Abstract

A two position floor lock and caster assembly for a bed or the like includes a bracket adapted to be secured to the bed frame. A pair of links have ends pivoted to the bracket and free ends. A socket is pivotally joined to the free ends of the links so that rotation of the links raises and lowers the socket. A caster may be secured to the bracket or attached to the socket. A foot or floor lock may be secured to the bracket or the socket. A crank assembly is operatively connected to the links for raising and lowering the socket to move the floor lock or caster into operative engagement with the floor.
