Bedstead Braces Patents (Class 5/305)
  • Patent number: 11419429
    Abstract: An adjustable bed frame includes a frame, a front support unit connected to the front end of the frame, and a rear support unit connected to the rear end of the frame. The front support unit includes a first top connected to the front end of the frame, and a first bottom contacting a first plane. The rear support unit includes a second top connected to the rear end of the frame, and a second bottom contacting a second plane. An activation device is connected between the rear support unit and the frame. The activation device drives the rear support unit or the second bottom to move or rotate relative to the frame to change the shortest distance between the second bottom and the frame, and to change the distance between the frame and the second plane. The inclination between the frame and the first and second planes is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 11076704
    Abstract: A motorized bed includes a bed frame, a foot rest, a footrest actuator, a backrest, a backrest actuator, and a linkage part. The bed frame includes a first cross bar and a second cross bar. The footrest is rotatably mounted to the bed frame. The footrest actuator is mounted between the footrest and the first cross bar and configured to drive the footrest to rotate relative to the bed frame. The backrest is rotatably mounted to the bed frame. The backrest actuator is mounted between the backrest and the second cross bar and configured to drive the backrest to rotate relative to the bed frame. The linkage part is fixedly connected between the first cross bar and the second cross bar such that a force introduced by either of the footrest motor and the backrest motor is supported by both of the first cross bar and the second cross bar.

  • Patent number: 10939771
    Abstract: A bedstead includes a frame with first and second lateral bars and first and second longitudinal bars connected to each other at their adjacent ends. The bedstead also includes an interior support disposed in the interior defined by the frame when the bedstead is in the unfolded state. The interior support includes a hub with a plurality of notches, and a plurality of connecting bars each having a first end portion pivotally connected with a notch of the hub and a second end portion removably connected with the frame.

  • Patent number: 10743673
    Abstract: A bedstead includes a frame, an interior support removably coupled with the frame, and outer legs supporting the frame when the bedstead is set up. The interior support includes an inner leg, first connectors disposed circumferentially around the inner leg and connecting bars. Each connecting bar has one end pivotally connected with the inner leg through a first connector, and the other end to be removably coupled with the frame. When in use, the first connector restricts the movement, in particular, the rotation of the connecting bar, and thus enhances the overall structural stability of the bedstead.

  • Patent number: 7690058
    Abstract: An adjustable bed frame assembly includes a clamp which fits with two aligned and overlapping frame rails, including horizontal and vertical legs of the frame rails, to enable relative adjustment of the frame rails and to fix the bed frame at a set dimension. A leg mount extends from the clamp with a structure for mounting a vertical leg for additional elevation and support of the bed frame. The vertical extent of the leg is also adjustable by interconnection with one or more extension pieces. The configuration of the clamp and the leg mount both stiffens the bed frame and provides a very rigid support member for the bed frame. The leg mount can be formed from a single piece of metal with an open seam, and the extension pieces can be formed from a single piece of metal with an open seam.

  • Patent number: 6839920
    Abstract: An adjustable locking mechanism incorporated in a bracket embracing laterially slidable first and second members, said mechanism being incorporated in the bracket and having a first element engaged with the bracket and a second element engaged with the first element and movable through both the first element and the bracket into engagement with the first member to force the first member into engagement with the second member to hold said first and second members in fixed lateral relationship to each other.

  • Publication number: 20040093670
    Abstract: A cross member that can be used with a bed frame or bed rails to provide support for a box spring and mattress. The cross member is attachable to the side rail of the bed by a snap-in system where the ends of the cross member are comprised of slide ends that interfit into receptacles located along the side rails. A leg is used to support a bed frame member that is self adjusting by a mechanism that can be unlocked by a person to drop the leg downwardly by gravity to contact the floor and is then lockable in that extended length.

  • Patent number: 6625827
    Abstract: A universal cross member that can be used with a bed frame or bed rails to provide support for a box spring and mattress. The universal cross member has a straight bar with telescoping ends so that the universal cross member can be used even where there are variances in the distance between the side rails and still be fitted to those side rails. A tensioning system is provided to add strength to the universal cross member to eliminate, in almost all instances, the need for some further support of the universal cross member from the floor, such as a caster or a glide. In the system, a tensioning bar has its ends affixed at or near the ends of the straight member and its center contacts a block at a finite distance from the straight member at or about the center of the straight member. By placing the tension bar in a predetermined tension, a force is created that acts through the block against the approximate center of the straight member.

  • Patent number: 6035467
    Abstract: A compact folding bed having a symmetry plane comprising a pair of symmetrical frames wherein each base support element is covered with filling materials and enveloped within a fabric or leather casing to also form the mattress of the folding bed. The folding bed fold outward with each frame joined together by a pivoting bracket connected to a flanged end portion of the middle leg of the folding frame. The bed is held at the unfolded position for use by clip wires and tension springs. One support structure attached to a lateral end of one frame serve both as a head board and a leg while a second support structure serve both as a foot board and another leg.

  • Patent number: 5544374
    Abstract: A leg set for a bed is provided by lengths of tubular material having ends at right angles to the centerline of the tube. The upper end of the tube length is notched so the vertically oriented supports for the bed can be slipped into the notches. The notches are deep enough, and the diameter of the tube is sufficient, to provide lateral stability. The vertically oriented supports may be the structural members of the box for a soft sided waterbed, may be supports for the deck of a full flotation waterbed, or may be a support for any other form of mattress.

  • Patent number: 4519107
    Abstract: A boxspring is provided with stop members for limiting the amount the springs therein can be compressed. The stop members may be light weight hollow cylindrical members fitted within or about a selected number of springs. Supporting braces having a height sufficient to prevent overstressing of the springs when compressed may also be employed. The braces also have the advantage of providing additional stiffness to the boxspring frame. Areas of the boxspring most vulnerable to damage are protected by selective positioning of the stop members.

  • 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.
