Abstract

Furniture spring systems are configured to provide support for different sized modular seating systems and/or modular bed systems. Slats extend between opposing frame or rail members to provide support to the seating or bed system. The slats have a catch disposed at a first or second end. In the seating and/or bed frame systems, the catch engages a retention member to retain the slat to the frame or rail. Adjustable bed frame systems employing such slats comprise modular bed frames and adjustable head boards and foot boards. Bed frames employing the slats and headboards/footboards thereof adjust in length or width in a variety of different manners. Adjustable bed frames adjust through the use of telescoping members, filler blocks and/or elongate end blocks that have different sizes from the standard uniform elongate support blocks employed in a bed frame.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A bed frame system, comprising: a modular end board for use in the bed frame system, the modular end board comprising: an adjustable frame assembly, the adjustable frame assembly comprising: first and second upright members; and a moveable connecting system for connecting the first and second upright members to each other such that a distance between the first and second upright members is configured to be selectively adjusted, the moveable connecting system comprising: one or more receiving slots configured to be perpendicularly fixed to the first and second upright members; and one or more center members configured to be positioned telescopically in the one or more receiving slots; and one or more decorative panels that are selectively mounted onto the adjustable frame assembly; and a first modular bed frame configured to be coupled to the modular end board, the first modular bed frame configured such that the first modular bed frame is reconfigurable from a first geometry to form a second modular bed frame having a second selected geometry, the modular end board and the first modular bed frame each being configured to be adjusted to each have a corresponding dimension in the first geometry and a corresponding dimension in the second selected geometry.

2. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the modular end board is an adjustable headboard or an adjustable footboard.

3. The system as recited in claim 1 , wherein the one or more center members include notches, pins, pegs or dials configured to assist a user in expanding the adjustable frame assembly and locking the adjustable frame assembly to a fixed width.

4. A bed frame system, comprising: a modular end board for use in the bed frame system, the modular end board comprising: an adjustable frame assembly, the adjustable frame assembly comprising: first and second upright members; and a moveable connecting system for connecting the first and second upright members to each other such that a distance between the first and second upright members is configured to be selectively adjusted, the movable connecting system comprising: one or more horizontal posts configured to extend perpendicular from the first and second upright members towards a center of the adjustable frame assembly; and one or more central horizontal posts configured to be slidably attached to the one or more horizontal posts; and one or more decorative panels that are selectively mounted onto the adjustable frame assembly; and a first modular bed frame configured to be coupled to the modular end board, the first modular bed frame configured such that the first modular bed frame is reconfigurable from a first geometry to form a second modular bed frame having a second selected geometry, the modular end board and the first modular bed frame each being configured to be adjusted to each have a corresponding dimension in the first geometry and a corresponding dimension in the second selected geometry.

5. The system as recited in claim 4 , wherein the one or more horizontal posts and the one or more central horizontal posts include notches, pins, pegs or dials configured to assist a user in expanding the adjustable frame assembly and locking the adjustable frame assembly to a fixed width.

6. The system as recited in claim 1 , the adjustable frame assembly further comprising: one or more decorative attachment points configured to have the one or more decorative panels mounted thereto.

7. A bed frame system, comprising: a modular end board for use in the bed frame system, the modular end board comprising: an adjustable frame assembly, the adjustable frame assembly comprising: first and second upright members; and a moveable connecting system for connecting the first and second upright members to each other such that a distance between the first and second upright members is configured to be selectively adjusted; and one or more decorative panels that are selectively mounted onto the adjustable frame assembly; and a first modular bed frame configured to be coupled to the modular end board, the first modular bed frame configured such that the first modular bed frame is reconfigurable from a first geometry to form a second modular bed frame having a second selected geometry, the modular end board and the first modular bed frame each being configured to be adjusted to each have a corresponding dimension in the first geometry and a corresponding dimension in the second selected geometry; the adjustable frame assembly further comprising: one or more decorative attachment points configured to have the one or more decorative panels mounted thereto, wherein the one or more decorative attachment points includes one or more magnets.

8. A bed frame system, comprising: a modular end board for use in the bed frame system, the modular end board comprising: an adjustable frame assembly, the adjustable frame assembly comprising: first and second upright members; and a moveable connecting system for connecting the first and second upright members to each other such that a distance between the first and second upright members is configured to be selectively adjusted; and one or more decorative panels that are selectively mounted onto the adjustable frame assembly; and a first modular bed frame configured to be coupled to the modular end board, the first modular bed frame configured such that the first modular bed frame is reconfigurable from a first geometry to form a second modular bed frame having a second selected geometry, the modular end board and the first modular bed frame each being configured to be adjusted to each have a corresponding dimension in the first geometry and a corresponding dimension in the second selected geometry; the adjustable frame assembly further comprising: one or more decorative attachment points configured to have the one or more decorative panels mounted thereto, wherein the one or more decorative attachment points are positioned on opposing front and back sides of the adjustable frame assembly, such that the one or more decorative panels are configured to be selectively mounted onto both of the opposing front and back sides of the adjustable frame assembly.

9. A bed frame system, comprising: a modular end board for use in the bed frame system, the modular end board comprising: an adjustable frame assembly, the adjustable frame assembly comprising: first and second upright members; and a moveable connecting system for connecting the first and second upright members to each other such that a distance between the first and second upright members is configured to be selectively adjusted; and one or more decorative panels that are selectively mounted onto the adjustable frame assembly, wherein the one or more decorative panels are configured to be mounted onto the adjustable frame assembly so as to overlap with each other, where at least one edge of a first decorative panel of the one or more decorative panels is slidably covered by a second decorative panel of the one or more decorative panels; and a first modular bed frame configured to be coupled to the modular end board, the first modular bed frame configured such that the first modular bed frame is reconfigurable from a first geometry to form a second modular bed frame having a second selected geometry, the modular end board and the first modular bed frame each being configured to be adjusted to each have a corresponding dimension in the first geometry and a corresponding dimension in the second selected geometry.

10. A bed frame system, comprising: a modular end board for use in the bed frame system, the modular end board comprising: an adjustable frame assembly, the adjustable frame assembly comprising: first and second upright members, the first and
