Patent ID: 7437783

Claim:
A bed frame assembly, comprising: a pair of spaced apart, tubular side rails aligned substantially parallel to each other, each side rail having a triangular cross-sectional configuration; a head board support bracket coupled to an end of each side rail; at least one substantially vertically disposed mattress tab coupled to each side rail, the mattress tabs being adapted to retain a box spring therebetween; a U-shaped open top retainer bracket fixedly secured to each side rail, each retainer bracket having a substantially horizontally disposed base section extending inwardly from a corresponding side rail, an aperture extending through the base section, and opposed side walls extending upwardly from the base section of each retainer bracket, said opposed sidewalls extending inwardly from a vertical section of the corresponding side rail along a substantial portion of the base section of the retainer bracket; a rectangular tubular cross support member perpendicularly extending between the side rails and supported atop the base section of a pair of the retainer brackets and between said opposed side walls so as to position a top surface of said cross support member in substantially the same horizontal plane as a top surface of each side rail, the cross support member having threaded bores aligned with the apertures of the pair of retainer brackets; and leg assemblies securing the cross member to the retainer brackets, each leg assembly comprising: a support leg having a threaded projection on one end extending through an aperture in the base section of a retainer bracket and engaging the corresponding threaded bore in a cross support member to secure a cross member in an assembled relationship to a retainer bracket and to a cross rail, such assembled relationship being established by hand rotation of the support leg and its threaded projection into a threaded bore in a cross support member; and a caster coupled to the support leg at an end opposite the threaded projection.
