Abstract

The invention relates to a supporting body (1) made of elastomeric material for the slats (6, 7) of a slatted base, the fastening part of this supporting body consisting of a substantially U-shaped support which, on one side, adjoins the underside of the two holding elements (2, 3) and, on the other side, is supported on the upper side of the base frame (11).

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf einen Lagerkörper für die Halterung der Latten eines Lattenrostes gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Hauptanspruches.The invention relates to a bearing body for holding the slats of a slatted frame according to the preamble of the main claim.

Aus dem DE-A-86 09 186 bzw. dem DE-A-81 00 892 ist jeweils ein Lagerkörper bekanntgeworden, wobei in beiden Literaturstellen der Lagerkörper zwei Latten des Lattenrostes trägt, so daß in einem gewissen Sinne diese beiden Latten zu einer Einheit zusammengefaßt sind. Bei beiden bekannten Einrichtungen sind die beiden Halteelemente für die Latten über einen Steg miteinander verbunden, so daß sich Bewegungen des einen Halteelementes zwangsläufig in einem gewissen Maße auch auf das andere Halteelement übertragen.From DE-A-86 09 186 and DE-A-81 00 892 a bearing body has become known, the bearing body carrying two slats of the slatted frame in both references, so that in a certain sense these two slats are combined into one unit are. In both known devices, the two holding elements for the slats are connected to one another via a web, so that movements of the one holding element are inevitably transferred to a certain extent to the other holding element.

Bei beiden bekannten Einrichtungen stützt sich aber dieser zwei Halteelemente aufweisende Lagerkörper über zwei Abstützungen an dem Lattenrost ab, wobei diese beiden Abstützungen oder Befestigungsteile mittig unter dem jeweiligen Halteelement sitzen, so daß im Prinzip doch wieder die beiden Halteelemente aufgrund ihrer eigenen zugeordneten Abstützung wie ein einteiliges Halteelement wirken.In both known devices, however, this bearing body, which has two holding elements, is supported by two supports on the slatted frame, wherein these two supports or fastening parts sit centrally under the respective holding element, so that, in principle, the two holding elements act like a one-piece holding element due to their own assigned support.

Ähnlich sind die Verhältnisse bei dem Lagerkörper gemäß der DE-U-89 04 001,bei der sich auch die Halteelemente für die Latten auf eigenen Abstützpunkten unterhalb der Halteelemente abstützen.The situation is similar in the case of the bearing body according to DE-U-89 04 001, in which the holding elements for the slats are also supported on their own support points below the holding elements.

Ein gattungsbildender Lagerkörper ist aus der US-A-47 52 981 bekannt. Bei dieser bekannten Einrichtung schließen die beiden Schenkel des U's zwar auch mittig an den Unterseiten der Halteelemente an, führen dann aber V-förmig zu einem Tragkörper, so daß sich also die Halteelemente bei Belastung nicht auf dem Rostrahmen abstützen können, sondern sie schwingen bogenförmig um den zentralen Befestigungspunkt. Hierdurch wird nicht die gewünschte Stabilität und Widerstandskraft geschaffen. Ähnlich ist die Konstruktion bei der Einrichtung gemäß dem DE-A-89 05 911. Auch hier werden die einzelnen Lagerkörper nicht ausreichend unterstützt.A generic bearing body is known from US-A-47 52 981. In this known device, the two legs of the U also connect centrally to the undersides of the holding elements, but then lead V-shaped to a supporting body, so that the holding elements cannot be supported on the grate frame when loaded, but swing around in an arc the central attachment point. This does not create the desired stability and resistance. The construction of the device according to DE-A-89 05 911 is similar. Here too, the individual bearing bodies are not adequately supported.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein gattungsbildendes sogenanntes Tandemlager dahingehend zu verbessern, daß die Abstützung der beiden Federlatten wirksam über den Lattenrost erfolgt und daß sich außerdem bei Belastung einer Federlatte ein Unterstützungseffekt durch die andere Federlatte ergibt.The invention has for its object to improve a generic so-called tandem bearing in such a way that the support of the two spring slats takes place effectively via the slatted frame and that there is also a support effect by the other spring slat when a spring slat is loaded.

Diese der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird durch die Lehre des Hauptanspruches gelöst.This object on which the invention is based is achieved by the teaching of the main claim.

Mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt wird ein Lagerkörper vorgeschlagen, der zwei Latten eines Lattenrostes trägt, wobei die beiden jeder Latte des Lattenrostes zugeordneten Halteelemente untereinander durch einen Steg aneinander anschließen und damit aneinander gekoppelt sind. Das eigentliche Befestigungsteil für diesen Lagerkörper besteht aus einer U-förmigen Stütze, deren Schenkel an die Unterseite jedes Halteelementes anschließen, und deren Steg sich sich auf dem Bettrahmen abstützt, so daß theoretisch die beiden Halteelemente sich am Rostrahmen abstützen. Hierbei sind aber die beiden Halteelemente miteinander verbunden, so daß sich der Zug des einen Halteelementes zwangsläufig auf das andere Halteelement auswirkt, wodurch die Widerstandsfähigkeit oder der Widerstand des Lagerkörpers erhöht wird.In other words, a bearing body is proposed which carries two slats of a slatted frame, the two holding elements assigned to each slat of the slatted frame by one another Connect the bridge to each other and are thus coupled to each other. The actual fastening part for this bearing body consists of a U-shaped support, the legs of which connect to the underside of each holding element, and the web of which is supported on the bed frame, so that theoretically the two holding elements are supported on the grate frame. Here, however, the two holding elements are connected to one another, so that the pull of one holding element inevitably affects the other holding element, as a result of which the resistance or the resistance of the bearing body is increased.

Gleichzeitig wird eine geringe Bauhöhe dieses Lagerkörpers erreicht.At the same time, a low overall height of this bearing body is achieved.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform der Erfindung ist die eigentliche Stütze nicht scharfkantig, sondern als Bogen ausgebildet. Der die beiden Halteelemente verbindende Steg schließt mittig an den aufeinanderzu gerichteten Seiten der Halteelemente an.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the actual support is not sharp-edged, but is designed as an arch. The web connecting the two holding elements connects centrally to the sides of the holding elements which are directed towards one another.

Ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der Zeichnung erläutert.An embodiment of the invention is explained below with reference to the drawing.

In der Zeichnung ist mit 11 ein Teil eines Rostrahmens bezeichnet, an dem - bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel an der Oberseite - ein Befestigungsteil eines Lagerkörpers 1 anschließt. Der Lagerkörper 1 besteht dabei aus gummielastischem Werkstoff und weist zwei Halteelemente 2 und 3 auf, die die zugeordneten Federlatten 6 und 7 tragen.In the drawing, 11 denotes a part of a grate frame to which - in the exemplary embodiment shown on the top - a fastening part of a bearing body 1 is connected. The bearing body 1 consists of rubber-elastic material and has two holding elements 2 and 3, which carry the associated spring slats 6 and 7.

Das eigentliche Befestigungsteil ist bei dem dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel als U-förmige Stütze ausgebildet, wobei die beiden Schenkel 8 und 9 an der Unterseite der Halteelemente 2 und 3 anschließen, während der Steg 10 der Stütze 4 an der Oberseite des Rostrahmens 11 befestigt ist.The actual fastening part is the one shown Embodiment designed as a U-shaped support, the two legs 8 and 9 connecting to the underside of the holding elements 2 and 3, while the web 10 of the support 4 is attached to the top of the grate frame 11.

Die beiden Halteelemente 2 und 3 sind durch einen Steg 5 miteinander verbunden, der mittig an den beiden aufeinanderzu gerichteten Wandungen der Halteelemente 2 und 3 angreift.The two holding elements 2 and 3 are connected to one another by a web 5 which engages centrally on the two walls of the holding elements 2 and 3 which are directed towards one another.

Bei einer Bewegung oder Belastung, beispielsweise der Federlatte 7, wirkt sich nunmehr die dadurch auftretende Bewegung des Halteelementes 3 über den Steg 5 auch auf das Halteelement 2 aus, das aufgrund der Ausbildung der Stütze 4 nunmehr kippen kann, so daß dadurch eine besonders günstige Anpassung an die Form des Körpers des den Lattenrost Benutzenden möglich wird, wobei sich aber die Schenkel 8 und 9 fast senkrecht von der Unterseite der Halteelemente 2 und 3 zum Rostrahmen 11 erstrecken.With a movement or load, for example the spring slat 7, the movement of the holding element 3 thereby occurring via the web 5 also has an effect on the holding element 2, which can now tilt due to the design of the support 4, so that a particularly favorable adjustment is thereby achieved to the shape of the body of the slatted frame user is possible, but the legs 8 and 9 extend almost perpendicularly from the underside of the holding elements 2 and 3 to the grate frame 11.
