Abstract
A bed frame of the type having a pair of side rails interconnected by one or more crossbars to provide a support for a box spring, and in which adjustable box spring locating and retaining clips are provided on the side rails to permit the sides of the box spring to extend beyond the side rails, and to hold the box spring against shifting movements in relation to the supporting bed frame.
Claims22
In a bed frame having an elongate side rail with a surface providing a support for a box spring adapted to project outwardly therebeyond, a box spring locating and retainer clip structure, comprising:
- a. a generally L-shaped body structure having a base leg and a right-angled end leg at one end thereof, said legs being of fixed width;
- b. means adjustably mounting said body on said rail for movements in extendable and retractable directions with said base leg extending transversely of the rail below said surface and with said end leg being positioned outwardly of said surface and projecting above the plane thereof to engage a projecting side of the box spring;
- and
- c. means for releasably latching said body against movement in said extendable direction from an adjusted position, including a manually operable latch member pivoted on one face of said base leg adjacent its juncture with the end leg for swinging movement over said one face to latched and unlatched positions with respect to a portion of the associated rail.
An adjustable box spring locating and retaining clip for a bed frame side rail, comprising:
- a. a generally L-shaped body structure having a base leg and a right-angled end leg at one end thereof, said legs being of fixed width;
- b. a latch member supported by a pivot on said base leg for swinging movement within the lateral confines of said base leg, said latch member having one end formed as an arm and being provided with serrations on one edge thereof, and its other end being formed to provide finger engageable means for selectively pivotally swinging said latch member to latching and non-latching positions.
