Abstract
A headboard support bracket is disclosed that, when used with independent legs on a box springs, can eliminate the need for a metal frame for support of the headboard associated with the box springs. Further, the use of the bracket eliminates the need for affixing the headboard to the wall of the room, thereby precluding relocation of the bed without removal of the headboard from the wall. The headboard support bracket is symmetrical so that it can be used on either corner of the box springs without the need to resort to "right" and "left" were the bracket asymmetrical. The bracket includes indicia means for positioning the headboard support bracket properly on the box springs.

A headboard support bracket for use with a box springs and headboard, the bracket comprising:
- an elongated member consisting of a first and second side, said first and second sides integrally formed one with the other at a right angle so that a longitudinal axis is defined at the junction of the two sides;
- a plate defining a plane and further defining at least one attachment hole therethrough for affixing said plate to a box springs;
- said plate rigidly affixed to said first and second sides of said member so that the plane of said plate is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said member and forming a junction therewith;
- said plate comprising an indicia means displaced from said second side for locating said bracket relative to said box springs;
- said second side of said member defining at least two holes so that a headboard can be affixed thereto.
In combination with a box springs having a frame and independent legs, said box springs supported by said independent legs affixed to said frame, the improvement comprising:
- an elongated member consisting of a first and second side, said first and second sides integrally formed one with the other at right angles so that a longitudinal axis is defined at the junction of the two sides;
- a plate defining a plane and having attachment holes therethrough for affixing said plate to said box springs;
- said plate rigidly affixed to said first and second sides of said member so that the plane of said plate is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said member and forming a junction therewith;
- said second side of said member defining at least two holes so that a headboard can be affixed thereto.
A headboard support bracket for use with a box springs and headboard, the bracket comprising:
- an elongated member consisting of a first and second side, said first and second sides integrally formed on with the other at a right angle so that a longitudinal axis is defined at the junction of the two sides;
- a plate defining a plane and defining at least one attachment hole therethrough for affixing said plate to a box springs;
- said plate rigidly affixed to said first and second sides of said member so that the plane of said plate is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said member and forming a junction therewith;
- said second side of said member defining at least four holes, two of said at least four holes formed on one side of said junction of said plate and said second side and two of said at least four holes formed on the other side of said junction of said plate and said second side, such that a headboard may be adjustably affixed to said headboard support bracket using any two of said at least four holes.
