Abstract

The mattress lifter can include a gas spring (6) and lifting rail (5). The mattress (3) and/or mattress and slatted frame (2) can be brought by a single lift and/or fold into a position from which the mattress is accessible as a whole from one side. The gas spring can be rotatably fixed between slatted mattress frame and bed frame (1) through the lift rail so that the slatted frame and mattress can be lifted up about rotary joints (4) mounted at the top and foot ends. A pressure rod can be fitted between gas spring and slatted frame to transfer pressure force of the piston rod of the gas spring to the lift rail.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Matratzenheber zum Anheben und/oder Umklappen des Lattenrostes und der darauf befindlichen Matratze eines handelsüblichen Bettes.The invention relates to a mattress lifter for lifting and / or folding the Slatted frame and the mattress on it of a commercially available bed.

Ein solcher Matratzenheber ist in vielerlei Ausgestaltung aus der Praxis bekannt. Üblicherweise handelt es sich hierbei um Konstruktionen, die entweder Lattenrost und Matratze waagerecht anheben (beispielsweise Hebevorrichtungen wie sie in Krankenhausbetten verwendet werden) oder um Konstruktionen durch die die Matratze am Fußende bzw. separat an Kopf- und Fußende aufgeklappt werden kann (wie es bei sog. Polsterliegen realisiert ist).Such a mattress lifter is known from practice in a variety of configurations. Usually these are constructions that are either slatted frames and lift the mattress horizontally (e.g. lifting devices as in Hospital beds are used) or to be constructed by the Mattress can be opened at the foot end or separately at the head and foot ends (as it is realized with so-called upholstered beds).

Wird die Matratze waagerecht angehoben, so entsteht der Nachteil, dass man sich um an alle vier Ecken der Matratze zu gelangen, weit über die Matratze vorbeugen muss, oder um das Bett herumgehen muss; hier besteht jedoch grundsätzlich die Problematik, dass die meisten Betten seitlich an einer Wand stehen, oder dass zwei Matratzen ein Doppelbett bilden, sodass auch hier die Matratze nur von einer Seite zugänglich ist.
Bei Lösungen sog. Polsterbetten wird die Matratze entweder komplett am Fußende angehoben und um das Kopfende als Drehpunkt aufgeklappt, oder es werden über einen auf Brusthöhe der Liegefläche befindlichen Drehpunkt separat Kopf- und Fußende aufgeklappt.
Der Nachteil liegt bei diesen beiden Teillösungen wiederum darin, dass man sich weit über das Bett vorbeugen muss, bzw. um das Bett herumgehen muss, falls wie oben dargestellt überhaupt möglich. Weiterhin ist ein separates Anheben bzw. Aufklappen von Kopf- und Fußende insofern nachteilig, da dies zwei Arbeitsschritte erfordert.
Hier will die Erfindung insgesamt Abhilfe schaffen.If the mattress is raised horizontally, the disadvantage arises that to get to all four corners of the mattress, you have to bend over the mattress or walk around the bed; However, the basic problem here is that most beds are on the side of a wall, or that two mattresses form a double bed, so that here too the mattress is only accessible from one side.
In so-called upholstered bed solutions, the mattress is either raised completely at the foot end and opened around the head end as a fulcrum, or the head and foot ends are opened separately via a fulcrum at the chest level of the lying surface.
The disadvantage of these two partial solutions is that you have to lean over the bed or walk around the bed, if at all possible, as shown above. Furthermore, a separate lifting or unfolding of the head and foot ends is disadvantageous in that it requires two work steps.
The invention seeks to remedy this overall.

Der Erfindung liegt das technische Problem zugrunde, einen Matratzenheber der eingangs beschriebenen Gestaltung so weiterzuentwickeln, dass Arbeiten an der Matratze, wie das Bespannen, Reinigen o. ä. von einer Person mit geringerem Kraft-, Arbeits- und Zeitaufwand durchgeführt werden können. In diesem Zusammenhang wird gezielt eine Lösung angestrebt, durch die die Matratze durch einmaliges Anheben und/oder Umklappen in eine Position gebracht wird, aus der die Matratze ganzflächig zugänglich ist; weiterhin sollen die Arbeiten von einer Seite aus durchgeführt werden können.The invention is based on the technical problem of a mattress lifter to further develop the design described at the beginning so that work on the Mattress, such as covering, cleaning or the like by a person with less force, Labor and time expenditure can be carried out. In this context a targeted solution is sought through which the mattress can be Lifting and / or folding is brought into a position from which the mattress is fully accessible; the work should continue from one side can be carried out.

Zur Lösung dieser Aufgabe schlägt die Erfindung vor, dass Lattenrost und Matratze entweder nur um eine Längsseite des Bettes um- bzw. aufgeklappt werden, oder dass Matratze und Lattenrost sowohl angehoben als auch um- bzw. aufgeklappt werden.To achieve this object, the invention proposes that the slatted frame and mattress either only be folded over or unfolded around one long side of the bed, or that the mattress and slatted frame are both raised and folded or unfolded become.

Zum Um- bzw. Aufklappen von Matratze (3) und Lattenrost (2) wird ein Drehgelenk (4) jeweils kopf- und fußseitig an einer der beiden Längsseiten zwischen Lattenrost (2) und Bettgestell (1 ) montiert.

  • Fig. 1:
    Eine Gasfeder (6) ist jeweils am Bett kopf- und fußendig einerseits am Lattenrost (2) über eine daran befestigte Hubschiene (5), andererseits am Bettgestell (1), drehbar befestigt. Durch leichtes Anheben des Lattenrostes (2) beginnen sich die Gasfedern (6) zu entspannen; Lattenrost (2) und Matratze (3) werden um die jeweils kopf- und fußendig befindlichen Drehgelenke (4) aufgeklappt.
  • Fig. 2:
    Darüber hinaus kann die zuvor beschriebene Lösung kopf- und fußendig jeweils um einen Druckstab (7) erweitert werden. Dieser ist einerseits über eine Hubschiene (5) am Lattenrost (2), andererseits an der Kolbenstange der Gasfeder (6) drehbar befestigt. Die Kolbenstange der Gasfeder (6) wird horizontal, mittels einer Linearführung (8) geführt; beim Entspannen der Gasfeder (6) wird die Druckkraft über den Druckstab (7) auf den Lattenrost (2) übertragen. Lattenrost (2) und Matratze (3) werden um die kopf- und fußendig montierten Drehgelenke (4) aufgeklappt.
  • Fig. 3:
    Nach einem Vorschlag mit selbständiger Bedeutung kann mittels eines Hubpedals (9) die Kraft über ein Zugseil (10), oder einen Zugstab (10), auf den Kniehebel (11) übertragen werden. Dieser ist einerseits über eine Tragschiene (12) am Bettgestell (1), andererseits über eine Hubschiene (5) am Lattenrost (2) befestigt. Durch die aufgewandte Kraft wird der Kniehebel (11) aus seiner Decklage in seine Strecklage gebracht; hierbei werden Lattenrost (2) und Matratze (3) um die Drehgelenke (4) um- bzw. aufgeklappt.
  • Fig. 4:
    Nach einem weiteren Vorschlag mit selbständiger Bedeutung kann die zum Aufklappen des Lattenrostes (2) und der Matratze (3) erforderliche Kraft durch einen Elektromotor (13) erzeugt werden. Der Elektromotor (13) treibt ein Zahnrad (14) an, welches in ein verzahntes Abtriebsglied (15) eingreift. Das Abtriebsglied (15) ist seinerseits rückseitig durch eine Rolle (16) geführt. Führungsrolle (16) und Elektromotor (13) sind am Bettgestell (1) montiert, das Abtriebsglied (15) ist am Lattenrost (2) befestigt. Durch Drehrichtungsumkehr des Elektromotors (13) können Lattenrost (2) und Matratze (3) um die jeweils kopf- und fußendig montierten Drehgelenke (4) auf- und zugeklappt werden.
  • Fig. 5:
    Weiterhin kann das Um- bzw. Aufklappen von Lattenrost (2) und Matratze (3) durch jeweils ein kopf- und fußendig montiertes, viergliedriges Getriebe mit Zugfeder (17) realisiert werden. Hierzu ist das Glied 1 (18) am Bettgestell (1) und das Glied 2 (19) am Lattenrost (2) befestigt. Die beiden anderen Glieder (20) und (21) bilden einen Kniehebel, der sich bei abgesenkter Matratze in Decklage befindet. Durch leichtes Anheben des Lattenrostes (2) beginnt die Zugfeder (17) den Kniehebel zu strecken und klappt somit Lattenrost (2) und Matratze (3) um die Drehgelenke (4) auf.
  • Fig. 6:
    Das kombinierte Anheben und Um- bzw. Aufklappen von Lattenrost (2) und Matratze
    (3) kann durch ein viergliedriges Getriebe mit einer Gasfeder (22), jeweils kopf- und fußseitig montiert, realisiert werden. Hierbei ist vorgesehen, dass das Glied 1 (23) am Bettgestell (1), und dass Glied 4 (24) am Lattenrost (2) befestigt wird. Die Glieder 2 (25) und 3 (26) sind drehbar mit den Gliedern 1 (23) und 4 (24) verbunden, sodass durch die Federkraft der Gasfeder (22) das Glied 2 (25) um das Gelenk 1 (27), und das Glied 3 (26) um das Gelenk 2 (28) dreht. Dadurch werden Lattenrost (2) und Matratze (3) sowohl angehoben, als auch um- bzw. aufgeklappt.
  • Fig. 7:
    Nach einem Vorschlag mit selbständiger Bedeutung kann das kombinierte Anheben und Um- bzw. Aufklappen durch zwei Kniehebelpaare (29) und (30), jeweils kopfund fußseitig montiert, realisiert werden. Jeweils die oberen Glieder der Kniehebel (29) und (30) sind drehbar über eine Hubschiene (36) am Lattenrost (2) befestigt, die unteren drehbar am Boden (31 ) oder am Bettgestell (1). An den Verbindungspunkten (32) und (33) der beiden Glieder ist an jedem Kniehebel (29) und (30) eine Gasfeder (34) und (35) drehbar befestigt; hierbei handelt es sich bei dem kurzen Kniehebel (29) um eine kurze Gasfeder (34) und bei dem langen Kniehebel (30) um eine lange Gasfeder (35). Durch die unterschiedlich langen Glieder und Gasfedern werden durch die beiden Kniehebel (29) und (30) beim Entspannen der Gasfedern (34) und (35) unterschiedliche Wege zurückgelegt, sodass Lattenrost (2) und Matratze (3) sowohl angehoben als auch um- bzw. aufgeklappt werden.
  • Fig. 8:
    Das kombinierte Anheben und Um- bzw. Aufklappen von Lattenrost (2) und Matratze (3) kann auch durch ein von einem Verstellelement (37) angetriebenen, dreigliedrigen Getriebe realisiert werden. Hierbei ist vorgesehen, dass der Lattenrost (2) durch seine azentrische Lagerung im Lager (38) beim Anheben durch das Getriebe in die gewünschte Richtung kippt.
    • To fold or unfold the mattress (3) and slatted frame (2), a swivel joint (4) is mounted on the head and foot side on one of the two long sides between the slatted frame (2) and bed frame (1).
  • Fig. 1:
    A gas spring (6) is rotatably attached to the bed at the head and foot end on the one hand on the slatted frame (2) via a lifting rail (5) attached to it, and on the other hand on the bed frame (1). The gas springs (6) begin to relax by slightly lifting the slatted frame (2); Slatted frame (2) and mattress (3) are unfolded around the swivel joints (4) located at the top and bottom.
  • Fig. 2:
    In addition, the solution described above can be expanded at the head and foot end by a pressure rod (7). On the one hand, this is rotatably attached to the slatted frame (2) via a lifting rail (5) and, on the other hand, to the piston rod of the gas spring (6). The piston rod of the gas spring (6) is guided horizontally by means of a linear guide (8); When the gas spring (6) is released, the pressure force is transferred to the slatted frame (2) via the pressure rod (7). Slatted frame (2) and mattress (3) are opened around the swivel joints (4) mounted at the head and foot end.
  • Fig. 3:
    According to a proposal of independent importance, the force can be transmitted to the toggle lever (11) by means of a lifting pedal (9) via a pull rope (10) or a pull rod (10). This is attached to the bed frame (1) on the one hand via a mounting rail (12) and on the slatted frame (2) via a lifting rail (5). The toggle lever (11) is brought from its top position into its extended position by the force applied; the slatted frame (2) and mattress (3) are folded up or down around the swivel joints (4).
  • Fig. 4:
    According to a further proposal of independent importance, the force required to open the slatted frame (2) and the mattress (3) can be generated by an electric motor (13). The electric motor (13) drives a gearwheel (14) which engages in a toothed output member (15). The output member (15) is in turn guided on the back by a roller (16). Guide roller (16) and electric motor (13) are mounted on the bed frame (1), the output member (15) is attached to the slatted frame (2). By reversing the direction of rotation of the electric motor (13), slatted frame (2) and mattress (3) can be opened and closed around the swivel joints (4) which are mounted at the head and foot end.
  • Fig. 5:
    Furthermore, the slatted frame (2) and mattress (3) can be folded over or unfolded by a four-section gear with tension spring (17) mounted at the head and foot end. For this purpose, link 1 (18) is attached to the bed frame (1) and link 2 (19) to the slatted frame (2). The other two links (20) and (21) form a toggle lever, which is in the top position when the mattress is lowered. By slightly lifting the slatted frame (2), the tension spring (17) begins to stretch the toggle lever and thus opens up the slatted frame (2) and mattress (3) around the swivel joints (4).
  • Fig. 6:
    The combined lifting and folding or unfolding of slatted frame (2) and mattress
    (3) can be realized by a four-link gear with a gas spring (22), each mounted on the head and foot side. It is provided that link 1 (23) is attached to the bed frame (1) and link 4 (24) to the slatted frame (2). The links 2 (25) and 3 (26) are rotatably connected to the links 1 (23) and 4 (24) so that the link 2 (25) around the joint 1 (27) by the spring force of the gas spring (22), and link 3 (26) rotates about hinge 2 (28). As a result, the slatted frame (2) and mattress (3) are both raised and folded or unfolded.
  • Fig. 7:
    According to a proposal of independent importance, the combined lifting and folding or unfolding can be carried out using two pairs of toggle levers (29) and (30), each mounted on the head and foot side. The upper links of the toggle levers (29) and (30) are rotatably attached to the slatted frame (2) by means of a lifting rail (36), the lower links are rotatably attached to the floor (31) or to the bed frame (1). At the connection points (32) and (33) of the two links, a gas spring (34) and (35) is rotatably attached to each toggle lever (29) and (30); the short toggle lever (29) is a short gas spring (34) and the long toggle lever (30) is a long gas spring (35). Due to the different lengths of the links and gas springs, the two toggle levers (29) and (30) cover different distances when the gas springs (34) and (35) are relaxed, so that the slatted frame (2) and mattress (3) are both raised and or be opened.
  • Fig. 8:
    The combined lifting and folding or unfolding of the slatted frame (2) and mattress (3) can also be achieved by means of a three-part gear driven by an adjusting element (37). It is provided here that the slatted frame (2) tilts in the desired direction when it is lifted by the gearbox due to its eccentric bearing in the bearing (38).
