Caster assembly for a bed frame member or furniture

A caster assembly for supporting a load asserted by a piece of furniture positioned on a generally planar surface, said caster assembly comprising a means to affix said caster assembly to a piece of furniture, said caster assembly having at least one roller adapted to contact the generally planar surface for supporting said caster assembly, said at least one roller being freely rotatable to allow movement of the piece of furniture, and a glide cup adapted to be readily attached to said caster assembly to cover said at least one roller, said glide cup having a effective flat, planar surface adapted to contact the generally planar surface support said caster assembly.

A caster assembly adapted to be affixed to and support the weight of a piece of furniture on a generally planar surface, said caster assembly comprising a housing, at least one roller rotatably affixed to said housing, said caster assembly further including a generally flat glide removable affixed to said housing and adapted to underlie said at least one roller, said glide having a flat planar surface contacting said generally planar surface to support said piece of furniture.

A bed frame or bed rails for location on a floor, said bed frame or bed rails comprising a pair of side rails spaced apart and generally parallel to each other, at least one cross member affixed between said pair of side rails and spanning the space between said side rails, at least one caster assembly depending downward from at least one of said side rails or said cross member to contact the floor, said caster assembly comprising a housing, said housing containing a plurality of rollers depending downwardly therefrom to contact the floor for supporting the weight of said bed frame directed upon said caster assembly generally along a vertical axis, said rollers each being spaced approximately equidistant from said vertical axis, each of said rollers being freely rotatable to allow movement of said bed frame in any direction.

A bed assembly supported on a floor, said bed assembly comprising a pair of bed rails and at least one cross member affixed to said bed rails and located intermediate said bed rails, a caster assembly affixed to said cross member and adapted to contact the floor to support said cross member, said caster assembly having at least three freely rotatable spheres depending downwardly to contact the floor, each of said spheres being rotatable about a centerpoint of said spheres, said caster assembly being threadedly engaged to said at least one cross member to enable a said caster assembly to be vertically adjusted with respect to said cross member.
