Abstract
A sofa-sleeper includes a stationary sofa frame having a front, back and opposed sides, and a sofa bed mechanism including pivotally interconnected head, body, intermediate and foot frame sections which are extendable to form a bed and foldable within the sofa frame to form a seat. The sofa bed mechanism is removably mounted upon the stationary sofa frame by dove-tail shaped brackets mounted on opposed sides of the sofa frame, and a pair of tapered mounting plates pivotally connected on opposite sides of the sofa bed mechanism to the head and body frame sections. The tapered mounting plates of the sofa bed mechanism are adapted to slide into the dove-tail shaped brackets of the sofa frame, and are releasably locked therein by a tab formed on each mounting plate which snap fits within a mating slot formed in each bracket.
