ABSTRACT:
A convertible furniture unit includes a tip-up bed (11) whose frame (12) is movable from a horizontal to a vertical position in a wall unit (10) around a torsion bar pivot (20). Connected to the frame (12) is an auxiliary furniture piece (30) such as a table (32) or sofa which is kept horizontal by a parallelogram linkage. As the bed unit (11) is moved from the vertical to horizontal position pivot point (34) attached to the bed frame moves forwardly and downwardly collapsing legs (37,38) with respect to fixed leg (35) and moving legs (37,38) outwardly from its point of connection with pivot connector (50). The table then nests under the bed when the bed is in the "down" position. The pivot connector (50) includes a floor connector (51), a U-shaped post member (57-59) and a hook member (55) which holds the post member on the floor connection. The construction permits adjustment of the table surface (32) above the floor at a particular height when the pivot (34) location is adjusted and permits final levelling of the overall table surface.
