame is in said lowered position and being loosely suspended vertically from said cross member when said cover frame is in said raised position, said cover means having a fabric cover which overlies said body support when said cover frame is in said lowered position, the foot end of said fabric cover being wrapped around said cross member and removably joined to itself by a first fabric pile material having loop elements on one portion of the foot end, and a second material having a plurality of resiliently deformable hook shaped elements incorporated therewith on a second portion of said fabric cover, said first and second material portions being pressed into removable entanglement with each other.

Claim 10

A self-making bed and couch comprising, in combination: a support frame; a body support on said support frame; a cover frame pivotally anchored to the head end of said support frame, said cover frame includinG a pair of arms pivotally anchored at one end to said head end of said support frame and pivotal jointly between a raised generally vertical position to a lowered generally horizontal position wherein said arms extend alongside said body support, said arms extending the length of said body support in said lowered position and being interconnected at said other end by a cross member; and cover means removably attached to said cross member, said cover means overlying said body support when said frame is in said lowered position and being loosely suspended vertically from said cross member when said cover frame is in said raised position, said cover means having a fabric cover which overlies said body support when said cover frame is in said lowered position, the foot end of said fabric cover being wrapped around said cross member and removably joined to itself by a first fabric pile material having loop elements on one portion of the foot end, and a second material having a plurality of resiliently deformable hook shaped elements incorporated therewith on a second portion of said fabric cover, said first and second material portions being pressed into removable entanglement with each other.

Claim 11

The self-making bed according to claim 8 wherein said cover means includes additional sheets and covers overlying said fabric cover when said cover frame is in said lowered position, each of said sheets and covers including additional and complementary portions of said first and second materials to permit complete removable interconnection of said sheets and covers to the cross member of said frame.

Claim 12

The self-making bed according to claim 9 wherein said fabric cover shields the remaining sheets and covers when said cover frame is in said raised position.

Claim 13
