DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(9) Embodiments of the present invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings.

(10) As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention discloses a connecting structure of a bed frame. The bed frame comprises a frame 10, bed legs 20 disposed at the bottom of the frame 10, and a bed plank support frame 30. The frame 10 includes two side boards 11, a head board 12 and a tail board 13 to form a rectangular frame. Opposing sides of the two side boards 11 are provided with a plurality of support portions 111, respectively. The bed plank support frame 30 includes a plurality of support members 31 and a connecting spine 32. The connecting spine 32 includes an upright board 321 and two support boards 322 connected to two sides of the bottom of the upright board 321. The upright board 321 is integrally formed with the two support boards 322. One end of each of the plurality of support members 31 is connected to a corresponding one of the support portions 111 of the side boards 11. Another end of each of the plurality of support members 31 is connected to a corresponding one of the support boards 322 of the connecting spine 32.

(11) As shown in FIG. 5, each of the two side boards 11 of the frame 10 is an L-shaped hollow tube which has an upright tube 112 and a horizontal tube 113. The upright tube 112 is integrally formed with the horizontal tube 113, so that the assembly and fixing step of the upright tube 112 and the horizontal tube 113 can be omitted. Since the upright tube 112 and the horizontal tube 113 are integrally formed, there is no phenomenon that the solder joint or the screw is loosened. The structural strength is improved greatly, and the overall strength of the bed frame having the side boards 11 is also enhanced.

(12) FIG. 6 is a schematic view of a second embodiment of the side board 11. In order to prevent the plurality of support members 31 of the bed plank support frame 30 placed on the side board 11 from moving, opposing sides of the horizontal tubes 113 of the two side boards 11 are provided a plurality of corresponding slots 114. The slots 114 are the support portions 111. Two sides of the upright board 321 of the connecting spine 32 are provided with apertures 323 corresponding to the slots 11 of the side boards 11. Respective two ends of the support members 31 are inserted in the slots 114 of the horizontal tube 113 and the apertures 323 of the upright board 321, respectively.

(13) FIG. 7 is a schematic view of a third embodiment of the side board 11. The top surface of the horizontal tube 113 of each side board 11 is provided with the support portions 111. The top surface of each support board 322 of the connecting spine 32 is provided with a fixing portion 324. Two ends of the bottom surface of each support member 31 are provided with connecting portions 311, respectively. The connecting portions 311, the support portions 111 and the fixing portion 324 are fabric hooks and loop fasteners to mate with each other.

(14) As shown in FIG. 8, the connecting portion 311 of the bottom surface of each support member 31 is a stripe of fabric hooks or loop fasteners. The plurality of support members 31 are spaced a predetermined distance from each other. The fabric hooks or loop fasteners of the connecting portions 311 at the respective two ends of the plurality of support members 31 are mated with the fabric hooks or loop fasteners of the horizontal tube 113 and the support board 322.

(15) The support portions 111 may be fitted to the top surface of the horizontal tube 113 of each side board 11 by fasteners such as screws, nails, etc. The fixing portion 324 may be fitted to the support board 322 of the connecting spine 32 by fasteners. The two ends of the bottom surface of each support member 31 are fixed to the connecting portions 311 by fasteners, respectively. In this way, when the bed frame is assembled, the plurality of support members 31 can be placed directly on the horizontal tube 113 and the support board 322. Through the fabric looks and the loop fasteners, the support members 31 are fixed to the side boards 11 and the connecting spine 32. Since the fabric looks or the loop fasteners, (i.e., the connecting portions 311) for fixing the support members 31 are soft structures, the plurality of support members 31 can be placed together without being scattered. In order to make the bed frame more easily packaged and transported, the side boards 11, the head board 12, the tail board 13 and the connecting spine 32 are respectively divided into two parts and connected together by means of a connecting member 14.

(16) When in use, the respective side boards 11, the head board 12 and the tail board 13 are assembled to form the frame 10, the bed legs 20 are mounted at the bottom of the frame 10, and both ends of the connecting spine 32 are mounted at the central portions of the head board 12 and the tail board 13, and the support members 31 are mounted on the support portions 111 of the two side boards 11 and the support boards 322 of the connecting spine 32 to complete the bed frame.

(17) The technical features of the present invention is that the connecting spine 32 is designed as a -shaped structure and the upright board 321 is integrally formed with the support boards 322 so that one end of each of the plurality of support members 31 can be directly attached to the support board of the connecting spine 32. Compared to the connecting spine of the conventional bed frame, the integrated connecting spine of the present invention is easy to process, has a simple structure, and is supported in a stable manner because there is no need to weld the U-shaped iron sheet.

(18) Although particular embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail for purposes of illustration, various modifications and enhancements may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Accordingly, the present invention is not to be limited except as by the appended claims.
