Claim 3:
4. A bed and frame assembly which includes a slidable panel to assist with changing bed sheets or rotating a mattress, said assembly comprising:
a box being positionable on a horizontal support surface;
a pair of tracks, each of said tracks being removably disposed on said box;
a lid being slidably disposed on said box wherein said lid is configured to have a mattress being positioned thereon, said lid being positionable in a rust position having said lid closing said box wherein said lid is configured to facilitate said mattress to be employed for sleeping, said lid being positionable in a second position having said lid being displaced from said box wherein said lid is configured to facilitate sheets on the mattress to be changed;
a plurality of roller units, each of said roller units being disposed on said lid, each of said roller units rollably engaging a respective one of said tracks to facilitate said lid to be rolled between said first position and said second position;
a sliding unit being integrated into said box, said sliding unit being in mechanical communication with said lid, said sliding unit being actuatable in a closing condition for sliding said lid into said first position, said sliding unit being actuatable in an opening condition for sliding said lid into said second position;
wherein each of said tracks has a top section being perpendicularly oriented to a middle section, each of said tracks having an outer section being perpendicularly oriented to said top section such that said outer section is spaced from said middle section to define a box space between said outer section and said middle section, each of said tracks having a lower section being perpendicularly oriented with said middle section, said lower section extending in an opposite direction from said middle section with respect to said top section;
wherein said box has a bottom wall and a perimeter wall extending upwardly from said bottom wall, said perimeter wall having a front side, a back side, a first lateral side and a second lateral side, said perimeter wall having a top edge defining an opening into said box, said box including a support extending upwardly from a top surface of said bottom wall, said support being centrally positioned between said first lateral side and said second lateral side of said perimeter wall, said support being positioned closer to said back side than said front side of said perimeter wall, said support having a distal end with respect to said bottom wall;
wherein each of said tracks is positioned on a respective one of said first lateral side and said second lateral side of said perimeter wall of said box having said perimeter wall extending into said box space, said top section of each of said tracks resting on said top edge of said perimeter wall having said middle section of each of said tracks extending downwardly along an inside surface of said perimeter wall such that said lower section is oriented to lie on a horizontal plane, each of said tracks being elongated to extend substantially between said front side and said back side of said perimeter wall;
a screw having a first end, a second end and an outer surface extending between said first end and said second end, said outer surface being threaded;
a bearing being coupled to said back side of said perimeter wall of said box having said bearing being positioned inside of said box, said first end of said screw rotatably engaging said bearing;
a motor being positioned on said support extending upwardly from said bottom wall of said box, said second end of said screw being rotatably coupled to said motor, said motor being actuatable to rotate in a first direction or a second direction, said screw being rotated in an opening direction when said motor rotates in said first direction, said screw rotating in a closing direction when said motor rotates in said second direction; and
a collar having said screw extending through said collar such that said collar threadably engages said outer surface of said screw, said collar being coupled to a bottom surface of said lid.
