Abstract

Structured in modular fashion based on two sides (1-1'), a head (2) and a foot (2') standing as independent parts fixable by means of corner members (3), both the length and the width may be adjusted at will, by means of a greater or lesser degree of plugging or overlap of the corner members (3) with respect to the sides, head and foot (1-2). Furthermore, each side (1-1') has a pair of connecting rods (8) hinged thereto which are hinged at their top end to two bolsters (9) that form part of the mattress platform or base as such, said bolsters being also independent in respect of each other and having fluted fittings (11) on their inner face in which rigid or flexible crosspieces (12) making up the platform may be plugged to a greater or lesser extent, to adjust its width at will, said bolsters (9) moreover having telescopic terminals (10) at their ends that in turn permit the length of the platform to be adjusted.

Dependent claims

An adjustable modular supporting frame for a mattress, which comprises

(A) a base having
(i) elongated base side supports disposed in parallel to each other,
(ii) elongated base end cross braces disposed in parallel with each other for adjustably interconnecting the ends of said elongated base side supports, and
(iii) a corner attaching member for adjustably interconnecting respective ends of said base side supports and base end cross braces, said base side supports and base end cross braces each having a vertical width for defining a base storage space enclosed within said base supports and base end cross braces,
(B) a mattress-supporting platform adapted to cover said base storage space from above, and having
(i) elongated platform side supports, said platform side supports each having two ends and an inside face, and
(a) adjustable terminals at their respective ends for adjusting the lengths of said side supports to the length of a mattress to be placed thereon;
and
(b) a plurality of fittings on their inside faces,
(ii) elongated platform end supports for interconnecting the ends of said platform side supports, and
(iii) a plurality of platform cross members having their respective ends disposed within said fittings for adjustably interconnecting said elongated platform side supports, and
(C) a plurality of connecting rods attached to said base side supports for supporting said mattress-supporting platform above said base storage space.
