ABSTRACT:
A folding bed assembly for use within an article of furniture, such as a desk, having a fixed top wall. A series of bed sections, pivoted to one another in succession, are foldable into a generally rectangular collapsed condition in which the longer dimension of the rectangle is oriented vertically when the folded sections are within the article of furniture. The bed sections are mounted on a wheeled carriage, and a vertical panel hides the bed assembly when it is within the article of furniture. A carriage linkage responds to pivoting of the panel from its vertical orientation to a horizontal orientation for moving the carriage and bed sections out of the article of furniture. A swing-out linkage pivotally supports the collapsed bed sections on the carriage, the swing-out linkage constraining the collapsed bed sections to move between a storage position, in which the collapsed bed sections are close to the carriage, and a swing-out position in which the collapsed bed sections are elevated above the carriage. The swing-out linkage rotates the collapsed bed sections, between the storage and swung out positions, so that the longer dimension of the rectangle moves from a vertical orientation, in the storage position, to a horizontal orientation, in the swing-out position.
