ABSTRACT:
A protective bed suitable for protecting an occupant or occupants during major catastrophies resulting in falling debris includes a canopy made of steel mesh which is resistant to penetration by and accumulation of falling debris. The canopy covers the lower section of the bed. The canopy is supported by telescoping tubes with compression springs therein arranged to permit the canopy to remain in a noraml upper or raised position and to drop to a lower position with attendant compression of the spring to convert or absorb the energy of the falling debris, thereby minimizing damage to the bed structure and maximizing the degree of safety to the occupant or occupants of the bed. A padded guard rail extends about the periphery of the bed to prevent ejection of the occupant or occupants during violent movements of the bed, as might occur during an earthquake or tornado. Selected portions of the bed, including the canopy, the telescoping tubes, etc. can be covered with decorative materials, such as fabric, to render the functional protective structure asethetically pleasing.
