Truss-reinforced adjustable bed frame

Abstract

An adjustable bed assembly includes a mattress platform, center frame, a head frame, a truss, and actuators for raising and lowering the head frame. The mattress platform may be made of wood. The center frame and/or the head frame members may be of tubular construction. The actuator may be controlled through a programmable logic controller (PLC). Alternatively, the PLC may execute actuator control according to user remote control instructions.

1 . An adjustable bed frame assembly, comprising:
 a center frame comprising two substantially parallel side frame members;   a truss connected to at least one point on the center frame, wherein the truss comprises two truss members positioned to form an X; and   a head frame comprising two substantially parallel head side frame members, each having a lower end, connected by at least one connector frame member, wherein the lower end of each of the head side frame members are pivotally attached to a forward connector frame member of the center frame, and wherein a downwardly facing extension frame member is attached to the at least one connector frame member of the head frame.   
     
     
         2 . The adjustable bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein a fastener secures the truss at a point where the truss members cross. 
     
     
         3 . The adjustable bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the truss is secured to a mattress platform. 
     
     
         4 . The adjustable bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising an actuator for raising and lowering the head frame, wherein one end of the actuator is pivotally connected to the downwardly facing extension frame member and an opposing end of the actuator is connected to a rear connector frame member. 
     
     
         5 . The adjustable bed frame assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the actuator is controlled through a programmable logic controller (PLC). 
     
     
         6 . The adjustable bed frame assembly of  claim 5 , wherein the PLC executes actuator control as indicated through receipt of a user remote control instruction. 
     
     
         7 . The adjustable bed frame assembly of  claim 1 , further comprising a mattress platform secured to an upper portion of the center frame and the head frame. 
     
     
         8 . The adjustable bed frame assembly of  claim 7 , wherein the mattress platform is made of wood. 
     
     
         9 . The adjustable bed frame assembly of  claim 4 , wherein the actuator is made of a tubular construction.
