Appl. No.:

11/617299

Inventors:

Robert A. Bartelsmeyer - High Point NC, US
David W. Stroud - Lexington NC, US

Assignee:

L&P Property Management Company - South Gate CA

International Classification:

A47F 5/00

US Classification:

2481259, 5207, 5312, 2483543

Abstract:

A clamp assembly for securing a pair of overlapping cross support members extending between two opposed side rails of a bed frame is provided. The clamp assembly includes a unitary clamp body, a leg assembly pivotally secured to the clamp body and a locking plate pivotally secured to the clamp body. In order to prevent the cross support members from sliding relative to one another, the leg assembly exerts force on the overlapping cross support members. The leg assembly may comprise a first leg pivotally secured to the clamp body, a plastic insert and a foot member. Alternatively, the leg assembly may comprise a first leg nestably secured to a second leg in order to increase the length of the leg assembly.

International Classification:

A47C 31/00

US Classification:

5 11, 5111, 5 21

Abstract:

Our invention is related to a pop-up bed frame. Aspects of our invention include a bed-frame positioning assembly for raising and lowering an upper frame in a controlled manner. A bed-frame positioning assembly generally includes a set of scissor arms that is operatively coupled to a biasing member. Force exerted on the set of scissor arms by the biasing member either opens or closes the set of scissor arms, thereby either raising or lowering an upper frame coupled thereto.

International Classification:

A47C 19/00

US Classification:

005201000, 005310000

Abstract:

A bed frame that can be assembled without the use of additional tools. The bed frame generally comprises a pair of spaced side rails, retainer brackets secured to each side rail, and cross support members extending between the side rails. Each retainer bracket has a base section for supporting one of the cross support members and an aperture extending through the base section. The apertures are aligned with threaded bores in the cross support members so that threaded portions of respective leg assemblies may be inserted through the apertures and used to secure the cross support members to the corresponding retainer brackets.
