Earthquake-proof bed 'swallows' you when it senses the ground shaking: Mechanism drops you and your mattress into a sealed box full of supplies. Concept by DAHIR INSAAT, original links ​[ Ссылка ] ...Animated video shows concept designs for earthquake-proof beds. In the event of a quake, the mattress drops into the bed's frame. A hard top then covers the bed to seal the box and protect against debris.

If you live in an earthquake hot spot you may be able to sleep a little sounder, thanks to concept designs for an earthquake-proof bed.

An animated video showcases a series of designs for a bed that protects its slumbering occupants during a quake - but it may not be the bed of choice for the claustrophobic.

Resembling a cross between a strong box and a Venus flytrap, the mattress drops into a chamber covered with a protective lid when sensors feel the ground shaking.

The earthquake-proof bed is designed to seal in the sleeper in the event of a serious quake. When tremors start, the mattress drops inside the bed's frame

The occupant inside would then wait out the quake in the strong box until help arrived, or the quake subsided.
HOW THE EARTHQUAKE-PROOF BEDS WOULD WORK

Chinese inventor Wang Wenxi was granted a patent for the initial quake-proof bed in 2010 and has since updated the designs.

The original design shows the bed consisting of a large metallic box with a mattress on top.

When the earthquake hits, this mattress is seen being dropped by a hinged mechanism, while the lid of the box closes above it, sealing the occupant inside.

The second design, instead, drops the user through what resembles a trap door.

The hinge is in the center of the bed, rather than the side, so the mattress drops flat to the bottom of the box, rather than tipping the sleeper out.

The animation shows that the beds would even have space for supplies, including water, food, medical kits and even tools, but how you might access any of this is unclear.

There is no word yet on whether any of the designs will make it past the initial concept phase, or when you might be able to buy one.

But judging by their size and sturdy construction, you may need to enlist the help of a few friends to help you get them up the stairs.
