Earthquake-proof bed

Abstract

An earthquake-proof bed that (1) has segmentalized components, (2) is easy to handle, and (3) is easily constituted by simple assembly, using connecting parts such as bolts. The bed includes (1) multiple lower frames that are dividable in the longitudinal direction of a bottom-plate of the earthquake-proof bed, (2) multiple side frames that have support beams and that are connected to a floor frame—which is assembled by connecting the lower frames together—at a desired height above the floor, (3) multiple upper frames that are connected to the top-side beams of the side frames arranged at the ceiling portion of a rectangle that is surrounded by the side frames, (4) multiple cambered roof units that are mounted upon and connected with the upper frames, and (5) multiple floor panels arranged on the floor frames.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to an earthquake-proof bed that (1) has a ceiling (protective overhead canopy) and (2) provides excellent resistance in case of an earthquake, and more particularly relates to an earthquake-proof bed that has a structure intended to secure human lives in an earthquake that occurs during bedtime and is so big that it causes houses to collapse. [0003] 2. Prior Art [0004] Earthquakes repeatedly occur during bedtime, and sometimes people lose their lives because they are buried under houses that collapse due to an earthquake. As a countermeasure against this, this applicant has already proposed several earthquake-proof beds, each of which is the subject of one of the patent-related documents listed below. [0005] Each of these beds has an almost box-shaped structure, including walls and a ceiling, both of which consist of metallic panels and cover the bottom of said bed; in other words, each...

Benefits of technology

[0011] The present invention has been made with the aim of securing human lives at the time of an earthquake; one object of the present invention is to provide an earthquake-proof bed that can be assembled and disassembled, and that is such that (1) its components are segmentalized so that they are easy to handle, and (2) it is devised in such a way that it can be assembled easily and simply, using connecting parts such as bolts and nuts.

[0016] Due to such a constitution of the present invention, each component is made as an individual unit panel. As a result, packaging can be done easily and the size of the package can be made small for transporting / carrying the bed, and this bed can be assembled easily, using connecting parts such as bolts and nuts. Therefore, one advantage of this earthquake-proof bed is that even ordinary people can easily and surely assemble it at whatever place it is to be installed.

Problems solved by technology

Earthquakes repeatedly occur during bedtime, and sometimes people lose their lives because they are buried under houses that collapse due to an earthquake.
