Folding pull-out bed: from idea to realization
Topics on the construction of small houses suitable for year-round use, or frame huts are popular among users of our portal. However, many forget that the convenience of living in a confined area depends largely on the competent house zoning and the "right" of furniture.
Often the usual store bought cabinets, table and bed of standard dimensions is simply impossible to cram into a small room. What to do? Option one - to roll up their sleeves and do the right thing - themselves. Especially that FORUMHOUSE accumulated extensive experience in manufacturing a wide range of furniture from exclusive author to a simple "villa".
In this regard, it is interesting foreign experience competent arrangement of small houses designed for one family. For example, a well-known promoter of the construction of the so-called overseas "Mini-homes" - Andrew Odom, offers his vision of a compact and comfortable furniture.
Andrew Odom:
The mortgage crisis in the United States in 2008 has led many to reconsider their views on real estate purchase. If earlier the majority prefer to build karkasniki from 150-200 square meters and more. m, after the collapse of the people have changed their attitude to the "mini-homes", to stop thinking of them as something unworthy of attention or uncomfortable to live. Reduce your needs and to build a small house, you can save a considerable amount for the construction. At the same time, a small area does not mean cramped, uncomfortable living conditions, the main thing - all competently plan.
Having built a mini-house with their own hands, Andrew, as well as most of the owners of such housing, faced with the problem - where to place the night suddenly came guests or relatives. Are allocated to the guest room more space, which is a small house and so its weight in gold - not rational. Make complex in the manufacture of bed-transformers, Put cots or inflatable beds - also not an option.
Thinking, Andrew developed an original concept of a folding pull-out bed that folded able to take up minimal space in the room and at the same time also serves as a bedding store accessories.
As shown in the photo above, the bed is expanded on the basis of an accordion, and all of its parts are connected to the so-called Piano Hinges. The block itself consists of two flat box, integrated into the wall.
In the first - a large box, there are two mattresses, pillows and bedspreads, the second - a smaller compartment - placed under the bed itself.
Andrew Odom:
Initially, I did not set a goal to make a full-size double bed, which will use all the time. The idea - quickly and cheaply make a guest comfortable option of minimum sizes, which, however, may be good night's sleep.
In the manufacture of the bed, Andrew spent about 9 hours and $ 200. The bed is assembled from the most common and inexpensive materials, and do not need to buy an expensive and professional tools for its manufacturing. On marginalia went plywood, painted them on the outside facade is decorated with wooden slats. When folded, the bed is fixed with two spring-loaded latches.
The very process of transformation takes a few seconds.
For convenience, the nomination of the bed moves on rollers.
Moreover, based on this idea, we can make the cabinet transformer built into the wall, which, if necessary, quickly turns into a complete storage system.
