Murphy bed

A Murphy Bed is a bed that folds down from a wall. William L. Murphy applied for a patent for this idea around 1900. In that year Murphy started the Murphy Wall Bed Company and began production in San Francisco. In January of 1990, the company changed its name to the "Murphy Bed Co. Inc."

These beds make appearances in movies as they lend themselves to slapstick humor in which people are folded into a wall.
