Abstract

The base has flat support elements each with a bearing plate for the mattress and a spring for the bearing plate. Each leaf-spring (9) is supported on two abutments (5) and extends down through between the abutments so that at least some areas of the springs are located between these abutments. The leaf springs have fixing elements (12) by means of which they are fixed on two adjoining abutments. The springs can be formed as strips of elastic plastics material.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Unterbett zur Auflage von Matratzen, das eine Vielzahl flächig angeordneter Stützelemente aufweist, die jeweils eine Auflageplatte für die Matratze und mindestens ein die Auflageplatte tragendes Federelement enthalten und die sich an leisten-, stab- oder rohrartigen Widerlagern abstützen.The invention relates to a lower bed for supporting mattresses, which has a multiplicity of support elements arranged flat, each a support plate for the mattress and at least contain a spring element carrying the platen and the are supported on strips, rods or tubular abutments.

Ein derartiges Unterbett ist aus der EP 0 653 174 A2 bekannt. Hier bestehen die Stützelemente aus Formteilen aus elastischem Kunststoff und sind auf ihrer Unterseite mit Befestigungselementen versehen, mittels deren sie auf flachen Rostlatten eines Lattenrostes entnehmbar befestigt werden können. Auf ihrer Oberseite tragen diese Stützelemente die Auflageplatten. Um federnd nachgehen zu können, müssen diene Stützelemente eine gewisse Bauhöhe aufweisen, die sich aus dem Federweg und der Resthöhe des eingefederten Federelementes zusammensetzt. Diese Bauhöhe erstreckt sich infolge des Befestigens der Stützelemente auf den Rostlatten von den Rostlatten nach oben und führt zu einer erheblichen Gesamthöhe des Unterbettes zusammen mit der aufliegenden Matratze.Such a lower bed is known from EP 0 653 174 A2. Here the support elements consist of molded parts made of elastic Plastic and are on the bottom with fasteners provided, by means of which they on flat grate slats Slatted frame can be removably attached. On your On the top, these support elements support the support plates. Around To be able to follow resiliently, the support elements must be one have a certain height, which results from the travel and the Remaining height of the sprung spring element is composed. This Overall height extends due to the attachment of the support elements on the slats from the slats upwards and leads to a significant total height of the lower bed together with the mattress on top.

Da derartige Unterbetten fast immer in vorhandene Bettgestelle eingelegt werden, deren Auflagen für Matratzenträger mit geringerer Bauhöhe ausgelegt sind, kann ein solches Unterbett störend über das Bettgestell hinausragen und auch die Matratze liegt dann höher als vorgesehen.Since such underbeds almost always in existing bed frames be inserted, the requirements for mattress carriers with less Such a lower bed can be designed protrude disturbingly beyond the bed frame and also the mattress is then higher than intended.

Der Erfindung war demgemäß die Aufgabe gestellt, den Stützelementen eine Form zu gehen, die die Bauhöhe dem Unterbettes zu verringern gestattet. Die Aufgabe wird durch die im Kennzeichen des Hauptanspruches genannten Merkmale gelöst.The invention was therefore the object of the support elements a shape to go that the overall height of the lower bed too allowed to decrease. The task is identified by the in the indicator the main claim mentioned features solved.

Dadurch, daß die Federelemente der Stützelemente mindestens teilweise unter den in ihrer Funktion den Rostlatten entsprechenden Widerlagern angeordnet sind, wird die die Widerlager überragende Bauhöhe der Stützelemente wesentlich vermindert. Sie kann bis nahezu auf den Federweg reduziert werden, so daß sich die Resthöhe der eingefederten Federelemente ganz unterhalb der Widerlager befindet.In that the spring elements of the support elements at least partly under the rust slats in their function corresponding abutments are arranged, the abutment outstanding height of the support elements significantly reduced. It can be reduced to almost the travel, so that the remaining height of the sprung spring elements completely located below the abutment.

Dieses Prinzip läßt sich mit Federelementen unterschiedlicher Art ausführen. Bevorzugt sind Federelemente in Form von verformbaren Strukturen aus elastischem Kunststoff oder aus Federstahl oder Schaumstoffkörper entsprechender Stauchhärte. Aber auch bspw. mit gas- oder wassergefüllten Bälgen läßt sich die Erfindung verwirklichen.
Die Federelemente ragen durch die in aller Regel in einer Ebene angeordneten Widerlager zwischen diesen hindurch nach unten. Ein Federelement kann dabei zwischen den beiden Widerlagern hindurchtreten, an denen es sich von innen oder von außen abstützt. Insbesondere bandfederartige Strukturen können aber auch so gestaltet sein, daß sie teils zwischen den, teils außerhalb der Widerlagern hindurchtreten, an denen sie sich abstützen oder daß sie nuraußerhalb der Widerlager angeordnet sind, an denen sie sich abstützen.
This principle can be carried out with different types of spring elements. Spring elements in the form of deformable structures made of elastic plastic or of spring steel or foam body of appropriate compression hardness are preferred. However, the invention can also be realized, for example, with gas-filled or water-filled bellows.
The spring elements project through the abutments, which are generally arranged in one plane, down between them. A spring element can pass between the two abutments, on which it is supported from the inside or from the outside. In particular, band spring-like structures can also be designed so that they pass partly between, partly outside of the abutments on which they are supported or that they are only arranged outside of the abutments on which they are supported.

Das Befestigen der Stützelemente erfolgt vorteilhaft durch Aufklippsen oder Aufklemmen auf die Widerlager. Insbesonder bei aus elastischem Material bestehenden verformbaren Strukturen können klippsbare oder klemmbare Augen leicht an diese angeformt werden. Die Stützelemente sind dann einerseits sicher gehaltert, können aber andererseits auch leicht ausgewechselt werden.The support elements are advantageously fastened by Clip on or clip on the abutment. Especially at deformable structures made of elastic material clip-on or clip-on eyes can be easily molded onto them will. The support elements are then securely held on the one hand, but can also be easily replaced.

In den Unteransprüchen sind weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung enthalten.Further advantageous refinements are in the subclaims of the invention included.

Wie aus Fig. 1 hervorgeht, weist das Unterbett 1 einen im Grundriss rechteckigen Rahmen 2 aus Längs- und Querholmen 3 und 4 auf. Es versteht sich, daß dieser Rahmen 2 des Unterbettes 1 mehrere, gegeneinander verschwenkbare Teilrahmen aufweisen kann.As can be seen from FIG. 1, the lower bed 1 has a frame 2 which is rectangular in plan from longitudinal and transverse bars 3 and 4. It is understood that this frame 2 of the Lower bed 1 can have a plurality of partial frames which can be pivoted relative to one another.

Zwischen den Längsholmen 3 des Rahmens 2 bzw. Teilrahmens erstrecken sich Widerlager in Form von vorteilhafterweise biegesteifen Stäben 5 oder Rohren oder Leisten. In diese Stäbe sind auf später näher beschriebene Weise Stützelemente eingehängt oder aufgesteckt, von denen in der Draufsicht der Fig. 1 nur die zur Auflage der Matratze 6 dienenden Auflageplatten 7 sichtbar sind.Abutments extend in between the longitudinal bars 3 of the frame 2 or subframe Form of advantageously rigid rods 5 or tubes or strips. In these bars support elements are attached or attached in a manner described in more detail later which in the plan view of FIG. 1 only the support plates used to support the mattress 6 7 are visible.

Wie aus Fig. 2 erkennbar, besteht ein Stützelement 8 neben einer Auflageplatte 7 aus einem Federelement 9, das in der Ausführungsform der Fig. 2 aus einer funktionsgerecht gebogenen Blattfeder 10 aus Stahl oder Kunststoff besteht. Diese Blattfeder 10 ist bspw. mit Schrauben 11 an der Auflageplatte 7 befestigt und läuft in eine Befestigungsvorrichtung in Form zweier Augen 12 aus, mittels deren sie auf zwei benachbarte Stäbe 5 aufklippsbar oder aufklemmbar ist. Dabei erstreckt sich ein Teil der Blattfeder 10 und damit des Federelementes 9 zwischen den beiden Stäben 5, auf die sich das Federelement auflagert, nach unten.As can be seen from Fig. 2, a support element 8 consists of a support plate 7 from a Spring element 9, which in the embodiment of FIG. 2 from a functionally bent Leaf spring 10 is made of steel or plastic. This leaf spring 10 is, for example, with screws 11 attached to the support plate 7 and runs in a fastening device in the form of two Eyes 12 from which they can be clipped or clamped onto two adjacent rods 5 is. Part of the leaf spring 10 and thus the spring element 9 extends between the two rods 5, on which the spring element rests, downwards.

Es versteht sich, daß die Blattfeder 10 auch in anderer Form gekrümmt sein oder aus mehreren Federblättern bestehen kann. It is understood that the leaf spring 10 can also be curved in a different shape or from several Spring leaves can exist.

Das Federelement könnte aber auch ein bspw. wendelförmig gebogener Federdraht sein. Wie dargestellt, können auch weitere Augen 12' an der Feder 10 angeformt sein, mittels deren die Federelemente 9 in unterschiedlichen Höhen in die Stäbe 5 eingeklippst werden können. Damit kann die Höhenlage der Auflageplatten 7 unterschiedlich gewählt werden.The spring element could also be, for example, a helically bent spring wire be. As shown, further eyes 12 ′ can also be on the spring 10 be formed by means of which the spring elements 9 at different heights can be clipped into the rods 5. This allows the height of the support plates 7 can be selected differently.

Beim Belasten der Auflageplatte 7 federt die Blattfeder 10 nach unten durch und läßt die Auflageplatte in die strichpunktierte Stellung absinken.
In der Ausführungsform der Fig. 3 besteht das Federelement 9' aus zwei wellenförmig gekrümmten Bändern 13, 13' aus elastischem Kunststoff, die ebenfalls mittels Augen 12 an den Stäben 5 befestigbar sind. Die Bänder 13, 13' können durch Stege 14 miteinander verbunden sein, um sich beim Durchfedern gegenseitig zu stützen. Versteifende Stege 14' zwischen den Ausbauchungen der Bänder 13, 13' können mit trennbaren Schwächungen versehen sein, mit deren Durchtrennen die Nachgiebigkeit der Federelemente 9' erhöht werden kann. Das Federelement 9' der Fig. 3 kann vorteilhaft im Spitzgußverfahren hergestellt werden.
When loading the support plate 7, the leaf spring 10 springs downward and allows the support plate to drop into the dot-dash position.
In the embodiment of FIG. 3, the spring element 9 'consists of two wavy curved bands 13, 13' made of elastic plastic, which can also be fastened to the rods 5 by means of eyes 12. The straps 13, 13 'can be connected to one another by webs 14 in order to support one another as they bounce. Stiffening webs 14 'between the bulges of the straps 13, 13' can be provided with separable weakenings, by cutting through which the flexibility of the spring elements 9 'can be increased. The spring element 9 'of FIG. 3 can advantageously be produced using the injection molding process.

Die Auflageplatten 7 könnten zwar schmäler ausgebildet werden als der lichte Abstand zwischen sei benachbarten Stäben 5, so daß eine Auflageplatte 7 beim vollen Durchfedern sogar zwischen die Stäbe 5 treten könnte. Dabei würde sich aber die Matratze 6 auf die unnachgiebigen Stäbe 5 auflagern, was hart durchschlagen könnte. Um dies zu vermeiden, sind - in der Ausführungsform der Fig. 3 - an das Federelement 9' unter der Auflageplatte 7 elastische Puffer 15 angeformt, die sich beim vollen Durchfedern des Federelementes auf die Stäbe 5 auflegen und so sowohl Geräusche als auch hartes Aufschlagen bei Aufsitzen verhindern.The support plates 7 could indeed be made narrower than the light one Distance between adjacent bars 5, so that a support plate 7th with full deflection could even step between the rods 5. Doing so but the mattress 6 rest on the unyielding rods 5, which is hard could penetrate. To avoid this, are - in the embodiment 3 - on the spring element 9 'under the support plate 7 elastic buffer 15th molded onto the rods 5 when the spring element is fully deflected put on and so both noise and hard hitting when riding prevent.

In der Ausführungsform der Fig. 4 und 5 besteht das Federelement 9'' aus einem Klotz 16 elastischen Schaumstoffes, der in einer U-förmigen Aufnahme 17 ruht und auf seiner Oberseite die Aufnahmeplatte 7 trägt. Bei dieser Ausführungsform sind die Stäbe 5' der die Aufnahme 17 tragenden Widerlager beispielshalber hochkant länglichrund darstellt. In the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5, the spring element 9 ″ consists of a Block 16 of elastic foam, which rests in a U-shaped receptacle 17 and carries the receiving plate 7 on its upper side. In this embodiment are the rods 5 'of the abutment bearing 17 for example upright elongated round.

Beim Belasten der Auflageplatte 7 gemäß Fig. 5 wird der Schaumstoffklotz 16 verformt. Der Spalt 18 zwischen dem unbelasteten Schaumstoffklotz 16 und der Aufnahme 17 kann so bemessen sein, daß der Schaumstoffklotz bei vollem Durchfedern des Federelementes 9'' um den Federweg A die Aufnahme voll ausfüllt und sein Widerstand gegen Verformen stark zunimmt, so daß auch hier ein hartes Aufsitzen bei vollem Durchfedern vermieden wird. Durch Schultern 19 des Schaumstoffklotzes 16 unter der Auflageplatte 7, die sich bei vollem Durchfedern auf die Stäbe 5 auflegen, kann diese Wirkung verstärkt werden.When loading the support plate 7 according to FIG. 5, the foam block 16 deformed. The gap 18 between the unloaded Foam block 16 and the receptacle 17 can be dimensioned that the foam block with full suspension of the spring element 9 '' around the travel A fully fills the mount and be Resistance to deformation increases sharply, so that here too hard riding with full bounce is avoided. By Shoulders 19 of the foam block 16 under the support plate 7, which can rest on the rods 5 with full deflection this effect will be reinforced.

Die Federcharakteristik der Federelemente kann bei den Ausführungsformen der Fig. 2 und 3 insbesondere durch die Breite und die Dicke der Blattfeder 10 bzw. der Bänder 13, 13' unterschiedlich gewählt werden - in der Ausführungsform der Fig. 4 und 5 durch die Querschnittsfläche oder/und durch die Stauchhärte des Materials des Schaummstoffklotzes 16. Durch Einsetzen von Stützelementen 8 unterschiedlicher Härte und/oder Höhe kann die Härte des Unterbettes 1 und/oder die Höhenlage seiner Auflageplatten 7 insgesamt oder in bestimmten Bereichen, bspw. im Schulterbereich oder im Lendenbereich eines Ruhenden und auch in Querrichtung nach den Bedürfnissen oder Wünschen eingestellt werden. Durch Auswechseln der Stützelemente 8 kann diese Einstellung auch leicht geändert werden.The spring characteristic of the spring elements can be in the embodiments 2 and 3 in particular by the width and the thickness of the leaf spring 10 or the bands 13, 13 'different can be selected - in the embodiment of FIGS. 4 and 5 by the cross-sectional area and / or by the compression hardness of the Material of the foam block 16. By inserting support elements 8 different hardness and / or height, the hardness the lower bed 1 and / or the height of its support plates 7 as a whole or in certain areas, for example in the shoulder area or in the lumbar region of a resting person and also in the transverse direction be adjusted according to needs or desires. By This setting can also be replaced by the support elements 8 can be easily changed.

Da sich an jedem Stab 5 bzw. 5' eines Widerlagers Stützelemente 8 beider, dem Stab benachbarter Reihen von Stützelementen auflagern, müssen die Augen 12 der Federelemente 9, 9', 9'' so ausgebildet sein, daß dies ermöglicht ist. In einer ersten Ausführungsform der Fig. 6, bei der die Stützelemente 8 in Längs- und Querrichtung fluchtend in Reihen angeordnet sind, wird dies dadurch erreicht, daß das eine Auge zwei beabstandete Teilbereiche 20, 20' und das andere Auge nur einen Bereich 21 aufweist, der zwischen die Teilbereiche des anderen Auges (eines benachbarten Stützelementes) greifen kann. Die äußere Breite der beabstandeten Bereiche des einen Auges 12 kann vorteilhaft so gewählt werden, daß bei Aneinanderliegen der Augen benachbarter Stützelemente 8 der vorgesehene Abstand zwischen den Auflageplatten 7 eingehalten wird.Since there are support elements 8 on each rod 5 or 5 'of an abutment support both rows of support elements adjacent to the bar, the eyes 12 of the spring elements 9, 9 ', 9' 'must be designed in this way be that this is possible. In a first embodiment 6, in which the support elements 8 in longitudinal and Transversely aligned in rows, this will in that the one eye has two spaced-apart sections 20, 20 'and the other eye has only one area 21, between the subareas of the other eye (an adjacent one Support element) can grip. The outer width of the spaced areas of one eye 12 can advantageously be so be chosen so that the eyes are adjacent to each other Support elements 8 the intended distance between the support plates 7 is observed.

Die Stützelemente der Fig. 6 entsprechen den in Fig.4/5 dargestellten und beschriebenen. An einem Stützelement 8 ist die Auflageplatte entfernt, um die Draufsicht auf das Federelement 9'' zu gestatten. The support elements of Fig. 6 correspond to those shown in Fig.4 / 5 and described. On a support element 8 is the Support plate removed to the top view of the spring element 9 '' to allow.

In der Ausführungsform der Fig. 7 sind die Stützelemente 8 in einer Richtung gegeneinander versetzt angeordnet. Hier sind die Augen 12' mittig angebracht und so breit, daß die Augen der Stützelemente 8 in benachbarten Reihen aneinander anliegen und durch ein seitliches Verschieben der Stützelemente auf den Stäben 5 verhindern.In the embodiment of FIG. 7, the support elements 8 are opposite to each other in one direction staggered. Here the eyes 12 'are attached in the middle and so wide that the eyes the support elements 8 abut each other in adjacent rows and by a lateral Prevent moving the support elements on the rods 5.

Neben quadratischen Auflageplatten 7 der Fig. 6 und 7 ist auch eine Vielzahl anderer Umrißformen der Auflageplatten möglich und in manchen Fällen vorteilhaft.
