Definitions

• This invention relates to a mattress or a mattress sup ⁇ porting structure comprising a plurality of slats intercon ⁇ nected by means of flexible material. It is an object of the invention to render such a slatted base, which is known per se, more flexible.
• the mattress or mattress supporting structure is characterized in that the slats are each sup ⁇ ported by a spring means and this combination is integrated in a resilient mass, such as, for example, foam plastic.
• a resilient mass such as, for example, foam plastic.
• the mattress or mattress supporting structure may consist of a plurality of parts constructed according to the above, and these parts may be hingedly connected together for easy adaptation to beds whose supporting surface consists of a plurality of parts which can be set at an angle to each other.
• the supporting structure may be supported by a rigid frame. This rigid frame may be connected through a resilient connection to a bed frame disposed outwardly of said " rigid frame.
• the mattress or mattress supporting struc ⁇ ture may be covered in known manner by a mattress protecting underlay.
• the bed is characterized in that the flexible material and the spring means are coupled to form one single re- siliently elastic strip.
• Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the bed according to the invention, but with the parts shown in spaced relationship
• Fig. 2 shows, on a larger scale, the detail indicated by A in Fig. 1;
• Fig. 3 shows a side-elevational view of a second embodi ⁇ ment of the bed according to the invention
• Fig. 4 shows, on an enlarged scale, a cross-sectional view, taken on the line IV-IV of Fig. 3;
• Fig. 5 shows a perspective, partially exploded view simi ⁇ lar to Fig. 1 of a different embodiment of the mattress sup ⁇ porting structure according to the invention;
• Fig. 6 shows, on an enlarged scale, a detail of the structure of Fig. 5.
• a bed according to the inven ⁇ tion includes a surrounding structure or bedstead 1 with legs 2.
• a mattress supporting struc ⁇ ture 3 can be disposed, on the top of which a mattress 4 can rest.
• the mattress supporting struc ⁇ ture 3 is composed of a plurality of parts 5 interconnected by means of hinges 6.
• each part 5 consists of a plurality of slats 7, each supported by a resilient member 8.
• Each combination of slat and resilient element is received in a resilient, in this case foam plastic composition 9.
• the mattress supporting structure is covered with a mattress protecting underlay 10.
• the mattress supporting structure is, as a whole, housed in a cover not shown in Figs. 1 and 2.
• the mattress sup- porting structure is in turn supported by a support 12 which by means of a resilient hinge 13 is connected to a bed frame 14.
• a support 12 which by means of a resilient hinge 13 is connected to a bed frame 14.
• Figs. 3 and 4 corresponds fully to that according to Figs. 1 and 2, so that it will not be described further herein.
• bed frame 14 instead of bed frame 14, use can be made of a tuck-in edge fixedly connected to support 12.
• the embodiment illustrated in Figs . 5 and 6 differs from that shown in Figs. 1-4 to the extent that, in the second em ⁇ bodiment, the slats are supported by a resilient plastic strip 20 which in essence is a combination of the resilient member 8 and the plastic foam composition 9 in the arrangement of
• the plastic strip 20 is provided with recesses 21 for receiving slats 7.
• Plastic strip 20 is, in turn, received in a U-shaped section 22 essentially consisting of a plurality of parts 23 articulated together, as best shown in Fig. 6.
• the resilient members 23 are connected together by a joint 24 constructed and arranged so that the axis of rotation is in each case at the top of the U-shaped suppor . It is thus ensured that the support members can pivot relative to each other into a desired raised position. As, however, there should also be a possibility for the parts to move in a different direction relative to each other, the
• Fig. 6 additionally shows, schematically, known per se resiliently operable rods for moving parts 23 relative to each other. It will be clear that a large number of modifications are possible within the scope of the invented idea.
