A vertically-displaceable bed platform suspended from a ceiling having a platform with two forward and two rearward engagement regions, and four pulley members each disposed an equal vertical distance from the engagement regions such that two correspond with the forward regions and two with the rearward regions. Four cables are each connected to one of the engagement regions, with a first pair of cables connected to the forward region about the corresponding forward pulleys and joining the corresponding rearward pulleys, and a second pair of cables connected to the rearward regions about the rearward pulleys to join with the first pair of cables. The joined pairs of cables are attached to a counterweight, such that downward motion of the counterweight causes an equal reduction in the four vertical distances and retraction of the platform in the direction of the ceiling to a fully retracted position. Upward motion of the counterweight lowers the platform to a fully vertically extended position by extending the cables an equal distance. A pair of transverse mounted telescoping brace members traverse the distance from the a respective forward region of engagement to the corresponding rearward pulleys, and a pair of crossed telescoping brace members are attached to the rearward portions of the platform to the corresponding rearward pulley members. |

A free-standing, self-supporting bed has a movable platform supported by a stationary frame. The platform may be elevated vertically to a stored position higher than head height when the bed is not in use. Counterweights allow the platform to be elevated and lowered with a minimum of effort. In the stored position the platform is suspended from the frame by redundant lines passing over pulleys. In the sleeping position the counterweights are suspended from the frame and the platform rests on the frame and may be secured thereto by latching devices operable from one side of the bed. The lines and pulleys are arranged so that the counterweights have a 2:1 mechanical advantage with respect to the platform and so that, during raising or lowering of the platform, forces keeping the ends of the platform horizontal are automatically exerted thereon. |

For cold weather camping a sleeping bag is integrated with a hammock. The bottom side of the hammock is insulated. Padding is placed between the hammock and the occupant of the bag. Waterproof and bug covers are supported on a line above the bag. Inflatable spreaders are used in the hammock. The bag can be supported by side spreader lines attached to posts or to a cot frame. Support lines can be tightened with a turnbuckle. Insulation in the bag and below the hammock can be inflatable tube seaparated by breathable insulation. Insulation is secured to the entire bottom surface of the hammock by adhesion. Gravity hung material of appropriate material can be used in place of traditional insulating material. Appropriate moisture blocks are utilized to prevent moisture from entering the sleeping bag by way of support or other lines. A complete envelopment of the hammock/sleeping bag combination is achieved by an overhead suspended, axially displaceable wrapper openable to provide further protection against moisture and/or insects. |

The lifting device comprises essentially a flat, rigid frame suitable for wall fixing, formed by two longitudinally slotted vertical guide posts connected together at top and bottom by cross-struts. Within each guide post a screw-shaft spindle is set on bearings, and the two spindles can be driven in the same sense of rotation by a common motor. Two nuts placed above each other a certain distance apart run on each screw-shaft spindle and are guided along the slot in their respective post. A cantilever is attached to the pair of nuts in each guide post and projects from the plane of the frame. When a bed or other load is in a raised position, the space below it is left completely free and is freely accessible. |

This invention discloses an elevation bed apparatus which moves up and down while keeping its horizontal posture, in order to improve an effective use of an indoor space. The elevation bed of this invention includes an elevation device and a safety device, and the elevation device includes a winding mechanism and a wire driving system of a wire wound on the winding mechanism. A bed main body moves up and down along a guide rail when the wire is wound and rewound. When the elevation bed is of an electric type, the safety device checks the operation or cuts off the power source to stop the elevating motion of the bed main body. This safety device includes all, or the combination, of a safety device consisting of an elevation management mechanism of the elevation bed disposed on the handrail of the bed main body and the upper surface of the peripheral frame of the bed main body, a slack sensor disposed in a winding path of the wire driving system in order to sense the slack of the wire and to cut off the power source, a descension limit sensor disposed on the lower surface of the bed main body and an ascension limit sensor disposed on the surface of the ceiling above the place of disposition of the bed, and an emergency stop safety means. The present invention includes systems which can correspond to the electric and manual elevation beds, respectively, and modified modes of various safety devices, and can be combined freely. |

RATCLIFF J |
A convertible bed for use in a dwelling of limited floor space, such as a travel trailer, camper or boat. The bed is supported from the ceiling of the dwelling by a series of cables and is movable between an upper storage position adjacent the ceiling to a lower sleeping position. One pair of cables is attached to the rear side edge of the bed, while a second pair of cables are attached to the ends of the bed, but spaced from the front side edge. To raise the bed from the lower sleeping position to the storage position, the front edge of the bed is depressed, causing the bed to pivot about the connection of the end cables to the bed, thereby tilting the rear side edge of the bed upwardly above the level of supports mounted on the walls of the dwelling. With the rear edge of the bed located above the level of the supports, the bed is pushed to the rear and the front edge is elevated to the storage position and locked in the storage position by means of slide bolts.

Suspension means for supporting a bunk bed for translatory movement between a lowered position of use and a raised position on non-use by linkage assemblies respectively at the bed ends, the linkage assemblies providing parallel motion operations so that in one form of the invention the bed remains horizontal and is not tilted, while in another form, through the use of lost motion connections the bed in raised position may be further moved from the usual horizontal raised position to a tilted position to conform with a sloping ceiling. Provision is also made in one embodiment of the invention to shift the bed forwardly and rearwardly in response to the translatory movement so that the path of movement of the bed will be substantially vertical rather than curved. The linkage assemblies are synchronized, and coordinated in their movements by a unique adjustable torsion member.

Structure for supporting a bed for movement between a position of non-use adjacent a ceiling of a room and a position of use adjacent a floor of a room. The structure includes hollow vertical columns extending between and fixed to the floor and ceiling of the room with the columns having outer walls directed away from each other and formed with elongated slots. Within the columns adjacent the slots are guides which communicate with the slots, and a pair of horizontal frame members which are adapted to carry a spring extend horizontally across the outer walls of the columns and carry guide members which extend through the slots into the guides within the columns to be guided thereby for vertical movement. A counterweight is freely movable vertically in one of the columns in the space therein which is not occupied by the guide, and a pair of cables extend from the counterweight upwardly around pulleys at the top of the columns to the opposed frame members which extend across the outer walls of the columns to be connected thereto, so that this one counterweight in one of the columns is connected through the cables to both of the frame members for counterbalancing the weight of the vertically movable bed. In the same way it is possible to connect a second counterweight in the other column through suitable cables over pulleys at the top of the columns to horizontal frame members of a second bed, these latter frame members being guided by the same columns and carrying a second spring which may be situated above or below the first spring.
