Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
268 words
A foldable bed comprising: a. a horizontal generally rectangular base frame having a pair of support legs adjacent each of the ends thereof; b. a pair of end frames each disposed at an opposite end of said base frame, each end frame including a pair of laterally spaced parallel posts and a cross member secured at its opposite ends to said posts adjacent one end of the posts; c. means pivotally connecting the posts of each end frame at their other ends to different ones of said legs at a respective end of said base frame on aligned horizontal axes extending transversely of the base frame for swinging movements of said end frames between folded inoperative horizontal positions in upwardly spaced relation to said base frame and vertically disposed operative positions; d. an elongated generally rectangular top frame disposed laterally between the posts of said end frames and adapted to be moved between an operative position overlying said cross members and an inoperative position closely overlying said base frame whereby, when said top frame is moved to its inoperative position, said end frames will be disposed in overlying relation to said top frame when moved to their folded inoperative positions; e. mounting means including said cross members, hooks and hook-receiving loops on respective ones of said posts and top frame, detachably securing said top frame to said end frames against relative longitudinal and lateral movements therebetween; f. brace means between said base frame and said end frames in said operative positions of the end frames; g. and individual body supporting means carried by said base and top frames.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
268 words
A foldable bed comprising: a. a horizontal generally rectangular base frame having a pair of support legs adjacent each of the ends thereof; b. a pair of end frames each disposed at an opposite end of said base frame, each end frame including a pair of laterally spaced parallel posts and a cross member secured at its opposite ends to said posts adjacent one end of the posts; c. means pivotally connecting the posts of each end frame at their other ends to different ones of said legs at a respective end of said base frame on aligned horizontal axes extending transversely of the base frame for swinging movements of said end frames between folded inoperative horizontal positions in upwardly spaced relation to said base frame and vertically disposed operative positions; d. an elongated generally rectangular top frame disposed laterally between the posts of said end frames and adapted to be moved between an operative position overlying said cross members and an inoperative position closely overlying said base frame whereby, when said top frame is moved to its inoperative position, said end frames will be disposed in overlying relation to said top frame when moved to their folded inoperative positions; e. mounting means including said cross members, hooks and hook-receiving loops on respective ones of said posts and top frame, detachably securing said top frame to said end frames against relative longitudinal and lateral movements therebetween; f. brace means between said base frame and said end frames in said operative positions of the end frames; g. and individual body supporting means carried by said base and top frames.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
70 words
The foldable bed defined in claim 1, in further combination with an intermediate rectangular frame generally similar to said top frame, support means comprising a plurality of hooks and cooperating hook receiving loops on respective ones of said intermediate frame and said posts detachably securing said intermediate frame to said end frames in an operative position intermediate said top and base frames, and body supporting means on said intermediate frame.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
86 words
The foldable bed defined in claim 2, in which said top and intermediate frames are disposed laterally inwardly of the posts of said end frames and movable into horizontally disposed stacked relationship on said base frame when detached from said end frames, the pivotal connections of said posts to said legs being upwardly spaced from said base frame and at an elevation wherein said end frames will be disposed in overlying engagement with the uppermost one of said rectangular frames when disposed in said stacked relationship.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
31 words
The foldable bed defined in claim 2, in which said top and intermediate frames include pairs of handle members at each of the opposite ends of the top and intermediate frames.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
81 words
The foldable bed defined in claim 4, in further combination with locking means for releasably locking each of said posts to its respective leg against pivotal movement relative thereto when said end frames are moved to said operative positions thereof, said locking means comprising locking pins, each of said legs and its respective post having openings therethrough and moved into alignment, when said end frames are moved to their operative positions, for reception of a respective one of said locking pins.
