ABSTRACT:
A cabinet-type bed comprises a cabinet having a pair of sidewalls upon which a bed frame is hingedly received to enable it to swing from an upright position within the cabinet into a position in which the ends form the cabinet. The pivots include a pin extending through the frame and into a housing therewithin, the pin carrying a segment with a curved edge to which a chain is anchored at one end. The chain runs over a pulley fixed in the housing and terminates in a holder attached to the wall of the housing opposite the idler by a first spring. The holder is also engageable by an end of a second spring after a certain travel to tension this second spring when the bed is swung out of the cabinet, the first spring being continuously tensioned by the chain during such swinging movement.
