Abstract: A foldable sawhorse is disclosed having a main set of leg members with a beam across the upper edges thereof, and a shorter, supporting set of leg members pivotally secured to the main leg members. Strut members extend between the main and supporting legs on each side of the sawhorse, the struts being foldable as the sets of leg members are folded together, the legs and struts assuming a nesting relationship for presenting a thin, folded profile for storage and/or transport. The center support beam is vertically aligned with the midpoint of the open legs to evenly distribute the weight between the uneven length sets of leg members.

Abstract: A headboard frame supports juxtaposed headrest assemblies recessed in a cavity of the frame and moveable upwardly out of the cavity. Constant tension spring mechanisms counterbalance each headrest assembly. Each headrest assembly includes a moveable standard slideable in the frame and a headrest pivotable carried on the standard. A latch locks the standard at prescribed heights.

Abstract: An improved articulated bed having a main mattress support, a main mattress on the top of the support and having a cavity in which an auxiliary mattress is removably positioned, the auxiliary mattress having a pair of slots formed in its upper surface sized to receive human knees and padding material aggregately sized to occupy the slots. Another embodiment comprises the mattress support having a cavity in alignment with the main mattress cavity and in which an auxiliary mattress support is removably positioned. Heel support depressions are provided on the top surface of the mattress along with heel supporting inserts for the depressions to provide support for the user's heels in a variety of positions. Reinforcing means is provided within the mattress adjacent the mattress cavity. The mattress is secured to the support by means of snaps or projections in the support which engage the bottom surface of the mattress.

Abstract: A unitary inner spring or elastomer bed mattress is provided at its median plane with a wire reinforcing grid of selected rigidity. The grid spans substantially the entire area of the mattress in terms of its major surfaces. A marginal frame for the mattress can be employed in conjunction with the grid and the mattress may have a recess in one end thereof. The necessity for a separate box spring beneath the mattress is avoided.

Abstract: An articulated bed is disclosed comprising a main frame, an auxiliary frame, and means for adjusting the height of the auxiliary frame relative to the height of the main frame. An auxiliary mattress is supported by the auxiliary frame and a main mattress is supported by the main frame circumferentially about at least a portion of the auxiliary mattress.
