ABSTRACT:
A convertible furniture assembly for use on a support surface by one or two humans with backs and buttocks. The assembly includes a framework adapted to rest upon the support surface and first and second sections with proximal and distal end portions disposed on the framework. Hinge assemblies forming a pivot interconnect the proximal end portions so that the first and second sections form buttocks and back supports respectively for the humans. Arm assemblies are mounted on the framework for raising and lowering the distal end portions of the sections independent of each other about the pivot of the hinge assemblies. The sections can be moved from a coplanar and substantially horizontal position resting upon the framework, where they can form at least a part of a bed, to positions at which they are disposed at an angle with respect to each other, where they form at least a part of a lounge. A table is supported by the framework in an elevated position with respect the first section and is movable between a first position overlying the first section and a second out-of-the-way position that is not overlying the first section. The table can serve as a nightstand and a sheet and a slipcover are provided for use when the furniture assembly is converted to a bed. Serving trays and a worktable are provided for converting the furniture assembly to a dining or eating arrangement and to a desk. The furniture assembly includes a reversible central cushion which can be used with other furniture pieces.
