Abstract

This disclosure concerns an adjustable bed with a deck-on-deck appearance. A concealing assembly is attached to the center frame of an articulating bed, wherein the concealing assembly is situated below the mattress platform and conceals the base frame as the center frame moves along the base frame when the bed articulates. In other embodiments, such as for non-wall hugger beds where the center frame is stationary, a concealing assembly may still be used but will also be stationary.

Claims (31)

1. A kit for constructing an adjustable bed frame assembly, the kit comprising:

a center frame comprising two substantially parallel side center frame members connected by two connector frame members, a forward center connector frame member and a rear center connector frame member;

a head frame comprising two substantially parallel side head frame members connected by at least one head frame connector member, wherein two lower ends of the head frame's parallel side frame members are pivotally attached to the forward center connector frame member of the center frame;

a mattress platform to provide support for a mattress, comprising a frame side and a mattress side wherein the frame side is affixed to the center and head frame;

a stabilizing bar;

a foot frame, comprising two substantially parallel foot side frame members connected by at least one foot frame connector frame;

a plurality of roller brackets;

a plurality of side rail brackets that attach to the center frame;

a plurality of substantially concave wheels;

at least one extension frame member;

at least one actuator; and

a base frame comprising two substantially tubular, parallel side base frame members, a forward base frame connector member and a rear base frame connector member.

2. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the center frame, the head frame, the stabilizing bar, and the foot frame are affixed to the mattress platform.

3. The kit of claim 2 , wherein the foot frame is affixed to the preassembly mattress platform via a fabric fastener to improve preassembly stability.

4. The kit of claim 2 , wherein the preassembly further comprises a massage motor.

5. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the mattress platform comprises a head section, a torso section, a leg section, and a foot section.

6. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the mattress platform further comprises protective fabric affixed in between the mattress platform and the center and head frames.

7. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the connector frame of the foot frame is movably affixed to the mattress platform.

8. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the foot frame parallel side frame members and at least one connector frame are substantially tubular.

9. The kit of claim 1 , wherein each roller bracket supports one of the substantially concave wheels.

10. The kit of claim 1 , wherein base frame members are affixed to the forward base frame connector member via bolts.

11. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the kit further comprises a plurality of inner skirt supports.

12. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the kit further comprises a concealing assembly.

13. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the kit further comprises a massage motor.

14. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the kit further comprises a plurality of leg members.

15. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the kit further comprises a plurality of constructed leg members, wherein a constructed leg member comprises two substantially parallel leg members and a leg cross bar affixed in a substantially perpendicular manner to the parallel leg members.

16. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the kit further comprises a plurality leg concealers.

17. The kit of claim 16 , wherein the plurality of leg concealers are substantially cylindrical.

18. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the kit further comprises a motor connection bracket.

19. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the center frame members are hinged.

20. The kit of claim 1 , wherein the kit further comprises a roller frame securing mechanism.
