Abstract
A recessed bed mountable article holding system includes a frame engagement member for engaging a bedframe. A receiver is attached to and extends downwardly from the frame engagement member. The receiver is attached to the frame engagement member such that the frame engagement member extends inwardly away from a vertical plane of an exterior surface of the bedframe and under a mattress supported by the bedframe. The receiver releasably holds a self-defense apparatus.
Claims17
A bed mountable support assembly configured to retain a self-defense apparatus in a recessed condition relative to a bedframe, the assembly comprising:
- a frame engagement member configured to engage the bedframe;
- a receiver being attached to and extending downwardly from the frame engagement member, wherein the receiver is attached to the frame engagement member such that the receiver is positioned inwardly away from a vertical plane of an exterior surface of the bedframe and under a mattress supported by the bedframe, the receiver being configured to releasably hold the self-defense apparatus;
- and
- wherein the frame engagement member comprises
- an upper plate having an outer edge and inner edge, the upper plate being configured to be positionable on a bedframe and under a mattress positioned on the bedframe such that the upper plate is horizontal and the inner edge is directed under an area covered by the mattress, the vertical plane extending adjacently along and downwardly from the outer edge, and
- a vertical plate being attached to the outer edge and extending upwardly therefrom, the vertical plate extending along the outer edge, the vertical plate forming a perpendicular angle with the upper plate wherein the vertical plate is configured for being positioned between the bedframe and an outer wall of the mattress such that the frame engagement member is contoured to be obscured from view by the bedframe.
A method of hiding a self-defense apparatus under a bed in an easily accessible location, the method including the steps of:
- extending a frame engagement member between a bedframe and a bedding member positioned on the bedframe such that the frame engagement member is obscured from being viewed by the bedframe and to suspend a receiver attached to the frame engagement member from the bedframe such that the receiver is spaced inwardly away from a vertical plane of an exterior surface of the bedframe to position the receiver under a mattress supported by the bedframe, the receiver including an inner wall extending downwardly from the frame engagement member, a lip being attached to a lower edge of the vertical wall and extending toward the vertical plane, the lip being angled upwardly;
- and
- positioning the self-defense apparatus on the lip.
A method of hiding a self-defense apparatus under a bed in an easily accessible location, the method including the steps of:
- extending a frame engagement member between a bedframe and a bedding member positioned on the bedframe such that the frame engagement member is obscured from being viewed by the bedframe and to suspend a receiver attached to the frame engagement member from the bedframe such that the receiver is spaced inwardly away from a vertical plane of an exterior surface of the bedframe to position the receiver under a mattress supported by the bedframe;
- and
- positioning the self-defense apparatus on the receiver.
