Abstract

An universal bed side rails includes a mattress, a bedside assembly, and a rails assembly. The bedside assembly a first bedrail and a second bedrail connected through length adjustable beams. The rails assembly has a first rail and a second rail slidably receiving the first bedrail and the second bedrail therein. The length adjustable beams are positioned under a mattress. The first rail and second rail has flaps to secure to a spring box of a mattress. The length adjustable beams have pin locks and pin holes to secure additional beams for support in different mattress size configurations.

Claims (13)

1. A universal bed side rail, comprising:

a) a bedside assembly including a first bedrail and a second bedrail mounted on two opposing sides of a mattress, wherein the first bedrail and the second bedrail are secured to length adjustable beams, said length adjustable beams are positioned under said mattress near a head and a foot of the bed, wherein the length adjustable beams include holes and pins to secure support beams therein, wherein the support beams are perpendicular to the length adjustable beams; a rails assembly including a first rail and a second rail, wherein the first rail includes a first pivot that allows the first rail to rotate, said first pivot is located on a middle portion of the first rail, wherein the second rail includes a second pivot that allows the second rail to rotate, said second pivot is located on a middle portion of the second rail, wherein the first rail has a first flap located at a first end of the first rail, said first flap secures to a box spring, wherein the second rail has a second flap located at a first end of the second rail, said second flap secures to the box spring.

2. The universal bed side rail from claim 1 , wherein the first bedrail is slidably secured to the first rail, wherein the second bedrail is slidably secured to the second rail.

3. The universal bed side rail from claim 1 , wherein the first bedrail and the second bedrail include vertical bars thereon.

4. The universal bed side rail from claim 1 , wherein said first rail and said second rail rotate when needed.

5. A universal bed side rail assembly, comprising:

a) a mattress including a spring box;

b) a bedside assembly including a first bedrail and a second bedrail mounted on two opposing sides of the mattress, wherein the first bedrail and the second bedrail are secured to length adjustable beams, said length adjustable beams are positioned under said mattress near a head and a foot of the bed, wherein the length adjustable beams include holes and pins to secure support beams therein, wherein the support beams are perpendicular to the length adjustable beams; and

c) a rails assembly including a first rail and a second rail, wherein the first bedrail is slidably secured to the first rail, wherein the second bedrail is slidably secured to the second rail, wherein the first rail has a first flap located at a first end of the first rail, said first flap secures to the box spring, the second rail has a second flap located at a first end of the second rail, said second flap secures to the box spring, wherein the first rail includes a first pivot that allows the first rail to rotate, said first pivot is located on a middle portion of the first rail, wherein the second rail includes a second pivot that allows the second rail to rotate, said second pivot is located on a middle portion of the second rail.

6. A universal bed side rail assembly, consisting of:

a) a mattress including a spring box;

b) a bedside assembly including a first bedrail and a second bedrail mounted on two opposing sides of the mattress, wherein the first bedrail and the second bedrail are secured to length adjustable beams, said length adjustable beams are positioned under said mattress near a head and a foot of the bed, wherein the length adjustable beams include holes and pins to secure support beams therein, wherein the support beams are perpendicular to the length adjustable beams; and

c) a rails assembly including a first rail and a second rail, wherein the first bedrail is slidably secured to the first rail, wherein the second bedrail is slidably secured to the second rail, wherein the first rail has a first flap located at a first end of the first rail, said first flap secures to the box spring, the second rail has a second flap located at a first end of the second rail, said second flap secures to the box spring, wherein the first rail includes a first pivot that allows the first rail to rotate, said first pivot is located on a middle portion of the first rail, wherein the second rail includes a second pivot that allows the second rail to rotate, said second pivot is located on a middle portion of the second rail.
