Abstract

A foldable bed includes a plurality of connecting bars, a plurality of support bars, and a plurality of stand units. Each of the stand units includes two pivotally connected support legs each having a first end provided with an upper support portion, a second end provided with a lower support portion, and a middle section provided with a pivot portion. Each of the stand units further includes two clamping brackets each mounted on the respective support leg, and two vibration absorbers each mounted in the respective clamping bracket. Thus, when the two support legs are expanded, each of the vibration absorbers on one of the support legs abuts the pivot portion of the other one of the support legs so that the support legs are combined solidly and stably so as to enhance the structural strength of each of the stand units.

Claims (29)

1. A foldable bed comprising:

a plurality of connecting bars;

a plurality of support bars connected with the plurality of connecting bars;

a plurality of stand units pivotally connected with the plurality of connecting bars by a plurality of pivot brackets; and

a bed surface mounted between and supported by the plurality of connecting bars and the plurality of support bars, wherein:

each of the plurality of stand units includes two support legs pivotally connected with each other;

each of the two support legs of each of the plurality of stand units has a first end provided with an upper support portion and a second end provided with a lower support portion;

each of the two support legs of each of the plurality of stand units has a middle section provided with a pivot portion located between the upper support portion and the lower support portion;

each of the plurality of stand units further includes two clamping brackets each mounted on a respective one of the two support legs, and two vibration absorbers each mounted in a respective one of the two clamping brackets;

the pivot portion of each of the two support legs is bent and curved transversely so that the pivot portions of the two support legs intersect each other; and

each of the two clamping brackets and each of the two vibration absorbers on one of the two support legs are movable to abut the pivot portion of the other one of the two support legs.

2. The foldable bed of claim 1 , wherein:

each of the upper support portion and the lower support portion of each of the two support legs has a bent and curved shape; and

each of the two support legs of each of the stand units has a substantially S-shaped profile.

3. The foldable bed of claim 1 , wherein each of the two clamping brackets of each of the plurality of stand units is located between the upper support portion and the pivot portion of the respective support leg.

4. The foldable bed of claim 1 , wherein the two support legs of each of the plurality of stand units have the same shape and size.

5. The foldable bed of claim 1 , wherein:

each of the plurality of connecting bars has a free end provided with a positioning rod; and

each of the plurality of support bars has two opposite ends each provided with a positioning hole locked onto the positioning rod of a respective one of the plurality of connecting bars.

6. The foldable bed of claim 5 , wherein the positioning hole of each of the plurality of support bars has a bottom provided with an opening to allow entrance of the positioning rod of the respective connecting bar.

7. The foldable bed of claim 1 , wherein the bed surface has a periphery provided with a plurality of mounting holes mounted on the plurality of connecting bars and the plurality of support bars.

8. The foldable bed of claim 1 , wherein the upper support portion of each of the two support legs is pivotally attached to a respective one of the plurality of connecting bars by one of the plurality of pivot brackets.

9. The foldable bed of claim 1 , wherein:

the pivot portion of each of the two support legs has a middle position provided with a pivot hole;

each of the plurality of stand units further includes:

a fastening bolt extending through the pivot hole of each of the two support legs; and

a fastening nut screwed onto the fastening bolt; and

the pivot portions of the two support legs are pivotally connected with each other.

10. The foldable bed of claim 1 , wherein each of the two vibration absorbers of each of the plurality of stand units is pivotally connected with the respective clamping bracket by a pin.
