Description

La présente invention concerne le domaine général des accessoires de literie ; elle concerne plus particulièrement un dispositif de butée latérale pour matelas.The present invention relates to the general field of bedding accessories; it relates more particularly to a device for lateral stop for mattress.

Ce type d'organe de butée, par exemple décrit dans les documents FR-2 752 707 et FR-2 822 040 , permet d'assurer un positionnement correct du matelas sur son sommier support, notamment sur un sommier à lattes.This type of abutment member, for example described in the documents FR-2,752,707 and FR-2 822 040 , makes it possible to ensure correct positioning of the mattress on its support base, in particular on a slatted base.

En particulier, le document FR-2 822 040 précité décrit un élément de butée formant un profil en L, qui se fixe sur une unique traverse du sommier par l'intermédiaire d'un élément élastique adapté.In particular, the document FR-2 822 040 described above a stop member forming an L-shaped profile, which is fixed on a single cross member of the bed base via a suitable elastic element.

La présente invention propose un perfectionnement à ce genre de dispositif, pour faciliter son réglage en positionnement sur la longueur des lattes supports, et pour améliorer ses caractéristiques de verrouillage ou de blocage sur lesdites lattes.The present invention proposes an improvement to this kind of device, to facilitate its adjustment in positioning along the length of the support slats, and to improve its locking or locking characteristics on said slats.

Le dispositif de butée conforme à l'invention est du type de celui décrit dans le document FR-2 752 707 , c'est-à-dire comprenant un élément de butée latérale en forme de L, constituée d'un socle prolongé par un retour à l'équerre contre lequel le chant du matelas est destiné à venir en contact, associé à une embase munie de moyens adaptés pour venir se fixer sur un couple de lattes du sommier, les lattes dudit couple étant disposées dans le même plan horizontal, comportant chacune un chant dit « externe » et un chant dit « interne », lesquels chants « internes » desdites lattes sont espacés l'un de l'autre pour former un espace inter-lattes.The stop device according to the invention is of the type described in the document FR-2,752,707 , that is to say comprising an L-shaped lateral stop element consisting of a base extended by a return to the square against which the edge of the mattress is intended to come into contact, associated with a base provided with means adapted to be fixed on a pair of slats of the bed base, the slats of said pair being disposed in the same horizontal plane, each having a so-called "external" song and a so-called "internal" song, which "internal" songs of said slats are spaced from each other to form an inter-slat space.

Selon l'invention, l'embase et l'élément de butée sont en deux pièces distinctes ; l'embase se présente sous la forme d'un corps plan destiné à venir se positionner sur la face supérieure des lattes, et dont les bordures latérales sont munies d'organes d'accrochage sur les chants « externes » desdites lattes ; la partie centrale de ce corps plan est muni d'un orifice venant dans l'encombrement de l'espace inter-lattes, destiné au passage d'un tenon de verrouillage aménagé sur le socle de l'élément de butée, et ce tenon comporte des moyens qui, après son insertion dans ledit orifice de l'embase, d'une part, permettent le verrouillage amovible de l'élément de butée sur son embase support, et d'autre part permettent le verrouillage amovible de cette embase sur le couple de lattes supports.According to the invention, the base and the stop element are in two separate parts; the base is in the form of a flat body intended to be positioned on the upper face of the slats, and whose side edges are provided with fastening members on the "outer" edges of said slats; the central part of this planar body is provided with an orifice coming in the bulk of the inter-slat space, intended for the passage of a locking pin arranged on the base of the abutment element, and this tenon comprises means which, after insertion into said orifice of the base, on the one hand, allow the removable locking of the stop member on its support base, and on the other hand allow the removable locking of this base on the couple support slats.

Selon une forme de réalisation préférée, le tenon de verrouillage de l'élément de butée comporte un pied et une tête d'extrémité. La face de cette tête orientée du côté du socle de l'élément de butée est séparée dudit socle d'une distance correspondant environ à l'épaisseur du corps plan de l'embase. Cette tête de tenon est en outre adaptée, après insertion dudit tenon dans ledit orifice de l'embase, et rotation de ce tenon autour de l'axe dudit orifice sous l'effet d'une action de rotation sur ledit élément de butée en L, d'une part pour passer directement sous une partie du corps d'embase afin de bloquer ce corps d'embase entre ledit socle de butée et ladite tête d'extrémité du tenon de verrouillage, et d'autre part pour venir en contact avec les chants « internes » en regard des deux lattes supports, avec une légère action d'écartement desdites lattes, pour assurer le verrouillage de l'embase sur ledit couple de lattes.
Dans ce cadre, le corps d'embase comporte avantageusement un orifice allongé, et le socle de butée comporte un pied de tenon circulaire, prolongé à l'équerre par deux ailes diamétralement opposées formant la tête d'extrémité dudit tenon, lesdites ailes latérales faisant office de came de verrouillage lors de la mise en place par rotation de l'élément de butée sur l'embase support.According to a preferred embodiment, the locking pin of the stop element comprises a foot and an end head. The face of this head oriented towards the base of the abutment element is separated from said base by a distance approximately corresponding to the thickness of the plane body of the base. This stud head is further adapted, after insertion of said tenon into said orifice of the base, and rotation of this tenon around the axis of said orifice under the effect of a rotational action on said an L-stop element, firstly to pass directly under a part of the base body in order to block this base body between said abutment base and said end of the locking post, and secondly to come into contact with "internal" songs facing the two support slats, with a slight spacing action of said slats, to ensure the locking of the base on said pair of slats.
In this context, the base body advantageously comprises an elongated orifice, and the abutment base comprises a circular tenon foot, extended to the bracket by two diametrically opposed wings forming the end head of said tenon, said lateral wings forming locking cam office during the positioning by rotation of the stop element on the support base.

Le dispositif de butée comporte de préférence des moyens qui assurent le verrouillage en rotation de l'élément de butée sur son embase support, lorsque ledit élément de butée est en position active, avec son retour correctement placé dans le plan du chant du matelas avec lequel il est destiné à coopérer.
Les moyens de verrouillage correspondants consistent avantageusement en au moins un ergot en saillie aménagé sur la face inférieure du socle de butée, lequel ergot est destiné à venir s'encastrer dans une mortaise de verrouillage aménagée dans la face supérieure de l'embase.The stop device preferably comprises means which ensure the rotational locking of the stop element on its support base, when said stop element is in the active position, with its return properly placed in the plane of the edge of the mattress with which it is intended to cooperate.
The corresponding locking means advantageously consist of at least one projecting lug arranged on the lower face of the abutment base, which lug is intended to fit into a locking mortise arranged in the upper face of the base.

Dans une forme de réalisation particulièrement intéressante, l'ergot en saillie coopère avec une rainure d'encastrement aménagée dans la face supérieure de l'embase, l'une des extrémités de ladite rainure constituant la mortaise d'encastrement de cet ergot, en association avec une rampe d'encastrement.In a particularly interesting embodiment, the protruding lug cooperates with a recess groove formed in the upper face of the base, one end of said groove constituting the mortise of embedding this lug, in association with an installation ramp.

Encore dans un mode de réalisation préféré, le dispositif de butée comporte deux couples de rainures/ergots de blocage tels que définis ci-dessus.In a preferred embodiment, the stop device comprises two pairs of grooves / locking lugs as defined above.

Selon une autre particularité, la face interne des organes d'accrochage de l'embase comporte des dents d'accrochage destinées à venir en appui contre les chants « externes » des lattes supports, pour améliorer le verrouillage en position de l'embase.According to another feature, the inner face of the attachment members of the base comprises attachment teeth intended to bear against the "outer" edges of the support slats, to improve the locking position of the base.

Selon encore une autre particularité, l'embase comporte un organe qui permet l'accrochage de l'élément de butée lorsque celui-ci n'est pas solidarisé avec ladite embase par son tenon de verrouillage. Cette caractéristique permet le prémontage des dispositifs de butée sur le sommier de réception, sans que les éléments de butée fassent saillie au-dessus de la face supérieure dudit sommier, en particulier pour des raisons d'encombrement.According to yet another feature, the base comprises a member which allows the attachment of the stop element when it is not secured to said base by its locking pin. This feature allows the pre-assembly of the stop devices on the receiving bed, without the stop elements protrude above the upper face of said bed base, in particular for reasons of space.

L'invention sera encore illustrée, sans être aucunement limitée, par la description suivante d'une forme de réalisation particulière, donnée uniquement à titre d'exemple, et représentée sur les dessins annexés dans lesquels :

Ses petits côtés d'extrémités 3' se prolongent vers le bas (côté face de dessous 7) par des structures d'accrochage 8 qui s'étendent parallèlement à l'axe transversal 5. A proximité des petits côtés d'extrémités, le corps plan 3 comporte des ouvertures d'allègement 9.Its small end sides 3 'extend downward (bottom side 7) by attachment structures 8 which extend parallel to the transverse axis 5. Near the short sides of the ends, the body plane 3 has lightening openings 9.

Dans sa partie centrale, le corps plan 3 comporte un orifice traversant 10. Cet orifice 10 a une forme générale allongée dont le grand axe 11 s'étend sur l'axe transversal 5 du corps plan 3, et dont le petit axe 12 s'étend sur l'axe longitudinal 4. L'orifice 10 comprend en fait une partie centrale circulaire 13 prolongée par deux extensions latérales 14 diamétralement opposées, orientées vers les grands côtés longitudinaux 3" du corps plan 3 (figure 3).In its central part, the planar body 3 comprises a through orifice 10. This orifice 10 has a generally elongated shape whose major axis 11 extends on the transverse axis 5 of the planar body 3, and whose minor axis 12 is extends on the longitudinal axis 4. The orifice 10 comprises in fact a circular central portion 13 extended by two diametrically opposite lateral extensions 14, oriented towards the long longitudinal sides 3 "of the planar body 3 ( figure 3 ).

Autour de l'orifice central 10, la face supérieure 6 du corps plan 3 comporte deux rainures pratiquement quart-circulaires 15 qui s'étendent chacune sensiblement depuis l'axe longitudinal 4, jusqu'à l'axe transversal 5. Sur l'axe transversal 5, l'extrémité de chaque rainure quart-circulaire 15 forme une sorte de mortaise 16 délimitée, d'un côté, par l'extrémité 17 de la rainure correspondante 15, et de l'autre côté, par l'extrémité 18 d'une rampe d'encastrement 19. La fonction de ces rainures 15 sera expliquée plus loin.Around the central orifice 10, the upper face 6 of the planar body 3 comprises two substantially quarter-circular grooves 15 which each extend substantially from the longitudinal axis 4, to the transverse axis 5. On the axis transverse 5, the end of each quarter-circular groove 15 forms a kind of mortise 16 delimited, on one side, by the end 17 of the corresponding groove 15, and on the other side, by the end 18 d An embedding ramp 19. The function of these grooves 15 will be explained later.

Chaque structure d'accrochage 8 consiste en un retour 20 prolongeant le petit côté 3' du corps plan 3, à partir de l'extrémité duquel s'étendent deux crochets 21 orientés vers l'intérieur. La distance entre la face de dessous 7 du corps plan 3 et la face en vis-à-vis des crochets 21 est légèrement supérieure à l'épaisseur des lattes du sommier sur lesquelles le dispositif de butée est destiné à venir se positionner.Each attachment structure 8 consists of a return 20 extending the short side 3 'of the planar body 3, from the end of which extend two hooks 21 facing inwards. The distance between the bottom face 7 of the flat body 3 and the face opposite the hooks 21 is slightly greater than the thickness of the slats of the bed base on which the stop device is intended to be positioned.

La face interne des retours 20 comporte des fines nervures 22 qui s'étendent sur toute leur hauteur et qui forment des sortes de dents en saillie. En l'occurrence une dent 22 est centrée en regard de chaque crochet 21.The inner face of the returns 20 has thin ribs 22 which extend over their entire height and which form a kind of protruding teeth. In this case a tooth 22 is centered opposite each hook 21.

D'autre part, l'un des côtés longitudinaux 3" du corps plan 3 comporte un prolongement 24 en forme générale de cadre muni de deux crochets supérieurs 25 s'étendant en vis-à-vis, parallèlement audit côté longitudinal 3". La fonction de cet organe d'accrochage 24 sera expliquée plus loin.On the other hand, one of the longitudinal sides 3 "of the planar body 3 comprises an extension 24 in the general shape of a frame provided with two upper hooks 25 extending in facing relation, parallel to said longitudinal side 3". The function of this attachment member 24 will be explained later.

L'embase 1 du dispositif de butée est réalisée par moulage-injection de matière plastique adaptée. Comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2 en particulier, la face inférieure du corps plan 3 comporte différentes nervures de rigidification intégrées dans son épaisseur.
De préférence, l'embase 1 est réalisée en matériau transparent pour lui conférer un aspect esthétique original.The base 1 of the stop device is made by injection molding of suitable plastic material. As can be seen on the figure 2 in particular, the lower face of the planar body 3 comprises different stiffening ribs integrated in its thickness.
Preferably, the base 1 is made of transparent material to give it an original aesthetic appearance.

L'élément de butée 2, illustré isolément sur les figures 6 à 11, a une forme générale en L constituée d'un socle 26 prolongé par un retour à l'équerre ou sensiblement à l'équerre 27. Dans sa partie d'extrémité libre, la face inférieure du socle 26 se prolonge, vers le bas, par un tenon monobloc 28 dont la forme est adaptée pour permettre un verrouillage amovible de l'élément de butée 2 sur l'embase 1. Le retour à l'équerre 27 est quant à lui destiné à former l'organe de butée proprement dit du matelas, c'est-à-dire qu'en position active il est destiné à venir se positionner en regard de l'un des chants latéraux de ce matelas.The abutment element 2, shown separately on the Figures 6 to 11 , has a general L-shaped consisting of a base 26 extended by a return to the square or substantially square 27. In its free end portion, the lower face of the base 26 extends downwardly, by a one-piece stud 28 whose shape is adapted to allow detachable locking of the abutment member 2 on the base 1. The return to the square 27 is meanwhile intended to form the abutment member itself of the mattress, that is to say that in the active position it is intended to be positioned in front of one of the side edges of the mattress.

Entre le tenon de verrouillage 28 et le retour 27, on remarque la présence d'une large ouverture d'allègement 29, qui délimite deux bras latéraux 30 avec les côtés longitudinaux 26' du socle 26.Between the locking pin 28 and the return 27, there is the presence of a large lightening opening 29, which delimits two lateral arms 30 with the longitudinal sides 26 'of the base 26.

Le tenon de verrouillage 28 comprend un pied cylindrique 31 prolongé par une tête d'extrémité 32. Le diamètre du pied 31 est très légèrement inférieur au diamètre de la partie circulaire 13 de l'orifice 10 de l'embase 1. La tête d'extrémité 32 est en fait constituée de deux ailes 33 qui s'étendent à l'équerre par rapport à l'axe du pied 31. Ces ailes 33 sont diamétralement opposées au niveau de l'extrémité du pied 31 ; elles sont orientées transversalement au grand axe 34 du socle 26 et occupent chacune une surface correspondant à peu près à la surface des extensions latérales 14 de l'orifice 10 de l'embase 1. Les extrémités des ailes 33 sont espacées d'une distance a (figures 8 et 10)
La distance d qui sépare les faces en regard du socle 26 et des ailes 33 (figures 9 et 10) correspond à l'épaisseur h de la partie centrale du corps plan 3 de l'embase 1.The locking pin 28 comprises a cylindrical foot 31 extended by an end head 32. The diameter of the foot 31 is very slightly less than the diameter of the circular portion 13 of the orifice 10 of the base 1. The head of end 32 is in fact made of two wings 33 which extend at right angles to the axis of the foot 31. These wings 33 are diametrically opposed at the end of the foot 31; they are oriented transversely to the major axis 34 of the base 26 and each occupy a surface corresponding approximately to the surface of the lateral extensions 14 of the orifice 10 of the base 1. The ends of the wings 33 are spaced a distance a ( figures 8 and 10 )
The distance d between the faces facing the base 26 and the wings 33 ( Figures 9 and 10 ) corresponds to the thickness h of the central part of the plane body 3 of the base 1.

Sur l'axe longitudinal 34, la face inférieure du socle 26 de l'élément de butée 2 comporte deux ergots 35, positionnés de part et d'autre du pied de tenon 31 (figures 7 et 9). Comme on le verra plus loin, ces ergots 35 sont destinés à coopérer avec les rainures 15 du corps plan 3 de l'embase 1, et plus particulièrement avec leur mortaise 16, pour verrouiller en position l'élément de butée 2 sur ladite embase 1.On the longitudinal axis 34, the lower face of the base 26 of the abutment element 2 comprises two lugs 35, positioned on either side of the tenon foot 31 ( figures 7 and 9 ). As will be seen below, these lugs 35 are intended to cooperate with the grooves 15 of the plane body 3 of the base 1, and more particularly with their mortise 16, to lock in position the stop element 2 on said base 1.

L'élément de butée 2 est aussi réalisé par moulage-injection de matière plastique adaptée ; on utilise de préférence une matière plastique transparente.The abutment element 2 is also produced by injection molding of adapted plastics material; a transparent plastic material is preferably used.

Le dispositif de butée conforme à l'invention, constitué de l'embase 1 et de l'élément de butée 2, est destiné à venir se positionner sur un couple de lattes 36a, 36b de la manière illustrée sur les figures 12 à 18.
Les lattes 36 sont des lattes classiques d'un sommier à lattes ; elles sont maintenues au niveau de leurs extrémités par des structures supports adaptées (non représentées) solidaires des longerons du sommier, par exemple des rotules de suspension bi-lattes.The stop device according to the invention, consisting of the base 1 and of the abutment element 2 is intended to be positioned on a pair of slats 36 a, 36 b in the manner illustrated in Figures 12 to 18 .
The slats 36 are conventional slats of a slatted bed base; they are held at their ends by suitable support structures (not shown) integral with the longitudinal members of the bed, for example two-slat suspension ball joints.

Tout d'abord, tel que représenté sur la figure 12, l'embase 1 est encliquetée en position désirée sur les faces supérieures des deux lattes 36a, 36b disposées dans le même plan horizontal et écartées l'une de l'autre pour former un espace inter-lattes 37. Le corps plan 3 de l'embase 1 recouvre les faces supérieures des deux lattes 36a et 36b. L'encliquetage correspondant est réalisé sans effort particulier grâce aux structures d'accrochage 8 qui viennent s'accrocher sur les chants « externes » 36'a, 36'b du couple de lattes 36. La distance entre les deux structures d'accrochage 8 en vis-à-vis, et l'épaisseur d'accrochage, sont adaptées en conséquence. L'orifice 10 de l'embase 1 est alors positionné dans l'encombrement de l'espace inter-lattes 37 ; son grand axe 11 se situe sensiblement sur l'axe médian dudit espace inter-lattes 37.First, as depicted on the figure 12 , The base 1 is latched in the desired position on the upper faces of two bars 36 a, 36 b disposed in the same horizontal plane and spaced apart from each other to form an inter-space slats 37. The planar body 3 of the base 1 covers the upper surfaces of the two slats 36 a and 36 b. The corresponding snap-fastening is achieved without any particular effort thanks to the fastening structures 8 which hook onto the "outer" edges 36 ' a , 36' b of the pair of slats 36. The distance between the two fastening structures 8 vis-à-vis, and the attachment thickness, are adapted accordingly. The orifice 10 of the base 1 is then positioned in the bulk of the inter-slat space 37; its major axis 11 lies substantially on the median axis of said inter-slat space 37.

Pour son positionnement, l'élément de butée 2 est présenté au-dessus de l'embase 1, l'axe longitudinal 34 de son socle 26 s'étendant parallèlement ou sensiblement parallèlement à l'axe longitudinal 4 de ladite embase 1.For its positioning, the abutment element 2 is presented above the base 1, the longitudinal axis 34 of its base 26 extending parallel or substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis 4 of said base 1.

Le tenon 28 de l'élément de butée 2 est ensuite introduit dans l'orifice 10 de l'embase 1 (figures 13 et 14). Lors de cette opération, le pied 31 du tenon 28 passe dans la partie circulaire centrale 13 de l'orifice 10, et les ailes 33 de la tête d'extrémité 32 passent dans les parties latérales 14 dudit orifice 10 ; les ergots 35 viennent alors en butée dans le fond des rainures 15, sensiblement sur l'axe longitudinal 4.
Il suffit alors de faire pivoter l'élément de butée 2 autour de l'axe de l'orifice 10, tel qu'illustré sur les figures 15 et 16. Lors de cette manoeuvre, les ailes latérales 33 de la tête de tenon 32 viennent se positionner en regard d'une partie de la face inférieure 7 du corps plan 3 de l'embase 1, empêchant ainsi toute possibilité de désencastrement axial. Dans le même mouvement, les ergots 35 transitent dans les rainures 15 jusqu'à ce qu'ils atteignent la rampe d'encastrement 19, avant de venir s'encastrer dans les mortaises d'extrémité 16.
Toujours dans le même mouvement, les ailes latérales 33 circulent dans l'espace inter-lattes 37, et leurs extrémités viennent progressivement en butée contre les chants « internes » 36"a, 36"b en regard du couple de lattes 36. Elles agissent alors à la manière de cames qui tendent à écarter légèrement les deux lattes l'une de l'autre. La distance a entre les extrémités des ailes 33 est légèrement supérieure à la distance normale entre les chants « internes » 36"a et 36"b des lattes 36.The tenon 28 of the abutment element 2 is then introduced into the orifice 10 of the base 1 ( Figures 13 and 14 ). During this operation, the foot 31 of the tenon 28 passes into the central circular portion 13 of the orifice 10, and the wings 33 of the end head 32 pass into the lateral portions 14 of said orifice 10; the lugs 35 then come into abutment in the bottom of the grooves 15, substantially on the longitudinal axis 4.
It is then sufficient to rotate the abutment element 2 about the axis of the orifice 10, as illustrated in FIGS. Figures 15 and 16 . During this maneuver, the lateral wings 33 of the tenon head 32 are positioned facing a portion of the lower face 7 of the planar body 3 of the base 1, thus preventing any possibility of axial unmounting. In the same movement, the lugs 35 pass through the grooves 15 until they reach the embedding ramp 19, before coming to fit into the end mortises 16.
Always in the same movement, the lateral wings 33 circulate in the inter-slat space 37, and their ends gradually come into abutment against the "internal" edges 36 " a , 36" b opposite the pair of slats 36. They act then in the manner of cams that tend to spread slightly the two slats one of the other. The distance a between the ends of the wings 33 is slightly greater than the normal distance between the "internal" edges 36 " a and 36" b of the slats 36.

Le mouvement de rotation correspondant de l'élément de butée 2 est réalisé sur 90°. Lorsque ce quart de tour est terminé, l'élément de butée 2 est positionné par rapport à l'embase 1 de la manière illustrée sur les figures 17 et 18 :

  • les ergots 35 sont logés dans leur mortaise d'accueil 16 respective,
  • les ailes 33 de la tête de tenon 32 sont situées sous le corps plan 3 de l'embase 1, et elles écartent au maximum les deux lattes 36a et 36b, et
  • le retour 27 de l'élément de butée 2 est positionné transversalement à l'axe longitudinal des lattes 36, c'est-à-dire convenablement pour servir de butée au chant en regard du matelas positionné sur le sommier.
The corresponding rotational movement of the abutment element 2 is carried out at 90 °. When this quarter turn is completed, the abutment element 2 is positioned relative to the base 1 in the manner illustrated in FIGS. Figures 17 and 18 :
  • the lugs 35 are housed in their respective home mortise 16,
  • the wings 33 of the pin head 32 are located under the body surface 3 of the base 1, and they deviate maximally two slats 36 a and 36 b, and
  • the return 27 of the abutment element 2 is positioned transversely to the longitudinal axis of the slats 36, that is to say suitably to serve as abutment to the edge opposite the mattress positioned on the bed base.

L'effort d'écartement des ailes 33 sur le couple de lattes 36 est adapté pour obtenir un bon verrouillage de l'embase 1 sur ledit couple de lattes, sans solliciter la matière de manière trop importante au niveau des structures d'accrochage 8 (qui supportent les efforts d'écartement mis en oeuvre).
A ce niveau, le verrouillage de l'embase 1 est optimisé par la présence des dents « d'agrippement » 22 en appui sur les chants « externes » 36'a, 36'b des lattes 36.The spreading force of the wings 33 on the pair of slats 36 is adapted to obtain a good locking of the base 1 on said pair of slats, without stressing the material too much at the level of the attachment structures 8 ( which support the spacing efforts implemented).
At this level, the locking of the base 1 is optimized by the presence of the "gripping" teeth 22 resting on the "outer" edges 36 ' a , 36' b of the slats 36.

L'encastrement des ergots 35 dans les mortaises 16 permet d'assurer le maintien en position de l'élément de butée 2 sur l'embase 1 (en association avec les ailes 33 de la tête de tenon 32) ; mais cet encastrement reste relativement facilement amovible pour permettre de multiples désolidarisations et resolidarisations entre les deux organes 1 et 2.The fitting of the lugs 35 in the mortises 16 makes it possible to maintain the position of the abutment element 2 on the base 1 (in association with the wings 33 of the stud head 32); but this embedding remains relatively easily removable to allow multiple detachments and resolidarisations between the two members 1 and 2.

On obtient un dispositif de butée latérale qui peut être bloqué très simplement dans n'importe quelle position sur la longueur du couple de lattes supports. Tout ajustement de ce positionnement peut être réalisé très rapidement et sans effort important, ceci indépendamment du type de rotule utilisée pour supporter les lattes du sommier.A side stop device is obtained which can be very easily locked in any position along the length of the pair of support slats. Any adjustment of this positioning can be made very quickly and without significant effort, this regardless of the type of ball used to support the battens slats.

Ce type de dispositif peut être prépositionné sur le sommier, par exemple en usine, avec l'embase 1 encliquetée sur le couple de lattes supports 36, de la manière décrite ci-avant en relation avec les figures 12 à 18, et avec l'élément de butée 2 accroché sur le crochet latéral 24 de l'embase, ceci de la manière illustrée sur la figure 19.
Sur la figure 19, on remarque que cet accrochage est réalisé par l'intermédiaire de l'un des bras latéraux 30 de l'élément de butée 2 qui vient s'encliqueter entre les deux crochets 25 de la structure d'accrochage 24 de l'embase 1, adaptés et espacés en conséquence.
Dans cette position accrochée, le socle 26 de l'élément de butée 2 s'étend sensiblement dans le plan du corps d'embase 3, et le retour 27 est orienté vers le bas, dans l'épaisseur du sommier, pour limiter l'encombrement de l'ensemble.This type of device can be prepositioned on the bed base, for example at the factory, with the base 1 snapped onto the pair of support slats 36, as described above in relation to the Figures 12 to 18 , and with the stop element 2 hooked on the lateral hook 24 of the base, this in the manner illustrated on the figure 19 .
On the figure 19 it is noted that this attachment is achieved by means of one of the lateral arms 30 of the abutment element 2 which snap between the two hooks 25 of the attachment structure 24 of the base 1, adapted and spaced accordingly.
In this hooked position, the base 26 of the stop element 2 extends substantially in the plane of the base body 3, and the return 27 is oriented downwards, in the thickness of the base, to limit the overall size.

L'utilisateur recevant le sommier peut alors très simplement décrocher les éléments de butées 2 et les verrouiller convenablement sur leur embase support 1, après un éventuel réglage de positionnement de cette dernière sur les extrémités des couples de lattes.The user receiving the box spring can then very simply unhook the stop members 2 and properly lock on their support base 1, after a possible adjustment of positioning of the latter on the ends of the pairs of slats.

L'utilisation d'une matière plastique transparente permet de proposer un dispositif de butée latérale pour matelas ayant une esthétique originale, et notamment particulièrement discret. Cette particularité permet d'envisager l'apposition d'un marquage quelconque (logo, dessin, marque ...) directement sur la face externe ou interne du retour 27 de l'élément de butée 2, en créant l'illusion que ce marquage est apposé sur le côté latéral du matelas contre lequel ledit retour 27 va venir en appui.The use of a transparent plastic material makes it possible to propose a lateral abutment device for mattresses having an original aesthetic, and particularly particularly discreet. This feature makes it possible to envisage the affixing of any marking (logo, drawing, mark ...) directly on the external or internal face of the return 27 of the abutment element 2, creating the illusion that this marking is affixed to the lateral side of the mattress against which said return 27 will come to bear.
