Patent ID: 7866200

Claim:
A method of making an elongated pin channel that supports a bed frame comprising the steps of: providing a sheet material having two elongated planar outer sections spaced from each other by an elongated planar web section; forming at least one truncated conical boss in each outer section by drawing a portion of the sheet material normally from the surface of the sheet wherein the at least one truncated conical boss has a distal edge; and folding the two planar outer sections at right angles relative to the planar web section so the planar outer sections are spaced from and parallel to each other, wherein the distal edge of at least one boss in one outer section abuts the distal edge of at least one boss in the other outer section to form a support pin between the spaced outer sections; whereby when the elongated pin channel is mounted to a bed post by way of the planar web section, a bed frame may be hung on the formed support pin within the parallel outer sections.
