CLAMP ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH ADJUSTABLE BED RAIL CROSS SUPPORT MEMBERS

摘要

A clamp assembly (44) for securing a pair of overlapping cross support members (24, 26) extending between two opposed side raiis ( 16) of a bed frame (10) is provided. The clamp assembly (44) includes a unitary clamp body (46), a ieg assembly (58) pivotally secured to the clamp body (46) and a iocking piate (112) pivotally secured to the clamp body (46). In order to prevent the cross support members (24, 26) from sliding relative to one another, the leg assembly (58) exerts force on the overlapping cross support members (24, 26). The ieg assembly (58) may comprise a first leg (62) pivotaily secured to the clamp body (46), a plastic insert (64) and a foot member (68). Alternatively, the leg assembly (58) may comprise a first leg (62) nestably secured to a second leg (90) in order to increase the length of the leg assembly (58).
