Abstract

A bed foundation includes a plurality of bed-boards, a plurality of braces configured to couple to bottom of the bed-boards to provide elevation and vertical support to the bed-boards, and a plurality of buckling devices configured to couple the plurality of bed-boards horizontally together. In one aspect of the invention, the top of the bed-boards is a flat plane and bottom of the bed-boards includes crisscross reinforcing sinews. In another aspect of the invention, the bed foundation also includes holes that penetrate from top to bottom of the bed-boards into notches formed at crossing of reinforcing sinews. In another aspect of the invention, the bed foundation also includes small holes in peripheral sides of the bed-boards, wherein the buckling devices mate with the small holes to couple the bed-boards horizontally together. Advantages of the invention include the ability to disassemble the bed foundation for storage and transport.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A bed foundation, comprising: 
 a plurality of bed-boards;    a plurality of braces configured to couple to bottom of the bed-boards to provide elevation and vertical support to the bed-boards; and    a plurality of buckling devices configured to couple the plurality of bed-boards horizontally together.    
     
     
         2 . The bed foundation of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 top of the bed-boards is a flat plane and bottom of the bed-boards includes crisscross reinforcing sinews.    
     
     
         3 . The bed foundation of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 at least one of the group consisting of:    the bed-boards;    the braces; and    the buckling devices;    is constructed of plastic.    
     
     
         4 . The bed foundation of  claim 2 , further comprising: 
 holes that penetrate from top to bottom of the bed-boards into notches formed at crossing of reinforcing sinews.    
     
     
         5 . The bed foundation of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 the braces are conical bodies that decrease in diameter from bottom to top.    
     
     
         6 . The bed foundation of  claim 5 , wherein: 
 the braces are hollow and shape of their cavities is conical.    
     
     
         7 . The bed foundation of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 number of the bed-boards is selected from the group consisting of:    two;    four;    six; and    eight.    
     
     
         8 . The bed foundation of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 small holes in peripheral sides of the bed-boards; wherein:    the buckling devices mate with the small holes to couple the bed-boards horizontally together.    
     
     
         9 . The bed foundation of  claim 7 , further comprising: 
 small holes in peripheral sides of the bed-boards; wherein:    the buckling devices mate with the small holes to couple the bed-boards horizontally together.    
     
     
         10 . The bed foundation of  claim 4 , wherein: 
 shape of the holes is selected from the group consisting of:    square;    ellipse;    circle;    triangle; and    polygon.    
     
     
         11 . The bed foundation of  claim 1 , wherein: 
 the bed-boards, the braces, and the buckling devices may be disassembled from each other.    
     
     
         12 . The bed foundation of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a plurality of casing holes in bottom of the bed-boards to mate with the braces.    
     
     
         13 . The bed foundation of  claim 12 , wherein each brace comprises: 
 a columnar casing head at top of the brace; and    a step adjoining the columnar casing head;    wherein, the columnar casing head is configured to insert into a casing hole and rim of the casing hole is supported by the step.    
     
     
         14 . The bed foundation of  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 surrounding sides configured to couple to peripheral sides of the bed-boards to surround outside of the bed-boards.    
     
     
         15 . The bed foundation of  claim 14 , wherein: 
 the surrounding sides have protruding parts on top to mate with small holes in the peripheral sides of the bed-boards.    
     
     
         16 . The bed foundation of  claim 15 , wherein: 
 the surrounding sides are attached to each other by the buckling devices, the buckling devices mating with small holes in the surrounding sides.    
     
     
         17 . The bed foundation of  claim 16 , wherein: 
 the small holes in the peripheral sides of the bed-boards are the same size and shape as the small holes in the surrounding sides.
