ABSTRACT:
My invention is a convertible sofa bed recliner having an improved connection between the seat frame and the back frame which allows an easy conversion from a seating configuration to a sofa configuration and back to the seating configuration with strengthened support in the connection for the structure in both the seating configuration and the bed configuration. My improved connection includes a slot in the rear portion of the side rail of the seat frame so that the pivot pin connecting the seat frame to the back frame can travel along the slot allowing the seat frame to be radially in relation to the pivot pin. When the seat frame is moved radially, it disengages a dowel from a cam on the top of the side rail. The dowel extends inwardly of the back frame from the inside of the end rails of the back frame. Once the dowel is disengaged from the cam, the seat frame can be rotated about the pivot pin so that the back frame and seat frame are in a horizontal position. The seat frame is then pushed toward the back frame and the dowel engages in the slot on the side rail to give a fixed connection between the seat frame and the back frame in the horizontal position to provide a rigid connection between the two and solid support for the frames in the sofa configuration. To convert the structure from a bed configuration to a seat configuration, the process is simply reversed.
