A convertible furniture assembly having a bed frame pivotally coupled to a base assembly. The bed frame is pivotally moveable between a upright position and a lowered position. A computer workstation is further coupled to the base assembly and adapted for supporting and stowing a computer monitor and related computer accessories even when the bed frame is in the lowered position. The convertible furniture assembly eliminates the need to provide a computer workstation separate from a bed assembly.

A convertible furniture assembly having a bed frame pivotally coupled to a frame assembly. The bed frame is pivotally moveable between an upright position and a lowered position. A counterbalance member is coupled to the bed frame and adapted for counterbalancing the bed frame during movement, thereby minimizing the size of a corresponding torsion system. The present invention further includes a hinge assembly capable of providing a spacing distance between the bed frame and a lower platform.

A foot dryer designed to dry the toes and areas between the toes on an individual's foot includes a housing which is designed to accept and support a conventional hair dryer. The housing is a box-like structure which defines an internal cavity. A cradle is located within the cavity and the cradle is designed to accept a number of the conventional hair dryers available on the market. The cradle supports the hair drying in a position where the air flow from the hair dryer is directed through a plurality of apertures in the top panel of the housing. An aperture in one of the side panels of the housing allows for the insertion and removal of the hair dryer into engagement and disengagement with the cradle.

Convertible furniture comprising a bed frame pivotally mounted about a transverse axis between raised and lowered positions. Means is provided for applying a torque on the frame acting opposite to the force of gravity so that the forces are in substantial equilibrium in an intermediate arc of travel. In one embodiment a utility module such as a love seat is mounted with the frame through a parallelogram connection, and a latch mechanism is provided for releasable locking the frame in its horizontal position. In another embodiment a bed frame is pivotally mounted to move into a wall cavity, and a latch mechanism is provided for releasably locking the bed in either its raised or lowered positions.

A convertible furniture frame assembly having a stationary base assembly that supports at least one retractable supporting means. This supporting means is used to support retractable furniture components as they are raised and lowered. The invention further incorporates at least one generally horizontal self standing support means to stabilize the furniture frame assembly and at least one two-bar torsion system that aids users in raising and lowering the furniture components. The user is also aided by a self-energizing latching means that automatically latches the retractable supporting means in its lowered position. The user is further convenienced by a retaining means that prevents loose articles on the furniture components from sliding into the base assembly during retraction.

A convertible furniture frame assembly (8) having a stationary base assembly (12) that supports at least one retractable supporting means (14, 16). This supporting means (14, 16) is used to support retractable furniture components (10a, 10b) as they are raised and lowered. The invention further incorporates at least one generally horizontal self standing support means (18) to stabilize the furniture frame assembly (8) and at least one torsion system (20, 20') that aids users in raising and lowering the furniture components (10a, 10b). The user is also aided by a self-energizing latching means (28) that automatically latches the retractable supporting means (14, 16) in its lowered position. The user is further convenienced by a retaining means that prevents loose articles on the furniture components (10a, 10b) from sliding into the base assembly (12) during retraction.
