- two base blocks, each base block having
- a bottom surface, and
- an upper surface for supporting the support structure of the bed;
- and
- a centerpiece having two ends, each end connected to one of the base blocks.
A system for elevating a bed having legs and resting on a surface, the system comprising:
- two base blocks, each base block having
- a bottom surface,
- an upper surface, and
- a well, having side walls and a bottom surface, formed within the upper surface for accepting the leg of the bed;
- and
- a centerpiece having two ends, each end connected to one of the base blocks.
An apparatus for elevating a bed having legs and resting on a surface, the apparatus comprising a base block having:
- a bottom surface;
- an upper surface, smaller in area than the bottom surface;
- an outer surface, in contact with the bottom surface and the upper surface, the outer surface sloped from the upper surface to the bottom surface;
- and
- a well, having side walls and a bottom surface, formed within the upper surface for accepting the leg of the bed, wherein exposed edges formed by interfaces of the bottom surface, outer surface, upper surface, and well are substantially rounded.
A system for elevating a bed having a support structure and resting on a surface, the system comprising:
- a first base block having a bottom surface, an upper surface for supporting the support structure of the bed, and an inner side;
- and
- a second base block having a bottom surface, an upper surface for supporting the support structure of the bed, and an inner side with a cavity formed therein for accepting the inner side of the first base block.
