ABSTRACT:
A modular bed frame is disclosed which includes one or more pairs of complimentary side-rails, with attached cross-bars, that may be linked in a manner so as to support a plurality of box-spring and mattress sizes. The advantages of the present invention include an inventory reduction of different components than currently necessary, and elimination of a majority of separate fasteners. The bed frame incorporates an inverted L-shaped cross-section which permits a box-spring to be supported on a pair of bed frames attached side-by-side. Along the side-rails are disposed a set of flanges which are rotatable so as to enable side-by-side bed frames to be slidably attached to each other in one orientation, or inhibiting lateral movement of a box-spring in another orientation. Optionally, a sleeve demountably attaches a pair of cross-bars by a slidable pin, the cross-bars having multiple openings permitting the pin to secure the cross-bar pair so as to accommodate several different box-spring sizes in commercially available widths.
