Abstract

A folding bed chest device includes a chest and a sleeping platform. The chest is configured to store a foldable mattress and the sleeping platform when the folding bed chest device is in a folded position. The sleeping platform is configured to support a weight of the foldable mattress when the folding bed chest device is in an unfolded position.

Claims (34)

1. A chest configured to transition between an open position and a closed position, the chest comprising:

a front panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, a top panel, and a bottom section, the front panel including a first section and a second section hingably connected together, the first side panel including a first sub-side panel and a second sub-side panel, the second side panel including a third sub-side panel and a fourth sub-side panel, the top panel including a first sub-top panel and a second sub-top panel, the first sub-top panel connected to the second section of the front panel, and the second section of the front panel being connected to the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel such that the second section of the front panel, the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel move together when the chest transitions between the open position and the closed position, wherein

in the closed position, the first section of the front panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, the top panel, and the bottom section are configured to form an enclosure with the second section of the front panel and a foldable mattress hidden therein, and

in the open position, the chest is configured to form a sleeping platform by twice unfolding the second section of the front panel such that the first sub-top panel, the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel are oriented vertically from the sleeping platform towards a ground.

2. The chest of claim 1 , wherein

the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel each include legs connected thereto, and

in the open position, the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel are oriented vertically from the sleeping platform towards the ground in support of the sleeping platform.

3. The chest of claim 1 , wherein

the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel each include legs connected thereto, and

in the open position, the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel are oriented vertically from the sleeping platform towards the ground such that the legs at least assist in supporting the sleeping platform.

4. The chest of claim 3 , wherein the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel each include a facade and the legs attached thereto such that, in the open position, the legs extend downward beyond the facade and contact the ground.

5. A folding bed chest device comprising:

a chest including a front panel, a first side panel, a second side panel, a top panel, and a bottom section, the front panel including a first section and a second section hingably connected together, the first side panel including a first sub-side panel and a second sub-side panel, the second side panel including a third sub-side panel and a fourth sub-side panel, the top panel including a first sub-top panel and a second sub-top panel, the first sub-top panel connected to the second section of the front panel, and the second section of the front panel being connected to the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel such that the second section of the front panel, the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel move together when the folding bed chest device transitions between an unfolded position and a folded position, wherein

when the folding bed chest device is in the folded position, the chest is configured to store a foldable mattress and a sleeping platform in an enclosure formed by the first section of the front panel, the first side panel, the second side panel, the top panel, and the bottom section with the second section of the front panel and the foldable mattress hidden therein, and

when the folding bed chest device is in the unfolded position, the sleeping platform is formed by twice unfolding the second section of the front panel such that the first sub-top panel, the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel are oriented vertically from the sleeping platform towards a ground.

6. The folding bed chest device of claim 5 , wherein

the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel each include legs connected thereto, and

in the unfolded position, the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel are oriented vertically from the sleeping platform towards the ground in support of the sleeping platform.

7. The folding bed chest device of claim 5 , wherein

the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel each include legs connected thereto, and

in the unfolded position, the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel are oriented vertically from the sleeping platform towards the ground such that the legs at least assist in supporting the sleeping platform.

8. The folding bed chest device of claim 7 , wherein the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel each include a facade and the legs attached thereto such that, in the unfolded position, the legs extend downward beyond the facade and contact the ground.

9. The chest of claim 1 , wherein

the first section of the front panel is hingably connected to the bottom section,

a side surface of the first sub-side panel and a side surface of the third sub-side panel are configured to abut the bottom section when the chest is in the closed position, and

the first sub-top panel is configured to abut the second sub-top panel to form the top panel when the chest is in the closed position.

10. The chest of claim 9 , wherein, while the chest is transitioning from the closed position to the open position, the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel are configured to disjoin from the bottom section while the second sub-side panel and the fourth sub-side panel remain stationary with respect to the bottom section.

11. The chest of claim 1 , wherein, when the chest is in the open position, the chest is configured to form the sleeping platform such that the sleeping platform includes at least an upper surface of the bottom section, an upper surface of the first section of the front panel and an upper surface of the second section of the front panel with respect to the ground.

12. The folding bed chest device of claim 5 , wherein

the first section of the front panel is hingably connected to the bottom section,

a side surface of the first sub-side panel and a side surface of the third sub-side panel are configured to abut the bottom section when the chest is in the folded position, and

the first sub-top panel is configured to abut the second sub-top panel to form the top panel when the chest is in the folded position.

13. The folding bed chest device of claim 12 , wherein, while the chest is transitioning from the folded position to the unfolded position, the first sub-side panel and the third sub-side panel are configured to disjoin from the bottom section while the second sub-side panel and the fourth sub-side panel remain stationary with respect to the bottom section.

14. The folding bed chest device of claim 5 , wherein, when the chest is in the unfolded position, the chest is configured to form the sleeping platform such that the sleeping platform includes at least an upper surface of the bottom section, an upper surface of the first section of the front panel and an upper surface of the second section of the front panel with respect to the ground.
