Abstract
A bedbug infestation-resistant bed including: a rectangular metal frame comprising four elongate, rigid frame members including a first pair of end rails and a second pair of side rails; one or more elongate, rigid metal support members extending transversely across the frame between opposing side rails; four metal legs, each coupled at and extending downwardly from a respective one of four corners of the frame; and a metal wire mesh infill expanse forming a planar support surface extending within a perimeter of the frame.
Claims9
A bug infestation-resistant bed comprising:
- a rectangular metal frame comprising four elongate, rigid frame members, wherein:
- each of the four rigid frame members extends between and rigidly couples at each of two adjacent corners of the frame,
- a first pair of the rigid frame members form end rails, each end rail of the first pair of end rails being disposed at one or another of opposing ends of the frame,
- a second pair of the rigid frame members form side rails, each side rail of the second pair of side rails being disposed at one or another of opposing sides of the frame, and
- each rigid frame member extends perpendicularly relative to each directly adjacent rigid frame member;
- one or more elongate, rigid metal support members extending transversely across the frame between the opposing side rails, wherein each opposing end of each of the one or more rigid support members overlaps and couples with a respective one or other of the opposing side rails;
- four metal legs, wherein:
- each of the four metal legs is rigidly coupled at and extends downwardly from a respective one of four corners of the frame, and
- each of the four metal legs is either or both of powder coated and painted, forming a suitably smooth surface finish to inhibit frictional engagement by the feet of a bedbug;
- and
- a metal, wire mesh infill expanse coupled with each of the end rails and the side rails, wherein the wire mesh forms a planar support surface extending within a perimeter of the frame.
