Claims7
A canopy bed frame comprising two longitudinal members and a plurality of lateral members adapted to be interconnected adjacent the ends thereof to said longitudinal members to form a generally rectangular ladder-like frame, each longitudinal member including a pair of end-connected parts to form an arched side of said frame, each longitudinal member part being constructed of resilient plastic material and having bottom and side walls arranged to provide a generally trapezoidal shape in cross section, one part of each longitudinal member at the end thereof having a male fitting telescopically received in the adjacent end of the other longitudinal member part, the other longitudinal part at said adjacent end having a top wall cooperating with said bottom and side walls in defining a female fitting, the walls of said female fitting having longitudinally extending inwardly directed integral ribs, said male fitting having an end wall stabilizing the side walls adjacent thereto for engagement with said ribs, and resilient lock means interconnecting said male and female fittings against inadvertent detachment.
