Answer 1

L.C. Bailey invented the Folding Bed in 1899

It is interesting that prior to L. C. Bailey’s invention there was another black who “also invented a folding bed.

Sarah E. Goode was the owner of a furniture store in Chicago, Illinois. Her claim to fame is that she was the first Black Woman to receive a patent.
In an effort to help people maximize their limited space, Goode invented a Folding Cabinet Bed. The Cabinet Bed when folded up resembled a desk which included compartments for stationary and writing instruments. Goode received her patent on July 14, 1885.
