Abstract
Abstract A bed base for supporting a box spring which includes a downwardly projecting support member extending substantially along the longitudinal centerline thereof and normally having a mattress resting thereon. The bed base includes a pair of side panels and a pair of end panels. The side panels are shorter than the box spring is long, and the end panels are shorter than the box spring is wide. The side and end panels are equal in width and span a distance or enclose the space between the box spring and the floor. The opposite ends of the side panels include vertical tongue structure and the opposite ends of the end panels are provided with vertical grooves for receiving the tongues of the side panels to rigidly and removably lock the side panels to the end panels, thus establishing a continuous ledge for restingly supportint the box spring with the perimeter thereof projecting outwardly from the bed base. The box spring is precluded from side to side shifting by providing a groove in each of the end panels for receiving the downwardly projecting support member.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
171 words
In combination, a box spring, a mattress supported upon said box spring, a bed base for resting upon a supporting surface to support said box spring a distance there-above, said bed base comprising a pair of spaced apart side panels having lengths thereto which are shorter than is the length of said box spring, a pair of spaced apart end panels having lengths thereto which are shorter than is the width of said box spring, said side and end panels having widths thereto which spans the distance between said box spring and the supporting surface, means for rigidly and removably locking said end panels to said side panels with the upper surfaces of said end and side panels establishing a continuous ledge restingly supporting said box spring, said box spring including a downwardly projecting support member extending substantially along the longitudinal center line thereof, and the upper surfaces of said pair of end panels respectively being provided with notches disposed intermediate the ends thereof receiving remote portions of said support member.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
171 words
In combination, a box spring, a mattress supported upon said box spring, a bed base for resting upon a supporting surface to support said box spring a distance there-above, said bed base comprising a pair of spaced apart side panels having lengths thereto which are shorter than is the length of said box spring, a pair of spaced apart end panels having lengths thereto which are shorter than is the width of said box spring, said side and end panels having widths thereto which spans the distance between said box spring and the supporting surface, means for rigidly and removably locking said end panels to said side panels with the upper surfaces of said end and side panels establishing a continuous ledge restingly supporting said box spring, said box spring including a downwardly projecting support member extending substantially along the longitudinal center line thereof, and the upper surfaces of said pair of end panels respectively being provided with notches disposed intermediate the ends thereof receiving remote portions of said support member.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
50 words
The combination of claim 1 in which said means for rigidly and removably locking said end panelS to said side panels includes tongue and groove structure with the opposite ends of said end panels being provided with said grooves and the opposite ends of said side panels including said tongues.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The combination of claim 2 in which said tongue and grooves extend vertically and respectively have lengths thereto which are slightly shorter than are the widths of said end and side panels.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
233 words
In combination, a box spring including a downwardly projecting support member extending along the longitudinal axis thereof, a mattress supported upon said box spring, a bed base for resting upon a supporting surface and to support said box spring a distance thereabove, said bed base comprising a pair of spaced apart side panels having lengths thereto which are shorter than the length of said box spring, a pair of spaced apart end panels having lengths thereto which are shorter than the width of said box spring, said side and end panels having widths thereto which are shorter than the width of said box spring, said side and end panels spanning the distance between said box spring and the supporting surface, and the opposite ends of said side panels including tapered tongue structure, the opposite ends of said end panels being provided with tapered grooves respectively receiving said tongues to rigidly and removably lock said side panels to said end panels with the upper surfaces thereof establishing a continuous ledge restingly supporting said box spring, said tongue and grooves extending vertically and terminating downwardly a distance above the supporting surface, each of said end panels having the upper surface thereof provided with a notch intermediate said grooves, said notches respectively receiving opposite end portions of said downwardly projecting support member of said box spring to prevent side to side shifting of said box spring.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
233 words
In combination, a box spring including a downwardly projecting support member extending along the longitudinal axis thereof, a mattress supported upon said box spring, a bed base for resting upon a supporting surface and to support said box spring a distance thereabove, said bed base comprising a pair of spaced apart side panels having lengths thereto which are shorter than the length of said box spring, a pair of spaced apart end panels having lengths thereto which are shorter than the width of said box spring, said side and end panels having widths thereto which are shorter than the width of said box spring, said side and end panels spanning the distance between said box spring and the supporting surface, and the opposite ends of said side panels including tapered tongue structure, the opposite ends of said end panels being provided with tapered grooves respectively receiving said tongues to rigidly and removably lock said side panels to said end panels with the upper surfaces thereof establishing a continuous ledge restingly supporting said box spring, said tongue and grooves extending vertically and terminating downwardly a distance above the supporting surface, each of said end panels having the upper surface thereof provided with a notch intermediate said grooves, said notches respectively receiving opposite end portions of said downwardly projecting support member of said box spring to prevent side to side shifting of said box spring.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
19 words
The combination of claim 4 in which said side and end panels are integrally formed respectively from polystyrene plastic.
