Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bed base.
  • a box spring is a flexible part of a bed, which rests in the frame of the bed or on legs (couches, sofa beds, ...) and on which the mattress extends.
  • box springs formed of a wooden box with rigid transverse bars furnished with springs and covered with fabrics; metal box springs or stretched wire mesh.
  • slatted bed bases these include a series of flexible slats, generally made up of several thin strips of beech. The slats are fixed at their ends on a rigid frame, and they are often bent upwards to increase the flexibility stroke.
  • the slatted bed bases have the advantage over the box springs of having a longer life: the springs become soft, while the slats retain their quality.
  • the slatted bases like the metal bases have the disadvantage of having a greater or lesser stiffness when one approaches the frame, or the wooden case: the slats, like the wire mesh, are fixed on a frame, in wood or metal, and it is thanks to this fixing of their end on this stationary frame that said slats and said trellis can acquire the desired elasticity. But it is the center of the battened surface or the canvas and not their edges which is elastic. This mechanical necessity therefore represents a drawback since the box spring is ultimately flexible and pleasant only in the middle.
  • the present invention aims to solve the aforementioned drawbacks, and relates to a slatted frame of the kind consisting of a succession of modules each comprising a slat above carried by a lower support mounted on a rigid central longitudinal beam, and fixed by relative to the ground, characterized in that the lower support and the upper slat are linked by a flexible connecting member in order to allow the relative movements of the elements between them, and in that the modules are separated from each other so that their movements are independent.
  • the bed base according to the invention thus comprises a succession of slats or group of slats whose ends, which are completely independent of one another, no longer rest and are no longer fixed on a rigid frame, but are held by the end of the arm . By their flexibility these can under the weight of a person.
  • the slats or group of slats constituting the bed base can then flex independently of each other, pivot on themselves by the flexibility of the ball joints and thus ensure the flexibility of the bed base, not only near its axis of symmetry, but also at the ends. side.
  • the invention is not limited to box springs with wooden slats but also extends to box springs with metal surfaces, the slats being replaced by lattices of comparable width, and the lower slats by blades, rods or similar.
  • the bed base 1 is of the slatted type, that is to say with elements of semi-rigid, longitudinal surfaces; these elements are intended to receive a mattress and are generally arranged perpendicular to the main axis 2 of the bed.
  • the bed base rests on the ground by a stable and rigid base constituting a fixed structure or member on which the slats will come to bear.
  • the slats 3 are mounted floating: their ends 4 no longer rest on a traditional frame or similar element which prohibits any movement at the ends situated on the same side; the slats are mounted on supports: they are linked to the end 23 of arms 5, flexible like them, which are mounted by their other end to the structure 6, fixed relative to the ground.
  • Slats 3 and support arms 5 being flexible, when a force is applied to the end 4 of a slat, the arm which supports it bends with it towards the arm of a height H, as shown in FIG. 3, opposing a certain resistance to the force F imposed. When this disappears the arm goes up and simultaneously raises the slat to its initial position.
  • the structure or fixed member comprises at least one beam 7 which extends generally parallel to the longitudinal axis 2 of the bed base and over approximately its entire length between the two ends.
  • the beam is mounted irremovably on the base 8.
  • the beam is in one rigid piece and mounted on two end crosspieces 10 carrying the feet 11.
  • the beam comprises several rigid parts 12 articulated around horizontal axes 20.
  • One of the rigid parts 12 ′ is mounted on a support 9 constituting the base.
  • the beam carries a plurality of lower supports or arms 5, flexible, which extend on either side of each of its sides. They preferably extend substantially perpendicular to the axis 2 of the beam, but any other arrangement can be envisaged without departing from the scope of the invention.
  • each satellite 14 has a nozzle 15 or ball joint, made of rubber, intended to receive the end of the upper or lower slats or of all the slats.
  • nozzle 15 or ball joint made of rubber, intended to receive the end of the upper or lower slats or of all the slats.
  • the ball joints 15 have mainly two functions: that first, to allow a certain torsion of the element that it receives (slat or arm) around its longitudinal axis as illustrated in Figure 4-arrow f, that second to allow the relative longitudinal movements of the ends of the elements, slats and arms, during bending: the slats slide one in relation to the other.
  • the semi-rigid mounting of the satellite with the solid part inserted between the lower and upper slats also allows the flexibility of the module to be used in torsion, as indicated by arrow F.
  • the modules 13 are preferably placed on the beam approximately in their middle and perpendicularly: the beam then forms the axis of symmetry of the bed base.
  • the modules 13 are preferably also regularly distributed along the beam, but it is possible on the contrary to provide an irregular distribution, for example tighter at the levels supporting greater forces. It is also possible to use modules with variable characteristics (surface of the slats, intervals, resistances, ...) with constant intervals between modules.
  • the lower batten 5 is mounted on the beam 7, so that the module is carried in a practically irremovable manner by the beam (except dismantling).
  • the assembly is rigid and without play: the slat portion 17 applied to the beam is stationary whatever the forces applied to the upper slats, that is to say on the bed base. This arrangement is important because, without any other additional device, it is this which ensures the general stability of the bed base when a force is applied to the end 4 of one or more slats.
  • the spacing of the feet 11 will preferably be determined so that the support surface corresponds to that of the bed base, in particular in the case of a bed for one person. .
  • the bed base according to the invention thus consists of a succession of upper slats 3 assembled two by two by independent modules 13, resting on a single beam 7, lower, to which they are held.
  • the upper slats are shown curved upwards but they can just as well be rectilinear, the flexibility of the connecting members allowing the movements of the ends of the slats inwards and outwards.
  • the modules are deformable by the flexibility of the upper and lower slats and this deformability ensures flexible vertical travel over the entire length of the module, that is to say including at the ends 4.
  • the invention can be implemented with different surface elements, both slats and stretched canvas, in particular by the use of elements made of composite materials.
