Ranucci mechanism

New! Ranucci Transformation Mechanism!

Italians, furniture trendsetters, are sure: to sit and sleep on different elements of the sofa, because softer filler is required for sitting, and harder filler for healthy sleep. The Ranucci double-fold mechanism is a unique mechanism for daily sleep, the comfort of which is comparable to a full bed. The berth consists of three parts, two of which are the base of the seat before the transformation, and the third, folding, forms the back. The assembled sofas with the "Ranucci" mechanism occupy a minimum area, because the Ranucci mechanism itself is both a sofa and a sleeping place at the same time, which saves space in the living room. The mechanism unfolds in one movement, the seat and back cushions do not need to be removed, because they go under the sleeping place. As a result of unfolding, we get an excellent sleeping place, without joints, without level drops (which often happens when various roll-out systems are used). The mattress is made of high-quality polyurethane foam, and the support for it is a welded steel mesh, fixed to the frame of the mechanism with the help of springs (this creates additional comfort). The frame of the mechanism is made of steel tubes, and the parts of the mechanism itself are made of steel sheet. The simplicity, comfort and reliability of the Ranucci mechanism have been appreciated and chosen for their furniture by such a world famous hotel chain as Hilton. The world furniture giant NATUZZI also uses these mechanisms for its sofas.

Let's reveal a secret: there are no “bad” and “good” folding mechanisms. But there is a wrong approach to choosing a sofa for a particular room. How to find "your" option and not be mistaken - we will help you understand in a small review.

Picking up soft sofa by the type of transformation, pay attention to the details: design features, ease and speed of unfolding, contact with the floor and the presence of a linen box. The purpose of the future sofa is also important - daily use or unfolding from time to time?

Book

A mechanism familiar to many from childhood. The book-type sofas, proven over the years, are equipped with a spacious linen compartment under the seat and have an attractive price due to the simplicity and unpretentiousness of the design.

How to decompose: the seat rises up until it clicks and then lowers. The backrest assumes a horizontal position, forming a flat surface for sleeping and resting.

What is good: low price, fast way folding, roomy box for linen.

Things to keep in mind:

Click-gag

The modern mechanism for transforming sofas, click klyak, allows us to take not two positions that are familiar to us, but three - sitting, lying and reclining. This gives additional freedom of use and comfort in use. The "relax" or "reclining" position is great for an evening rest after a hard day.

How to decompose: the seat rises up until it clicks. The first click indicates that the mechanism of the sofa has moved the product to the reclining position. If it is necessary to unfold the sofa to the state of a sleeping place, then you need to continue to lower the seat until the second click.

What is good: reliable steel frame, comfort in use, spacious box for linen.

Things to keep in mind: the distance from the backrest to the wall should be at least 10 cm. For unfolding, efforts must be made.

Eurobook

Reliable and easy-to-use Eurobook mechanism. Due to the absence of loops at the junction, the sleeping surface is smooth and comfortable. The bed is located along the sofa and does not take up much space when unfolded, which is ideal for the interior of narrow rooms. Another plus: unlike classic “book” sofas, the “eurobook” does not need to be moved away from the wall every time it is unfolded - the model's structure is pushed forward.

How to decompose: Roll out the seat and lower the backrest - the resting place is ready.

What is good: reliability and a spacious box for linen, there is no need to move the sofa every time it is unfolded, suitable for narrow rooms.

Things to keep in mind: models without wheels may scratch the floor.

Pantograph, aka "Tick-tock"

Has all the advantages of the "Eurobook", and even more. Sofas with such a mechanism are not equipped with casters and move apart without touching the floor - the seat seems to step forward, leaving the flooring intact and protecting it from damage.

How to decompose: pull the seat up and towards you and lower the backrest.

What is good: does not interact with the floor, is equipped with a linen compartment, does not need to be moved when unfolding.

Things to keep in mind: unfolding requires more effort than in the "Eurobook".

Dolphin

As easily and effectively the dolphins jump out of the water, the sofa with the dolphin mechanism unfolds with the same ease and speed. Actually, thanks to this similarity, the mechanism got its name.

Typically found in corner sofas... The sleeper frame is held by special brackets at the level of the main part of the sofa. Due to its compactness, such a model will successfully fit into the interior of a small room, and a spacious laundry box under the corner will help to hide home textiles and household trifles.

How to decompose: slide the frame out from under the seat and pull it up.

Puma

Like a cat's gait, sofas with a cougar mechanism are laid out as quietly and neatly as possible. No foot scratches or crumpled caster tracks - even the most demanding flooring won't suffer from daily unfolding. When transforming, minimal effort is needed: pull the seat up a little, and then the mechanism will do all the work.

How to decompose: pull the berth towards you by the seat, and the part located below will appear after it.

What is good: noiselessness and respect for the floor covering, easily unfolds.

Things to keep in mind: straight models do not have a laundry drawer. Have corner models he is behind the ottoman.

Accordion

Mechanism "accordion" got its name due to the similarity of unfolding with the movement of bellows musical instrument... The berth turns out to be flat and wide, without tangible joints. When unfolded, the sofa significantly eats up space in length, so choose this model only if square meters allow a similar scope for manipulation.

How to decompose: pull the loop and the seat will move forward and the back will unfold and split in two.

What is good: ease of folding.

Things to keep in mind: requires a lot of unfolding space, so do not place a table or other furniture in front of the seat. The mechanism must be looked after and regularly lubricated.

Withdrawable

Roll-out sofas are durable and reliable models. Well suited for frequent use. Contains internal storage space for bedding. The berth consists of two segments. When assembled, the segments are located in the sofa body.

How to decompose: pull the lower part from the front, then it will roll forward into the working position. All that remains is to fold the pillow into the vacant space. As a result of the transformation, a comfortable place to sleep is formed.

What is good: the most reliable, have a comfortable place to sleep and compact dimensions when assembled.

Things to keep in mind: the roll-out rollers of the sofa can ruin the flooring when unfolding, the berth has a low height

French folding bed (Mixotual)

The French clamshell is a light and compact European guest solution. Due to the design features, the model unfolds much longer than a "cougar" or "eurobook", it does not have a linen drawer, and such a sofa is not suitable for daily unfolding. If you require an option for frequent use, look for the model French clamshell, where in the supporting base instead of the fabric wooden frame- this option is more useful for the spine.

How to decompose: lift the upper seat cushion and pull the legs forward - the sleeping place, folded like an accordion, is hidden under the seat.

What is good: lightness and durability of construction.

Things to keep in mind: there is no box for linen, the bed is too soft (not recommended for daily sleep), sofas with a forward-folding mechanism do not always fit well into narrow rooms.

American clamshell (Sedaflex)

The American clamshell is often confused with the French one. The principle of operation of these mechanisms is really similar, but there are also fundamental differences. The transformation mechanism "Sedaflex", as a rule, is completed with a high-quality thick mattress (from 10 to 14 cm) and unfolds into two rather than three parts. Since the number of joints directly affects the level of comfort, it is safe to say that sleeping on a two-piece "American" will be much more comfortable than on a three-piece "Frenchwoman"

How to decompose: manually operated, it is enough to pull a little up and towards yourself, expanding the components of the berth

What is good: Sedaflex is comfortable due to the thicker mattress and belongs to the folding mechanisms, which are designed for daily use.

Things to keep in mind: there is no box for linen, sofas with a forward-folding mechanism do not always fit well into narrow rooms.

Three-fold transformation mechanism produced in Russia using Italian technology in conjunction with the Italian company Ranucci. At the moment of the day, Spartak is the ideal transformation mechanism for daily use. The changes made have made it possible to eliminate the disadvantages inherent in other mechanisms and to supplement the folding bed with a welded lattice with a number of advantages. The absence of plastic and wooden parts increases the reliability of the clamshell.

The frame of the electric-welded grating is made of a pipe Ø 25 mm, the support legs are made of a pipe Ø 20 mm and a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. The grille is made of steel bar Ø 4mm and is fixed to the frame with springs. Cell size 50x100mm. The frame is reinforced with cross members to ensure rigidity and maintain the geometry of the product.

It can be completed with both a standard mattress and an improved mattress, which is specially designed for this model. This mattress is equipped with a special sintepon pad, which gives it additional softness and comfort. The mattress cover is made of quilted jacquard and has a zip fastener, which allows it to be washed if necessary. The height of such a mattress is 7 cm. The mattress is supplied in plastic packaging, which excludes the possibility of contamination.

The mechanism of the "Spartak" sofa has a large selection of installation dimensions, from 82 to 172 cm. An elongated version of the "Spartak MD" mechanism is also produced, which has a long (192 cm) berth and allows the use of a mattress up to 10 cm thick - the maximum possible height for French clamshells.

The size of the berth is from 70 to 140 cm;

Sleeping place length - 188 cm;

The width of the berth is 140 cm;

Maximum load 120 kg. for one berth.
