Definitions
- the invention relates to a support for a lying or seated person with a molded body which exerts forces on the person to stretch them and which is designed as a cushion in the form of a mattress, couch or a seat.
- Known cushions with spring or foam cores are designed so that the shaped bodies and springs serve to achieve lying comfort and the spring effect, that is to say they do not cause a specific extension of the support.
- Multi-layer cushions are known in which either the surface, the intermediate layer or the underside have corrugations which essentially serve to create cavities for better ventilation.
- a foam core of a cushion is known which has groove-shaped air gaps, which each form a coherent ventilation network on the top and bottom of the core.
- Three-layer upholstery is known from Austrian patent specification No. 230050, the middle layer of which has a wavy or wrinkled shape.
- this design serves exclusively to achieve a special spring characteristic in the vertical plane due to the inclined legs of the shaped body of the middle layer.
- a longitudinal expansion of the upholstery is not intended and is prevented by the three-layer structure and the lack of molded molded parts.
- The. invention has for its object to form a support of the type mentioned so that it is possible to effectively stretch a horizontally lying person without the need to specifically position the person on the support, as well as a lying to seated person depending on the backrest angle to effectively relieve pressure when the support surface is closed or almost closed. Furthermore, the invention is intended to enable an inexpensive edition which is easy to handle and which permits targeted individual storage and stretching adjustment, up to blocking of the stretching effect. A requirement is also to be created. which, in addition to the stretching effect, automatically supports the contours of the body in all reclining positions.
- the shaped body is designed as a stretched shaped body with a wrinkle-like nature, in such a way that, when a compressive stress is exerted transversely to its longitudinal axis, it has an added extension of its projected length from the center of pressure to the right and left in the area which is subject to pressure is applied, and that the stretch molded body rests on a storage molded body which has movably mounted spring elements which enables longitudinal stretching of the stretch molded body with low counter resistance.
- the coherent stretch-molded body enables the stretching path to be added, as a result of which the stretching effect can be applied more intensively to the body of a person lying on the body than is achieved by known conditions. Also in contrast to this, the coherent stretch-molded body enables a stretching action that always starts automatically from the pressure load center, as from the lumbar vertebra area of the person lying on, regardless of the lying position.
- the stretch-molded body In order that the stretch-molded body is allowed an unimpeded longitudinal stretching, it lies on a storage molded body which has movably mounted spring elements which enable a longitudinal stretching of the stretch-molded body with little counter resistance.
- the shaped storage body which is distinguished by a particular longitudinal elasticity, can be located either under, behind or on the stretched shaped body and can be firmly connected to it in a cushioning unit, or stretched shaped body and shaped storage body can form separate, loosely lying units.
- the stretch-molded body designed as a slatted base consists of several rows of levers which are connected to one another in an articulated manner, which are connected to crossbars and are mounted in longitudinal grooves and are brought into a fold-shaped position with a smaller leg angle by means of support springs, as a result of which a compressive force is exerted on the upper legs Joints stretching the length is caused.
- the levers are connected to each other by cross slats and thus form a stretched body slat base.
- the direct support for the body of the person lying on it consists of one or more elastic molded parts which, due to a special cross-sectional shape, are particularly elastic in the longitudinal direction and thus transmit the elongation of the expanded-body slatted base frame to the body of the person.
- Pad and slatted frame are preferably separate.
- Loose units are formed, but can also form a cushion unit when used as a backrest.
- Mechanical limitations and interlocks enable the stretching action to be blocked if necessary.
- An embodiment with central suspension enables a continuous, individual regulation of the stretching effect.
- the support designed according to the invention without mechanical limitation, central adjustment is particularly characterized by a surface that not only deflects under load, but also bulges automatically at locations with little or no contact pressure due to the shape of the stretch-molded body. This results in an automatic adjustment to the body contour of the person lying on it in any lying position. Body curvatures such as those in the cervical vertebrae area are filled in, which means that the stretching action is automatically transferred to the cervical vertebrae area without a neck roller or neck pillow.
- the gradation in the shoulder / head area of a person lying on the side which is significantly enlarged due to the arching, enables a straight spine posture without adjusting the upper part of the support and without pillows, which means that a straight lying posture is automatically given both in the back and in the lateral position.
- the molded body is designed as a stretch-molded body with a wrinkle-like nature, such that it has an added extension of its projected length from the center of pressure to the right and left in the case of a compressive stress exerted transversely to its longitudinal axis Area which is subjected to pressure, and that downward-directed supports made of elastic material are integrally formed on the stretch-molded body,

- Fig. 2 shows the body support of Fig. 1 in the loaded state.
- the folds of the stretch-molded body 1 are pressed into a flatter (larger) angle 4 by the weight of the person lying on it, depending on the contact pressure. This creates an extension 11 (extension) of the projected length in the area of the pressurization.
- the stretching 11 takes place automatically from the pressure loading center 10 to the left and right. In the areas without or only with slight pressure, a reduction in the fold angle 5 results in an arching of the body support.
- the stretched molded body 1 is made possible by the shaped support body 2 made of elastic material, which in the present application example consists of ribs 6 and an end plate 7 made of foam.
- the fold-like stretch-molded body 1 is covered with a soft, permanently elastic material 8, for example foam with a density of 15 to 30 kg / m 'and provided with an elastic cover 9.
- FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a stretching tower body 12 with a shape cut that has an almost closed, top-fitting support surface. in one molded part.
- the required elasticity of the wedges 15 filling the spaces between the folds is achieved by the spring taper 16.
- various spring supports are shown, for example made of foam 13 and spring wire 14, each of which brings about a slightly different spring characteristic.
- FIG. 4 and 5 show exemplary embodiments of a stretch-molded body (12) with different, downwardly directed supports (19, 20) and an almost closed top of the support, which are produced in one molded part.
- the fold spaces between the top of the support are filled by molded corners (15).
- the supports (19) are formed vertically.
- Fig. 5 shows supports (20) which are formed obliquely to the center of the support.
- 6 and 7 show an exemplary embodiment in which the stretch-molded body 22 and the molded bearing body 23-24 are designed in a spring wire construction.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Auflage für eine liegende oder sitzende Person mit einem Formkörper, der auf die Person Kräfte zu deren Streckung ausübt und der als Polster in Form einer Matratze, Liege oder eines Sitzes ausgebildee ist.The invention relates to a support for a lying or seated person with a molded body which exerts forces on the person to stretch them and which is designed as a cushion in the form of a mattress, couch or a seat.
Bekannte Polster mit Feder- oder Schaumstoffkernen sind so ausgebildet, daß die Formkörper und Federn zur Erzielung des Liegekomforts und der Federwirkung dienen, also keine gezielte Auflagenstreckung bewirken.Known cushions with spring or foam cores are designed so that the shaped bodies and springs serve to achieve lying comfort and the spring effect, that is to say they do not cause a specific extension of the support.
Es sind mehrschichtige Polster bekannt, bei denen entweder Oberfläche, Zwischenlage oder Unterseite Wellungen aufweisen, die im wesentlichen dazu dienen, Hohlräume zur besseren Belüftung zu schaffen. Durch die Offenlegungsschrift DE 3023287 Al ist ein Schaumstoffkern eines Polsters bekannt, der nutenförmige Luftspalte aufweist, die auf der Kernoberseite und auf der Kernunterseite jeweils ein zusammenhängendes Entlüftungsnetz bilden.Multi-layer cushions are known in which either the surface, the intermediate layer or the underside have corrugations which essentially serve to create cavities for better ventilation. From the published patent application DE 3023287 A1, a foam core of a cushion is known which has groove-shaped air gaps, which each form a coherent ventilation network on the top and bottom of the core.
Durch die Österreichische Patentschrift Nr. 230050 sind dreischichtige Polster bekannt, deren Mittelschicht eine wellen- oder faltenförmige Beschaffenheit aufweist. DieSe Ausführung dient jedoch ausschließlich dazu, daß durch die schrägstehenden Schenkel des Formkörpers der Mittelschicht eine besondere Federcharakteristik in der Vertikalebene erreicht wird. Eine Längsausdehnung des Polsters ist nicht beabsichtigt und wird durch Dreischichtaufbau und fehlenden Lagerungsformkörper verhindert.Three-layer upholstery is known from Austrian patent specification No. 230050, the middle layer of which has a wavy or wrinkled shape. However, this design serves exclusively to achieve a special spring characteristic in the vertical plane due to the inclined legs of the shaped body of the middle layer. A longitudinal expansion of the upholstery is not intended and is prevented by the three-layer structure and the lack of molded molded parts.
Es ist ferner durch das Europäische Patent EP 0036 158 Bl eine Auflage bekannt, die eine gTingfügige, von einem Scheitelpunkt nach rechts und links ausgehende, sich nicht addierende Streckung der Auflageoberseite bewirkt. Auf vorgenannter Auflage muß die Person mit dem Lendenwirbelbereich gezielt positioniert auf dem Scheitelpunkt gelagert werden, um die erwünschte Streckwirkung in der wirksamsten Weise auf die Wirbelsäule zu übertragen. Ferner weist diese Auflage eine Auflagenoberfläch auf, die funktionsbedingt von breiten Zwischenräumen durchzogen ist und deshalb beim Benutzer auf Ablehnung stößt.It is also known from the European patent EP 0036 158 B1 an overlay, which causes a slight extension of the top side of the overlay, starting from an apex to the right and left, which does not add up. On the abovementioned edition, the person with the lumbar vertebra area must be positioned in a targeted manner on the vertex in order to transfer the desired stretching effect to the spine in the most effective way. Furthermore, this support has a support surface that is functionally interspersed with wide gaps and is therefore rejected by the user.
Der. Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde eine Auflage der eingangs genannten Art so auszubilden, daß es möglich ist, eine horizontal liegende Person wirksam zu strecken, ohne daß eine gezielte Positionierung der Person auf der Auflage notwendig wird, sowie eine liegend bis sitzend gelagerte Person je nach Lehnenwinkel bei geschlossener oder nahezu geschlossener Auflageoberfläche jeweils effektiv wirksam zu entlasten. Ferner soll durch die Erfindung eine einfach zu handhabende preisgünstige Auflage ermöglicht werden, die eine gezielte individuelle Lagergerungs- und Streckungsanpassung bis hin zur Blockierung der Streckwirkung ermöglicht. Es soll ferner eine Auflage geschaffen werden. die zusätzlich zur Streckwirkung eine körpergerechte Unterstützung der Körperkonturen in allen Liegepositiunen automatisch ermöglicht.The. The invention has for its object to form a support of the type mentioned so that it is possible to effectively stretch a horizontally lying person without the need to specifically position the person on the support, as well as a lying to seated person depending on the backrest angle to effectively relieve pressure when the support surface is closed or almost closed. Furthermore, the invention is intended to enable an inexpensive edition which is easy to handle and which permits targeted individual storage and stretching adjustment, up to blocking of the stretching effect. A requirement is also to be created. which, in addition to the stretching effect, automatically supports the contours of the body in all reclining positions.
Diese Aufgabe ist erfindungsgamäß dadurch gelöst, daß der Formkörper als Streckformkörper mit faltenartiger Beschaffenheit ausgebildet ist, derart, daß er bei einer quer zu seiner Längsachse ausgeübten Druckbeanspruchung eine vom Druckmittelpunkt nach rechts und links gehende addierte Streckung seiner projezierten Länge in dem Bereich, der mit Druck beaufschlagt wird, aufweist, und daß der Streckformkörper auf einem Lagerungsformkörper aufliegt, welcher beweglich gelagerte Federelemente aufweist, die eine Längsstreckung des Streckformkörpers bei geringem Gegenwiderstand ermöglicht.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the shaped body is designed as a stretched shaped body with a wrinkle-like nature, in such a way that, when a compressive stress is exerted transversely to its longitudinal axis, it has an added extension of its projected length from the center of pressure to the right and left in the area which is subject to pressure is applied, and that the stretch molded body rests on a storage molded body which has movably mounted spring elements which enables longitudinal stretching of the stretch molded body with low counter resistance.
Durch die Wahl flacher, das heißt großer Schenkelwinkel im Streckformkörper läßt sich eine große Streckkraft bei geringem Widerstandsmoment erreichen. Der zusammenhängende Sreckformkörper ermöglicht eine Addierung des Streckweges, wodurch eine intensivere Aufbringung der Streckwirkung auf den Körper einer aufliegenden Person möglich ist, als dies durch bekannte Auflagen erreicht wird. Ebenfalls im Gegensatz hierzu ermöglicht der zusammenhängende Streckformkörper eine Streckwirkung, die automatisch immer vom Druckbelastungszentrum, als vom Lendenwirbelbereich der aufliegenden Person ausgeht, ganz unabhängig von der Liegeposition.By choosing a flat, that is to say a large leg angle in the stretch-molded body, a large stretching force can be achieved with a low section modulus. The coherent stretch-molded body enables the stretching path to be added, as a result of which the stretching effect can be applied more intensively to the body of a person lying on the body than is achieved by known conditions. Also in contrast to this, the coherent stretch-molded body enables a stretching action that always starts automatically from the pressure load center, as from the lumbar vertebra area of the person lying on, regardless of the lying position.
- Damit dem Streckformkörper eine ungehinderte Längsstreckung ermöglicht wird, lisgt dieser auf einem Lagerungsformkörper auf , welcher beweglich gelagerte Federelemente aufweist, die eine Längsstreckung des Streckformkörpers bei geringem Gegenwiderstand ermöglichen. Der Lagerungsformkörper, der sich durch eine besondere Längselastizität auszeichnet, kann sich entweder unter, hinter oder auf dem Streckformkörper befinden und kann mit diesem fest in einer Polstereinheit verbunden sein oder es können Streckformkörper und Lagerungsformkörper separate, lose aufeinander liegende Einheiten bilden.- In order that the stretch-molded body is allowed an unimpeded longitudinal stretching, it lies on a storage molded body which has movably mounted spring elements which enable a longitudinal stretching of the stretch-molded body with little counter resistance. The shaped storage body, which is distinguished by a particular longitudinal elasticity, can be located either under, behind or on the stretched shaped body and can be firmly connected to it in a cushioning unit, or stretched shaped body and shaped storage body can form separate, loosely lying units.
Eine Weiterbildung besteht darin, daß der als Lattenuntergestell ausgebildete Streckformkörper aus mehereren Reihen gelenkig miteinander verbundener Hebel bestehen, die mit Querlatten verbunden und in Längsnuten gelagert sind und durch Stützfedern in eine faltenförmige Stellung mit kleinerem Schenkelwinkel gebracht werden, wodurch beim Ausüben einer Druckkraft auf die oberen Gelenke eine Streckung der Länge bewirkt wird. Die Hebel sind miteinander durch Querlatten verbunden und bilden somit ein Streckformkörper-Lattenuntergestell. Die direkte Auflage für den Körper der aufliegenden Person besteht bei dieser Ausbildung aus einem oder meheren elastischen Formteilen, die durch eine besondere Querschnittsform besonders in Längsrichtung elastisch sind und somit die Streckung des Streckformkörper-Lattenuntergestells auf den Körper der Person überträgt. Auflage und Lattengestell sind vorzugsweise als separate. lose aufeinander liegende Einheiten ausgebildet, können jedoch bei Verwendung als Rückenlehne auch eine Polstereinheit bilden. Mechanische Begrenzungen und Verriegelungen ermöglichen im Bedarfsfalle eine Blockierung der Streckwirkung. Ein Ausführungsbeispiel mit Zentralfederung ermöglicht eine stufenlose, individuelle Regulierung der Streckwirkung.A further development consists in the fact that the stretch-molded body designed as a slatted base consists of several rows of levers which are connected to one another in an articulated manner, which are connected to crossbars and are mounted in longitudinal grooves and are brought into a fold-shaped position with a smaller leg angle by means of support springs, as a result of which a compressive force is exerted on the upper legs Joints stretching the length is caused. The levers are connected to each other by cross slats and thus form a stretched body slat base. In this embodiment, the direct support for the body of the person lying on it consists of one or more elastic molded parts which, due to a special cross-sectional shape, are particularly elastic in the longitudinal direction and thus transmit the elongation of the expanded-body slatted base frame to the body of the person. Pad and slatted frame are preferably separate. Loose units are formed, but can also form a cushion unit when used as a backrest. Mechanical limitations and interlocks enable the stretching action to be blocked if necessary. An embodiment with central suspension enables a continuous, individual regulation of the stretching effect.
Die erfindungsgemäß ausgeführte Auflage ohne mechanische Begrenzung, Zentralverstellung zeichnet sich besonders durch eine Oberfläche aus, die bei Belastung nicht nur einfedert, sondern durch die Formgebung des Streckformkörpers an Stellen mit keinem oder nur geringem Auflagedruck automatisch aufwölbt. Daraus ergibt sich eine automatische Anpassung an die Körperkontur der aufliegenden Person in jeder Liegeposition. Körperwölbungen wie zum Beispiel im Halswirbelbereich werden ausgefüllt, wodurch eine Übertragung der Streckwirkyng auf den Halswirbelbereich automatisch und ohne Nackenhalbrolle oder Nackenkissen möglich wird.The support designed according to the invention without mechanical limitation, central adjustment is particularly characterized by a surface that not only deflects under load, but also bulges automatically at locations with little or no contact pressure due to the shape of the stretch-molded body. This results in an automatic adjustment to the body contour of the person lying on it in any lying position. Body curvatures such as those in the cervical vertebrae area are filled in, which means that the stretching action is automatically transferred to the cervical vertebrae area without a neck roller or neck pillow.
Ferner ermöglicht die durch die Aufwölbung wesentlich vergrößerte Abstufung im Schulter-/Kopfbereich einer seitlich gelagerten Person eine gerade Wirbelsäulenhaltung ohne Verstellen des Auflageoberteils und ohne Kissen, wodurch sowohl in Rücken- als auch in Seitenlage automatisch eine gerade Liegehaltung gegeben ist.Furthermore, the gradation in the shoulder / head area of a person lying on the side, which is significantly enlarged due to the arching, enables a straight spine posture without adjusting the upper part of the support and without pillows, which means that a straight lying posture is automatically given both in the back and in the lateral position.
Eine andere,besonders einfach herzustellende Lösung der Aufgabe besteht darin, daß der Formkörper als Streckformkörper mit faltenartiger Beschaffenheit ausgebildet ist, derart, daß er bei einer quer zu seiner Längsachse ausgeübten Druckbeanspruchung eine vom Druckmittelpunkt nach rechts und links gehende addierte Streckung seiner projezierten Länge in dem Bereich, der mit Druck beaufschlagt wird, aufweist, und daß an dem Streckformkörper nach unten gerichtete Stützen aus elastischem Material einstückig angeformt sind,Another particularly simple solution to the problem is that the molded body is designed as a stretch-molded body with a wrinkle-like nature, such that it has an added extension of its projected length from the center of pressure to the right and left in the case of a compressive stress exerted transversely to its longitudinal axis Area which is subjected to pressure, and that downward-directed supports made of elastic material are integrally formed on the stretch-molded body,
die diese Längsstreckung ermöglichen.that enable this longitudinal extension.

Die Streckung 11 .erfolgt automatisch vom Druckbelastungszentrum 10 ausgehend nach links und rechts. In den Bereichen ohne oder nur mit geringer Druckbeaufschlagung entsteht durch Verkleinerung des Faltenwinkels 5 eine Aufwölbung der Körperauflage. Durch den Lagerungsformkörper 2 aus elastischem Material, der im vorliegenden Anwendungsbeispiel aus Rippen 6 und einer Abschlußplatte 7 aus Schaumstoff besteht, wird die Streckung des Streckformkörpers 1 ermöglicht. Zur Schaffung einer körpergerechten Auflageoberseite ist der faltenartige Streckformkörper 1 mit einem weichen dauerelastischen Material 8 bedeckt, beispielsweise Schaumstoff mit einem Raumgewicht von 15 bis 30 kg/m' und darüber mit einem elastischen Bezug 9 versehen.Fig. 2 shows the body support of Fig. 1 in the loaded state. The folds of the stretch-molded body 1 are pressed into a flatter (larger)
Die Fig. 3 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines Streckfurmkörpers 12 mit einem Formzuschnitt, der eine nahezu geschlossene körpergerechte Auflageoberseite. in einem Formteil ermöglicht. Die erforderliche Elastizität der die Faltenzwischenräume ausfüllenden Keile 15 wird durch die Federverjüngung 16 erreicht. Im Lagerungsformkörper2 werden verschiedene Federlagerungen dargestellt zum Beispiel aus Schaumstoff 13 und Federdraht 14, die jeweils eine etwas andere Federcharakteristik bewirken.FIG. 3 shows an embodiment of a
Fig 4 und 5 zeigen Ausführungsbeispiele eines Streckformkörpers (12) mit verschiedenen, nach unten gerichteten Stützen (19, 20), sowie einer nahezu geschlossen Auflagenoberseite, die in einem Formteil her-gestellt sind. Die Faltenzwischenräume der Auflageoberseite werden durch angeformte Ecken (15) ausgefüllt. In Fig. 4 sind die Stützen (19) senkrecht angeformt. Fig. 5 zeigt Stützen (20), die schräg zur Mitte der Auflage angeformt sind. Die Fig. 6 und 7 zeigen ein Ausführungsbeispiel, bei der Streckformkörper 22 und Lagerungsformkörper 23-24 in Federdrahtkonstruktion ausgeführt sind. Der Streckformkörper aus Draht 22 weist im Querschnitt der Fig. 6 die erfindungsgemäße Faltenform auf. In der Draufsicht der Fig. 7 besitzt dieser Streckformkörper 22 einen S-förmigen Biegungsverlauf, der eine Verbindung der Drahtkörper 22 untereinander durch Verflechten ermöglicht. Die Federelemente 23 sind mittels dem Stand der Technik entsprechender Befestigungselemente 21 mit diesem Streckformkörpergeflecht verbunden. Die Unterseite ist in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel ebenfalls mit einem Streckformkörper 24 versehen, was grundsätzlich bei allen polstermöbelartigen Körperauflagen möglich ist, um deren Anpassungsfähigkeit zum Beispiel an verstellbare Bettrahmen zu vergrößern.4 and 5 show exemplary embodiments of a stretch-molded body (12) with different, downwardly directed supports (19, 20) and an almost closed top of the support, which are produced in one molded part. The fold spaces between the top of the support are filled by molded corners (15). In Fig. 4, the supports (19) are formed vertically. Fig. 5 shows supports (20) which are formed obliquely to the center of the support. 6 and 7 show an exemplary embodiment in which the stretch-molded
In Fig. 8, 9 und 10 ist der Streckformkörper als Lattenuntergestell ausgebildet, welcher aus faltenförmig angeordneten Hebeln 38 besteht, die durch Drehachsen 39 verbunden sind und in der Längsnut 40 des Längsrahmens 25 längsverschiebbar gelagert sind. Die Querlatten 26 sind mittels Winkel über Drehachsen 27 mit den Hebeln 38 an den oberen Gelenken verbunden. Die Stützfederung 28 befindet sich zwischen den Querlatten 26 und den Haltern 29, die am Längsrahmen 25 befestigt sind. Die erforderliche Vorspannung der Stützfedern 28 kann durch einen dem Stand der Technik entsprechenden Federanschlag erreicht werden, der nur lose mit den Querlatten 26 verbunden ist, wodurch auch in diesem Ausführungsbeispiel eine Aufwölbung des Streckformkörpers und somit der Körperauflage 30, 41 möglich ist. Durch Drehwinkelbegrenzungen 33 an den Hebeln 38, die ebenfalls als Federanschläge dienen können, wird eine Aufwölbung verhindert. Es wird jedoch die Möglichkeit geschaffen, durch Verriegelungen, die sich an Anfang und Ende der Längsnut 40 des Längsrahmens 25 befinden können, im Bedarfsfalle eine Blockierung der Streckung herbeizuführen. Die Körperauflage wird durch einen elastischen Formkörper, beispielsweise Schaumstoff 30 oder Federkern 41, gebildet, dem durch Formeinschnitte 31 und einem elastischen Bezug 9 eine besondere Längselastizität verliehen wird.8, 9 and 10, the stretch-molded body is designed as a slatted base frame, which consists of fold-shaped
Fig. 9 zeigt die Körperauflage und das Lattenuntergestell im Zustand der Druckbeaufschlagung 18, bei dem die Formeinschnitte 31 der Körperauflage wegen der Streckung 17 Spalten 32 aufweisen.FIG. 9 shows the body support and the slatted base frame in the state of the
Die Fig. 10 zeigt ein Ausführungsbeispiel eines als Lattenuntergestell ausgebildeten Streckformkörpers, der mit Zentralfederung 34 am Ende des Längsrahmens 25 versehen ist, die sich auf einer Anschlagachse 35 befindet. Durch Verschiebung des Anschlags 36 in Richtung auf den Festanschlag 37 läßt sich die Federspannung und somit die Streckkraft individuell verstellen bis hin zur Blockierung der Streckung.FIG. 10 shows an exemplary embodiment of a stretch-molded body designed as a slatted base frame, which is provided with
