AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent describes a frame that can be used to turn a traditional bed into a sofa without needing to fold the mattress. The frame can be assembled or made in one piece, and includes armrests that can be easily detached and folded for easy breakdown and storage. The armrests can also have a bracket to attach them to the bed. Overall, the frame makes it easy to turn a bed into a sofa with added comfort and flexibility.

Problems solved by technology

However, the size of the traditional bed tends to occupy much of the available space in a room, for example a bedroom, hotel room, or studio apartment, leaving little room for other furniture such as a sofa.

The sofa bed is a space saving piece of furniture, but due to additional hardware and mattress, it is very heavy and unwieldy to move.

For example, an assembled frame that is not intended to be readily disassembled may include a frame where disassembly results in permanent damage to connectors, to the frame or to a covering material.
