摘要

Sofa bed comprises an upholstered seat (3) and a back rest (5) interconnected by side arms (4) so that when the back rest is pivoted the upholstered seat can be used as a lying surface. The upholstered seat inclines toward the back rest in the seat position and can pivot about an axis located a distance away from the hinge (7) of the arms so that when the back rest is pivoted to convert the sofa into a bed the upholstered seat is lifted into a horizontal position. Preferred Features: The back rest is pivoted by the arms into the plane of the upholstered seat. The arms each have a protrusion (8) in the region of the hinge for supporting them on an abutment (9) on the furniture frame (1, 2).
