Abstract

The element is designed for supporting slats or supportive plates in the frame and comprises upper and lower C-shaped leaf springs (10,12) which face towards each other and are connected at their ends. A helical spring (52) is provided between the two leaf springs.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft ein Federelement zur Abstützung von Latten oder Stütztellern in Bettrahmen, bestehend aus einer unteren und einer oberen C-förmigen Blattfeder, die spiegelbildlich zueinander angeordnet und an beiden Enden einstückig oder durch Verbindungsmittel verbunden sind, mit wenigstens einem zusätzlichen elastischen Stützglied zur Unterstützung der Rückfederbewegung des Federelements.The invention relates to a spring element for supporting slats or support plates in bed frame, consisting of a lower and an upper C-shaped Leaf spring arranged in mirror image to each other and in one piece at both ends or are connected by connecting means with at least one additional elastic support member to support the spring back movement of the spring element.

Derartige elliptische Federelemente, die aus zwei zusammengesetzten, C-förmigen Blattfedern bestehen, sind beispielsweise aus der DE 196 37 933 C1 bekannt. Sie werden aus Metall, beispielsweise nichtrostendern Federstahl, oder auch aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Ausführungen aus Kunststoff sind zumeist einstückig ausgebildet, während solche aus Metall zumeist aus zwei C-förmigen Blattfedern mit Hilfe von Verbindungsmitteln zusammengesetzt sind. Federelemente dieser Art bieten eine progressive Federkennlinie, d. h., daß die Federkraft mit zunehmender Belastung steigt. Sie sind daher in der Lage, sowohl leichte als auch schwere Personen mit im wesentlichen gleicher Federwirkung abzustützen. Es hat sich jedoch gezeigt, daß es insbesondere bei längerer und starker Belastung in gewissem Maße zu dauerhafter Verformung des Federelements kommen kann, so daß die elastische Rückstellung bei der Entlastung nur unvollständig oder zumindest nur sehr allmählich stattfindet.Such elliptical spring elements, which are composed of two, C-shaped Leaf springs are known, for example, from DE 196 37 933 C1. They are made of metal, for example stainless spring steel, or also made of plastic. Designs made of plastic are mostly in one piece formed, while those made of metal mostly from two C-shaped Leaf springs are assembled with the help of lanyards. Spring elements this type offer a progressive spring characteristic, i.e. that is, the spring force increases with increasing load. You are therefore able to both light as well as heavy persons with essentially the same spring action to support. However, it has been shown that it is particularly with longer and heavy load to a certain extent leads to permanent deformation of the spring element can come, so that the elastic provision in the discharge only takes place incompletely or at least only very gradually.

Bei einstückig hergestellten Federelementen aus Kunststoff ist es daher bekannt, in der Längsachse der durch das Federelement gebildeten Ellipse ein gummielastisches Zugglied anzuordnen, das die Rückstellbewegung unterstützt. Ein derartiges Zugglied wird beim Einfedern gedehnt, da die Anordnung aus den beiden C-förmigen Blattfedern beim Einfedern gestreckt wird. Bei einem derartigen Federelement ist es jedoch notwendig, daß das elastische Zugglied bereits bei der Herstellung eingeplant und angebracht wird. Ein Nachrüsten beliebiger Federelemente, das nach den individuellen Vorgaben des späteren Benutzers des Bettrahmens wünschenswert sein kann, ist nicht möglich.In the case of one-piece spring elements made of plastic, it is therefore known in the longitudinal axis of the ellipse formed by the spring element to arrange rubber-elastic tension member that supports the return movement. Such a tension member is stretched during compression, since the arrangement from the two C-shaped leaf springs is stretched when compressed. With such a Spring element, however, it is necessary that the elastic tension member already is planned and attached during manufacture. Any retrofitting Spring elements, according to the individual specifications of the future user of the bed frame may be desirable is not possible.

Wegen der großen Bandbreite möglicher Belastungen, die die Federelemente im Gebrauch in Abhängigkeit vom Körpergewicht des Benutzers aufnehmen, ist es jedoch ein Nachteil, nur Federelemente ein und derselben Federcharakteristik zur Verfügung zu haben. Because of the wide range of possible loads that the spring elements in It is use depending on the body weight of the user but a disadvantage, only spring elements of one and the same spring characteristic to have available.

Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Federelement der obigen Art dahingehend weiterzuentwickeln, daß flexible Gestaltungsmöglichkeiten für die Auswahl der Feder- und Rückstellkraft des Federelements zur Verfügung stehen.The invention is therefore based on the object of a spring element of the above Art to develop in such a way that flexible design options for the selection of the spring and restoring force of the spring element available stand.

Diese Aufgabe wird beim Federelement der obigen Art dadurch gelöst, daß das Stützglied durch eine innerhalb des Federelements zwischen den Scheitelpunkten der C-förmigen Blattfedern angeordnete Druckfeder gebildet wird.This object is achieved in the spring element of the above type in that the Support member by one within the spring element between the vertices the C-shaped leaf springs arranged compression spring is formed.

Diese Druckfeder kann eingesetzt werden, soweit es sich im Einzelfall als notwendig erweist, andererseits aber auch fortgelassen wird, etwa wenn nur geringere Belastungen zu erwarten sind. Als Druckfeder kommen vor allem Drahtfedern in Betracht, etwa eine Schraubenfeder oder eine im Mittelbereich ausgewölbte Feder in der Form eines Doppelkonus oder einer Tonne. Die letzteren Federtypen haben den Vorteil, daß sie - bei geeigneter Auswahl des Verhältnisses von Drahtdurchmesser zu Windungsdurchmesser - eine progressive Federkernlinie aufweisen.This compression spring can be used as far as it is necessary in individual cases proves, but is also omitted, for example, if only less Burdens are expected. Wire springs are the main compression springs considered, such as a coil spring or a bulged in the middle Spring in the shape of a double cone or a barrel. The latter spring types have the advantage that - with a suitable selection of the ratio from wire diameter to winding diameter - a progressive spring core line exhibit.

Auf den Innenseiten der beiden C-förmigen Blattfedern können miteinander fluchtende Zapfen angebracht sein, auf die die Enden der Druckfeder aufgeschoben sein können. Das ermöglicht eine werkzeuglose Montage und ein leichtes Nachrüsten oder Entfernen je nach den Bedingungen des Einzelfalles. Die beiden Zapfen können zugleich die Funktion eines Anschlages haben, der den Federweg des Federelements begrenzt und damit sicherstellt, daß ein übermäßiges Einfedern, das zu einer dauerhaften Verformung des Federelements führen kann, verhindert wird.On the inside of the two C-shaped leaf springs can be with each other aligned pins are attached, on which the ends of the compression spring are pushed could be. This enables tool-free assembly and is easy Retrofitting or removal depending on the conditions of the individual case. The two Pins can also have the function of a stop, the travel limited of the spring element and thus ensures that an excessive Compression, which lead to permanent deformation of the spring element can be prevented.

Die Zapfen ihrerseits können auf Stifte aufgeschoben sein, die von Verbindungsplatten auf der Außenseite der beiden Blattfedern ausgehen und die Blattfedern in einem Bohrloch durchdringen.The pins in turn can be pushed onto pins by connecting plates go out on the outside of the two leaf springs and the leaf springs penetrate in a borehole.

Diese Verbindungsplatten können zur Bildung des Übergangs zwischen dem Federelement und entsprechenden Elementen eines Bettes dienen.These connecting plates can be used to form the transition between the spring element and corresponding elements of a bed.

Im folgenden werden bevorzugte Ausführungsbeisplele der Erfindung anhand der beigefügten Zeichnung näher erläutert.

  • Die einzige Figur ist eine perspektivische Explosionsdarstellung einer Ausführungsform eines erfindungsgemäßen Federelements.
    • Preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail below with reference to the attached drawing.
  • The only figure is an exploded perspective view of an embodiment of a spring element according to the invention.

    • Ein erfindungsgemäßes Federelement umfaßt zunächst eine obere, nach oben gewölbte, im wesentlichen C-förmige Blattfeder 10 und eine entsprechende, nach unten gewölbte Blattfeder 12. Die beiden Blattfedern 10,12 weisen an beiden Enden hülsenförmig eingedrehte Laschen 14,16 bzw. 18,20 auf. Die beim Herstellen der Verbindung der beiden Blattfedern zusammentreffenden Laschen sind jeweils versetzt an dem jeweiligen Rand der Blattfedern 10,12 angeordnet, so daß sie gemeinsam eine Art von durchgehender Hülse bilden, in die ein nicht dargestellter Verbindungsstift eingeschoben werden kann, wie es etwa bei Scharnieren der Fall ist. Die Laschen 14,16 bzw. 18,20 können auch so eingedreht sein, daß die formschlüssig ineinandergreifen, wie es in der eingangs genannten DE 196 37 933 C1 gezeigt ist.A spring element according to the invention initially comprises an upper, upward curved, essentially C-shaped leaf spring 10 and a corresponding, leaf spring 12 curved downwards. The two leaf springs 10, 12 point to both Ends of sleeves 14, 16 or 18, 20 screwed in in the form of sleeves. The at Establish the connection of the two tabs that meet are arranged offset on the respective edge of the leaf springs 10, 12, so that together they form a kind of continuous sleeve, in which one does not shown connecting pin can be inserted, as it is about Hinges is the case. The tabs 14, 16 and 18, 20 can also be screwed in in this way be that they interlock positively, as mentioned in the introduction DE 196 37 933 C1 is shown.

    Durch Zusammenfügen der beiden Blattfedern 10,12 in der beschriebenen Weise entsteht ein im weitesten Sinne elliptisches Federelement. Dieses Federelement ist auf der oberen und unteren Seite mit Verbindungsplatten 22,24 versehen, die insbesondere aus Kunststoff bestehen. Die Verbindungsplatten 22,24 dienen zur Anbringung des Federelements an einem gefederten und einem ungefederten Teil eines Bettes. In der Zeichnung ist im unteren Bereich eine im wesentlichen starre Leiste 26 eines insgesamt nicht gezeigten Bettrahmens angedeutet, während im oberen Bereich der Zeichnung ein rechteckiger Stützteller 28 dargestellt ist, der zusammen mit anderen Stütztellern eine gefederte Fläche zur Aufnahme einer Matratze bildet.By joining the two leaf springs 10, 12 in the manner described in the broadest sense an elliptical spring element is created. This spring element is provided with connection plates 22, 24 on the upper and lower side, which consist in particular of plastic. The connecting plates 22,24 are used to attach the spring element to a sprung and an unsprung Part of a bed. In the drawing there is essentially one in the lower area rigid bar 26 of a bed frame, not shown overall, indicated while in the upper part of the drawing a rectangular support plate 28 is shown, which together with other support plates a sprung surface to accommodate a mattress.

    Die Verbindungsplatten 22,24 weisen jeweils einen angeformten Stift 30,32 auf, der in Richtung der jeweils angrenzenden Blattfedern 10,12 gerichtet ist und diese in jeweils einem Bohrloch 34,36 im Scheitelpunkt der Blattfedern durchdringt. Wie insbesondere am Beispiel der unteren Verbindungsplatte 24 gezeigt ist, sind an zwei gegenüberliegenden Bändern, die in der montierten Stellung den beiden längsseitigen Rändern der Blattfeder entsprechen, aus der Fläche der Verbindungsplatte 24 aufragende Randleisten 38,40 vorgesehen, die die Ränder der Blattfedern 10,12 von beiden Seiten her erfassen und somit als Verdrehsicherung dienen. The connecting plates 22, 24 each have a molded-on pin 30, 32, which is directed in the direction of the respective adjacent leaf springs 10, 12 and each penetrates in a hole 34,36 at the apex of the leaf springs. As shown in particular using the example of the lower connecting plate 24 is on two opposite hinges that are in the assembled position correspond to the two longitudinal edges of the leaf spring, from the surface the connecting plate 24 upstanding edge strips 38.40 provided the Grip the edges of the leaf springs 10, 12 from both sides and thus as an anti-rotation device serve.

    Nur für die obere Verbindungsplatte 22 ist in der Zeichnung erkennbar, daß auf der äußeren, dem Stift 30 gegenüberliegenden Fläche ein aufragender Zapfen 42 mit profilierter Oberfläche angeformt ist. Dieser Zapfen 42 wird bei der Montage des nicht gezeigten Bettes eine zentrale Bohrung 44 des Stütztellers 28 von dessen Unterseite her eingeschoben.Only for the upper connecting plate 22 can be seen in the drawing that on an upstanding pin 42 on the outer surface opposite the pin 30 is molded with a profiled surface. This pin 42 is used during assembly of the bed, not shown, a central bore 44 of the support plate 28 thereof Bottom inserted.

    Ein entsprechender, nicht gezeigter Zapfen befindet sich an der Unterseite der unteren Verbindungsplatte 24. Dieser Zapfen dient zum Einschieben in eine Bohrung 46 in der Leiste 26 des Bettrahmens.A corresponding pin, not shown, is located on the underside of the lower connecting plate 24. This pin is used to insert into a Bore 46 in the bar 26 of the bed frame.

    Auf den Innenseiten der beiden Blattfedern 10,12 sind weitere Zapfen 48,50 gezeigt, die jeweils eine zentrale, nicht bezeichnete Bohrung aufweisen und bei der Montage von der Innenseite der Blattfedern her auf die aus den Bohrlöchern 34,36 austretenden Stifte 30,32 der beiden Verbindungsplatten 22,24 aufgeschoben werden.Further pins 48, 50 are shown on the inside of the two leaf springs 10, 12, each have a central, unspecified bore and in the Installation from the inside of the leaf springs to that from the drill holes 34,36 emerging pins 30,32 of the two connecting plates 22,24 pushed become.

    Diese beiden Zapfen dienen zum einen zur Aufnahme einer Doppelkegelfeder 52, deren Windungsdurchmesser an den beiden Enden dem Außendurchmesser der beiden Zapfen 48,50 entspricht, so daß die Doppelkegelfeder nach unten und oben von den Zapfen 48,50 aufgenommen werden kann. Die beiden Zapfen 48,50, die aus einem Kunststoffmaterial bestehen können, dienen im übrigen als Anschlag zur Begrenzung des Einfederns der Blattfedern 10,12, da ein übermäßiges Einfedern zu einer dauerhaften Verformung des Materials der Blattfedern 10,12 führen kann, die insbesondere dann bei starker Belastung eintreten kann, wenn die beiden Blattfedern aus Kunststoff bestehen.These two pins serve on the one hand to accommodate a double conical spring 52, whose winding diameter at the two ends the outer diameter of the corresponds to both pins 48.50, so that the double cone spring down and can be taken up by the pins 48.50. The two cones 48.50, which can consist of a plastic material, serve otherwise as a stop to limit the compression of the leaf springs 10, 12 because of excessive Compression to permanently deform the material of the leaf springs 10,12 can lead, which occur especially under heavy load can if the two leaf springs are made of plastic.

    Alle in der Zeichnung gezeigten Teile können ohne Zurhilfenahme von Werkzeugen durch Zusammenstecken montiert werden. Durch die Profilierung der Zapfen 42,48,50 und eine entsprechende leichte Überdimensionierung in Bezug auf die Bohrungen 44,46 bzw. eine leichte Unterdimensionierung der Bohrung der Zapfen 48,50 kann erreicht werden, daß die gesamte Konstruktion durch Zusammenstecken so fest verbunden wird, daß weitere Verbindungsmittel nicht notwendig sind. Im Einzelfall kann jedoch auch ein Kleber zum Festlegen der Zapfenverbindungen verwendet werden.All parts shown in the drawing can be used without tools be assembled by plugging together. By profiling the cones 42,48,50 and a corresponding slight oversizing with regard to the holes 44,46 or a slight undersizing of the hole of the Pin 48.50 can be achieved that the entire construction by plugging together is so firmly connected that other connecting means are not are necessary. In individual cases, however, an adhesive can also be used to fix the Pin connections are used.
