Appl. No.:

International Classification:

A47C 19/00

US Classification:

5201

Abstract:

A modular bed frame has ladder-like side frames with upper and lower side rails, and ladder-like end frames with upper and lower rails. The side and end frames telescopingly attach to the ends of upper and lower rounded corner rails on separate corner assemblies at the four corners of the assembled foundation. The rounded corner rails are rigidly supported as a unit by upright bracing members. The insides of the side frames carry tubular upright fittings for increasing vertical rigidity. These fittings support upwardly opening tubular sleeves that receive right angle corner connectors on the ends of spaced apart and parallel horizontal slats that traverse the bed frame from end to end when assembled by a user. Separate bed-elevating assemblies positioned at or near the corner connector assemblies elevate the assembled foundation above the floor.

Abstract:

A modular bed foundation to support the weight of a mattress and eliminate the need for a box spring. The bed foundation has a pair of end sections, a pair of side sections, and a plurality of horizontally extending mattress support slats detachably connected to the pair of side sections without the use of fasteners. First and second sets of legs are detachably connected to respective leg receivers at the pair of side sections without the use of fasteners. An improved corner assembly enables each of the pair of end sections to be detachably connected to an adjacent one of the pair of side sections without the use of fasteners. The improved corner assembly includes a corner post having a pair of corner inserts projecting therefrom to be slidably and removably received within hollow rails of one of the pair of end sections.
