making room for a used leather couch

08.25 apt`gear couch

8.24: apt`gear/couch/explore reuse:
. my neighbors tossed a great leather couch
so I took it home with my dolly,
but there's no space in the living room
unless I can move out the couch currently there .
. the only way to get it down the hallway,
is to cut off its absurdly tall arms
(they are as high as the back of the couch!);
but how to remove the upholstry on the couch
without ripping all the fabric up?

rotating bed

12.31: gear/rotating bed:

. the bed is a cage with foam fit all around

with hole for face .

. it provides movement to avoid bed sores .

. the pivot points for head-to-foot axis rotation

are at adjustable heights like so:

change the angle of the head-to-foot from horz'al

by having 2 pulleys at foot and head,

so the bed is held at either end

by a single chain that is held by both pulleys

such that lowering the foot of bed

will in turn raise the head of the bed .

. the rotation engine can use it's own weight

for the torque to slowly rotate the cage;

it hangs like a balast from one end,

and as it cranks on the bed,

it either has to raise itself or turn the cage .
