Murphy bed
Folding bed The original Murphy Bed was invented by Californian, William L Murphy (although the term is now sometimes used for any folding bed which can be stored in a cupboard). William Murphy actually got his first patent for a folding bed in 1900, and in the same year he set up the Murphy Door Bed Company". But the bed that most people think of when they think of a Murphy Bed is the "pivot bed", with he invented in 1918, and which pivoted into the doorway of a bedroom cupbiard. Murphy went on to invent further space-saving furniture. According to: http://www.miketodd.net/lexicon/lex_m.htm |
