Abstract
A bed carrying frame comprising a pair of generally parallel side rail members, of hollow rectangular shape, a pair of end rail units, each of which consists of two relatively telescoped end rail members which are also of hollow rectangular shape, and corner bracket members mounting each of the end rail members on one of the side rail members. The corner bracket members are substantially identical and function to pivotally mount the end rail members on the side rail members for movement between folded positions in which two end rail members are folded against each side rail member and assembled positions in which pairs of end rail members are relatively telescoped and cooperate with the side rail members to form a rectangular frame. A novel latch unit is provided for each pair of relatively telescoped end rail members to maintain the end rail members in predetermined relative positions.
