Abstract: A bed frame especially suitable for a hospital bed construction. The bed rails are provided by one or more extruded metal channel members connected into a familiar rectangular frame. Extruded metal corner brackets are riveted to the corners of the frame. The corner brackets have integral extensions and formations which serve a variety of functions such as for supporting safety side rails and for the bed headboard and footboard members, standards for supporting patient treating equipment, among others. The bracket serves a dual function of strengthening and/or retaining the channel members in the rectangular frame formation and providing means for attaching a variety of different devices to the bed frame.
