Abstract:
1. An adjustable bed, comprising: a deck assembly; and a base assembly that provides support for the deck assembly, wherein the base assembly includes two leg members coupled to the deck assembly at two contact points along a rotary axis, and a pivot arm coupled at a first end to a pivot arm support on the base assembly and wherein a second end of the pivot arm is slidably received within a track, wherein the base assembly further includes a first actuator having a telescoping arm that is coupled to the pivot arm between the first end and the second end of the pivot arm, wherein the first actuator is adapted to pivot the pivot arm such that the second end of the pivot arm moves with respect to the track and thereby pivots the deck assembly about the rotary axis between an approximately vertical position and an approximately horizontal position, and wherein the base assembly further includes a second actuator adapted to pivot the two leg members when the deck assembly is in the approximately horizontal position.
