Convertible bed and pack frame

A convertible bed and pack frame comprising:

• first and second members, each having first and second spaced side rails, each of the first and second side rails each having first and second ends;
• first means depending from and interconnecting the first and second side rails of the first member;
• second means depending from and interconnecting the first and second side rails of the second member;
• and
• means for releasably connecting first and second side rails of the first and second members into a co-axial interconnected bed frame configuration, the first and second side rails of the first and second members being separable and re-arrangeable in a nested side-by-side pack carrying configuration;
• the first and second side rails of the first and second members having a tubular configuration;
• the first and second side rails of the first member having a hollow first cross section;
• the first and second side rails of the second member having a second cross section different than the first cross section of the first and second side rails of the first member and adapted to be telescopingly inserted within the first end of the first and second side rails fo the first member for directly interconnecting the first and second side rails of the first and second members into an elongated bed support frame.

A convertible bed and pack frame comprising:

• first and second members, each having first and second spaced side rails with first and second spaced ends;
• a first pair of interconnecting means depending from and interconnecting first and second side rails of the first member;
• a second interconnecting means depending from and interconnecting the first and second side rails of the second member;
• each of the first pair and second interconnecting means including:
• opposed, depending leg portions joined to the first and second side rails and depending downward therefrom;
• and
• a cross member extending between and joined to the bottom ends of the depending leg portions;
• means for adjusting the length of the first paid and second interconnecting means, the adjusting means including:
• the cross member having first and second separable portions, each joined to one of the depending leg portions of the interconnecting means;
• and
• a connector mountable within one of the first and second separable portions of the cross member and adapted to be adjustably and slidingly received within the other of the first and second separable portions of the cross member so as to selectively vary the length of the interconnecting means;
• and
• means for directly interconnecting the first and second side rails of the first and second members into a co-axially interconnected bed frame configuration, the first and second members being separable and re-arrangeable into a nested pack carrying configuration.
