Sofa design with a mechanism French chat
The method of transformation of the sofa, called the French casket, implies the folding of a bend of three folds. In the collected state, the structure is placed under the sofa seat. Three blocks of the berth are fastened with hinges. The middle part when laying is based on the P-shaped metal support, and at the head of the lining is attached to the side details.

Varieties of the base
The sofas with a folder in French will be conditionally divided into three types, according to the option of a berth and the possibility of daily use.
Latovic mechanisms imply a large amount of lamellas to maintain the mattress, due to this it is inconvenient to use for daily sleep, since each of the lat is bend separately.
Lamelian base
Latin-tent bases consist of birch armor attached to a metal frame with special holders and a stretched awning or polypropylene. The awning is attached to the frame with springs, which gives the design of strength and prevents sagging.
Tender bases are now practically not produced, since there are more than the deficiencies in such a model than the advantages.
Metal frame with a synthetic tent
The welded grate is the most durable option. The base for the mattress is filled with a grille of steel rods. The base is attached to the frame with springs, and the folding mechanism is reinforced with special tubes. The French chat with a welded grate can be used for daily sleep. The advantages of such a sofa include strength, lack of hammock effect, the possibility of using a high mattress.
Mechanisms with a wire mesh in the base for a long time retain the original appearance and are durable compared to the lamine or lat-tent base.

French cot is characterized by a simplicity of transformation
With all the advantages, the sofa-rally is not devoid of shortcomings. So, to lay out the sofa, it is necessary to remove the seats each time. The design of such a sofa does not imply a linen box. Most models use a thin mattress. In models with a tint-lane base, a hammock effect is felt. The length of the berth in the couch with the French chat rarely exceeds 185 cm, which is suitable for people of high stature, but ideal for a teenager or child.
