Description




BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION




The present invention relates to a bed assembly. More particularly, the present invention relates to a bed assembly which has a shelter.




A conventional bed does not have a shelter. When an earthquake occurs, people cannot hide in the shelter. Therefore, a furniture may fall down to hurt people in a bedroom while a large earthquake occurs.




SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION




An object of the present invention is to provide a bed assembly which has a shelter to protect people while a large earthquake occurs.




Accordingly, a bed assembly comprises a shelter, a hollow casing enclosing the shelter, and a cushion panel disposed on the hollow casing. The hollow casing has an opening, a plurality of periphery holes, a large number of vent holes, and four hollow positioning seats receiving four threaded rods. Four reinforced panels are fastened on four sides of the hollow casing. Each of the reinforced panels has a large number of vent apertures. The shelter has two transverse steel plates and four longitudinal steel plates. Each of the transverse steel plates has a plurality of reinforced bars, a plurality of threaded holes, and a plurality of round holes receiving a plurality of threaded posts. Each of the longitudinal steel plates has a plurality of round apertures, a plurality of reinforced ribs, and a large number of through holes.




In accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention, a bed assembly comprises a shelter, a hollow casing enclosing the shelter, and a cushion panel disposed on the hollow casing. The hollow casing has an opening, a plurality of periphery holes, a large number of vent holes, and four hollow positioning seats receiving four threaded rods. Four reinforced panels are fastened on four sides of the hollow casing by a plurality of screws. The screws pass through the vent holes of the hollow casing. Each of the reinforced panels has a large number of vent apertures. The shelter has two transverse steel plates and four longitudinal steel plates. Each of the transverse steel plates has a plurality of reinforced bars, a plurality of threaded holes, and a plurality of round holes receiving a plurality of threaded posts. Each of the longitudinal steel plates has a plurality of round apertures, a plurality of reinforced ribs, and a large number of through holes. A headboard is disposed on a front portion of the hollow casing. Two protection bars are disposed on two of the reinforced panels. Two foamed plastics plates are disposed in the shelter. Four nuts are disposed on a bottom of the shelter to engage with the threaded posts. One of the longitudinal steel plates has a slot receiving a folding door. The folding door has a magnet and a handle. A first cabinet is disposed on a first lateral of the hollow casing. A second cabinet is disposed on a second lateral of the hollow casing. An emergency electric power source is disposed in the shelter. The emergency electric power source comprises a socket, a lamp, and a horn.




In accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the present invention, a bed assembly comprises two shelters, a hollow casing enclosing the shelters, and a cushion panel disposed on the hollow casing. A channel is formed between the shelters and communicated with the shelters. The hollow casing has an opening. A headboard is disposed on a front portion of the hollow casing. A plurality of foamed plastics plates are disposed in the shelters. Each longitudinal steel plate has a slot receiving a folding door. Each longitudinal steel plate is adjacent to the respective foamed plastics plate. A first cabinet is disposed on a first lateral of the hollow casing. A second cabinet is disposed on a second lateral of the hollow casing.
