Abstract
A mattress corner retainer bracket having a flex segment pivotally mounted to an adjustable bed frame and having two retention segments spaced apart that are each joined to the flex segment. Each of the three segments extend in different respective planes relative to each other. As a mattress flexes in unison with adjustable movement imparted by the adjustable bed frame, the mattress corners impart a force against the two retention segments, which retain the mattress in its relative position on the adjustable bed frame by preventing the mattress from sliding off. The two retention segments are joined to each other via a joining rod that extends within the flex plane.
Claims15
An apparatus suited to prevent a mattress from slipping off an adjustable bed frame while the mattress flexes in unison with movement from the adjustable bed frame, comprising:
- a mounting structure;
- and a mattress corner retainer bracket pivotally secured to the mounting structure, the mattress corner retainer bracket including two retention segments that each extend within respective vertical retention planes, a flex segment including a pair of bent shaped structures that terminate at two respective free ends and that extend from the two retention segments within a flex plane, the entire flex segment including the bent shaped structures extending nonparallel to each of the respective retention planes, and a separation segment that spaces apart the two retention segments from each other and that extends from each of the two retention segments, wherein the flex segment retains the mattress corner retainer bracket to the mounting structure under a spring bias of the flex segment.
A method suited to prevent a mattress from slipping off an adjustable bed frame while the mattress flexes in unison with movement from the adjustable bed frame, comprising:
- pivotally securing a mattress corner retainer bracket to a mounting structure, the mattress corner retainer bracket being configured by extending two retention segments each within respective vertical retention planes, terminating a flex segment at two respective free ends and extending same from the two retention segments within a flex plane, the entire flex segment including bent L-shaped structures extending nonparallel to each of the respective retention planes, and spacing apart the two retention segments from each other with a separation segment extends from each of the two retention segments, and retaining the mattress corner retainer bracket to the mounting structure under a spring bias of the flex segment.
