Abstract
A bed frame which can be assembled without the use of additional tools and may be collapsed for shipping. The bed frame comprises a pair of side rail assemblies, three cross rail assemblies and mounting brackets. Each of the cross rail assemblies is adjustable in length and comprises multiple movable members. Each cross rail member has a projection which fits inside a cavity of a leg assembly secured to one of the side rails. To disassemble the bed frame, the cross rail assemblies may be removed from the side rail assemblies without any tools.
Claims20
A bed frame assembly comprising:
- a pair of collapsible side rail assemblies, each of the collapsible side rail assemblies comprising a center leg assembly and two side rail sections, the center leg assembly comprising a generally T-shaped connector having openings, each side rail section having an end portion comprising two lips with a gap therebetween, a portion of the generally T-shaped connector of the center leg assembly fitting inside each of the gaps of each of the end portions of each of the side rail sections, each of the lips of each of the end portions of each of the side rail sections having an opening therethrough, each side rail section being pivotally secured to the center leg assembly such that each of the side rail sections is pivotal relative to the center leg assembly about a pivot axis defined by a fastener extending through each of the lips of the side rail section and through an associated one of the openings in the T-shaped connector of the center leg assembly;
- an outer leg assembly secured to each side rail section, each outer leg assembly having a hollow interior cavity therein;
- multiple cross rail assemblies extending between the side rail assemblies, each of the cross rails having an end member sized to fit into one of the hollow interior cavities of one of the center and outer leg assemblies.
A collapsible bed frame assembly comprising:
- two collapsible side rail assemblies, each of the side rail assemblies comprising a center leg assembly having a generally T-shaped connector and two side rail sections, each side rail section having an end portion comprising two lips with a gap therebetween, a portion of the generally T-shaped connector of the center leg assembly fitting inside the gap of the end portion of the side rail section, a fastener extending through each of the lips of the end portion of the side rail section, through the generally T-shaped connector of the center leg assembly and being received in a threaded opening in a molded plastic outer leg section of the center leg assembly, each fastener defining a pivot axis about which the side rail section pivots when the side rail assembly is collapsed, each side rail section further comprising a second end to which an outer leg assembly is secured, each outer and center leg assembly having a cavity therein;
- multiple cross rail assemblies extending between the side rail assemblies.
A collapsible bed frame assembly comprising:
- two side rail assemblies, each of the side rail assemblies comprising a center leg assembly and two side rail sections, each side rail section having an end portion comprising two lips with a gap therebetween, a portion of a generally T-shaped connector of the center leg assembly fitting inside the gap of the end portion of the side rail section, a fastener extending through each of the lips of the end portion of the side rail section, through the portion of the generally T-shaped connector of the center leg assembly inside the gap of the end portion of the side rail section and being received in a threaded opening in the molded plastic outer leg section of the center leg assembly, each fastener defining a pivot axis about which the side rail section pivots when the side rail assembly is collapsed, each side rail section further comprising an outer leg assembly, each outer leg assembly of each side rail section having a cavity therein;
- multiple cross rail assemblies extending between the side rail assemblies.
