Abstract
A horizontally expandable bed rail having a guard rail frame that confronts a first side of a bed to prevent a child from falling out of the bed. The guard rail frame includes a pair of vertical support members interconnected by upper, lower and intermediate horizontal support members that slide horizontally in and out such that the vertical support members have an extended position where the vertical support members are spaced apart by a first distance and a drawn in position where the vertical support members are spaced apart by a second distance that is less than the first distance.
Claims15
A horizontally expandable bed rail comprising:
- a) a guard rail frame for confronting a side of a bed for preventing a child from rolling off the bed;
- b) first and second legs engaged to the guard rail frame, with the first and second legs being disposed horizontally to extend between a mattress and box spring of the bed;
- c) wherein the guard rail frame includes first and second vertical support members;
- d) wherein the guard rail frame includes upper, lower and intermediate horizontal support members engaged between the first and second vertical support members;
- e) wherein each of the upper, lower and intermediate support members slides in and out in a horizontal direction such that the vertical support members have an extended position where the vertical support members are spaced from each other by a first distance and such that the vertical support members have a drawn in position where the vertical support members are spaced from each other by a second distance that is less than the first distance;
- and
- f) wherein each of the upper, lower and intermediate horizontal support members comprises at least three tubes, with the tubes telescoping relative to each other.
