Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung richtet sich auf einen Bettrahmen mit einer Mehrzahl von gefederten, auf Querträgern angeordneten, die Fläche des Bettrahmens zur Bildung einer Matratzenauflage ausfüllenden Federelementen.The invention is directed to a bed frame with a A plurality of sprung, arranged on cross members, the Area of the bed frame to form a mattress topper filling spring elements.
Ein derartiger Bettrahmen ist beispielsweise in dem DE 93 21 014 U1 bzw. der DE 43 37 925 A1 der Anmelderin beschrieben. Dabei sind auf Einzelquerträgern nebeneinander aufgefädelt Federelemente mit leicht gewölbten Auflageflächen vorgesehen, wobei diese Einzelelemente beispielsweise gummielastisch ausgebildet sein können.Such a bed frame is for example in the DE 93 21 014 U1 and DE 43 37 925 A1 of the applicant are described. Here are on side cross beams next to each other threaded on spring elements with slightly curved contact surfaces provided, these individual elements for example can be formed rubber-elastic.
Eine Fläche aus federbelasteten, pflastersteinähnlichen nebeneinander angeordneten Elementen zeigt auch das DE 93 12 069 U1 oder DE 93 17 114 U1, an Querstangen angeordnete Federelemente mit tellerartigen Köpfen zeigt DE 196 37 933 C1, die EP 0 401 712 A1, EP 0 653 174 A2 oder die CH 680 337 A5.A surface of spring-loaded, cobblestone-like side by side arranged elements also shows that DE 93 12 069 U1 or DE 93 17 114 U1, arranged on crossbars Spring elements with plate-like heads shows DE 196 37 933 C1, EP 0 401 712 A1, EP 0 653 174 A2 or CH 680 337 A5.
Ein Problem der bekannten Lösungen besteht darin, daß durch die Einstangenfixierung etwa bei Bruch oder sonstigen Störungen der Federelemente selbst die Flächenwirkung Schaden nimmt, auch ist die Fixierung in der Regel sehr viel kräftiger ausgeführt worden, um eine ordnungsgemäße Positionierung am Ort des Gebrauches zu gewährleisten. A problem with the known solutions is that Single-rod fixation, for example in the event of breakage or other faults the spring elements themselves damage the surface effect takes, the fixation is usually much stronger been carried out to ensure proper positioning to ensure at the place of use.
Aufgabe der Erfindung ist die Schaffung einer Lösung, mit der bei hohem Federungskomfort eine einfache Montage und eine einfache Fixierung der Elemente ebenso erreichbar ist wie die Vermeidung des Verlustes an Federungskomfort, falls ein Einzelelement zerstört werden sollte.The object of the invention is to provide a solution with which, with high suspension comfort, is easy to install and simple fixation of the elements is also achievable like avoiding the loss of suspension comfort if a single element should be destroyed.
Bei einem Bettrahmen der eingangs bezeichneten Art wird diese Aufgabe gemäß der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß jedes Federelement als im wesentlichen kreisförmig oder oval gebogenes, umlaufendes endloses Band aus einem ein Federverhalten aufweisenden Material ausgebildet ist mit zwei Befestigungen an der Unterseite für zwei parallel laufende Querträger.With a bed frame of the type mentioned at the beginning solved this problem according to the invention in that each Spring element as an essentially circular or oval curved continuous endless belt from a spring behavior material is formed with two fasteners at the bottom for two parallel ones Crossmember.
Mit diesen Schlaufen oder Ringe bildenden Federelementen, die auf zwei parallelen Stangen auffädelbar sind, wird nicht nur eine äußerst einfache Montage ermöglicht, auch wird erreicht, daß selbst dann, wenn ein einzelnes Federelement z.B. bricht, durch die Doppelfixierung an zwei Parallelleisten die Auflagefläche nur wenig beeinträchtigt wird.With these loops or rings forming spring elements, which can be threaded on two parallel rods not only enables extremely easy assembly, too is achieved even if a single spring element e.g. breaks through the double fixation on two Parallel bars affect the contact surface only slightly becomes.
Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen. Dabei kann es insbesondere zweckmäßig sein, die Querträger als Stangen auszubilden und die Befestigungselemente als die Stangen wenigstens bereichsweise umgreifende Fixierkörper.Embodiments of the invention result from the subclaims. It can be particularly useful here Train cross members as rods and the fasteners than the bars encompassing at least some areas Fixing body.
Eine Möglichkeit besteht dabei darin, die Stangen querschnittlich rund auszubilden und die Fixierkörper als Hohlzylinder, die über die Stangen geschoben werden. Natürlich können auch die Stangen querschnittlich als Polygone ausgebildet sein, etwa achteckig, und die Fixierelemente als entsprechend ausgebildete, diese Polygone außen umschließende eckige Zylinder, wobei die kreisrunde Form den Vorteil hat, daß eine Relativbewegung zwischen Fixierkörper einerseits und Querträger andererseits wenigstens im geringen Maße möglich ist. Wird eine solche Relativbewegung nicht gewünscht, bieten sich querschnittlich mehreckige Gestaltungen an.One possibility is to cross-section the bars round and the fixing body as a hollow cylinder, that are pushed over the bars. Naturally the poles can also be designed as cross-sections as polygons be approximately octagonal, and the fixing elements as appropriately trained, these polygons enclosing the outside angular cylinders, the circular shape having the advantage has that a relative movement between the fixing body on the one hand and crossbeam on the other hand at least to a small extent Dimensions is possible. Such a relative movement not desired, there are polygonal cross-sectional designs on.
Eine Ausführungsvariante kann darin bestehen, die Befestigungselemente als von oben auf die Querträger aufdrückbare Clipsstangen auszubilden, wie dies die Erfindung in weiterer Ausgestaltung ebenfalls vorsieht.An embodiment variant can consist of the fastening elements than can be pressed onto the crossbeam from above Train clip bars as the invention in further Design also provides.
Vorteilhaft kann es sein, wenn der der Matratze zugewandte Bereich des Federelementes mit wenigstens einer Ausnehmung im Auflagebereich ausgerüstet ist. Dabei kann es sich um eine vergleichsweise große, die Hauptoberfläche des Federelementes in Aufsicht gesehen im wesentlichen ausfüllende Öffnung handeln, so daß das Federelement sich nur mit zwei Randstegen an der Matratzenunterlage anlegt. Natürlich können auch zwei, drei oder vier vergleichsweise große Löcher in diesem Bereich angebracht sein. Die Ausnehmungen können als in Aufsicht Kreise, Doppelkreise, Ovale, mit und ohne Längsschlitze ausgebildet sein, aber auch als S-förmige Ausnehmungen u. dgl. mehr, wobei je nach Ausnehmung die Federelemente ein anderes Federverhalten aufweisen können. Sie können weicher oder härter sein, sie können seitlich, d.h. quer, zu den Querträgern, leicht verformbar sein oder gegenüber dieser Bewegung starr u. dgl. mehr.It can be advantageous if the one facing the mattress Area of the spring element with at least one recess is equipped in the support area. It can be a comparatively large, the main surface of the spring element seen from the top, essentially filling Act opening, so that the spring element with only two Edge bars on the mattress pad. Of course you can also two, three or four comparatively large holes be appropriate in this area. The recesses can as supervisory circles, double circles, ovals, with and without Longitudinal slots can be formed, but also as an S-shaped Recesses u. Like. More, the spring elements depending on the recess may have a different spring behavior. They can be softer or harder, they can be sideways, i.e. across, to the cross beams, be easily deformable or rigid against this movement u. Like. more.
Vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Federelemente in wechselnder Folge gegeneinander versetzt in der Fläche des Bettrahmens verteilt angeordnet sind, so daß ein Wechsel der Überbrückung zweier benachbarter Querstangen gegeben ist. Die direkt randseitig einander anstoßenden Federlemente sind dabei versetzt zueinander angeordnet.It is advantageous if the spring elements in alternating Follow each other in the bed frame are distributed so that a change in the bridging two adjacent crossbars is given. The spring elements directly abutting one another on the edge staggered.
Die querverlaufenden, die Federelemente tragenden Stangen können selbst wiederum ihrerseits aus federndem Material gebildet sein, etwa als federnde Metallstangen, als glasfaserverstärkte Kunststoffstangen, kohlefaserverstärkte Stangen od. dgl. mehr. Die Querstangen können auch drehbar im oder am Rahmen gelagert sein. The transverse bars carrying the spring elements themselves can in turn be made of resilient material be formed, such as resilient metal rods, as glass fiber reinforced Plastic poles, carbon fiber reinforced poles or the like. more. The crossbars can also be rotated in the or be stored on the frame.
Da die Federelemente ihrerseits ebenfalls aus sehr unterschiedlichem Material bestehen können, Kunststoff aus gummiähnlichem Material, aus federndem dünnen Metall od. dgl., ist es ggf. zweckmäßig, dem Benutzer die Federstärke optisch anzuzeigen, etwa durch Markierungen an den Federelementen.Since the spring elements in turn also from very different Can consist of material, plastic made of rubber-like Material, of resilient thin metal or the like, it may be appropriate to visually indicate the spring strength to the user indicated, for example by markings on the spring elements.
Um Beispiele zu nennen, könnte die Art der Locheinbringung an der Oberfläche ein Hinweis auf das Federverhalten darstellen, wie etwa die Verteilung oder die Größe der Löcher oder aber unterschiedliche Außenkonturen der Löcher. In anderer Weise könnte eine Markierung oder Beschriftung vorgesehen sein. Eine besonders zweckmäßige Ausgestaltung besteht aber darin, die Federelemente unterschiedlich farbig auszulegen, um dem Benutzer zu signalisieren, welche Federhärte das jeweilige Federelement auszeichnet.To give examples, the type of hole insertion could be represent an indication of the spring behavior on the surface, such as the distribution or size of the holes or different outer contours of the holes. In others A marking or labeling could be provided in this way his. There is a particularly useful embodiment but in that the spring elements have different colors to indicate to the user which spring hardness distinguishes the respective spring element.
Eine besondere erfindungsgemäße Ausgestaltung besteht darin, den Bettrahmen einschließlich der Querträger sowie der Vielzahl von Federelementen als Bausatz zum Selbstzusammenbau für den Endverbraucher auszugestalten.A special embodiment according to the invention consists in the bed frame including the cross members and the Variety of spring elements as a kit for self-assembly for the end user.
Es kann Einsatzfälle geben, in denen es zweckmäßig ist, die Federelemente nicht ausschließlich, wenigstens soweit eine Bettfläche betroffen ist, als umlaufend endlose Bänder auszubilden, es kann auch sinnvoll sein, wenigstens teilweise diese Federelemente lediglich so zu gestalten, daß der Federbereich als Teilbogen ausgebildet ist.There may be cases in which it is appropriate to Spring elements not exclusively, at least as far as one Bed area is affected, to form endless belts it may also be useful, at least in part to design these spring elements only so that the spring area is designed as a partial sheet.
Auch dies sieht die Erfindung in weiterer Ausgestaltung vor, um so, ein besonderer Vorteil und Merkmal der Erfindung, erreichen zu können, daß auf der Fläche des Bettrahmens teilflächenweise Federelemente unterschiedlicher Härte vorgesehen sind. So kann der Schulterbereich weich federnd ausgebildet sein, während der Kopf- und der Beckenbereich eine härtere Federung aufweist u. dgl. mehr.The invention also sees this in a further embodiment before, in particular, a particular advantage and feature of the invention, to be able to achieve that on the surface of the bed frame partial spring elements of different hardness are provided. So the shoulder area can be soft and springy be trained during the head and pelvic area has a harder suspension u. Like. more.
