1. A collapsible and retractable bed structure comprising:
- a collapsible bed frame assembly comprising;
a pair of side rail members having a first end and a second end;
each of said side rail members comprising a plurality of pivotally interconnected rail sections;
a head rail member attached to the first end of said side rail members and extending between said first ends;
a foot rail member attached to the second end of said side rail members and extending between said second ends;
a center support assembly pivotally attached to said side rail members at or near the midpoint of said side rail members;
a foot support member pivotally attached to said side rail members at or near the foot rail member of said bed frame assembly; and
, a retraction means attached to the head rail member of said collapsible bed frame assembly comprising;
a pair of sliding block assemblies with each assembly having a first block member, a second block member, a rod member for slidably receiving said first and second block members, and front and rear mounting blocks for securing the ends of said rod member to a permanent support member such as a structural beam or joist; and
, a cross beam member for receiving the head rail member of said frame assembly;
said cross beam member being attached to, and extending between, said pair of sliding block assemblies thereby providing for synchronous movement of said block assemblies whenever said cross beam member is caused to be moved in a linear direction with respect to the rod members of said sliding block assemblies.

Abstract
A collapsible and retractable bed structure having design features which permits the bed structure to be folded or collapsed in a manner so as to allow the device to be incorporated into the limited space created between the rafters of a steeply sloping roofline and an interior wall, such as a knee wall, of a home or other building structure. The invention can be used to transform previously unusable or wasted space within a home or other building structure into fully functional living quarters.

9. A collapsible and retractable bed structure, comprising:
-
a collapsible bed frame assembly comprising a pair of jointed, L-shaped, side rail members, a head rail member, a foot rail member, a wheeled center support assembly and a foot support member; and
,a bed retraction assembly comprising a pair of sliding block assemblies and a U-shaped cross beam member;
wherein each said sliding block assembly of said bed retraction assembly comprises a first block member, a second block member, a rod member for slidably receiving said first and second block members, and front and rear mounting blocks for securing the ends of said rod member to a permanent support member such as a structural beam or joist, and wherein said U-shaped cross beam member of said bed retraction assembly is rigidly attached to the head rail member of said bed frame assembly and extends horizontally between, and synchronously connects, said sliding block assemblies.
