    Abstract: A unitary accessory control for a waterbed fixed to the waterbed frame. Within the unitary accessory control are such accessories as a pump for filling (emptying) the waterbed, a heater, a vibrator, a sound system and a mechanism to control the environment of the room in which the waterbed is located. The user can thus regulate to his taste, the temperature and degree of motion of his sleep surface, and even change these variables at will.

  • Patent number: 4103375
    Abstract: A modular decorative waterbed frame including a pair of side walls and a pair of end walls of uniform cross-sectional configuration. The uniformity of cross-section of the walls enables the walls to be produced by high volume production methods, and thence cut into different lengths for later assembly into frames of various sizes. The cross-section of the walls is in the shape of an I-beam. The upper and lower cross pieces of the I have opposing lips which form a support channel for decorative panels. The decorative panels, which may be configured to be compatible with any style or period of furniture, are fixed to the vertical portion of the I beam by any readily releasable fastener means. The side walls and end walls are interconnected by uniform corner members which also have decorative panels fixed thereto.
