Claim:
1. A bedding gripper assembly for securing bedding to a bed comprising: a frame comprising a substantially J-shaped portion connected to a vertical plate portion so as to form a gap therebetween; an eccentric locking cam pivotally mounted to the substantially J-shaped portion with a pivot pin, the eccentric locking cam being pivotable between a first position and a second position, wherein at the first position the eccentric locking cam is configured to not contact and not secure bedding and at the second position the eccentric locking cam is configured to directly contact and secure the bedding between the eccentric locking cam and the vertical plate portion of the frame; wherein in the first position a tail of the eccentric locking cam is positioned at an acute angle from a vertical surface of the substantially J-shaped portion of the frame and in the second position the tail of the eccentric locking cam extends in a plane substantially parallel to the vertical plate portion and is substantially flush with the vertical surface of the substantially J-shaped portion of the frame; wherein the vertical surface of the substantially J-shaped portion of the frame intersects with an inclined surface of the substantially J-shaped portion to form an intersection and in the second position a distal end of the tail of the eccentric locking cam is positioned proximate to the intersection; wherein the bedding gripper assembly further comprises a pair of fasteners extending through the vertical plate portion and configured to mount the bedding gripper assembly to a box spring or a stationary component of a bed.
