Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
117 words
A universal sleep system support readily collapsible for storage and transportation, and easily assembled, said support comprising: a plurality of readily assembled modules, each of said modules including: (1) a plurality of corner pieces respectively having a planar surface and a leg structure extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom, (2) a plurality of channel units respectively having mating members in slideable association for adjusting the length of said channel units, and (3) means for receiving and holding said channel units in fixed relationship to said corner pieces; and means for selectively locking assembled modules together into a unitary construction so that, upon adjustment of said channel members, said modules provide support for any type and common size sleep system.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
117 words
A universal sleep system support readily collapsible for storage and transportation, and easily assembled, said support comprising: a plurality of readily assembled modules, each of said modules including: (1) a plurality of corner pieces respectively having a planar surface and a leg structure extending substantially perpendicularly therefrom, (2) a plurality of channel units respectively having mating members in slideable association for adjusting the length of said channel units, and (3) means for receiving and holding said channel units in fixed relationship to said corner pieces; and means for selectively locking assembled modules together into a unitary construction so that, upon adjustment of said channel members, said modules provide support for any type and common size sleep system.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
42 words
The invention of claim 1 wherein said mating members of said channel units include a first angle iron having lips respectively extending from the longitudinal portions thereof, and a second angle iron slideably received between said lips of said first angle iron.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
31 words
The invention of claim 2 wherein said means for receiving and holding said channel unit include a plurality of tabs extending from said planar surface of each of said corner pieces.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
75 words
The invention of claim 3 wherein a longitudinal portion of said first angle iron of a channel unit is received by a tab of one corner piece and held thereto, and a longitudinal portion of said second angle iron of such channel unit is received by a tab of a second corner piece and held thereto, whereby relative sliding adjustment of said angle irons establishes the distance at which such corner pieces are spaced apart.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
21 words
The invention of claim 1 further including adjustable means for interconnecting selected oppositely disposed corner pieces to provide structural rigidity therebetween.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
33 words
The invention of claim 1 further including a plurality of panels connected to said assembled modules, said panels having a preselected external design to give said sleep system support a desired finished appearance.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
41 words
The invention of claim 6 wherein said leg structures of said respective corner pieces each include a plurality of tabs extending outwardly therefrom and said panels include a plurality of brackets respectively receivable by said tabs to secure said panels thereto.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
49 words
The invention of claim 7 wherein each of said leg structures is located inwardly of the marginal perimeter of the corner piece with which it is associated, whereby said leg structures are recessed with respect to the marginal perimeter of said corner pieces to provide a suitable toe kick.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
39 words
The invention of claim 6 wherein each of said panels includes a plurality of sections interconnected for slideable movement to enable such panel to be adjusted to the size of the sleep system support with which it is associated.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
43 words
The invention of claim 6 wherein at least one of said panels has an opening defined therein, and means attached to said panel for receiving and guiding a drawer assembly so as to adapt said sleep system support to provide for under-bed storage.
