Abstract
A modular bed frame has ladder-like side frames with upper and lower side rails, and ladder-like end frames with upper and lower rails. The side and end frames telescopingly attach to the ends of upper and lower rounded corner rails. The insides of the side frames carry tubular upright fittings for increasing vertical rigidity. These fittings also provide upwardly opening tubular sleeves that receive right angle corner connectors on the ends of spaced apart and parallel horizontal slats that traverse the bed frame from end to end when assembled by a user. Separate upright rigid legs with feet on the bottom are slidably attached to downwardly opening tubular sleeves on the underside of the assembled frame structure to elevate the assembled bed foundation above the floor.
Description
- This invention relates to foundations for use with mattresses in the bedding field, and more particularly, to a modular mattress-supporting foundation made of metal components easily assembled into a foundation which can replace the conventional frame and box spring assembly.
- Mattress-supporting foundations for conventional box springs are often made of wood frame members with a cloth outer cover. The conventional box springs are large and heavy. They require considerable storage space and therefore are expensive in stocking in inventory, especially in different sizes; and they have a high cost for transporting them from the factory to the customer or mattress manufacturer. Improvements are always sought in the expense of manufacturing, handling, assembling, and transporting bed foundations, and in the quality of the end product.
- The present invention provides a metal bed foundation assembly manufactured in modular form and capable of being transported and assembled by the customer. The assembly components can be manufactured at a reasonably low cost while providing a high quality end product. The assembly avoids the retailer's cost of stocking conventional fully assembled box springs in inventory and the related higher cost of transporting them to the retailer or the user.
- Briefly, one embodiment of this invention provides a metal foundation assembly for a bed which comprises a modular system of tubular metal components which are easily assembled into the finished foundation. The components of the assembly are interconnected by slidably attaching them with end connectors that engage corresponding connector sleeves so that the entire foundation, in one embodiment, can be fully assembled without conventional fasteners.
- One embodiment of the invention provides a modular foundation assembly having ladder-like side frames with upper and lower side rails and ladder-like end frames with upper and lower end rails. Separate corner connectors are attached to the ends of the side frames and end frames at the corners of the assembled foundation. The corner connectors, in one embodiment, include upper and lower corner rails each formed with a right angle bend. The side and end frames slidably attach to the corresponding tubular fittings at the ends of upper and lower corner rails. The assembled corner connectors hold the side frames and end frames together to form a rectangular box-frame structure. The insides of the side frames carry tubular fittings formed as slat connector sleeves for connection to slats assembled between the side frames. The slat connector sleeves receive corner connectors on the ends of spaced apart slats that traverse the width of the box-frame structure when assembled by the user. The slats extend parallel to one another, perpendicular to the side frames, to provide lateral rigidity between the side frames. Elevating feet can be positioned at least near the four corners of the assembled frame structure for elevating the assembled foundation above the floor. In one embodiment, the elevating feet having leg sections which are slidably connected to sleeve-like tubular fittings on the undersides of the side frames.

FIGS. 1 and 2 , a modular bed foundation assembly 10 includes left and right ladder-like side frames like end frames 16, a set of fourupper corner connectors 18, and a similar set of fourlower corner connectors 20. The corner connectors are releasably secured to corresponding upper and lower end portions of the side frames and adjacent upper and lower end portions of the end frames at the four corners of the assembled foundation. The upper corner connectors each releasably connect a corresponding upper end portion of one of the side frames with an upper end portion of an adjacent end frame. Similarly, the lower corner connectors each releasably connect a corresponding lower end portion of one of the side frames with a lower end portion of an adjacent end frame. The corner connectors are assembled at the four corners of the foundation to rigidly hold the right andleft side frames end frames 16 in a fixed longitudinally spaced apart position, parallel to one another, at opposite ends of the assembled rectangular box-frame foundation assembly. - The left and right side frames each include corresponding upper and lower elongated tubular rigid
metal side members metal bracing members 26 are affixed in upright positions and extend parallel to one another to support the upper and lower tubular side members of each side frame. The first rigidmetal bracing members 26 are preferably tubular metal frame members welded at opposite ends to the upper and lower side members. - The left and
right end frames 16 each comprise corresponding upper and lower elongated tubular rigidmetal end members metal bracing members 32 are rigidly affixed in upright positions extending parallel to one another for supporting the upper and lower tubular end members of each end frame. The second rigidmetal bracing members 32 are preferably tubular metal frame members welded at opposite ends to the upper and lower end members. - Referring to
FIG. 3 , thecorner connectors 18 each comprise a rigid metal frame member which is tubular in cross-section and bent into a generally right angle configuration, with a rounded central section. The straight end portions of the tubular corner connectors are elongated and extend along mutually perpendicular axes to form the right angle configuration. A rigid metal open endedconnector sleeve 34 is rigidly affixed to one end of each corner connector. A separate openended connector sleeve 36 is rigidly affixed to the other end of each corner connector. Theconnector sleeves corner sleeve 34 matches the rectangular exterior configuration of the upper orlower side members lower end members FIG. 1 , hold the side frames parallel to one another and hold the end frames parallel to one another to form the rectangular box-frame profile of the assembled foundation. -
FIG. 4 illustrates a partly assembled form of the foundation in which eachend frame 16 has four corner connectors releasably attached to the upper and lower ends of the end frame, each making a right angle bend so that theopen sleeve portions 34 of the corner connectors face in the direction to receive the end portions of correspondingside frame members - The foundation assembly further includes a plurality of longitudinally spaced apart tubular
rigid metal slats 38 extending parallel to one another between the left and right side frames. Each slat includes sideframe connection members 40 at opposite ends of each slat projecting in the same general direction away from the slat. The slats and theconnection members 40 are preferably rectangular in cross-section. The sideframe connection members 40 extend perpendicular to the axis ofslat 38. - Referring to
FIG. 6 , each of the firstupright bracing members 26 carries a separate rigid tubular metalslat connector sleeve 42 preferably having a rectangular cross-sectional configuration. The slat connector sleeves open upwardly and are shaped and sized to slidably receive the rectangular shaped and downwardly projecting sideframe connector members 40 at the ends of theslats 38. Thus, in assembling the foundation, separate rigidslat connector sleeves 42, which are affixed to the first bracing members, slidably receive corresponding ones of the sideframe connection members 40 on the slats. The assembled slats are held in fixed spaced apart positions extending parallel to one another between both sides of the side frames and along the length of the box-frame formed by the side and end frames of the assembled foundation. The assembled slats maintain the rigidity of the assembled foundation. - Referring to
FIG. 7 , selected ones of the firstupright bracing members 26 also carry a rigid tubular metalleg connector sleeve 44 having a rectangular cross-sectional configuration. The leg connector sleeves open downwardly to slidably receive separateelevating feet 47 for holding the foundation, in its assembled form, elevated above the floor. The elevating feet comprise a separate upright rigidmetal leg member 46 of rectangular cross-sectional configuration rigidly affixed to a horizontally extendingfoot section 48. Theseparate leg connectors 44 are configured to slidably receive corresponding ones of theleg members 46 for rigidly maintaining the leg members in a fixed position to support the foundation above the floor. A stop (not shown) is located in each of theleg connectors 44 to engage the upper end of theleg 46 so that each of the leg portions of the elevating feet can be spaced a uniform distance above the floor when thelegs 46 are assembled in theleg connector sleeves 44. - Thus, the invention provides a modular foundation assembly having ladder-like side frames with upper and lower side rails and ladder-like end frames with upper and lower end rails. The side and end frames slidably attach to the ends of the upper and lower rounded right angle corner rails. The assembled corner connectors hold the side frames and end frames together to form a rectangular box-frame structure. The insides of the side frames carry tubular fittings that provide connector sleeves that receive corner connectors on the ends of spaced apart slats that traverse the width of the box-frame when assembled by the user. The slats extend parallel to one another, perpendicular to the side frames, to provide lateral rigidity between the side frames. The elevating feet can be positioned at least near the four corners of the assembled frame structure. The leg portions of the feet are slidably connected to the socket-like openings in tubular fittings on the undersides of the side frames. The feet elevate the assembled foundation above the floor.
- The following description provides one example of carrying out the principles of the invention. The components of the foundation assembly can be provided so as to form either twin, full or double, queen and king size bed foundations.
- Full, double and twin size foundations are approximately 5 to 6 feet long, queen size is approximately 6 to 6½ feet long, and king size is approximately 7 feet long. In each instance the slats (and their related bracing members on the side frames) have approximately 12 inch spacing. The frame members described below are preferably made of tubular steel, rectangular in cross-section, preferably made from 16 to 19 gauge steel.
- The tubular upper and
lower side members - The upper and
