Bedrail attachments for engineered wood bedrail

A method of mounting a bed rail hook having a plurality of through-extending apertures on an end of a man made wood material bed rail that has a slot adapted to receive the bed rail hook and a plurality of through extending apertures comprising:

• inserting the bed rail hook into the slot;
• aligning the plurality of apertures of the bed rail and bed rail hook;
• inserting rivets into the bed rail apertures and the bed rail hook apertures including locating rivet heads in countersinks around the bed rail apertures;
• and
• clinching ends of the rivets into the countersinks to provide a removal resistant engagement of the hook within the slot.

A man made wood material bed rail and bedpost connection using a hook and fastener assembly comprising:

• a man made wood material bed rail having apertures extending through an end thereof;
• a bedpost having a slot therein and apertures extending through said bedpost and said intersecting said slot;
• first and second pluralities of rivets, each of said rivets having a head and a shank;
• and
• a bed rail hook having a flat body with a plurality of apertures extending through a first end of said flat body with countersinks on at least insertion ends of the apertures, said bed rail hook apertures having a diameter slightly larger than the shank of said first plurality of rivets and the countersinks having a diameter slightly larger than the head of said first plurality of rivets;
• said first plurality of rivets extending through aligned ones of the apertures in said bed rail and apertures in said bed rail hook and having shank ends of said first plurality of rivets clinched to provide a removal resistant engagement of the hook in the bed rail;
• said second plurality of rivets extending through aligned ones of the apertures in said bedpost and having shank ends of said second plurality of rivets clinched to provide substantial removal resistance;
• said bedpost slot and said second plurality of rivets adapted to allow said bed rail hook to engage said second plurality of rivets within said bedpost slot.
