Claims
- 1. A convertible furniture frame comprising:
- a pair of side frames which include opposed separated pairs of vertical and horizontal tubular members joined to one another;
- at least one cross-support member joined to and separating said pair of side flames; and
- at least one pair of L-shaped leg members each having a first leg section and a second leg section which is shorter than said first leg section; wherein
- said first leg section of said pair of L-shaped leg members is telescopically inserted into a respective one of said vertical and horizontal tubular members of said side frames such that said first leg section is positioned in one of a vertical and horizontal orientation, with said second leg section thereof being in one of a horizontal and vertical orientation, respectively, thereby to provide a desired furniture configuration.
- 2. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 1, which includes at least two said pairs of L-shaped leg members each having said first and second leg sections.
- 3. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 1, wherein said first leg sections of said L-shaped leg members includes spaced-apart adjustment holes to allow for selective dimensional extension of said L-shaped leg members relative to said side frame members.
- 4. The convertible furniture as in claim 1, wherein said L-shaped leg members include an elastomeric cap covering a terminal end of said second leg section.
- 5. Convertible furniture comprising a convertible frame as in claim 1, at least one support board supposed on said frame, and at least one cushion member support on said support board.
- 6. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 1, which includes upper and lower pairs of opposed horizontal tubular side frame members each joined to a respective one of said vertical tubular side frame members.
- 7. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 6, which includes a number of slats spanning at least one of said opposed pairs of said upper and lower horizontal tubular side frame members.
- 8. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 1, wherein said side frames include opposed pairs of intermediate T-shaped joints each for receiving a respective one of said vertical tubular side frame members and a respective one of said horizontal tubular side frame members.
- 9. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 8, wherein said T-shaped joints include an opening aligned with said respective one of said horizontal tubular side frame members so that a respective one of said first leg sections of said L-shaped leg members is telescopically receivable therein.
- 10. The convertible furniture as in claim 8, which includes at least two said pairs of L-shaped leg members each having first and second leg sections, wherein each of said first leg sections of said L-shaped leg members is received within a respective one of said T-shaped joints such that said L-shaped leg members extend outwardly from said side frames with said second leg sections thereof being oriented vertically downward.
- 11. The convertible furniture as in claim 10, which includes a number of slats supported by and spanning opposed pairs of said first leg sections of said L-shaped leg members.
- 12. The convertible furniture as in claim 1, wherein said side frames include opposed pairs of L-shaped joints for receiving ends of respective said vertical tubular side frame members and one of said horizontal tubular side frame members.
- 13. The convertible furniture as in claim 12, further comprising at least one pair of corner pegs removably received in respective ones of said L-shaped joints.
- 14. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 12, wherein each of said first leg sections of said pair of L-shaped leg members is received within a respective one of said L-shaped joints such that each of said first leg sections of said L-shaped leg members is telescopically received within a respective one of said vertical tubular side frame members with said second leg sections being oriented horizontally parallel in vertically spaced relationship to respective ones of said horizontal tubular side frame members.
- 15. The convertible furniture as in claim 12, which includes at least two said pairs of L-shaped leg members each having said first and second leg sections, wherein each of said first leg sections of said L-shaped leg members is received within a respective one of said L-shaped joints such that each of said first leg sections of said L-shaped leg members is telescopically received within a respective one of said vertical tubular side frame members with said second leg sections thereof being oriented horizontally outwardly relative to said side frame members.
- 16. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 15, which includes a number of slats spanning at least one pair of said horizontal tubular side frame members.
- 17. A convertible furniture frame comprising:
- a base frame which includes an opposed pair of generally U-shaped support members;
- a pair of tubular cross-support members each rigidly joined to and separating said pair of support members; and
- at least one leg member having a first leg section and a second leg section which is shorter than said first leg section; wherein
- said first leg section of said leg member is telescopically inserted into a respective end of said cross-support members of said base frame such that said second leg section is positioned in one of two possible orientations with respect to said base frame, thereby to provide a desired furniture configuration.
- 18. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 17 wherein said support members are formed of a one-piece tubular structure which is bent to form a pair of terminal end sections and an intermediate section therebetween.
- 19. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 17, wherein said leg member is formed of a one-piece tubular structure which is bent to form a pair of said first and second leg sections, and an intermediate section joining said pair of second leg sections.
- 20. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 17, wherein said cross-support member and said first leg section of said leg member include spaced-apart adjustment holes to allow for selective dimensional extension of said leg members relative to said cross-support member.
- 21. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 17, which includes at least two said leg members each having said first and second leg sections.
- 22. The convertible furniture frame as in claim 21, wherein each of said leg members is formed of a one-piece tubular structure which is bent to form a pair of said first and second leg sections, and an intermediate section joining said pair of second leg sections.
