Fold up safety pad for low clearance beds

摘要

A foldable pad assembly is provided for use along at least one side of a low height bed or bed frame. The pad assembly includes a pair of elongated edge-to-edge aligned pad sections with the adjacent edges of the pad sections loosely joined together for relative angular displacement between a stored generally coplanar position along the side of the bed and a deployed generally parallel position on the floor adjacent the side of the bed to which the pad assembly is attached. An integral flexible panel has one marginal edge secured relative to the free edge of the inner panel section, and the opposite marginal edge is secured to and extends along the associated one side of the low height bed. The pad assembly further includes straps for encircling the pad sections when in the folded stored position in order to retain the pad sections in the folded position. In the stored position along the bed side, the flexible panel supports the pad sections in a raised position off the floor.
