Abstract
Abstract In a preferred embodiment, a bed-side foot-rest structure includes two elongated members separately mounted by upright bolts onto a side member of a bed frame, mounted for pivotal movement, distal ends of each of the two elongated members having mounted therebetween pivotally a foot-rest additional horizontal structure, the elongated members being horizontally extending and laterally horizontally pivotally mounted by the upright bolts such that when mounted, the foot-rest additional horizontal structure is collapsable to and extendable from beneath the side member of the bed frame, and when extended serves as a foot-rest for a person seated on a side of the bed.

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
265 words
A bed frame foot-rest device comprising in combination: an elongated member and a pivot means at a proximate end thereof for mounting the elongated member for horizontal pivotal movement of the elongated member, for the mounting pivotally of the elongated member on a horizontal bed-frame support, such that a distal opposite end of the elongated member is supportable of a person's foot when a person is sitting on a side of a bed, as a foot-rest, and an additional horizontally-extending structure continuous with and extending from said distal opposite end at substantially a right angle to a longitudinal axis of said elongated member such that the additional horizontally-extending structure is substantially parallel to a side of a bed when said pivot means is mounted on a side member of a horizontal bed-frame support, and there being two of said elongated members, the distal end of the two elongated members being attached to opposite ends of said additional horizontally-extending structure, one attached to one end thereof and the other attached to the other opposite end thereof, and there being two of said pivot means, one proximate end of one of said two elongated members being mounted by one of the two pivot means and the other proximate end of said two elongated members being mounted by the other remaining one of the two pivot means, said additional horizontally-extending structure being pivotally mounted onto each of said distal ends, such that the additional horizontally-extending structure is collapsible in parallel alignment beneath a side member of a horizontal bed-frame support on which the two pivot means are mountable.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
265 words
A bed frame foot-rest device comprising in combination: an elongated member and a pivot means at a proximate end thereof for mounting the elongated member for horizontal pivotal movement of the elongated member, for the mounting pivotally of the elongated member on a horizontal bed-frame support, such that a distal opposite end of the elongated member is supportable of a person's foot when a person is sitting on a side of a bed, as a foot-rest, and an additional horizontally-extending structure continuous with and extending from said distal opposite end at substantially a right angle to a longitudinal axis of said elongated member such that the additional horizontally-extending structure is substantially parallel to a side of a bed when said pivot means is mounted on a side member of a horizontal bed-frame support, and there being two of said elongated members, the distal end of the two elongated members being attached to opposite ends of said additional horizontally-extending structure, one attached to one end thereof and the other attached to the other opposite end thereof, and there being two of said pivot means, one proximate end of one of said two elongated members being mounted by one of the two pivot means and the other proximate end of said two elongated members being mounted by the other remaining one of the two pivot means, said additional horizontally-extending structure being pivotally mounted onto each of said distal ends, such that the additional horizontally-extending structure is collapsible in parallel alignment beneath a side member of a horizontal bed-frame support on which the two pivot means are mountable.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A bed frame foot-rest device of claim 1, in which said pivot means each include clamping structure detachably mountable onto a side member of a horizontal bed-frame support.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
61 words
A bed frame foot-rest device of claim 2 including a side member of a horizontal bed-frame support, and said pivot means each including clamping structure detachably mountable onto said side member, and the side member having a bolt-mountable aperture through a horizontal portion of the side member, with said bolt being mounted through said bolt-mountable aperture and secured by said nut.
