Abstract
A bed frame having slats which connect and disconnect from the side rails of the frame through a pair of mutually perpendicular motions to prevent inadvertent disconnection. The slats are provided with vertical tabs at their ends which fit into vertical holes in the upper surfaces of flanges on the rails. A lock is provided which slides horizontally in the slat to engage and disengage a horizontal hole in the inner edge of the rail flange. A spring applies force to resist unwanted movement of the lock on the slat.
