Transformable Furniture

Abstract

One embodiment of an article of transformable furniture comprising movable and removable cushioned components that have specific relative dimensions and forms that allow for a minimum of three furniture configurations. Two of the components being wedge-like cushioned pieces ( 21 a, 21 b ) designed specifically to be arrangeable in manner providing one configuration selected from the group consisting of a couch, a chaise longue, or a small bed.

1 . An article of furniture comprising:
 a) a supporting frame,   b) cushioned seating piece,   c) a back support piece, and   d) a pair of separable cushioned wedge-like pieces,   whereby the dimensions of the all the pieces are calibrated such that the simple adjustment of the location of said wedge-like pieces can transform the furniture piece into a couch, a chaise longue, or a bed.   
     
     
         2 . The article of furniture of  claim 1  wherein said wedge-like pieces provide the back rest of said couch when placed upright against the back support piece. 
     
     
         3 . The article of furniture of  claim 1  wherein said wedge-like pieces provide a reclining area of the chaise longue when said wedge-like pieces are stacked so as to create an inclined form perpendicular to the back support piece that spans the entire depth of said cushioned seating piece. 
     
     
         4 . The article of furniture of  claim 1  wherein the dimension of the width of the back support piece is equal to the width of two said wedge-like pieces juxtaposed, whereby two said wedge-like pieces are fully supported by the back support piece. 
     
     
         5 . The article of furniture of  claim 1  wherein the dimension of the depth the seating piece is equal to the width of said wedge-like piece,
 whereby said wedge-like pieces span the entire depth of the seating area when turned 90 degrees on a horizontal axis, rotated along a vertical axis and stacked to configure the chaise longue. 
 
     
     
         6 . The article of furniture of  claim 1  wherein the wedge-like pieces are completely removable, whereby the resulting configuration is a bed. 
     
     
         7 . An article of furniture comprising:
 a) a supporting frame,   b) cushioned seating piece,   c) a back support piece, and   d) a pair of separable cushioned wedge-like pieces,   e) a pair of cushioned rectangular side pieces,   whereby the dimensions of the all the pieces are calibrated such that the simple adjustment of the location of said wedge-like pieces and said rectangular side pieces can transform the furniture piece into a couch, a chaise longue, or a bed.   
     
     
         8 . The article of furniture of  claim 7  wherein said wedge-like pieces provide the back rest of said couch when placed upright against the back support piece. 
     
     
         9 . The article of furniture of  claim 7  wherein said wedge-like pieces provide a reclining area of the chaise longue when said wedge-like pieces are stacked so as to create an inclined form perpendicular to the back support piece that spans the entire depth of said cushioned seating piece. 
     
     
         10 . The article of furniture of  claim 7  wherein the dimension of the width of the back support piece is equal to the width of two said wedge-like pieces juxtaposed,
 whereby two said wedge-like pieces are fully supported by the back support piece. 
 
     
     
         11 . The article of furniture of  claim 7  wherein said side pieces are completely removable. 
     
     
         12 . The article of furniture of  claim 7  wherein said side pieces are connected to said seating piece by continuous fabric. 
     
     
         13 . The article of furniture of  claim 7  wherein said side pieces are connected to said seating piece by zippers. 
     
     
         14 . The article of furniture of  claim 7  wherein said side pieces are connected to said seating piece by fabric or zippers and is pivotable along the line of connection,
 whereby said side pieces can move back and forth between sitting on top of the seating piece to hanging beside it. 
 
     
     
         15 . The article of furniture of  claim 7  wherein the dimension of the depth the seating piece is equal to the width of said wedge-like piece,
 whereby said wedge-like piece span the entire depth of the seating area when turned 90 degrees on a horizontal axis, rotated along a vertical axis and stacked as part of the configuration of said chaise longue. 
 
     
     
         16 . The article of furniture of  claim 7  wherein said wedge-like pieces are completely removable, whereby the resulting configuration is said bed when said side pieces are also removed or rotated to a lower position. 
     
     
         17 . The article of furniture of  claim 7  wherein said wedge-like piece shares two dimensional values with said rectangular side piece so that said wedge-like piece and rectangular piece have a planar face of equal area and equal linear dimensions and where the two faces can butt join and create a topologically smooth transition from one piece to the other increasing the comfort of the total form.
