Abstract
The present disclosure provides a mattress foundation. The mattress foundation comprises one or more side frames, wherein the side frames comprise one or more spring buttons; and one or more end connectors, wherein the end connectors comprise a receiving opening and an aperture; wherein the end connectors are configured to removably couple to one or more side frames by inserting the side frames into the receiving opening and allow the spring buttons to be released into the apertures to form a coupled state of the side frame and the end connector; and wherein the side frames are uniform in dimension along a cross-section direction of the side frames.
Claims20
A mattress foundation structure, comprising:
- one or more side frames, wherein the one or more side frames comprise one or more spring buttons;
- and
- one or more end connectors, wherein the one or more end connectors comprise a receiving opening and an aperture;
- wherein the one or more end connectors are configured to removably couple to one or more side frames by inserting the one or more side frames into the receiving opening of the one or more end connectors and allow the one or more spring buttons to be released into the apertures to form a coupled state of the one or more side frames and the one or more end connectors;
- and
- wherein the one or more side frames are uniform in dimension along a cross-section direction of the one or more side frames without a necking portion, and
- wherein the receiving opening of the one or more end connectors comprises a cross-section with a dimension to receive the one or more side frames;
- one or more middle frames comprising one or more end portions;
- and
- one or more middle connectors, each comprising a middle pole portion and two horizontal pole portions,
- wherein the two horizontal pole portions are coupled to a top and a bottom of the middle pole portion, and
- wherein the middle pole portion has a height equal to a thickness of a mattress foundation.
A connector assembly for a mattress foundation, comprising:
- a spring button located on an end of a side frame of the mattress foundation, wherein the side frame is uniform in dimension along a cross-section direction of the side frame without a necking portion;
- a receiving opening located on an end of an end connector of the mattress foundation, wherein the receiving opening is configured to receive the end of the side frame by insertion, wherein the receiving opening has a hollow internal shape that is corresponding to a cross-section shape of the side frame and a dimension to receive the end of the side frame;
- an aperture located on the end of the end connector of the mattress foundation, wherein the aperture is configured to accommodate the spring button of the side frame when the side frame is inserted into the receiving opening;
- one or more end portions located on one or more middle frames;
- and
- a middle pole portion and two horizontal pole portions,
- wherein the two horizontal pole portions are coupled to a top and a bottom of the middle pole portion, and
- wherein the middle pole portion has a height equal to a thickness of the mattress foundation.
A connector assembly for a mattress foundation, comprising:
- an end portion of a middle frame of the mattress foundation;
- and
- a receiving slot of a middle connector, wherein the receiving slot has a hollow internal shape that is corresponding to a shape of the end portion of the middle frames;
- wherein the connector assembly is configured to removably couple to the end portion of the middle frame by sliding the end portion of the middle frame into the receiving slot of the middle connector,
- wherein the middle connector further comprises:
- a receiving opening;
- an aperture;
- a middle pole portion;
- and
- two horizontal pole portions,
- wherein the middle connector is configured to removably couple to a side frame by inserting the side frame into the receiving opening and allow a spring button on the side frame to be released into the aperture, and
- wherein the two horizontal pole portions are coupled to a top and a bottom of the middle pole portion, and
- wherein the middle pole portion has a height equal to a thickness of the mattress foundation.
