  • Patent number: 4106141
    Abstract: A bed frame having a novel leg structure. The bed frame includes a right angle side rail, and a cross rail pivotally connected to that side rail for swinging movement between a storage position in which the cross rail is oriented parallel to the side rail, and a bed support or use position in which the cross rail is oriented normal to the side rail. The novel leg structure includes, in preferred form, a leg member having a U-shaped cross section at the top end thereof, the leg member being fixed to the cross rail adjacent the cross rail's pivotal connection with the side rail. A latch tab is connected with the leg member's center web by a neck having a width less than the width of the latch tab, the latch tab being spaced above the leg member's top edge. The latch tab, neck and leg member's top edge cooperate to define two slots which open away from one another in generally mirror relation.
