Claim 19

A box spring support frame as claimed in claim 15 wherein each said longitudinal and diagonal runner includes at least one of said legs connected thereto intermediate the ends thereof and said transverse runner includes a leg connected thereto between said hub and each end thereof.

Claim 20

A box spring support frame as claimed in claim 17 wherein each said leg defines a notch receiving said runner, and includes a contact surface in supporting contact with said runner.

Claim 21

A box spring support frame as claimed in claim 16 wherein each said runner includes an upper contact surface, said runners being formed such that said upper contact surfaces of the portions of said runners intermediate said portions adapted to be connected to said base frame and the portions connected to said hub are in supporting contact with the cross slats of the base frame.

Claim 22

A bed as claimed in claim 1 wherein said base frame defines longitudinal sides and transverse ends and said bed includes headboard mounting brackets connected to said base frame at one transverse end thereof, said brackets each include a planar flange underlying said base frame and secured thereto, and a planar flange generally perpendicular to said first flange, and disposed in spaced facing relation to said transverse end, said perpendicular planar flanges defining a plurality of elongated slots each including an enlarged bolt receiving opening, and carriage bolts, having head portions sized to pass through said enlarged opeNings of said slots and prevent passage through said slots, disposed in said slots and extending outwardly thereof away from said bed and being adapted to receive and retain said headboard.

Claim 23

A bed as claimed in claim 1 wherein said box spring includes longitudinal and transverse vertical side walls extending about the periphery of said base frame, said bed further including generally vertical decorative panels secured to said base frame in closely spaced overlying relation to side walls of said box spring, said panels including longitudinal panels overlying the longitudinal side walls of said box spring, at least one transverse end panel overlying at least one transverse side wall thereof, and corner sections connecting said longitudinal and transverse panels.

Claim 24

A bed as claimed in claim 21 wherein each said panel includes a plurality of brackets secured to a side thereof facing a side wall of said box spring, and hangers secured to said base frame slidably received within said brackets to connect said panels to said bed.
