Adjustable convertible furniture for supporting one or more persons

Abstract

An adjustable and convertible piece of furniture for accommodating single or multiple persons in multipositions. The piece may comprise a chair, couch, bed, or recreational support of novel configuration facilitating face to face conversation among several persons sitting, lounging, game playing, TV viewing, snacking, sleeping, or participating in other recreation. A unitary frame supports a cushioned horizontal surface above the floor or ground on a plurality of legs. The frame carries inner and outer tracks depending from its under side, therefrom, with the tracks being outboard of the legs, in spaced apart relation to each other. The tracks support a plurality of backrests, independently positionable along the border of the frame, via outwardly protruding cantilever means extending upwardly as vertical supporting means, in turn carrying horizontal backrest members at levels above the elevation of the cushioned surface. The space above the cushioned surface is otherwise unobstructed. The track mounted cantilever means and vertical supporting means permit horizontal displacement of the backrest members along a path substantially parallel to the border of the cushioned surface, and each backrest member is adjustable to and fro of said border, vertically of the cushioned surface, and laterally of the vertical supporting means, as well as being rotatable about a vertical axis relative thereto.
