Abstract
A bed form () is made from easy to recycle sections () and can be quickly assembled without tools by means of fasteners () that can be secured by hand. An egg carton-like base () is formed from a first set of long sections () having slots on the top edge () thereof that engage with slots () in the bottom edge () of a second set of shorter sections (). The long and short sections () are preferably molded from structural foam and the top edge () of the long sections () include a plurality of threaded male projections () molded into them. Fasteners () are used to attach upper deck sections () to the threaded projections () on the base (). Each fastener () includes a top flange (), a hollow cylindrical body () having an hand engageable fin () therein and a lower end having a female threaded section () that engages the exterior treads of the threaded projections () on the base (). An individual places one of several fasteners () in one of the apertures () in one of several deck sections (), grabs the interior fin (), engages the threaded projection () with the female interior threads (), and manually rotates the fastener () until the flange () pulls the deck section () firmly down onto the base ().
