Abstract
The invention described in the technical disclosure is: a lightweight, mobile assembleable, free-standing, supporting structure and assembleable bed frame used to create a swinging or suspended bed. The invention is comprised of four, padded and covered, assembleable, stable upright structural stands being longitudinally and transversally interconnected with structural members whereon an assembleable, multi-functional, bed framework is suspended by flexible means thereof from the upper ends of the upright structural stands to swing freely therefrom in any and varying direction. A box spring and mattress is then placed in the assembleable bed frame thus accomplishing the object of the invention disclosed herein.
Claims12
An assembleable, free-standing, bed suspension apparatus for suspending a swinging bed frame therefrom, comprising:
- a rectangularly-arranged support system including four assembleable, free-standing, upright stands, each of said upright stands comprising a vertical post portion, a lower horizontally-extending base portion integrally-connected to a lower end of said vertical post portion, and an upper horizontally-extending portion integrally-connected to an upper end of said vertical post portion;
- a rectangularly-shaped bed frame including two longitudinally-extending side boards connected together by two transversely-extending end boards;
- one of said four upright stands positioned at each end of said longitudinally-extending side boards at each corner of said bed frame, said upright stands being two sets of two upright stands positioned side-by-side, each set facing each other on both sides of said bed frame so as to form said rectangularly-arranged support system for said frame;
- said bed frame being suspended from each of said upper portions of said upright stands by flexible means attached thereto, said upper portions extending horizontally inward over said bed frame as a means of providing clearance for the swinging motion of said bed frame when attached by said flexible means therewith;
- said lower base portion of each of said upright stands comprising two legs extending horizontally in a V-shape along and in contact with a floor surface underneath said bed frame as a means for providing a stable base for said upright stands;
- L-shaped stabilizing leg members being attached to and on opposite sides of said vertical post portions of each of said upright stands, said stabilizing leg members comprising a vertical leg portion and an integrally-connected horizontal leg portion, said vertical leg portion being attached to said vertical post portion of said upright stand, and said horizontal leg portion extending along and in contact with said floor surface and being approximately perpendicular to said horizontal V-shaped legs of said upright stands;
- first base connecting members extending longitudinally between and being attached at each end thereof to said lower horizontal base portions of each of said side-by-side upright stands as a means of providing stability thereto;
- and
- second base connecting adjustable crossmembers extending transversely between and being means of providing unity and further stability to said rectangulary-arranged support system.
