Cabinet bed

Abstract

A folding cabinet bed system includes a cabinet assembly having a base supported by a plurality of legs, two opposing side panels secured to the base, and a front panel assembly connected to the base by one or more primary hinges. The front panel assembly is movable between an upright closed position and an opened position, such that when in the opened position the front panel assembly is configured to be at least partially supportive of a mattress. The front panel assembly includes a top folding leg rotatably connected thereto and extending from and supportive of the front panel assembly when in the opened position. The front panel assembly further includes a frame having a main frame portion, a footboard frame connected to the main frame by one or more secondary hinges, and a footboard leg extending from the footboard frame and supportive of the footboard frame.

         5 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 1 , further comprising a guide assembly extending between the top folding leg and a panel body of the front panel assembly to limit movement of the top folding leg relative to the panel body. 
     
     
         6 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 5 , wherein the guide assembly includes:
 a guide arm pivotably secured to the top folding leg, the guide arm including an arm slot extending at least partially along a length of the guide arm; and   a guide pin secured to the panel body and extending through the guide slot.   
     
     
         7 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 6 , wherein the guide pin includes a pin head that overlaps at least on slot edge of the guide slot. 
     
     
         8 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 6 , wherein the guide slot includes a slot recess receivable of the guide pin to lock the position of the top folding leg when the guide pin is in the slot recess. 
     
     
         9 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 1 , further comprising a top panel assembly secured to a top of the side panels and extending between the two side panels. 
     
     
         10 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 8 , wherein the top panel assembly includes:
 a first top panel secured to the two side panels; and   a second top panel connected to the first top panel by one or more top panel hinges.   
     
     
         11 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 1 , wherein the mattress is stored in the folding bed chest system when the front panel assembly is in the closed position. 
     
     
         12 . A folding cabinet bed system, comprising:
 a cabinet assembly, comprising:
 a base supported by a plurality of legs; 
 two opposing side panels spaced apart by a distance and secured to the base; and 
 a front panel assembly connected to the base by one or more primary hinges, the front panel assembly movable between an upright closed position and an opened position, such that when in the opened position the front panel assembly is configured to be at least partially supportive of a mattress, the front panel assembly including a top folding leg rotatably connected to the front panel assembly, the top folding leg extending from and supportive of the front panel assembly when the front panel assembly is in the opened position; and 
 a latch assembly secured to the side panel and to the top folding leg, the latch assembly configured to retain the front panel assembly in a closed position to the side panels and to retain the top folding leg in a closed position to the front panel assembly. 
   
     
     
         13 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 12 , wherein the base includes one of a plurality of base slats or a base panel or a plurality of panels. 
     
     
         14 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 12 , wherein the front panel assembly includes a plurality of panel slats extending nonparallel to the plurality of base slats. 
     
     
         15 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 12 , further comprising a guide assembly extending between the top folding leg and a panel body of the front panel assembly to limit movement of the top folding leg relative to the panel body. 
     
     
         16 . The folding cabinet bed system of  claim 15 , wherein the guide assembly includes:
 a guide arm pivotably secured to the top folding leg, the guide arm including an arm slot extending at least partially along a length of the guide arm; and   a guide pin secured to the panel body and extending through the guide slot.
