AI Technical Summary
Existing bed enclosing devices lack stability and ease of assembly, often requiring multiple connecting means such as screws or rivets, which complicates installation and increases the number of components.
A bed enclosing device with integrally formed connecting elements on frame elements, allowing for a direct, detachable plug connection without additional fasteners, using a corner connecting unit with correspondingly configured tabs to form a stable, one-piece structure.
The solution provides a stable and easy-to-assemble bed enclosing device that can be quickly installed by end-users, reducing the need for additional connecting means and minimizing the number of parts.

Abstract
Claims
[1] Bed edging device, in particular bed edging, with at least one first frame element (12) which is intended to delimit a first side of a bed (14), with at least one second frame element (16) which is intended to delimit a second side of a bed (14), and with at least one corner connection unit (18, 18', 18'', 18''') which is intended to connect the first frame element (12) to the second frame element (16), characterized by that the corner connection unit (18, 18', 18'', 18''') has a first connecting element (20) connected in one piece to the first frame element (12) and a second connecting element (22) connected in one piece to the second frame element (16), wherein the first connecting element (20) is provided for a direct, detachable connection to the second connecting element (22) free of any further connecting means. [2] Bed edging device according to claim 1, characterized by in that the first frame element (12) has at least one side wall (24) which extends parallel to a main extension plane of the first frame element (12), wherein the first connecting element (20) directly adjoins the side wall (24) and extends away from the side wall (24) at an angle of at least approximately 45°. [3] Bed edging device according to claim 1 or 2, characterized by that the first connecting element (20) is formed by a tab, in particular a sheet metal tab. [4] Bed edging device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by in that the second frame element (16) has at least one side wall (26) which extends parallel to a main extension plane of the second frame element (16), wherein the second connecting element (22) directly adjoins the side wall (26) and extends away from the side wall (26) at an angle of at least approximately 45°. [5] Bed edging device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the second connecting element (22) is formed by a tab (38), in particular a sheet metal tab, with a fold (28), wherein the fold (28) is intended to partially encompass the first connecting element (20). [6] Bed edging device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the first frame element (12), the second frame element (16) and the corner connection unit (18) consist at least to a large extent of a steel sheet. [7] Bed edging device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that the first frame element (12) and the second frame element (16) each have a material thickness between 1 mm and 3 mm. [8] Bed edging device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized bya third frame element (30) which is intended to delimit a third side of a bed (14), a fourth frame element (32) which is intended to delimit a fourth side of a bed (14), and at least three corner connecting units (18, 18', 18'', 18''') which are provided for connecting the frame elements (12, 16, 30, 32), wherein each of the frame elements (12, 16, 30, 32) is each formed in one piece with at least a first connecting element (20, 20', 20'', 20''') of one of the corner connecting units (18, 18', 18'', 18''') and a second connecting element (22, 22', 22'', 22''') of a further corner connecting unit (18, 18', 18'', 18'''). [9] Bed edging device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized bythat the first connecting element (20) of the first corner connecting unit (18) is arranged at a first end of the first frame element (12) and a second connecting element (22''') of the fourth corner connecting unit (18''') is arranged at a second end facing away from the first end, wherein the first frame element (12) is formed in one piece with the first connecting element (20) of the first corner connecting unit (18) and in one piece with a second connecting element (22''') of the fourth corner connecting unit (18'''). [10] Bed edging device according to one of the preceding claims, characterized by that at least two of the four frame elements (12, 16, 30, 32) are identical. [11] Method for assembling the bed edging device (12) according to one of the preceding claims. [12] Method according to claim 11, characterized bythat the frame elements (12, 16, 30, 32) are pushed into one another via the at least one corner connection unit (18, 18', 18'', 18''') perpendicular to a mounting plane, so that a statically determined system is created.
