Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims priorities from Taiwanese utility model patent application no. 106219019, filed on Dec. 22, 2017, and Taiwanese utility model patent application no. 107201111, filed on Jan. 23, 2018.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The disclosure relates to a modular bed assembly, more particularly to a modular bed assembly with a drawer unit.

BACKGROUND

A conventional modular bed includes a front base frame, a rear base frame, and a plurality of legs. Because the front base frame may be folded on or be disassembled from the rear base frame, and because the legs may be detachable from the front and rear base frames, the modular bed may be received in a box for transportation. A drawer, due to its rigidity and non-foldability, cannot be packed in compact form for the transportation box, and thus is not fit for transportation with such conventional modular bed.

BRIEF SUMMARY

Therefore, an object of the disclosure is to provide a modular bed assembly with a drawer unit.

According to the disclosure, a modular bed assembly includes a front base frame, a rear base frame, a plurality of legs, and a drawer unit. The rear base frame is coupled to and aligned with the front base frame in a longitudinal direction to permit the front and rear base frames to be arranged in a head-to-tail arrangement. The legs are configured to elevate and place the front and rear base frames in a stationary state. The drawer unit includes a pair of guiding rails, a lateral faceplate, a flexible receptacle, and a pair of guided members. The guiding rails are mounted beneath one of the front and rear base frames, and are spaced apart front each other in the longitudinal direction. The lateral faceplate defines a plane. The flexible receptacle includes a bottom wall and a peripheral wall. The peripheral wall extends upwardly from a periphery of the bottom wall to terminate at an upper marginal edge, which has two lateral edge segments each defining a lengthwise line. The peripheral wall is attached to the lateral faceplate along a longitudinal line such that the flexible receptacle is transformable between a collapsed state, where the lengthwise line is substantially parallel to the plane, and a deployed state, where the lengthwise line is substantially normal to the plane. Each of the guided members extends lengthwise to permit a respective one of the lateral edge segments to be attached thereto along the lengthwise line, and is configured to be slidably retained and guided by a respective one of the guiding rails so as to permit the flexible receptacle to be kept in the deployed state.

Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3, a modular bed assembly according to a first embodiment of the disclosure is shown to include a front base frame 11, a rear base frame 12, a plurality of legs 13, and a drawer unit 4.

As shown in FIG. 3, the rear base frame 12 is coupled to and aligned with the front base frame 11 in a longitudinal direction (X) to permit the front and rear base frames 11, 12 to be arranged in a head-to-tail arrangement.

In an embodiment shown in FIG. 3, the front base frame 11 includes two front beams 111, a first front transverse beam 115, and a second front transverse beam 116, and the rear base frame 12 includes two rear beams 121, a first rear transverse beam 124, and a second rear transverse beam 125. Each of the front beams 111, the first and second front transverse beams 115, 116, the rear beams 121, and the first and second rear transverse beams 124, 125 may be a square, hollow metal tube.

Each of the front beams 111 extends in the longitudinal directions (X) to terminate at a front end segment 112 and a first connecting end segment 113, and has an intermediate segment 114 between the front end segment 112 and the first connecting end segment 113. The front beams 111 are spaced apart from each other in a transverse direction (Y) relative to the longitudinal direction (X).

The first front transverse beam 115 extends to interconnect the front end segments 112 of the front beams 111. The second front transverse beam 116 extends to interconnect the intermediate segments 114 of the front beams 111. In an embodiment, two ends of each of the first and second front transverse beams 115, 116 are detachably connected to the front beams 111, respectively.

The rear beams 121 are spaced apart from each other in the transverse direction (Y). Each of the rear beams 121 extends in the longitudinal direction (X) to terminate at a rear end segment 122 and a second connecting end segment 123. The second connecting end segment 123 is connected to the first connecting end segment 113 of a respective one of the front beams 111. In an embodiment, the rear beams 121 are detachably connected to the front beams 111, respectively.

The first rear transverse beam 124 extends to interconnect the second connecting end segments 123 of the rear beams 121. The second rear transverse beam 125 extends to interconnect the rear end segments 122 of the rear beams 121. In an embodiment, two ends of each of the first and second rear transverse beams 124, 125 are detachably connected to the rear beams 121, respectively.

The legs 13 are configured to elevate and place the front and rear base frames 11, 12 in a stationary state. In an embodiment, the legs 13 can be detachably mounted to one of the front and rear base frames 11, 12.

The drawer unit 4 includes a pair of guiding rails 41, a lateral faceplate 43, a flexible receptacle 42, and a pair of guided members 45.

The guiding rails 41 are mounted beneath one of the front and rear base frames 11, 12, and are spaced apart front each other in the longitudinal direction (X). In an embodiment shown in FIGS. 2 and 5, each of the guiding rails 41 defines a guiding groove 411.

The lateral faceplate 43 defines a plane (P). In an embodiment, the lateral faceplate 43 is made of a rigid material such as natural wood, plywood, a plastic material, and so on. In other embodiment, the lateral faceplate 43 may be integrally formed with the flexible receptacle 42.

Furthermore, the lateral faceplate 43 may have a longitudinal dimension substantially not greater than that of a corresponding one of the front and rear base frames 11, 12. In other words, the longitudinal dimension of the lateral faceplate is not greater than the length of each of the front and rear beams 111, 121.

As shown in FIGS. 2, 6, and 7, the flexible receptacle 42 includes a bottom wall 421 and a peripheral wall 422. The peripheral wall 422 extends upwardly from a periphery of the bottom wall 421 to terminate at an upper marginal edge 423 which has two lateral edge segments 424 each defining a lengthwise line (L1). The peripheral wall 422 is attached to the lateral faceplate 43 along a longitudinal line (L2) such that the flexible receptacle 42 is transformable between a collapsed state and a deployed state. In the collapsed state, as shown in FIG. 7, the lengthwise line (L1) is substantially parallel to the plane (P). In the deployed state, as shown in FIG. 2, the lengthwise line (L1) is substantially normal to the plane (P). FIG. 6 illustrates a state of the flexible receptacle 42 between the collapsed state and the deployed state.

The flexible receptacle 42 may be made from any flexible, foldable, and/or pliable material, such as woven or nonwoven fabrics, canvas, duck, or the like.

Each of the guided members 45 extends lengthwise to permit a respective one of the lateral edge segments 424 to be attached thereto along the lengthwise line (L1). Each of the guided members 45 is configured to be slidably retained and guided by a respective one of the guiding rails 41 so as to permit the flexible receptacle 42 to be kept in the deployed state.

Because (i) the longitudinal dimension of the lateral faceplate is not greater than the length of each of the front and rear beams 111, 121, (ii) the flexible receptacle 42 can be transformed to the collapsed state, and (iii) the elements of the front and rear base frames 11, 12 may be disassembled, the modular bed assembly with the drawer unit 4 can be compactly received in a box for transportation.

In an embodiment shown in FIGS. 5-7, the drawer unit 4 further includes a pair of drawer-side rollers 46 and a pair of rail-side rollers 47. The drawer-side rollers 46 are disposed on the guided members 45, respectively. The rail-side rollers 47 are disposed on the guiding rails 41, respectively. With the provision of the drawer-side rollers 46 and the rail-side rollers 47, the flexible receptacle 42 in the deployed state can be more smoothly slid relative to the guiding rails 41.
