If an earthquake occurs, these assembly parts will automatically form a strong box that covers the body. Users can keep in bedside cabinets necessities such as drinking water, canned food, loudspeakers, hammers . These things will help them survive the time to be rescued.

'Because I experienced two earthquakes, I knew a lot about such natural disasters. The earthquake in Van Xuyen (Tu Xuyen, 5-2008) and Ngoc Thu (Thanh Hai province, 4-2010) caused serious damage to human lives. I think the important thing I can do is invent something to limit casualties' , the 66-year-old inventor confided at the ceremony to receive the patent. 'My life-saving bed is very useful, especially suitable for low-rise houses, built of bricks and concrete, as well as being suitable for families with frail or sick people,' said Mr. Wang.
