Collapsible bed frame
View Patent ↗A collapsible bed frame includes two long rods each composed of two connecting rods. The two connecting rods are connected together through a connecting member. Each of the two long rods has two ends and a central portion pivotally connected with an X-shaped support rack, respectively. The X-shaped support rack at the central portion is pivotally connected to the connecting member. Support rods are provided between the long rods and the X-shaped support racks at the two ends. The support rods are adapted to assist in pulling or pushing the X-shaped support racks at the two ends for expanding or collapsing the collapsible bed frame with ease.
