a slot in the first frame for insertion of the mounting tab of the guardrail into the first frame for pivoting movement of the guardrail relative to the first frame between an upright guard position wherein the guardrail is angularly oriented relative to the first frame and a nested position wherein the guardrail is in flush abutment with the first frame.
2. The foldable bed as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the foldable bed is mounted to a supporting vertical wall.
3. The foldable bed as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the foldable bed is moveable between a storage position pivoted vertically alongside the supporting vertical wall and a sleeping position pivoted horizontally from the supporting vertical wall.
4. The foldable bed as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mounting tab of the guardrail and the slot of the first frame are cooperatively configured for attachment of the guardrail to the first frame and detachment of the guardrail from the first frame.
5. The foldable bed as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the foldable bed has two guardrails.
6. The foldable bed as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the foldable bed has three guardrails.
7. The foldable bed as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the guardrail has two mounting tabs.
8. The foldable bed as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the foldable bed has two slots in the first frame.
9. The foldable bed as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the foldable bed has four slots in the first frame.
10. The foldable bed as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the foldable bed has six slots in the first frame.
11. A bunk bed comprising:
an upper frame, foldable between a sleeping position and a storage position;
a lower frame, foldable between a sleeping position and a storage position;
a removable guardrail, of a size sufficient to prevent a user of the bed from rolling or falling out from the bed, on the upper frame having a mounting tab; and
a slot in the upper frame for insertion of the mounting tab of the guardrail into the upper frame for pivoting movement of the guardrail relative to the frame between an upright guard position wherein the guardrail is angularly oriented relative to the upper frame and a nested position wherein the guardrail is in flush abutment with the upper frame.
12. The bunk bed as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the bunk bed is mounted to a supporting vertical wall.
13. The bunk bed as claimed in claim 12 , wherein the bunk bed is moveable between a storage position pivoted vertically alongside the supporting vertical wall and a sleeping position pivoted horizontally from the supporting vertical wall.
14. The bunk bed as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the mounting tab of the guardrail and the slot of the upper frame are cooperatively configured for attachment of the guardrail to the upper frame and detachment of the guardrail from the upper frame.
15. The bunk bed as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising a guardrail on the lower frame and a slot in the lower frame for insertion of the guardrail into the lower frame for pivoting movement of the guardrail relative to the frame between an upright guard position wherein the guardrail is angularly oriented relative to the lower frame and a nested position wherein the guardrail is in flush abutment with the lower frame.
16. The bunk bed as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the bunk bed has two guardrails.
17. The bunk bed as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the bunk bed has three guardrails.
18. The bunk bed as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the guardrail has two mounting tabs.
