Abstract:
1. A foldable bed frame comprising: first and second longitudinal beams spaced apart and parallel to each other, each longitudinal beam formed by first and second longitudinal bars each having a first end and a second end, adjacent first ends of each first and second longitudinal bars pivotally connected together by a first pivotal coupling member; first and second transverse beams spaced apart and parallel to each other, each transverse beam formed by a pair of transverse bars having a first end and a second end, each transverse bar formed by a first adjustable member adjustably coupled with a second adjustable member, adjacent first ends of each pair of transverse bars pivotally connected together by a second pivotal coupling member, opposing transverse bar second ends of each transverse beam pivotally connected to longitudinal bar second ends of opposing longitudinal beams by a third pivotal coupling member to form a generally rectangular frame forming an inner space therebetween when the bed frame is in an open configuration; a plurality of legs, wherein each of the plurality of legs is couple to a corresponding lower side of each longitudinal bar proximate the second ends and extending downward therefrom; and at least one headboard plate assembly having a back plate and a side plate rigidly connected together at a substantial right angle, the at least one headboard plate assembly pivotally coupled to the second end of at least one longitudinal bar and pivotable about a transverse axis normal to side surfaces of the at least one longitudinal bar; wherein the side plate comprises an elongated channel having opposing ends, the channel formed with a uniform width, each channel end having a substantially circular aperture integrally formed with the channel and having a diameter greater than the width of the channel, wherein a locking device having an inner end and an outer end extends through opposing side surfaces of the at least one longitudinal bar second end and through the channel, the locking member outer end comprising an inner portion having a diameter substantially similar to the channel width and an outer portion having a diameter greater than the channel width such that the headboard plate assembly is pivotable from an operating state when the locking member outer portion is positioned within one channel end to a folded state when the locking member outer portion is positioned within the opposing channel end.
