Patent ID: 8800080

Claim:
An adjustable bed system, comprising: a first frame defining a head end and a foot end, the first frame being disposed within a plane; a second frame disposed atop and coupled to the first frame, the second frame including a plurality of sections, a first section fixedly secured to the first frame and positioned between the head and foot ends thereof, a second section pivotably coupled to the first section and positioned towards the head end of the first frame, and a third section pivotably coupled to the first section and positioned towards the foot end of the first frame; first and second leg assemblies, the first leg assembly disposed towards the head end of the first frame and the second leg assembly disposed towards the foot end of the first frame; first and second actuator assemblies, wherein: the first actuator assembly includes a first actuator and a first linkage, the first actuator coupled to the first frame and including a first arm and a first sleeve, the first arm telescopically translatable relative to the first sleeve along a first axis disposed in parallel orientation relative to the plane of the first frame, the first linkage coupled between the first arm and the second section of the second frame such that translation of the first arm relative to the first sleeve between a first retracted position and a first extended position for selectively pivoting the second section of the second frame relative to the first frame; and the second actuator assembly includes a second actuator and a second linkage, the second actuator coupled to the first frame and including a second arm and a second sleeve, the second arm telescopically translatable relative to the second sleeve along a second axis disposed in parallel orientation relative to the plane of the first frame, the second linkage coupled between the second arm and the third section of the second frame such that translation of the second arm relative to the second sleeve between a second retracted position and a second extended position for selectively pivoting the third section of the second frame relative to the first frame; a first actuator brace fixedly engaged to the first frame and depending therefrom, the first actuator brace defining a first lumen extending longitudinally therethrough in parallel orientation relative to the plane of the first frame, the first arm of the first actuator slidably disposed within the first lumen of the first actuator brace; and a second actuator brace fixedly engaged to the first frame and depending therefrom, the second actuator brace defining a second lumen extending longitudinally therethrough in parallel orientation relative to the plane of the first frame, the second arm of the second actuator slidably disposed within the second lumen of the second actuator brace.
