La présente invention concerne un cadre de lit démontable notamment pour réaliser un sommier à lattes.The present invention relates to a removable bed frame in particular for create a slatted frame.

Les cadres de lit de sommiers à lattes sont connus. De tels cadres comportent une armature en forme de cadre et une pluralité de lattes disposées soit entre deux côtés longitudinaux de l'armature, soit entre les côtés de l'armature et une poutre divisant le cadre en deux dans un sens longitudinal.Bed frames of slatted bed frames are known. Such frames have a frame-like frame and a plurality of laths arranged either between two longitudinal sides of the reinforcement, or between the sides of the reinforcement and a beam dividing the frame in two in a longitudinal direction.

Dans le but de réaliser un cadre de sommier à lattes pouvant notamment être fourni en éléments détachés, il est préférable de pouvoir réaliser le cadre en plusieurs parties en vue de proposer aux clients un paquet de faible volume. Un tel cadre doit toutefois rester solide et offrir une grande rigidité une fois monté.In order to create a frame slatted frame including be provided in detached elements, it is better to be able to realize the frame in several parties to offer customers a low volume package. A such a frame must however remain solid and offer a high rigidity once mounted.

Pour ce faire, l'invention propose principalement de réaliser un cadre de lit démontable, notamment un cadre à lattes comportant un élément de cadre formant première extrémité, un élément de cadre formant seconde extrémité, deux éléments de cadre latéraux, les éléments de cadre formant première et seconde extrémités comportant chacun une branche centrale et deux branches latérales, en prolongement des éléments de cadre latéraux, les éléments de cadre comportant des parties complémentaires de fixation pourvues de perçages de réception de tiges de serrage.To do this, the invention proposes mainly to make a bed frame removable, in particular a slatted frame comprising a frame element forming a first end, a frame member forming a second end, two side frame elements, the frame elements forming first and second ends each having a central branch and two lateral branches, in extension of the side frame elements, the frame elements having complementary fastening parts provided with drill holes receiving clamping rods.

Plus particulièrement, les parties complémentaires de fixation peuvent être à emboítement, et comporter une partie femelle constituée par une terminaison tubulaire d'au moins un des éléments de cadre et une partie mâle constituée par une terminaison tubulaire de section réduite d'un autre élément de cadre.More particularly, the complementary attachment parts can be interlocking, and comprise a female part constituted by a termination tubular of at least one of the frame members and a male portion formed by a tubular termination of reduced section of another frame member.

En mode de réalisation préférentiel, les tiges de serrage sont des tiges de fixation de pieds, les pieds ainsi disposés sous les parties complémentaires de fixation mutuelle formant renforts desdites parties complémentaires de fixation. In a preferred embodiment, the clamping rods are rods of fixing feet, the feet thus arranged under the complementary parts of mutual attachment forming reinforcements of said complementary fastening parts.

Le cadre de lit selon l'invention peut en outre comporter une traverse longitudinale pourvue de pattes de fixation s'appliquant sur les éléments de cadre formant première et seconde extrémités.The bed frame according to the invention may further comprise a cross-member lengthwise provided with fastening lugs on the frame elements forming first and second ends.

D'autres caractéristiques et avantages de l'invention seront mieux comprises à la lecture de la description qui va suivre d'un exemple de réalisation non limitatif de l'invention en référence aux dessins qui représentent:

  • En figure 1: une vue partielle d'un cadre selon l'invention;
  • En figure 2: un détail d'une partie complémentaire de fixation selon l'invention;
  • En figures 3: un détail de la fixation montée.
  • Other features and advantages of the invention will be better understood on reading the following description of a nonlimiting exemplary embodiment of the invention with reference to the drawings which represent:
  • In Figure 1: a partial view of a frame according to the invention;
  • In Figure 2: a detail of a complementary fixing part according to the invention;
  • In Figures 3: a detail of the mounting mounted.
  • L'invention concerne un cadre de lit démontable, notamment un cadre à lattes 12. Le cadre selon l'invention représenté en figure 1 partiellement monté est démontable et pour ce faire est découpé en éléments dont des éléments de cadre latéraux 3, 4 recevant les lattes 12 et comportant pour ce faire des trous 13 et en un élément de cadre 1 formant première extrémité et un élément de cadre 2 formant seconde extrémité. Pour ne pas surcharger la figure, deux lattes seulement sont représentées mais bien entendu le lit comporte plusieurs lattes réparties sous le couchage.The invention relates to a removable bed frame, in particular a frame 12. The frame according to the invention shown in FIG. removable and to do this is cut into elements including frame elements 3, 4 receiving the slats 12 and having holes 13 and a frame member 1 forming a first end and a frame member 2 forming a second end. To avoid overloading the figure, two slats only are represented but of course the bed has several slats spread under the bed.

    Selon l'invention, les éléments 1, 2 de cadre formant première et seconde extrémités comportent une branche centrale 1a, 2a et deux branches latérales 1b, 2b, 1c, 2c.According to the invention, the elements 1, 2 of frame forming first and second ends comprise a central branch 1a, 2a and two lateral branches 1b, 2b, 1c, 2c.

    Ces éléments en forme de U ont pour intérêt d'être d'encombrement réduit. D'autre part, les branches latérales 1b, 2b, 1c, 2c sont réalisées en prolongement des éléments de cadre latéraux 3, 4 permettant de positionner les jonctions entre les éléments dans des zones faiblement sollicitées du lit.These U-shaped elements have the advantage of being compact. On the other hand, the lateral branches 1b, 2b, 1c, 2c are made in extension lateral frame members 3, 4 for positioning the junctions between the elements in weakly stressed areas of the bed.

    Les jonctions entre les éléments du cadre, représentées notamment en figure 2, sont réalisées par des parties complémentaires de fixation 5, 6 à emboítement qui comportent une terminaison femelle 5 constituée par une terminaison tubulaire d'au moins un des éléments de cadre et une terminaison mâle 6 constituée par une terminaison tubulaire de section réduite d'un autre élément de cadre. Les partie complémentaires sont pourvues de perçages 7, 8 de réception de tiges de serrage 9 s'introduisant perpendiculairement à la direction d'emboítement. Les tiges de serrage maintiennent les parties emboítées. The junctions between the elements of the frame, represented in particular in FIG. 2 are made by complementary fixing parts 5, 6 to nesting which comprise a female end 5 constituted by a tubular termination of at least one of the frame members and a termination male 6 constituted by a tubular termination of reduced section of another frame element. The complementary parts are provided with holes 7, 8 of receiving clamping rods 9 introducing themselves perpendicular to the direction Nesting. The clamping rods keep the parts nested.

    Dans le but de sécuriser les fixations, les tiges de serrage 9 sont des tiges de fixation de pieds 10. Les pieds 10 représentés notamment en figure 2 sont réalisés dans un matériau massif et avantageusement sont suffisamment larges pour être positionnés non seulement sous les parties complémentaires de fixation 5, 6 mais aussi déborder sous les parties des éléments de cadre en amont et en aval des parties de fixation. Ainsi, les pieds 10 constituent des renfort desdites parties complémentaires de fixation 5, 6 et permettent que le poids du dormeur soit directement transmis aux pieds sans solliciter l'emboítement des parties de fixation. Le positionnement des pieds sous l'emboítement est représenté en figure 3 permettant de visualiser le débordement des pieds sous les paries tubulaires des éléments de cadre au delà de la partie d'emboítement.In order to secure the fasteners, the clamping rods 9 are rods The feet 10 shown in particular in FIG. made of a solid material and advantageously are sufficiently wide to be positioned not only under the complementary fixing parts 5, 6 but also overflow under the parts of the upstream frame elements and into downstream of the attachment parts. Thus, the feet 10 constitute reinforcement of said complementary fixing parts 5, 6 and allow the sleeper weight directly transmitted to the feet without soliciting the interlocking parts of fixation. The positioning of the feet under the nesting is represented in figure 3 to visualize the overflow of the feet under the paries tubular frame elements beyond the interlocking portion.

    Dans le cas d'un lit deux places, une traverse longitudinale 11 pourvue de pattes 11a, 11b est positionnée au milieu du cadre dans une direction longitudinale pour permettre de poser deux jeux de lattes 12. La traverse 11 comporte pour sa fixation sur le cadre des pattes 11a, 11b de fixation s'appliquant sur les éléments de cadre 1, 2 formant première et seconde extrémités.In the case of a double bed, a longitudinal beam 11 provided with legs 11a, 11b is positioned in the middle of the frame in one direction longitudinal to allow to put two sets of slats 12. The crossbar 11 comprises for fixing on the frame fastening tabs 11a, 11b applying on the frame members 1, 2 forming first and second ends.
