Definitions
- the invention relates to a bed insert with a slatted frame which, between the head and foot parts, has a central part which can be pivoted independently of the head part about a transverse axis on the foot part side against the force of a support spring.
- Such pivotable middle parts are said to improve the adaptability of a slatted frame to the human body and, above all, to enable the resting person to be in a comfortable, pressure-free position.
- middle parts serving as shoulder parts have hitherto been articulated to the adjacent head part via tab connections, so that these shoulder parts can only be adjusted together with the head parts and a lowering of the shoulder parts inevitably causes the head part to be raised and vice versa.
- the known shoulder parts therefore remain relatively ineffective and cannot meet the expectations placed on them in terms of increasing lying comfort.
- GB-PS 2 198 633 a three-part reclining frame is also shown, the individual support members designed as rigid frames are each individually adjustable and can assume different angular positions. It is a couch especially for the relief of back problems and not a bed insert with resilient grate bars or resilient frame parts.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to eliminate these deficiencies and to create a bed insert of the type described, which is characterized by a particularly good adaptation behavior of its slatted frame in the shoulder area with relatively little construction effort and in particular even in the most extreme lateral position a comfortable, tension-free Rest assured.
- the invention solves this problem in that the middle part forms a shoulder part and the support spring consists of spring leaves which each extend below the side rails of the shoulder part and are clamped on one side in the region of the shoulder part transverse axis.
- This resiliently supported shoulder part can therefore easily adapt to the respective position of the shoulder parts or the like of a resting body and offers the body in this area a compliant, harmoniously with the respective Support that adjusts the pressure profile without affecting the position or support function of the head and foot sections. Since the spring leaves made of spring steel have the required spring characteristics and can be integrated into the bed insert structure in a space-saving and unobtrusive manner, this results in an extremely practical and functional design.
- the shoulder part according to the invention can therefore also be combined with any desired designed and equipped slatted frames and with a wide variety of mattress toppers and always makes a decisive contribution to a noticeable increase in lying quality and sleeping comfort.
- a base frame 1 accommodates a three-part slatted frame 2, which is composed of a head part 3, a foot part 4 and an intermediate shoulder part 5.
- the head and foot sections 3, 4 are each pivotably pivoted up on the base frame 1 via transverse axes 6, 7 on the shoulder section and can be fixed in different swivel positions by means of locking fittings (not shown).
- the Shoulder part 5, is pivotable in the base frame 1 about a transverse axis 8 on the foot part side and is pressed upwards via spring leaves 9 against a stop 10 which determines the normal position.
- the spring leaves 9 are placed in a holding shoe 11, which is supported in a rotationally fixed manner on the two bearing points of the foot part 4 and shoulder part 5 assigned to the transverse axes 7, 8.
- the resiliently swiveling, independent of the adjusting movements of the head or foot part 3, 4 shoulder part 5 enables a good adaptation of the slatted frame 2 to the shoulder area of a resting body and ensures pressure-free, comfortable sleeping even in a lateral position, the functionality and mode of operation of this shoulder part 5 no special training and support of the slats of the slatted frame or a special type of mattress or the like.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Betteinsatz mit einem Lattenrost, der zwischen Kopf- und Fußteil einen unabhängig vom Kopfteil um eine fußteilseitige Querachse gegen die Kraft einer Stützfeder abschwenkbar gelagerten Mittelteil aufweist.The invention relates to a bed insert with a slatted frame which, between the head and foot parts, has a central part which can be pivoted independently of the head part about a transverse axis on the foot part side against the force of a support spring.
Solche schwenkverstellbaren Mittelteile sollen die Anpassungsfähigkeit eines Lattenrostes an den menschlichen Körper verbessern und vor allem eine komfortable, druckfreie Lage des Ruhenden ermöglichen. Allerdings sind bisher als Schulterteile dienende Mittelteile über Laschenverbindungen am benachbarten Kopfteil angelenkt, so daß sich diese Schulterteile nur zusammen mit den Kopfteilen verstellen lassen und eine Schulterteilabsenkung zwangsweise ein Anheben des Kopfteiles bedingt und umgekehrt. Die bekannten Schulterteile bleiben daher verhältnismäßig wirkungslos und können die in sie gesetzten Erwartungen hinsichtlich einer Steigerung des Liegekomforts nicht erfüllen.Such pivotable middle parts are said to improve the adaptability of a slatted frame to the human body and, above all, to enable the resting person to be in a comfortable, pressure-free position. However, middle parts serving as shoulder parts have hitherto been articulated to the adjacent head part via tab connections, so that these shoulder parts can only be adjusted together with the head parts and a lowering of the shoulder parts inevitably causes the head part to be raised and vice versa. The known shoulder parts therefore remain relatively ineffective and cannot meet the expectations placed on them in terms of increasing lying comfort.
Darüber hinaus gibt es gemäß der DE-PS 558 323 auch schon mehrgliedrige Bettmatratzenroste, die zwischen einem starren Unterschenkel- und Fußstützteil und einem einzeln abgefederte Roststäbe aufnehmenden Rumpfstützteil einen unabhängig vom Kopfteil um eine fußteilseitige Querachse schwenkbaren Mittelteil umfassen, wobei hier jedoch der über Schraubenfedern federnd abgestützte Mittelteil das Gesäß unterstützen soll, während der neben den gefederten auch starre Roststäbe aufweisende Rumpfstützteil zur Abstützung von Kopf und Rumpf dient. Es entsteht eine recht aufwendige Konstruktion, die aber die speziellen Abstützverhältnisse gerade im Schulterbereich, also im Übergangsbereich zwischen Kopf und Rumpf unberücksichtigt läßt.In addition, according to DE-PS 558 323 there are already multi-unit bed mattress gratings, which independently of one of the torso support parts between a rigid lower leg and foot support part and an individually sprung grate bars Include the head part pivotable about a transverse axis on the foot part side, but here the middle part, which is spring-supported by coil springs, is intended to support the buttocks, while the torso support part, which also has rigid grate bars, serves to support the head and torso. The result is a rather complex construction, which does not take into account the special support conditions, especially in the shoulder area, i.e. in the transition area between head and torso.
In der GB-PS 2 198 633 ist weiters ein dreigliedriges Liegegestell gezeigt, dessen einzelne, als starre Rahmen ausgebildete Stützglieder jeweils für sich verstellbar sind und verschiedene Winkellagen einnehmen können. Es handelt sich dabei um eine Liege insbesondere zur Linderung von Rückenleiden und nicht um einen Betteinsatz mit federnden Roststäben oder federnden Rahmenteilen.In GB-
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, diese Mängel zu beseitigen und einen Betteinsatz der eingangs geschilderten Art zu schaffen, der sich bei verhältnismäßig geringem Bauaufwand durch ein besonders gutes Anpassungsverhalten seines Lattenrostes im Schulterbereich auszeichnet und insbesondere auch in noch so extremer Seitenlage ein bequemes, spannungsfreies Ruhen gewährleistet.The invention is therefore based on the object to eliminate these deficiencies and to create a bed insert of the type described, which is characterized by a particularly good adaptation behavior of its slatted frame in the shoulder area with relatively little construction effort and in particular even in the most extreme lateral position a comfortable, tension-free Rest assured.
Die Erfindung löst diese Aufgabe dadurch, daß der Mittelteil einen Schulterteil bildet und die Stützfeder aus Federblättern besteht, die sich jeweils unterhalb der Seitenholme des Schulterteiles erstrecken und einseitig im Bereich der Schulterteil-Querachse eingespannt sind. Dieser federnd nachgiebig abgestützte Schulterteil kann sich daher zwanglos an die jeweilige Lage der Schulterpartien od. dgl. eines ruhenden Körpers angleichen und bietet dem Körper in diesem Bereich eine nachgiebige, harmonisch sich auf das jeweilige Druckprofil einstellende Auflage, ohne Position oder Stützfunktion der Kopf- und Fußteile zu beeinträchtigen. Da die Federblätter aus entsprechendem Federstahl die erforderliche Federcharakteristik mit sich bringen und sich platzsparend und unauffällig in den Aufbau des Betteinsatzes integrieren lassen, ergibt sich eine überaus zweckmäßige und funktionsgerechte Konstruktion. Der erfindungsgemäße Schulterteil kann daher auch mit beliebig ausgebildeten und ausgestatteten Lattenrosten und mit den verschiedensten Matratzenauflagen kombiniert werden und trägt stets entscheidend zu einer spürbaren Erhöhung der Liegequalität und des Schlafkomforts bei.The invention solves this problem in that the middle part forms a shoulder part and the support spring consists of spring leaves which each extend below the side rails of the shoulder part and are clamped on one side in the region of the shoulder part transverse axis. This resiliently supported shoulder part can therefore easily adapt to the respective position of the shoulder parts or the like of a resting body and offers the body in this area a compliant, harmoniously with the respective Support that adjusts the pressure profile without affecting the position or support function of the head and foot sections. Since the spring leaves made of spring steel have the required spring characteristics and can be integrated into the bed insert structure in a space-saving and unobtrusive manner, this results in an extremely practical and functional design. The shoulder part according to the invention can therefore also be combined with any desired designed and equipped slatted frames and with a wide variety of mattress toppers and always makes a decisive contribution to a noticeable increase in lying quality and sleeping comfort.
Günstig ist es zudem, wenn die Federblätter mit ihrem fußteilseitigen Ende in einem an den benachbarten Lagerstellen von Schulter- und Fußteil abgestützten Halteschuh stecken, da ein solcher Halteschuh als einfacher Beschlag wirtschaftlich herstellbar ist und eine geschickt montierbare, ausreichend stabile Federeinspannung mit sich bringt.It is also favorable if the spring leaves are inserted with their end on the foot part side into a holding shoe supported on the adjacent bearing points of the shoulder and foot part, since such a holding shoe can be economically manufactured as a simple fitting and entails adequately stable, sufficiently stable spring clamping.

Ein Grundrahmen 1 nimmt einen dreiteiligen Lattenrost 2 auf, der sich aus einem Kopfteil 3, einem Fußteil 4 und einem dazwischenliegenden Schulterteil 5 zusammensetzt. Kopf- und Fußteil 3, 4 sind dabei jeweils über schulterteilseitige Querachsen 6, 7 hochschwenkbar am Grundrahmen 1 angelenkt und über nicht weiter dargestellte Feststellbeschläge in verschiedenen Schwenkstellungen fixierbar. Der Schulterteil 5 hingegen lagert um eine fußteilseitige Querachse 8 abschwenkbar im Grundrahmen 1 und wird über Federblätter 9 aufwärts gegen einen die Normallage bestimmenden Anschlag 10 gedrückt. Die als Stützfeder dienenden, sich jeweils unterhalb der beiden Seitenholme 5a des Schulterteiles 5 erstreckenden Federblätter 9 sind im Bereich der Querachse 8 eingespannt und legen sich, kopfteilseitig frei vorragend, an den Holmen 5a an. Zur Einspannung stecken die Federblätter 9 in einem Halteschuh 11, der sich drehfest an den beiden den Querachsen 7, 8 zugeordneten Lagerstellen von Fußteil 4 und Schulterteil 5 abstützt.A
Der federnd nachgiebig abschwenkbare, von den Stellbewegungen des Kopf- oder Fußteiles 3, 4 unabhängige Schulterteil 5 ermöglicht eine gute Anpassung des Lattenrostes 2 an den Schulterbereich eines ruhenden Körpers und gewährleistet ein druckfreies, bequemes Schlafen auch in Seitenlage, wobei die Funktionstüchtigkeit und Wirkungsweise dieses Schulterteiles 5 keine besondere Ausbildung und Abstützung der Latten des Lattenrostes oder eine besondere Matratzenart od. dgl. voraussetzen.The resiliently swiveling, independent of the adjusting movements of the head or
