The present invention relates to a bed foundation and more particularly to a foldable bed foundation for disposing in a bed frame. The foldable bed foundation can save space and is convenient to be unfolded for use and folded away for storage.
2. Related Art
A common bed frame has a plurality of supporting bars disposed at the middle of the frame, and a bedplate is placed on the supporting bars so that a person can lie down on the bedplate which is supported by the supporting bars. For some bed frames, a bed foundation is placed in the middle of the frame for a person to lie on. However, a common bed foundation is not foldable and the entire bed foundation with a bulky size needs to be lifted up for transporting, which is very inconvenient. Furthermore, because the bed foundation cannot be folded away and is bulky in size, it will be inconvenient for carrying into a house for assembling.
An object of the present invention is to provide a bed foundation to solve the problems of a conventional bed foundation, which are inconvenient for carrying because the entire bed foundation needs to be lifted up and inconvenient for carrying into a house because of the bulky size.
In order to solve the above problems, a bed foundation provided by the present invention comprises:
a first frame body comprising two first lateral frames, a first transverse frame being connected to an end of each of the two first lateral frames, another end of each of the two first lateral frames being a first pivotal end, a plurality of first connecting bars being connected between the two first lateral frames;
a second frame body comprising two second lateral frames, a second transverse frame being connected to an end of each of the two second lateral frames, another end of each of the two second lateral frames being a second pivotal end, a plurality of second connecting bars being connected between the two second lateral frames, the two second pivotal ends being corresponded to the two first pivotal ends respectively so that the first frame body and the second frame body forming a bed surface;
a middle foot stand comprising two vertical stands, a pivotal foundation being disposed at a top end of each of the two vertical stands, the two pivotal foundations respectively supporting the two first pivotal ends and the two second pivotal ends correspondingly, the two first pivotal ends and the two second pivotal ends being fixed on the pivotal foundations by a plurality of fixing elements respectively, a transverse stand being connected between the two vertical stands near the lower sections; and
two lateral foot stands and each of the two lateral foot stands comprising two lateral stands, top ends of the two lateral stands being pivotally connected to corresponding ends of the two first lateral frames and the two second lateral frames respectively, the top ends of the two lateral stands being disposed adjacent to the first transverse frame and the second transverse frame, top sections of the two lateral stands being formed as arc portions facing towards the first transverse frame and the second transverse frame, positioning elements corresponding to the arc portions being disposed on the two first lateral frames and the two second lateral frames so that the two lateral stands being positioned by the positioning elements, a middle supporting stand being disposed between the two lateral stands adjacent to the middle sections of the two lateral foot stands respectively.
According to the above structures, a first fixing piece is respectively disposed at where the two first lateral frames and the first transverse frame are connected.
According to the above structures, a second fixing piece is respectively disposed at where the two second lateral frames and the two second transverse frame are connected.
According to the above structures, a lower supporting stand is disposed between the two lateral stands adjacent to the lower sections of the two lateral foot stands respectively, and a cushion is disposed at the middle of the two lower supporting stands respectively.
According to the above structures, the bed foundation of the present invention further comprises two supporting bars. The two supporting bars are disposed under the first frame body and the second frame body. An end of each of the two supporting bars is pivotally connected to the middle section of the transverse stand of the middle foot stand, and another end of each of the two supporting bars is pivotally connected to the middle sections of the middle supporting stands of the two lateral foot stands respectively.
According to the above structures, a gasket is respectively disposed on locations of the arc portions corresponding to the positioning elements.
According to the above structures, the two supporting bars are roughly in wavy shape.
Comparing with the effects of the conventional techniques, the bed foundation provided by the present invention is foldable for convenient transporting the smaller folded size is convenient for carrying into a house for assembling.
The present invention will become more fully understood by reference to the following detailed description thereof when read in conjunction with the attached drawings.

The second frame body 20 comprises two second lateral frames 201. A second transverse frame 202 is connected to an end of each of the two second lateral frames 201, and another end of each of the two second lateral frames 201 is a second pivotal end 203. A plurality of second connecting bars 204 is connected between the two second lateral frames 201. The two second pivotal ends 203 are corresponded to the two first pivotal ends 103 respectively so that the first frame body 10 and the second frame body 20 forms a bed surface. A second fixing piece 205 is respectively disposed at where the two second lateral frames 201 and the second transverse frame 202 are connected.
The middle foot stand 30 comprises two vertical stands 301. A pivotal foundation 302 is disposed at a top end of each of the two vertical stands 301. The two pivotal foundations 302 respectively supporting the two first pivotal ends 103 and the two second pivotal ends 203 correspondingly. The two first pivotal ends 103 and the two second pivotal ends 203 are fixed on the pivotal foundations 302 by a plurality of fixing elements 303 respectively. A transverse stand 304 is connected between the two vertical stands 301 near the lower sections.
