DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 5 for the descriptions of a bed foundation of the present invention. The bed foundation of the present invention comprises a first frame body 10, a second frame body 20, a middle foot stand 30, two lateral foot stands 40 and two supporting bars 50. The first frame body 10 comprises two first lateral frames 101. A first transverse frame 102 is connected to an end of each of the two first lateral frames 101, and another end of each of the two first lateral frames 101 is a first pivotal end 103. A plurality of first connecting bars 104 is connected between the two first lateral frames 101. A first fixing piece 105 is respectively disposed at where the two first lateral frames 101 and the first transverse frame 102 are connected.

[0025] The second frame body 20 comprises two second lateral frames 201. A second transverse frame 202 is connected to an end of each of the two second lateral frames 201, and another end of each of the two second lateral frames 201 is a second pivotal end 203. A plurality of second connecting bars 204 is connected between the two second lateral frames 201. The two second pivotal ends 203 are corresponded to the two first pivotal ends 103 respectively so that the first frame body 10 and the second frame body 20 forms a bed surface. A second fixing piece 205 is respectively disposed at where the two second lateral frames 201 and the second transverse frame 202 are connected.

[0026] The middle foot stand 30 comprises two vertical stands 301. A pivotal foundation 302 is disposed at a top end of each of the two vertical stands 301. The two pivotal foundations 302 respectively supporting the two first pivotal ends 103 and the two second pivotal ends 203 correspondingly. The two first pivotal ends 103 and the two second pivotal ends 203 are fixed on the pivotal foundations 302 by a plurality of fixing elements 303 respectively. A transverse stand 304 is connected between the two vertical stands 301 near the lower sections.

[0027] Each of the two lateral foot stands 40 comprises two lateral stands 401. Top ends of the two lateral stands 401 are pivotally connected to corresponding ends of the two first lateral frames 101 and the two second lateral frames 201 respectively. The top ends of the two lateral stands 401 are disposed adjacent to the first transverse frame 102 and the second transverse frame 202. Top sections of the two lateral stands 401 are formed as arc portions 4011 facing towards the first transverse frame 102 and the second transverse frame 202. Positioning elements 402 corresponding to the arc portions 4011 are disposed on the two first lateral frames 101 and the two second lateral frames 201 so that the two lateral stands 401 are positioned by the positioning elements 402. A gasket 4012 is respectively disposed on locations of the arc portions 4011 corresponding to the positioning elements 402. A middle supporting stand 403 is disposed between the two lateral stands 401 adjacent to the middle sections of the two lateral foot stands 40 respectively. A lower supporting stand 404 is disposed between the two lateral stands 401 adjacent to the lower sections of the two lateral foot stands 40 respectively, and a cushion 4041 is disposed at the middle of the two lower supporting stands 404 respectively.

[0028] The two supporting bars 50 are roughly in wavy shape. The two supporting bars 50 are disposed under the first frame body 10 and the second frame body 20. An end of each of the two supporting bars 50 is pivotally connected to the middle section of the transverse stand 304 of the middle foot stand 30, and another end of each of the two supporting bars 50 is pivotally connected to the middle sections of the middle supporting stands 403 of the two lateral foot stands 40 respectively.

[0029] According to the above structures and design, please refer to FIGS. 3 and 4 for the folding of the bed foundation of the present invention. The first fixing pieces 105 and the second fixing pieces 205 are taken off first. Then, the first frame body 10 is folded away towards the second frame body 20 by using the middle foot stand 30 as a pivotal point. When the first frame body 10 is folded away, the lateral foot stand 40 on the first frame body 10 can be pivotally turned towards the first frame body 10 so that the supporting bar 50 and the lateral foot stand 40 on the first frame body 10 are folded away. When the first frame body 10 is folded away and is closed to the second frame body 20, the middle foot stand 30 will be turned horizontally. At this point, the lateral foot stand 40 on the second frame body 20 is turned pivotally towards the second frame body 20 so that the supporting bar 50 and the lateral foot stand 40 on the second frame body 20 are folded away. Finally, the second frame body 20 and the first frame body 10 are overlapped on each other flatly.

[0030] As shown in FIG. 5, the bed foundation of the present invention can be placed in a bed frame 60. The bed foundation is foldable for convenient transporting and does not take up much space. Because the bed frame 60 is already in a house, all a user have to do is to carry the smaller and folded bed foundation into the house for assembling.

[0031] As a conclusion from the above, the foldable bed case is made flat after it is folded away to make the size a lot smaller for convenient transporting. The smaller size of the folded bed foundation is also convenient for carrying into a house for assembling.

[0032] Note that the specifications relating to the above embodiments should be construed as exemplary rather than as limitative of the present invention, with many variations and modifications being readily attainable by a person of average skill in the art without departing from the spirit or scope thereof as defined by the appended claims and their legal equivalents.
