Universal bed system

摘要

An adjustable bed system includes first and second end boards. A first height adjustment mechanism is secured to the first end board via a first mounting member and a second height adjustment mechanism is secured to the second end board via a second mounting member. The second height adjustment mechanism is independent of the first height adjustment mechanism. An external housing member is engagable with one of the first and second mounting members. A transition box is operatively engagable with one of the first and second height adjustment mechanisms. The transition box is positioned within the external housing such that the transition box is substantially inhibited from rotation during height adjustment of the bed system. A drive shaft interconnects the transition box, at a first end thereof, and the other of the first and second height adjustment mechanisms, at a second end thereof.

主权项

1. A method of assembling an adjustable bed, comprising:
coupling a first end board to a frame, the first end board including a first height adjustment mechanism; coupling a second end board to the frame, the second end board including a second height adjustment mechanism; determining whether the first and second end boards are similar or different; coupling a transmission box to the first height adjustment mechanism, wherein coupling the transmission box to the first height adjustment mechanism includes:
if the first and second end boards are determined to be similar, coupling a first output of the transmission box to the first height adjustment mechanism; andif the first and second end boards are determined to be different, coupling a second output of the transmission box to the first height adjustment mechanism; and coupling a drive shaft between an input of the transmission box and the second height adjustment mechanism.
