Abstract
Provided is an elevated bed system comprising a platform and one or more legs detachably connected to the platform. The legs may be configured to vary in length and may include a foot pivotably connected to each leg, enabling stable placement on various surfaces. The platform can be perforated and foldable. The system may also include configurations with multiple legs of different lengths and detachable, pivotable connections between the foot and the leg. Additionally, the system may encompass legs with portions designed to be secured to surfaces using stakes, screws, corkscrews, or combinations thereof. This versatile design allows for easy assembly, adjustment, and stability on diverse surfaces.
Claims20
A platform assembly comprising:
- a first platform section having a first side;
- a second platform section having a second side adjacent the first side;
- a hinge coupling the first platform section and the second platform section for movement between a folded configuration and an unfolded configuration in which the first platform section and the second platform section are disposed at about a 180-degree angle relative to one another;
- a first C-channel located in the first side;
- a second C-channel located in the second side;
- a sliding latch comprising a rigid slide or plate slidable between (i) a stowed position in which the sliding latch is held captive in the first C-channel and (ii) a latched position in which the sliding latch extends from the first C-channel into the second C-channel to latch the first platform section and the second platform section in the unfolded configuration;
- a first spring-loaded pin located in the first platform section;
- and
- a second spring-loaded pin located in the second platform section,
- wherein the sliding latch defines one or more openings that, in the latched position, are occupied by the first spring-loaded pin and the second spring-loaded pin to hold the sliding latch captive in the first platform section and the second platform section.
An elevated bed system comprising:
- a platform defining a plurality of holes or receptacles;
- a first support structure comprising:
- a first support leg detachably connected to the platform at a first selected hole or receptacle by a first removable fastener;
- and
- a first clamp detachably clamped around the first support leg;
- a second support structure comprising either (i) a second support leg detachably connected to the platform at a second selected hole or receptacle by a second removable fastener or (ii) a platform fastener received in one of the holes or receptacles;
- a connector detachably connected to the second support structure;
- and
- a brace leg detachably connected between the first clamp and the connector to brace the first support leg against movement,
- wherein the brace leg is length-adjustable, and wherein the brace leg is selectively configurable either as a vertical support leg detachably connected to the platform or as a cross-brace.
