ABSTRACT:
A bed frame having a novel leg structure. The bed frame includes a right angle side rail, and a cross rail pivotally connected to that side rail for swinging movement between a storage position in which the cross rail is oriented parallel to the side rail, and a bed support or use position in which the cross rail is oriented normal to the side rail. The novel leg structure includes, in preferred form, a leg member having a U-shaped cross section at the top end thereof, the leg member being fixed to the cross rail adjacent the cross rail's pivotal connection with the side rail. A latch tab is connected with the leg member's center web by a neck having a width less than the width of the latch tab, the latch tab being spaced above the leg member's top edge. The latch tab, neck and leg member's top edge cooperate to define two slots which open away from one another in generally mirror relation. The use, and as the cross rail is swung from the storage attitude to the use attitude, the side rail's horizontal web is received in one of the slots, i.e., the side rail's web is located between the latch tab and the leg's top edge. This supports the cross rail relative to the side rail when the bed frame is erected. The same leg member may be mounted to a cross rail on either end of that cross rail, i.e., the same leg member structure may be used at either of the bed frame's two corners defined by that cross rail without regard to left hand side or right hand side of the bed frame, because of the two slot structure.
