Foldout Bed

摘要

A foldout bed having two frames is described. Two frames are hingeably coupled with each other at a pivot point, by which the two frames are transitionable between a coplanar configuration and a non-coplanar configuration. Two frames are also coupled by a counterbalance mechanism, which couples one frame to a lower member of the other frame such that the counterbalance mechanism does not extend beyond a front-most surface of the other frame. The foldout bed also has two panels, each of which couples with one of the two frames, respectively. The distance between two panels forms a gap that is sized and dimensioned to allow the two frames to transition between the coplanar and non-coplanar configuration without encumbrance. The gap is covered by a gap cover.

1. A foldable frame assembly for a foldout bed, comprising:
a first frame hingeably coupled with a second frame at a pivot point, wherein the first frame and second frame are transitionable between a coplanar configuration and a non-coplanar configuration; a counterbalance mechanism coupling the first frame to a lower member of the second frame such that the counterbalance mechanism does not extend beyond a front-most surface of the second frame; a first panel coupling with the first frame and a second panel coupling with the second frame; wherein a distance between the first and the second panels comprises a gap, wherein the gap is sufficient to allow the transition to be unencumbered; and a gap cover configured to cover the gap.
