Abstract

A headboard assembly for a modular bed frame assembly includes a bracket and a headboard. The bracket includes an upper attachment structure and a lower attachment structure. The headboard is removably coupled to the bracket at the upper attachment structure. The bracket is configured to be removably coupled between two laterally adjacent planar members of the modular bed frame assembly by the lower attachment structure. At least one of the upper attachment structure or the lower attachment structure of the bracket defines a generally C-shaped section.

Claims (27)

1. A headboard assembly for a modular bed frame assembly, comprising:

a bracket having an upper attachment structure and a lower attachment structure;

wherein the upper attachment structure includes a section for receiving an edge portion of a headboard therein; and

wherein the lower attachment structure defines a first C-shaped section and a second C-shaped section, wherein the first and second C-shaped sections are arranged back-to-back such that open portions of the C-shaped sections face opposite directions.

2. The headboard assembly of claim 1 , wherein the bracket is configured to be removably coupled between two laterally adjacent planar members of the modular bed frame assembly by the lower attachment structure.

3. The headboard assembly of claim 2 , wherein the first C-shaped section is configured to receive a portion of a first of the two laterally adjacent planar members of the modular bed frame assembly and the second C-shaped section is configured to receive a portion of a second of the two laterally adjacent planar members.

4. The headboard assembly of claim 1 , wherein the upper attachment structure includes a generally C-shaped section.

5. The headboard assembly of claim 1 , wherein the upper attachment structure includes an opening for receiving a fastener to removably couple the headboard to the bracket.

6. The headboard assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first C-shaped section is configured to receive a first portion of the modular bed frame assembly and the second C-shaped section is configured to receive a second portion of the modular bed frame assembly.

7. The headboard assembly of claim 1 , wherein the bracket further includes a connecting structure extending between the upper attachment structure and the lower attachment structure.

8. The headboard assembly of claim 7 , wherein a width of the connecting structure is greater than a width of the upper attachment structure.

9. A bracket for a headboard assembly, the bracket comprising:

an upper attachment structure including a generally C-shaped section configured to receive an edge portion of a headboard therein; and

a lower attachment structure comprising two sections configured to receive a portion of a modular bed frame assembly to removably couple the bracket to the modular bed frame assembly, wherein each of the two sections defines an opening, and the openings of the two sections face in opposite directions.

10. The bracket of claim 9 , wherein the two sections of the lower attachment structure include a first generally C-shaped section configured to receive a first lateral planar member of the modular bed frame assembly.

11. The bracket of claim 10 , wherein the two sections of the lower attachment structure include a second generally C-shaped section configured to receive a second lateral planar member of the modular bed frame assembly.

12. The bracket of claim 11 , wherein the first generally C-shaped section of the lower attachment structure and the second generally C-shaped section of the lower attachment structure are configured such that the first lateral planar member and the second lateral planar member are positioned adjacent to one another.

13. The bracket of claim 12 , wherein the first generally C-shaped section of the lower attachment structure and the second generally C-shaped section of the lower attachment structure are identical in shape and size.

14. The bracket of claim 9 , wherein the bracket further includes a connecting structure extending between the upper attachment structure and the lower attachment structure.

15. The bracket of claim 14 , wherein a width of the connecting structure is greater than a width of the upper attachment structure.

16. The bracket of claim 14 , wherein the connecting structure is integrally formed with a lower portion of the upper attachment structure and an upper portion of the lower attachment structure.

17. A method of assembling a headboard assembly to a modular bed frame assembly, comprising:

inserting a lower attachment structure of a bracket between two adjacent planar members of the modular bed frame assembly, wherein the lower attachment structure includes a first section configured to receive a portion of a first of the two adjacent planar members and a second section configured to receive a portion of a second of the two adjacent planar members; and

inserting an edge portion of a headboard into a generally C-shaped section of an upper attachment structure of the bracket.

18. The method of claim 17 , further comprising removably coupling the headboard to the upper attachment structure using a fastener.

19. The method of claim 17 , wherein the first section of the lower attachment structure includes a first generally C-shaped section and the second section of the lower attachment structure includes a second generally C-shaped section.

20. The method of claim 19 , wherein the first generally C-shaped section of the lower attachment structure and the second generally C-shaped section of the lower attachment structure each define an opening, and the openings of the two sections face in opposite directions.
