Telescoping Bed Frames

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.

What is claims is: 
     
         1 . A telescoping bed frame, comprising:
 (i) a plurality of support modules; and   (ii) a plurality of corner modules that are movably connected to the support modules, the corner modules each being comprised of a corner member having two ends that are positioned at a substantially transverse angle with respect to each other, each of the ends of a respective corner member being movably coupled to a respective support module, such that each corner module selectively moves with respect to each of the support modules to which it is coupled, such that the telescoping bed frame is configured to form a first modular bed frame having a first selected geometry and is telescopically reconfigurable to form a second modular bed frame having a second selected geometry.   
     
     
         2 . A telescoping bed frame as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the support modules are bed frame rails.
