Abstract

A sofa bed iron frame mechanism has a side plate (16), a back plate (21), a first frame (1), a second frame (2), and connecting members (17); further includes a stabilizer rod assembly and an elastic connecting rod assembly. The first frame (1) is hinged to the second frame (2) by the stabilizer rod assembly, the second frame (2) is connected to the side plate (16) by the elastic connecting rod assembly, and the back plate (21) is disposed at a back side of the second frame (2). The first frame (1) and the second frame (2) are folded or unfolded through the stabilizer rod assembly, and the second frame (2) switches between a folded state and an unfolded state by inertia of the elastic connecting rod assembly. For this iron frame mechanism, there is no interference during folding.
