ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses an expandable seat and storage unit particularly adapted for use in a boat. The expandable seat has a base unit which defines a storage area. A frame is slidably mounted within the base and can slide with respect to the base to expand the length of the seat to form a bed. The frame is locked into the base by the back cushion of the seat. By removing the back cushion, the frame section can be slid out of the base and then the back cushion can be used along with the seat cushion to form a bed. The frame has side members which extend generally perpendicular from the side edges of the front face of the frame and ride in tracks formed in the base unit. The tracks are along the sides of the base unit and do not interfere with the storage area. Further, the tracks are formed integrally in the base unit to facilitate easy inexpensive manufacture and operation.
