DESCRIPTION

SOFA CONVERTIBLE INTO BED WITH REMOVABLE BACKREST SECTION

This invention relates to a sofa that provides enlargement of sitting section by disassembly of backrest section of upholstered furniture from main skeleton without a mounting procedure and reassembly of the same after being turned 180 degrees.

STATE OF ART Furniture can be divided into different groups based on use functions. Furniture used for sitting purposes by people is termed as sofa, armchair or divan while furniture with sleeping purposes is termed as bed, mattress or bedstead.

Armchairs and sofas that can be converted into beds have been developed over time. Thusly, space requirement resulting from possessing a separate bed for guests and cost of buying a separate bed have been eliminated.

In the state of art, most known kinds of sofas convertible into beds are structures termed as hide-a-bed. An invention titled "Hide-a-bed switch mechanism" numbered 2013/00666 is an example for said hide-a-bed mechanisms.

In the state of art, there are also some armchair-sofa structures apart from hide-a-beds that can be converted into beds. For example, in an invention titled "Novelty in sitting group mechanisms opened extending towards the wall convertible into bed and chest" and numbered 2012/09817, a sitting group mechanism was mentioned in sofas which are formed to be used for sleeping, sitting and functioning as chest enabling interconnection of back resting body and sitting body, and which enables easy opening by means of connection tools used, thereby conversion of the sofa into bed and chest in a single move without using a force even in narrow areas.

In an invention titled "Bed mechanism raising from beneath backrest" and numbered 2015/03437, a bed mechanism was explained which enables switching between seat and bed positions without any need for pulling of armchair/sofa to front, and thanks to ramp rail within its structure, can change position without any needs for excessive force.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

Object of this invention is to enable enlargement and conversion-into-bed of a sofa without the need of any mounting procedure and apparatus thanks to disassemblable/ assemblage backrest structure. Another object of the invention is to enlargement and conversion-into-bed of a sofa by a user without having difficulty or making an effort thanks to simple disassembly/reassembly of its backrest structure.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

The sofa convertible-into-bed with removable backrest of the invention consists of a main body (1) constituting sitting section of the sofa; at least one backrest section (2) that can be assembled/disassembled with/from the main body (1) to be used with two- sides; at least one mounting profile (1.1) present in the main body (1) to enable assembly/disassembly of the backrest section (2) with/from the main body (1); and mounting slots (2.1), present in the backrest section (2) with the same number as the mounting profile (1.1), constituting the section where the mounting profile (1.1) is located. While the sofa convertible-into-bed with removable backrest of the invention is being converted into bed, the backrest section (2) is uplifted and removed from the main body (1). Afterwards, it is turned 180°, and reassembled such that the mounting slots (2.1) correspond to the mounting profiles (1.1). Thusly, the back portion of the backrest section (2) is turned to the front side and two-sided use is enabled.

The mounting profiles (1.1) present in the main body (1) have U-form. Said U-formed mounting profiles (1.1) are positioned in the inner portion of the mounting slots (2.1).

The mounting slots (2.1) are positioned in the lower back portion of the backrest section (2) as shown in Fig. 4. in normal use status of the sofa. Thusly, the backrest section (2) can be uplifted, separated from the main body (1) turned 180° horizontally, and when reassembled, space occupancy caused by wall thickness of the backrest section (2) on the sitting section of the main body (1) is minimized. In other words, space is recovered along the wall thickness from the front portion of the backrest section (2) to the back portion where the mounting slots are present on the sitting section of the main body (1). As no additional mechanism, apparatus, member, etc. is used for conversion-into-bed of the sofa as mentioned and restoring the same, production cost is reduced. On the other hand, thanks to its easy installment and disassemblable structure, usage as bed and transport of the same without making excessive effort are enabled for its user.
