Abstract: An expandable and collapsible support device for multiple use enables attaining an expanded open state for use or return to a compact closed state in mere seconds. The device includes an accordion-style frame that expands laterally from a compact closed state to an expanded open state for use, and a material support cover forming the top of the device and attachable to the frame to provide a support surface above ground level for the device.

Abstract: Disclosed are foldable bed frames and beds. A foldable bed frame includes longitudinal bars, supporting assemblies to support the longitudinal bars, and links to couple one or more supporting assemblies with the longitudinal bars. Each supporting assembly includes vertical and crossed bars. When the beds are unfolded and in use, the vertical bars support the longitudinal bars and bear majority of the load. As such, the bed frames and beds are stable and safe to use.

Abstract: A portable, reversibly-extensible hammock has a foldable structure for supporting a substantially planar support surface. The hammock can be folded for transportation or storage, and can be shifted to an extended configuration to create a rectangular structure similar to a cot or hammock frame. A dual-purpose tensioning strap joins the support surface to the foldable structure and increases the structural integrity of the structure by urging top portions of leg members toward a center point of the rectangular structure.

Abstract: An improved sleeping or camping cot construction is provided in which the end rails of the cot frame are pivotally mounted along their center along a channel member so that downward forces on the cot in its normal operating position improves the stability of the cot by forcing the end rails into engagement with the channel member. The channel member also encloses the pivot points of the end rails from inadvertent contact a user during the pivot operation of the end rails.

Abstract: A portable and collapsible cot structure comprises a fabric web, a frame, and a plurality of folding legs pivotally attached to the frame. The cot structure is collapsible to a bundled condition to minimize the amount of space taken up by the structure during storage and transportation. The cot structure includes at least one locking assembly pivotally connected to a leg assembly for maintaining the cot in an open, set-up condition, wherein the locking assembly must be unlocked before the cot structure can be collapsed. The locking assembly includes a first pedal for locking the assembly and a second pedal for unlocking the assembly. Preferably, a downward force can be applied to operate either pedal, thereby facilitating quick and easy set-up and break down of the cot structure without compromising safety, consuming too much time, or requiring undue effort.

Abstract: The invention envisions a multi-purpose expandable-collapsible frame apparatus that may be used as a bed frame. The apparatus utilizes a telescoping central support apparatus designed such that when a force is applied to the central support apparatus a plurality of floating arm assemblies expand outwardly from the central support apparatus. Furthermore, support straps and a covering member add stability and utility to the frame apparatus.

Abstract: A portable child bed in the nature of a cot. The cot includes a frame having a network of interconnected legs such that the frame is collapsible and expandable between open and closed configurations. The frame includes a stop to halt the expansion of the frame at a certain position. Flexible bedding depends from the frame in the nature of a hammock, with the flexible bedding being anchored at six positions about the frame. The frame of interconnected legs includes legs that are shaped to be out-of-the-way of the depending flexible bedding such that a child rests on the flexible bedding, not on the frame. Flexible straps run on an underside of the bedding and run to and between hubs of the frame.

Abstract: A collapsible and portable baby changing table has a collapsible frame and a changing pad. The collapsible frame has two sets of opposing sides. Each side has at least one pair of crossing support beams. The pair of crossing support beams is hinged where the crossing support beams cross. The crossing support beams have top ends and bottom ends. The collapsible frame is configured to be folded to a first position and unfolded to a second position. The changing pad is supported by the collapsible frame. When the collapsible frame is unfolded to the second position, the changing pad is contoured to cradle a baby's body when the baby is placed on the changing pad.

Abstract: A collapsible bed frame includes a first cross unit including a first link member pivotally coupled to a second link member at a first pivot point, and a support unit operatively coupled to the first cross unit. The support unit includes a first slider that is slidably coupled to the first link member. A first support member has a first end that is pivotally coupled to the second link member and an opposing second end that is pivotally coupled to the first slider. A second slider is slidably coupled to the first support member. A second support member has a first end that is pivotally coupled to at least one of the second link member and a connector operatively coupled to the second link member, and an opposing second end that is pivotally coupled to the second slider.

Abstract: An apparatus or support having a hammock member, a hammock support member, and a frame that can be disposed in an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The hammock member has a first end portion connected to a first end portion of the frame and a second end portion connected to a second end portion of the frame. The hammock support member extends from a first side portion of the hammock member to a second side portion of the hammock member.

Abstract: Four cross member struts, two on each long side of an open hammock frame, permit full collapse of the frame for closure and transportation when the cross member struts are composed of an unbroken tube pivotally connected with a second tube divided into two overlapping sections.

Abstract: An apparatus or support having a hammock member, a hammock support member, and a frame that can be disposed in an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The hammock member has a first end portion connected to a first end portion of the frame and a second end portion connected to a second end portion of the frame. The hammock support member extends from a first side portion of the hammock member to a second side portion of the hammock member.

Abstract: An apparatus or support having a frame that can be disposed in an expanded configuration and a collapsed configuration. The frame includes a first end portion, a second end portion, a first side portion, a second side portion, and several connectors. Each of the connectors are disposable at a first position when the frame is in its expanded configuration and are disposable at a second position when the frame is in its collapsed configuration.

Abstract: A collapsible bed frame (18) for supporting a mattress, the collapsible frame (18) having a number of frame members (32). A number of pivots (34) connect pairs of the frame members (32) at the midpoints of the frame members (32) to make a number of scissor pairs (35). Pivot assemblies (36) pivotally attach the upper ends of the frame members (32) to upper connector assemblies (40), and pivotally attach lower ends of the frame members (32) to feet (38), thus connecting the scissor pairs (35) to form an extended scissors-frame assembly (33). The upper connector assemblies (40) form a support surface for a mattress.
