ABSTRACT:
A convertible seating arrangement can be configured either as a seat or as a bed. The arrangement includes a frame which supports a seat member on a track, and a back member on a pair of pivoting arms. The seat member can slide fore and aft on the track, while the back member can rotate through 180.degree. on the arms and be locked in position thereon. With the seat member extended forwardly and the arms oriented upright, the arrangement functions as a conventional seat. The seat member can be retracted, and the back member is rotated through 180.degree. on the arms and locked into its new position before being lowered to lie adjacent to and coplanar with the seat member to define a bed. A pair of the seating arrangements can be located facing one another and spaced apart to define a relatively large sleeping surface.
