  • Patent number: 8806677
    Abstract: A pedestal bed base uses four corner assemblies to connect side and end members without the need for fasteners or tools. Each corner assembly comprises only two plastic pieces which may be secured to the side and end members of the pedestal bed base frame in a snap-fit manner and secured to each other. The corner assemblies enable a person to assemble the pedestal bed base quicker and less expensively than if such assembler had to use tools.

  • Patent number: 7917975
    Abstract: Our invention is related to a pop-up bed frame. Aspects of our invention include a bed-frame positioning assembly for raising and lowering an upper frame in a controlled manner. A bed-frame positioning assembly generally includes a set of scissor arms that is operatively coupled to a biasing member. Force exerted on the set of scissor arms by the biasing member either opens or closes the set of scissor arms, thereby either raising or lowering an upper frame coupled thereto.

  • Patent number: 7503529
    Abstract: A clamp assembly for securing a pair of overlapping cross support members extending between two opposed side rails of a bed frame is provided. The clamp assembly includes a unitary clamp body, a leg assembly pivotally secured to the clamp body and a locking plate pivotally secured to the clamp body. In order to prevent the cross support members from sliding relative to one another, the leg assembly exerts force on the overlapping cross support members. The leg assembly may comprise a first leg pivotally secured to the clamp body, a plastic insert and a foot member. Alternatively, the leg assembly may comprise a first leg nestably secured to a second leg in order to increase the length of the leg assembly.

  • Patent number: 7437783
    Abstract: A bed frame that can be assembled without the use of additional tools. The bed frame generally comprises a pair of spaced side rails, retainer brackets secured to each side rail, and cross support members extending between the side rails. Each retainer bracket has a base section for supporting one of the cross support members and an aperture extending through the base section. The apertures are aligned with threaded bores in the cross support members so that threaded portions of respective leg assemblies may be inserted through the apertures and used to secure the cross support members to the corresponding retainer brackets.
