ABSTRACT:
A bed frame having generally parallel side rails which can be laterally adjusted to fit standardized twin, full and queen size beds with each side rail including an inwardly extending end plate with each end plate being provided with an engager in the form of a hook plate having a pair of hooks along one vertical edge thereof for orientation in an upwardly opening position or a downwardly opening position to hook under the pins in the headboard to lift the headboard off the floor or to hook over the pins so that heavier headboards can rest on the floor. Each engager is provided with a vertical slot spaced from the hooks and the opposite vertical edge of the plate for receiving the end plate on the side rail to enable lateral adjustment of the engager in relation to the end plate and reversibility of the engager so that the hooks face upwardly or downwardly. Each of the end plates is provided with a pair of parallel slots to enable headboards which may or may not be predrilled and not slotted and pinned to be supported from the bed frame. The vertical slots in the engagers fit and slide over the entire end plate thereby providing easy attachment without measuring or guessing as to which slot the end plate fits into. A more stable arrangement is provided by the camming action of the pins engaging the hooks which pulls the full width and vertical length of the end plate on the side rail of the bed frame snugly against the leg of the headboard thereby providing a stable and rigid connection between the side rails and headboard. An engager-extender is provided to enable queen size bed frames to be connected with headboards which have the pins and slots spaced apart to receive a full size bed.
