Abstract
An adjustable bed base has a stationary frame and a stationary seat platform raised above the stationary frame via a riser. An articulating platform includes multiple platforms hinged together. Two platforms are hinged to the stationary seat platform. Front and rear linear actuators articulate the deck such that head and foot platforms decline relative to the stationary seat platform when the linear actuators are retracted. The head and foot platforms are inclined when the linear actuators are extended.
Claims20
An adjustable bed base comprising:
- a stationary frame having opposed side rails, a head rail, and a foot rail;
- a front cross rail extending between the opposed side rails of the stationary frame;
- a rear cross rail extending between the opposed side rails of the stationary frame;
- a riser comprising two opposed braces, each brace being secured to one of the side rails of the stationary frame,
- an articulating platform comprising multiple platform sections hinged together, at least one platform section being secured to the riser such that the at least one platform section is stationary above the stationary frame;
- a front pusher assembly for moving a head platform section, the front pusher assembly comprising a front strengthener attached to one of the platform sections, the front pusher assembly further comprising a front linear actuator having a first end pivotally secured to a mounting bracket secured to the front cross rail and a second end pivotally secured to a mounting bracket secured to the front strengthener;
- and
- a rear pusher assembly for moving a foot platform section, the rear pusher assembly comprising a rear strengthener attached to one of the platform sections, the rear pusher assembly further comprising a rear linear actuator having a first end pivotally secured to a mounting bracket secured to the rear cross rail and a second end pivotally secured to a mounting bracket secured to the rear strengthener,
- wherein a front edge of the head platform section is below a rear edge of the head platform section when the front linear actuator is fully retracted and a rear edge of the foot platform section is below a front edge of the foot platform section when the rear linear actuator is fully retracted.
