20080222801 | Support frame for a bed & locking mechanism therefor - End portions of a pair of crossbar bed frame members are detachably connected by a locking mechanism including an arm attached by the pivot element to one frame member to rotate between a locked condition and an unlocked condition. One frame member has a first projection and the pivot element includes a second projection. A pair of elongated slots in the frame members receive the projections when the frame members are longitudinally oriented and the end portions are overlapping. The end portions have openings therein that are aligned when the end portions overlap. The arm has a portion that is inserted in the aligned openings when in the locked condition and withdrawn from the aligned openings to allow the frame members to be disconnected and separated when in the unlocked condition. | 09-18-2008 |
20080222802 | Bed frame & method of assembly - A support frame for a bed includes a pair of side rails having attached thereto a pair of cross bar segments each having an outer end including a wall portion comprising a malleable material. Upon assembly the outer ends of individual cross bar segments of one side rail are aligned with and connected to the outer ends of the individual cross bar segments of the other side rail by interlocking connector elements punch pressed in the malleable material of the wall portions. One connector element comprises a finger member projecting from the wall portion of one aligned and connected cross bar segment. The other connector element comprises a slot in the wall portion of the other aligned and connected cross bar segment that receives the finger member. | 09-18-2008 |
20090106897 | WHEEL MOUNTING DEVICE AND PLATE AND METHOD - A wheel-mounting device comprises a pair of attached plates each having a substantially flat surface. The flat surface of each plate has therein an elongated indentation including an inwardly projecting dimple element. The dimple elements hold in position a shaft of a wheel. The flat surfaces abut and the indentations are aligned and face each other to form a cavity with an open entryway that receives the shaft of the wheel. | 04-30-2009 |
20090113626 | Bed frame, plank, kit, and method - A kit contains disassembled bed frame components that upon assembly form the bed frame. The components include a pair of planks, each plank comprising a plurality of boards that upon being oriented from end-to-end have abutting ends detachably connected together by interlocking components, including male and a female element. The interlocking components engage by insertion of the male element into the female element and sliding abutting ends past each other in one direction. The interlocking components disengage by sliding them relative to each other in a reverse direction. | 05-07-2009 |
20090113627 | Connector device, bed upright and frame combination and method of use - A device for connecting a bed frame to a bed upright comprises one component adapted to be attached to a portion of the bed upright in a substantially vertical orientation and the other component adapted to be attached to a portion of the bed frame in a substantially vertical orientation. Each component has a predetermined configuration to enable the components to disengage and engage in an interlocking mating relationship by sliding movement relative to each other. | 05-07-2009 |
20090133191 | Center support for bed frame, bed frame and assembly method - A bed frame comprises a center support, a pair of extender bars, each extender bar having a pair of connector elements, a pair of rail members, and two pairs of cross-arms. A cross-arm in each pair of cross-arms is attached at one end to one rail member and has at a free end adapted to be attached to one end of an extender bar. Individual extender bars connect together the free ends of one pair of cross-arms attached to one rail member to the free ends of the other pair of cross-arms attached to the other rail member. The center support has opposed ends each including a pair of notches. The notches are sized and shaped to engage and interlock with the pair of connector elements in an extender bar upon assembly. | 05-28-2009 |
20100031440 | Bed base - A bed base comprises a rectangular support having side members connected at corners by a corner connector assembly including a locator element in a leg of a plate member that interacts with a locator element in a side member. A cross-rail assembly includes an elongated bar member that fits in notches in upper edge sections of opposed side members and a pair of leg members near opposed ends the elongated bar member pass through the notches upon attaching the cross-rail assembly to the rectangular support. | 02-11-2010 |
