Abstract:
A convertible furniture unit, comprising:a base; a bed platform pivotally connected to the base for angular displacement about a first axis from an upright stowed position with respect to the base, to a substantially horizontal use position, the platform having an upper surface in the use position that is adapted to support a mattress, and an opposite surface; a table panel having a first end pivotally mounted to the opposite surface of the platform for relative displacement between the platform and the panel about a second axis which is spaced from the first axis so that the panel is in a support position when the platform is in the use position, and the panel is in a working position when the platform is in the stowed position; and a foot pivotally connected to the table panel at a location that is spaced from the first end of the panel, for rotation of the foot between an upper position for propping the panel in its working position, and a lower position, about a third axis which is spaced from the first and second axes, the foot including a foot portion for supporting the panel in the support position when the foot is in the lower position; the foot comprising a leg, an,extension fixed to the leg and extending from the leg substantially perpendicularly, the extension and leg being pivotally connected to the table panel at the third axis, and the foot portion located at affixable spacing from the base, the foot portion being pivotally connected at a fourth axis to the leg, the fourth axis being spaced from the third axis by a distance equal to a spacing between the first and second axes.
