TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates generally to the field of beds and bed assemblies, and more particularly, to bed assemblies with foam-based headboard(s) that have easily interchangeable outer coverings to quickly vary headboard appearance as aesthetically desired and/or as needed due to wear and tear.
BACKGROUND
Bed assemblies and bed frames/bed frame assemblies have made drastic improvements in ease of assembly over the past several decades. However, mid-grade and high quality bed assemblies, bed frames, and bed frame assemblies remain quite difficult to assemble—often requiring specialized tools and multiple people when assembling the various parts. Furthermore, most (if not all) mid-grade and high quality bed assemblies are quite heavy, cumbersome, and cannot easily be re-purposed without an expensive and lengthy re-upholstering process. Thus, many problems remain with mid-grade and high quality bed assemblies, and a need exists to provide a solution to these numerous problems.

Disclosed herein are bed assemblies 100 with foam-based headboard(s) 110 that have easily interchangeable coverings (slip covers) to vary the headboard appearance as aesthetically desired and/or as needed due to wear and tear. Specifically shown in FIG. 1 is the assembled bed assembly 100 with a mattress 200 thereon, and FIG. 2 further shows the assembled bed assembly 100 without a mattress positioned thereon.
FIGS. 1, 2, 3A, and 8 specifically depict bed assemblies 100 including: (a) a foam headboard 110 having a protective outer covering 124 positioned thereon; (b) one or more slip covers 130 configured to be positioned on the foam headboard 110, each slip cover 130 having a releasable fastening mechanism 135 to temporarily securely position the slip cover on the foam head board and having a pocket 137 that conceals portions of the fastening mechanism when the slip cover is positioned on the foam head board; and (c) a bed frame assembly 140, the bed frame assembly including: (i) a plurality of legs, each leg 181 having a first side 182 and second side 183 that are each configured to securely attach to separate side rails and each leg having a securing member 185 positioned on a corner of the leg between the first side and second side of the leg that extends away from the leg towards the interior of the bed frame assembly when assembled; (ii) a plurality of side rails 141, 151, 161, 171 that are configured to be positioned and securely fastened between two separate legs of the plurality of legs; (iii) a plurality of securing brackets 191, each bracket 191 configured to be positioned on the securing member of each leg, to concurrently grip two separate side rails, and to securely fasten the separate side rails to the leg by biasing the securing bracket in a direction towards the exterior of the bed frame assembly when assembled; and (iv) a support beam 195 configured to be completely positioned within the interior of the bed frame assembly between two separate side rails when the bed frame assembly 140 is assembled to provide support and rigidity to the bed frame assembly and to further support a mattress when positioned on the assembled bed frame assembly.
With specific reference to FIGS. 3A-3H, FIGS. 3A-3H sequentially depict positioning and securing a slip cover 130 on the foam based headboard 110. In certain aspects and as specifically shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the foam based headboard 110 may be completely formed of a resiliently deformable material such as an open cell (e.g., reticulated foam), partially open cell, or closed cell polyurethane-based foam, and in certain instances the headboard 110 may be completely formed of a low-resilience polyurethane foam and/or a high density polyurethane. In certain instances, this the headboard 110 is formed of either a closed cell or open cell polyurethane (e.g., high density polyurethane) having a compression modulus ranging from 75 lbs. to 80 lbs at ambient conditions and more preferably from 77.5 lbs. to 82.5 lbs at ambient conditions. Furthermore, the headboard 110 being formed of either a closed cell or open cell polyurethane (e.g., high density polyurethane) preferably has an R-value (as a measure of hardness) ranging from 1.6 lbs. per cubic foot to 2.1 lbs. per cubic foot at ambient conditions, and more preferably from 1.7 lbs per cubic foot to 1.8 lbs per cubic foot at ambient conditions. In certain aspects, the polyurethane foam has a cell density ranging from 1.6 to 1.8 cells/cm3 (×1010) and more preferably from 1.65 to 1.75 cells/cm3 (×1010). In certain aspects, the headboard 110 is a closed cell polyurethane having the above mentioned hardness and compressibility characteristics, which allow for ease of shipping the headboards in a compressed while concurrently and advantageously providing high rigidity while the headboard is in use such that if remains durable throughout the lifespan of the product even under heavy and frequent use (e.g., daily use). Moreover, the polyurethanes disclosed herein are either castable or thermoplastic polyurethanes but are not millable polyurethanes. Both castable and thermoplastic polyurethanes have a segmented structure, where the polyurethane portions formed from diisocyanate represents the hard segments, while the polyurethane portions formed from polyether or the polyester polyols represent the soft segments. The elasticity comes from the segregation of the segments. Chain extenders are typically short-chain molecules used to increase the molecular weight and thus improve polyurethane strength. The majority of the head board 110 (or, in preferred aspects, the headboard is completely) comprised of these materials for packaging and handling purposes. For example and as specifically shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the headboards 110 may be compressed, vacuumed sealed (e.g., hermetically sealed), and packaged in a headboard packaging wrapper 300 for shipping purposes, and when assembling the bed assemblies 100 as disclosed further below, the headboard 110 may be removed from the packaging 300 and allowed to expand achieving a fully decompressed state (i.e., shown as headboard 110 in FIG. 3A).
As shown in FIGS. 3A and 3B, the headboard 110 includes a top/upper end 112, a bottom/lower end 114, a front 116, a back 118, a left side 120, optional through holes (on left side) 121 for attachment to the bed frame assembly if desired, a right side 122, and optional through holes (on right Side) 123 for attachment to the bed frame assembly if desired. Also, the headboard 110 further includes an outer covering 124 (protective outer covering) positioned over and permanently attached to the foam based material comprising the headboard.
As alluded to above, the bed assemblies 100 disclosed herein include both the foam based headboard 110 and one or more slip covers 130 configured for positioning on the headboard. FIGS. 3C-3H specifically depict the slip cover 130 being positioned on and secured to the foam based headboard 110. For example, FIG. 3C specifically shows the slip cover 130 initially positioned over the top/upper end 112 of the headboard 110 in anticipation of advancing the slip cover in direction (D′) towards the bottom/lower end 114 of the headboard and securing the slip cover thereto. FIG. 3D depicts the slip cover 130 advanced approximately mid-way along the length of the headboard in a downward direction (D′) towards the bottom/lower end 114 of the headboard. FIG. 3D depicts the slip cover 130 advanced the majority of the length of the headboard in a downward direction (D′) towards the bottom/lower end 114 of the headboard, and FIG. 3F depicts the slip cover 130 advanced substantially completely the entire length of the headboard along the bottom/lower end 114 of the headboard with slip cover through holes 131, 133 being substantially aligned with headboard through holes 121, 123, with these through holes being configured for attachment to the bed frame assembly if desired. As shown in FIG. 3G (and after advancing the slip cover 130 substantially the entire length of the headboard), the slip cover 130 is securely pulled over and attached to the bottom/lower end 114 of the head board by engaging/fastening a fastening mechanism 135 (e.g., a zipper, hook and loop fasteners, and/or buttons) positioned on the slip cover 130. FIG. 3G specifically depicts the fastening mechanism being advanced in direction D5 along the bottom peripheral edge of the bottom/lower end 114 of the head board, and FIG. 3H further depicts the fastening mechanism 135 (e.g., zipper) being placed within and concealed by pocket 137. In certain aspects, the slip cover 130 may be removed by reversing the order of steps discussed immediately above, and various different slip covers having different indicia, printing, fabric(s), and/or textures may be interchangeably positioned on and/or removed as discussed immediately above. The interchangeability of the disclosed slip covers advantageously allows a user to change the headboard's aesthetic appearance as desired and/or as needed due to wear and tear. After fastening the slip cover 130 on the headboard, the headboard may be propped/rested on a wall surface (“free floating”) and positioned adjacent to an assembled bed frame assembly, or alternatively, may be secured to the assembled bed frame assembly via fasteners advanced through the through holes 121, 123, which are configured to fasten the headboard to the bed frame assembly.
FIG. 4 depicts the disassembled bed frame assembly 140, and FIG. 8 depicts the completely assembled bed frame assembly 140. In view of FIGS. 4 and 8 and as further previously discussed, bed frame assembly 140 comprises (i) a plurality of legs 181, each leg having a first side and second side that are each configured to securely attach to separate side rails and each leg having a securing member 185 positioned on a corner of the leg between the first side and second side of the leg that extends away from the leg towards the interior of the bed frame assembly when assembled; (ii) a plurality of side rails (left side rail 141, right side rail 151, foot side rail 161, head side rail 171) that are configured to be positioned and securely fastened between two separate legs of the plurality of legs; (iii) a plurality of securing brackets, each bracket 191 configured to be positioned on the securing member 185 of each leg, to concurrently grip two separate side rails, and to securely fasten the separate side rails to the leg by biasing the securing bracket in a direction towards the exterior of the bed frame assembly when assembled; and (iv) a support beam 195 configured to be completely positioned within the interior of the bed frame assembly between two separate side rails when the bed frame assembly is assembled to provide support and rigidity to the bed frame assembly and to further support a mattress when positioned on the assembled bed frame assembly.
FIGS. 5A-5C sequentially depict attaching a leg 181 to at least the foot side rail 161 and to either the right side rail 151 or left side rail 141. It should be noted that when assembled within the bed frame assembly 140, the right 151 and left 141 side rails are mirror images of one another and substantially attach to the leg(s) 181 disclosed herein in an identical manner. FIG. 5A specifically depicts the left side rail 141 being initially aligned and affixed to one of a first side (or second side) of the leg, and FIG. 5B shows the leg and the other side rail being aligned and affixed to the other side of the leg 181. In certain aspects, each end of the side rails (141, 151, 161, 171) include one or more recesses (e.g., holes) formed on the end(s) of each side rail. These recesses (holes) are configured to align with corresponding recesses (holes) formed in the first 182 and second 183 sides of each leg 181. Either the recesses (holes) formed in the ends of the side rails (141, 151, 161, 171) or the recesses (holes) formed in each of the first 182 and second 183 sides of each leg 181 are fitted (e.g., friction fitted therein) with solid, rigid elongate structures (e.g., dowels/dowel rods) that are configured to fit into the corresponding recesses (holes) formed on the leg (and/or side rails) such the ends of the side rails may be securely advanced and fixedly positioned flush to the first 182 and/or second 183 sides of each leg. This process is substantially shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C.
As shown in, for example, FIGS. 4-6E, each side rail (141, 151, 161, 171) has a linear slot positioned internally along a length of each side rail and laterally adjacent to each end of each side rail. For example, the left side rail 141 has a first end 142 with linear slot 144 positioned internally along the length of the left side rail and adjacent to the first end 142, and a second end 145 with a linear slot 146 positioned internal along the length of the left side rail and adjacent to the second end 145. The right side rail 151 has a first end 152 with a linear slot 154 positioned internal along the length of the left side rail and adjacent to the first end 152, and a second end 155 with a linear slot 156 positioned internally along the length of the left side rail and adjacent to the second end 155. The foot side rail 161 also has a linear slot 164 positioned internal along the length of the left side rail and adjacent to its first end 162 and a second end 165 with a linear slot 166 positioned internal along the length of the left side rail and adjacent to its second end 165. Likewise, the head side rail 171 has a first end 172 with a linear slot 174 positioned internal along the length of the left side rail and adjacent its first end 172 and a second end 175 with a linear slot 176 positioned internal along the length of the left side rail and adjacent its second end 175.
After aligning and securing/affixing two side rails to the first and second sides of the leg 181 (as discussed above), the rails and legs are further secured to one another via the securing brackets 191 disclosed herein. With specific reference to FIGS. 6A-6C, a securing bracket 191 having a first end 192, a spaced apart second end 193, and a through hole 194 positioned mid-span along a length of the securing bracket is provided. As further shown in FIGS. 6A-6C, the first and second ends 192, 193 of the each securing bracket are configured to be fitted within and grip a corresponding linear slot formed on the side rails (e.g., 146 and 164 respectively in FIGS. 6A-6C) while the through hole 194 is configured to receive the securing member 185 extending away from the leg there through. As further shown in FIGS. 6C-6E, in certain aspects, an end of the securing member 185 protrudes through the through hole 194 and preferably includes threaded portions. In order to further secure the side rails to the corresponding leg, a threaded fastener may be advanced on the securing member 185 in a direction D2, as shown in FIGS. 6D and 6E, to exert force (bias/tension) in a direction towards the exterior of the bed frame assembly 140 such that each linear slot is concurrently gripped and concertedly tensioned in a direction D3 towards the leg 181 by the first and second ends 192, 193 of the securing bracket thereby securely fastening the separate side rails to the leg.
FIGS. 7A, 7B, 7C, 7D, 7E, and 7F sequentially depict securing the head side rail 171 between two legs 181 at the head of the bedframe assembly 100. As shown in FIGS. 7A-7F, in certain aspects, the head side rail is slightly different than the left, right, and foot side rails 141, 151, 161. For example, the head side rail may be a metal beam instead of being formed of wood in order to further improve rigidity and overall structural integrity of the frame. In addition and as further shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C, the head side rail 171 has two spaced apart ends that terminate with a planar shaped plate(s) having through holes extending there through. These through holes are configured to align with recesses (holes) formed on the legs 181 and are further configured to receive fasteners (e.g., screws) there through to securely fasten each end of the head side rail to a side of the adjacent leg. As further shown in FIGS. 7D and 7E (and magnified view FIG. 7F), a securing bracket may be positioned on securing member 185 and may grip, tension, and secure the head side rail 171, leg, and corresponding side rail in a manner substantially similar to that disclosed above regarding FIGS. 6C-6E. More particularly, FIG. 7F depicts the direction D2 in which force may be placed on the securing bracket such that slots are concurrently gripped and concertedly tensioned in a direction D3 towards the leg 181 by the first and second ends of the securing bracket 191 to further securely fasten the separate side rails to the leg.
Upon assembling each side rail to the plurality of legs in the manner discussed above and in further view of FIGS. 4 and 8, support beam 195 may be securely attached between and to the head side rail 171 and foot side rail 161 to provide further structural support and rigidity to the bed frame assembly and to further support a mattress when positioned on the fully assembled bed frame assembly. In certain aspects and as further shown in FIGS. 4 and 8, support beam 195 may have a “T” shaped configuration when viewed in cross-section, and both the foot side rail 161 and head side rail 171 may include linear slots formed mid-span along their length that are axially aligned with one another when the bed frame assembly is assembled. To secure the support beam to the foot side rail 161 and head side rail 171, the support beam (having a “T” shaped conformation) may be advanced into each of the slots positioned mid-span along the foot side rail 161 and head side rail 171 until the upper portion of the support beam is substantially flush and rests on portions of the foot side rail 161 and head side rail 171. In this aspect, the support beam 195 is completely positioned and secured within the interior of the bed frame assembly when fully assembled.
In certain aspects, also disclosed is a kit comprising the above discussed bed assembly. In certain aspects, the kit may only include the headboard(s), slip cover(s), bed frame assemblies, and/or any combination thereof.
In certain aspects, the kit may further include a mallet, fastening tool(s), and/or fasteners that are configured to fasten the side rails, legs, support beam, and/or securing bracket(s) to one another when assembling the bed frame assembly.
The foregoing description provides embodiments of the invention by way of example only. It is envisioned that other embodiments may perform similar functions and/or achieve similar results. Any and all such equivalent embodiments and examples are within the scope of the present invention and are intended to be covered by the appended claims.
