Abstract
A bed frame includes legs, bars and wooden slats. Each leg has first and second sides that meet each other at an edge. A first slot is disposed on the first side adjacent to the edge, and a second slot is disposed on the second side adjacent to the edge. Each bar has two wedge inserts. A first wedge on a lateral bar fits into the first slot, and a second wedge on a longitudinal bar fits into the second slot. The lateral bar is perpendicular to the leg while the first wedge is lodged in the first slot, and the longitudinal bar is perpendicular to the leg while the second wedge is lodged in the second slot. The first slot and the second slot are disposed between the lateral bar and the longitudinal bar while the first and second wedge inserts are lodged in the first and second slots.
Claims20
A bed frame assembly comprising:
- a support leg with a first side, a second side, a first slot and a second slot, wherein the first side is perpendicular to the second side and meets the second side at an edge, wherein the first slot is disposed on the first side adjacent to the edge, and wherein the second slot is disposed on the second side adjacent to the edge;
- a first wedge insert attached to a lateral bar, wherein the first wedge insert fits into the first slot, wherein the lateral bar is oriented perpendicular to the support leg while the first wedge insert is lodged in the first slot, wherein the first wedge insert is disposed between the edge and the lateral bar while the first wedge insert is lodged in the first slot, and wherein no portion of the first wedge insert is disposed below the lateral bar while the first wedge insert is lodged in the first slot;
- and
- a second wedge insert attached to a longitudinal bar, wherein the second wedge insert fits into the second slot, wherein the longitudinal bar is oriented perpendicular to the support leg while the second wedge insert is lodged in the second slot, and wherein the second wedge insert is disposed between the edge and the longitudinal bar while the second wedge insert is lodged in the second slot.
A bed frame assembly comprising:
- a leg that has a first slot and a second slot, wherein the first slot has a first inner slanted surface, and wherein the second slot has a second inner slanted surface;
- a lateral bar that has a first wedge insert that is adapted to lodge in the first slot, wherein the first wedge insert has a first slanted outer surface that is adapted to contact the first inner slanted surface while the first wedge insert is lodged in the first slot, and wherein the lateral bar is perpendicular to the leg while the first wedge insert is lodged in the first slot;
- and
- a longitudinal bar that has a second wedge insert that is adapted to lodge in the second slot, wherein the second wedge insert has a second slanted outer surface that is adapted to contact the second inner slanted surface while the second wedge insert is lodged in the second slot, wherein the longitudinal bar is perpendicular to the leg and perpendicular to the lateral bar while both the second wedge insert is lodged in the second slot and the first wedge insert is lodged in the first slot, and wherein the first slot and the second slot are disposed between the lateral bar and the longitudinal bar while the first and second wedge inserts are lodged in the first and second slots.
A bed frame assembly comprising:
- a leg with a first slot and a second slot, wherein the first slot is oriented perpendicular to the second slot;
- a first wedge insert attached to a lateral bar, wherein the first wedge insert is adapted to fit into the first slot;
- and
- a second wedge insert attached to a longitudinal bar, wherein the second wedge insert is adapted to fit into the second slot, wherein the first slot and the second slot are disposed adjacent to one another and between the lateral bar and the longitudinal bar while the first and second wedge inserts are lodged in the first and second slots, and wherein no portion of the first slot and no portion of the first wedge insert are disposed below the lateral bar while the first wedge insert is lodged in the first slot.
