Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Federelement für eine Untermatratze mit in der Liegefläche angeordneten Einzelstützelementen anstelle von Federleisten, mit einer Basis, einer von der Basis beabstandeten Stützfläche und einem zwischen Basis und Stützfläche angeordneten Federkörper.The present invention relates to a spring element for a lower mattress with arranged in the lying surface support elements instead of spring strips, with a base, a base spaced from the support surface and arranged between the base and support surface spring body.

Derartige Federelemente werden beispielsweise als Teil einer Untermatratze mit einer Vielzahl von über mindestens einen Teil der Untermatratze verteilt angeordneten, voneinander unabhängigen derartigen Federelementen zur Abstützung einer Obermatratze eingesetzt. In Untermatratzen ersetzen sie in den entsprechenden Bereichen die herkömmlichen Federleisten und bringen den Vorteil einer praktisch quasi-punktelastischen Abstützung mit sich.Such spring elements are used for example as part of a lower mattress with a plurality of distributed over at least a portion of the lower mattress, independent of such spring elements used to support a mattress top. In sub-mattresses they replace the conventional spring strips in the corresponding areas and bring the advantage of a virtually quasi-point-elastic support with it.

Eine gute punktelastische Abstützung kann auch mit Wasserbetten erreicht werden. Diese haben aber unter anderem den Nachteil einer schlechten Belüftung.A good point-elastic support can also be achieved with waterbeds. These, however, have the disadvantage of poor ventilation, among other things.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Abstützeigenschaften der bekannten Federelemente zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to improve the support properties of the known spring elements.

Diese Aufgabe wird dadurch gelöst, dass die Stützfläche mindestens zwei Teile umfasst, die derart über mindestens ein an der Basis um eine in einer zur Basis parallelen Ebene gelegene Achse verkippbar gelagertes Wippenelement miteinander verbunden sind, dass bei Einfedern eines Teils der Stützfläche in Richtung auf die Basis der andere Teil der Stützfläche von der Basis wegbewegt wird und umgekehrt.This object is achieved in that the support surface comprises at least two parts which are connected to each other via at least one rocker element tiltably mounted on the base about an axis located in a plane parallel to the base, that upon compression of a Part of the support surface in the direction of the base of the other part of the support surface is moved away from the base and vice versa.

Durch das Vorsehen eines Wippenelements zur Abstützung von zwei oder mehr Teilen der Stützfläche ergibt sich eine noch bessere punktelastische Abstützung, insbesondere eine noch bessere Nachbildung der Körperkontur einer auf der Matratze oder Untermatratze liegenden Person. Durch das Wippenelement kann nämlich erreicht werden, dass sich bei Belastung eines Teils der Stützfläche dieser Teil absenkt und ein anderer Teil zugleich angehoben wird. Die Gesamtauslenkung zwischen abgesenktem und angehobenem Teil ist dadurch entsprechend erhöht. Dies hat auch den Vorteil, dass bei geringer Bauhöhe eine hohe Auslenkung erreicht werden kann. Durch die Wippenfunktion ergibt sich außerdem ein interaktiver Ausgleich ähnlich wie bei einem Wasserbett, also ein optimaler Körperkonturausgleich, wobei jedoch eine gute Belüftung möglich ist. Die Stützfunktion ergibt sich also nicht nur durch die federnde Wirkung des Federelements sondern auch durch die Querverteilung der aufgenommenen Kräfte. Durch die mögliche Verringerung der Bauhöhe können außerdem Kosten und Gewicht eingespart werden.By providing a rocker element for supporting two or more parts of the support surface results in an even better point-elastic support, in particular an even better replica of the body contour of a person lying on the mattress or mattress. In fact, it can be achieved by the rocker element that, when a part of the support surface is loaded, this part is lowered and another part is raised at the same time. The total deflection between the lowered and raised part is thereby increased accordingly. This also has the advantage that at low height, a high deflection can be achieved. The rocker function also results in an interactive compensation similar to a waterbed, so an optimal body contour compensation, but good ventilation is possible. The support function thus results not only by the resilient action of the spring element but also by the transverse distribution of the absorbed forces. The possible reduction in height can also save costs and weight.

Bei Ausgestaltung des Federelements derart, dass das Wippenelement um genau eine Achse verkippbar ist, ergibt sich eine einfache Wippfunktion. Darüber hinaus ist es möglich, Wippenelement um zwei zueinander senkrechte, in einer zur Basis parallelen Ebene gelegene Achsen verkippbar auszugestalten, oder um jede beliebige in einer solchen Ebene gelegene Achse. Dadurch ergibt sich entweder eine zweifache Wippenfunktion oder eine Vielfachwippenfunktion. Damit kann eine noch bessere Körperkonturanpassung erreicht werden.In the embodiment of the spring element such that the rocker element can be tilted by exactly one axis, the result is a simple rocking function. Moreover, it is possible to make rocker element tiltable about two mutually perpendicular axes located in a plane parallel to the base, or about any axis located in such a plane. This results in either a double rocker function or a multiple rocker function. Thus, an even better body contour adjustment can be achieved.

Sowohl die Verbindungen zwischen dem Wippenelement und der Basis, dem Wippenelement und einem Teil der Stützfläche als auch die Wippenelemente selbst können elastisch ausgebildet sein. Damit kann eine optimale Einstellung der Federfunktion und der Kräfteverteilung erreicht werden. Durch die Verkippbarkeit der Teile der Stützfläche gegenüber den Wippenelementen kann außerdem erreicht werden, dass die Teile der Stützfläche in einer Ebene bleiben, wenn die Federelemente einfedern. Es ist aber auch eine Verkippung der Teile der Stützfläche gegenüber der Liegefläche möglich. Das erfindungsgemäße Federelement kann grundsätzlich auch als Kern für Federkernmatratzen eingesetzt werden.Both the connections between the rocker element and the base, the rocker element and a part of the support surface and the rocker elements themselves can be designed to be elastic. Thus, an optimal adjustment of the spring function and the distribution of forces can be achieved. Due to the tiltability of the parts of the support surface relative to the rocker elements can also be achieved that the parts of the support surface remain in a plane when the spring elements compress. But it is also possible to tilt the parts of the support surface relative to the lying surface. The spring element according to the invention can in principle also be used as a core for spring mattresses.

Weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.Further advantageous embodiments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims.

Das in den Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellte Federelement umfasst eine Basis 1, ein daran angeordnetes Wippenelement 2 und zwei Teile 31 und 32, die gemeinsam eine Stützfläche 3 des Federelements bilden. Das Wippenelement 2 umfasst zwei Streben 4, 5, die auf je einer Seite der Basis 1 angeordnet und mit dieser über je eine Verbindungsstrebe 6, 7 verbunden sind. Das gesamte Federelement ist einstückig aus Kunststoff hergestellt, insbesondere durch Spritzgießen. Das heißt, die Teile 31 und 32 der Stützfläche 3 sind an die Enden 8, 9 der Streben 4, 5 angeformt.That in the Fig. 1 to 4 spring element shown comprises a base 1, a rocker element 2 arranged thereon and two parts 3 1 and 3 2 , which together form a support surface 3 of the spring element. The rocker element 2 comprises two struts 4, 5, which are arranged on each side of the base 1 and connected thereto via a respective connecting strut 6, 7. The entire spring element is made in one piece from plastic, in particular by injection molding. That is, the parts 3 1 and 3 2 of the support surface 3 are integrally formed on the ends 8, 9 of the struts 4, 5.

Die Streben 4, 5 des Wippenelements 2 sind in sich biegeelastisch, jedoch torsionssteif ausgebildet und bilden dadurch einen Federkörper. Die Verbindungsstreben 6, 7 sind torsionselastisch ausgebildet und ermöglichen dadurch ein Verkippen des Wippenelements 2 um die durch die Verbindungsstreben 6, 7 gehende gemeinsame, in der Ebene der Basis 1 gelegene Achse I. Auch die Verbindung zwischen den Enden 8, 9 der Streben 4, 5 des Wippenelements mit den beiden Teilen 31 und 32 der Stützfläche 3 ist torisionselastisch ausgebildet, so dass die Teile 31 und 32 der Stützfläche 3 gegenüber dem Wippenelement 2 verkippbar sind. Durch entsprechende Wahl der jeweiligen Elastizitäten kann das elastische Verhalten des Federelements in gewünschter Weise eingestellt werden. Insbesondere kann das Verhältnis der Wippenfunktion zur Federelastizität des Federelements gewählt werden.The struts 4, 5 of the rocker element 2 are resilient in bending, but torsionally formed and thereby form a spring body. The connecting struts 6, 7 are torsionally elastic and thereby allow tilting of the rocker element 2 about the common by the connecting struts 6, 7 common, located in the plane of the base 1 axis I. Also the connection between the ends 8, 9 of the struts 4, 5 of the rocker element with the two parts 3 1 and 3 2 of the support surface 3 is formed torisionselastisch, so that the parts 3 1 and 3 2 of the support surface 3 against the rocker element 2 are tilted. By appropriate choice of the respective elasticities, the elastic behavior of the spring element can be adjusted in the desired manner. In particular, the ratio of the rocker function to the spring elasticity of the spring element can be selected.

Bei Belastung beider Teile 31 und 32 der Stützfläche 3 in Richtung des Pfeils II wirkt das Federelement im Wesentlichen als herkömmliches Federelement, indem die Stützfläche 3 gegenüber der Basis 1 einfedert und sich beide Teile 31 und 32 der Stützfläche 3 absenken sowie nach Entlastung wieder anheben. Dabei verkippen die Teile 31 und 32 der Stützfläche 3 gegenüber dem Wippenelement 2, so dass die Stützfläche 3 insgesamt parallel zur Basis 1 bleibt. Wird dagegen nur ein Teil 31 oder 32 der Stützfläche 3 belastet, so verkippt das Wippenelement 2 entsprechend um die Achse I, so dass sich der belastete Teil 31 oder 32 der Stützfläche 3 absenkt, während sich der andere Teil entsprechend anhebt. Zugleich verformt sich auch in diesem Fall das Wippenelement 2 aufgrund seiner Elastizität, so dass zu der elastischen Kippbewegung eine elastische Verbiegung hinzukommt. Schließlich verkippen auch in diesem Fall die beiden Teile 31 und 32 relativ zum Wippenelement 2, so dass die Stützfläche 3 insgesamt wieder parallel zur Basis 1 bleibt.When loading both parts 3 1 and 3 2 of the support surface 3 in the direction of arrow II, the spring element acts essentially as a conventional spring element by the support surface 3 springs against the base 1 and both parts 3 1 and 3 2 of the support surface 3 lower and after discharge lift again. In the process, the parts 3 1 and 3 2 of the support surface 3 tilt relative to the rocker element 2, so that the support surface 3 remains generally parallel to the base 1. If, on the other hand, only part 3 1 or 3 2 of the support surface 3 is loaded, the rocker element 2 will tilt correspondingly about the axis I, so that the loaded part 3 1 or 3 2 of the support surface 3 lowers, while the other part raises accordingly. At the same time, the rocker element 2 also deforms in this case due to its elasticity, so that an elastic bending is added to the elastic tilting movement. Finally, in this case too, the two parts 3 1 and 3 2 tilt relative to the rocker element 2, so that the support surface 3 as a whole remains parallel to the base 1 again.

Die Fig. 5 und 6 zeigen, wie das in den Fig. 1 bis 4 dargestellte Federelement auf einer Latte 10 angeordnet werden kann, nämlich insbesondere längs oder quer. Damit können unterschiedliche Eigenschaften einer Liegefläche, je nach Bedarf, realisiert werden. Zudem zeigen die Fig. 5 und 6, das die Federelemente von Fig. 1 bis 4 mit Deckplatten 11 versehen werden können. Die Deckplatten 11 sind mit den Teilen 31 und 32 der Stützfläche 3 insbesondere lösbar verbindbar, beispielsweise durch eine Schnapp-Rast-Verbindung oder eine Bajonettverbindung. In entsprechender Weise kann die Basis 1 lösbar mit der Latte 10 verbindbar sein, wobei die bevorzugt angeformten Bajonettverbindungselemente 25 an den Stützflächenteilen 31, 32 zu den Bajonettverbindungselementen 26 an der Basis 1 komplementär ausgebildet sind. Die Deckplatten 11 können grundsätzlich aber auch an das Federelement angeformt werden bzw. die Teile 31 und 32 der Stützfläche 3 können selbst als Deckplatten ausgebildet sein. Fig. 6 zeigt außerdem noch verschiedene Kipp- und Wippstellungen der Federelemente.The Fig. 5 and 6 show how that in the Fig. 1 to 4 illustrated spring element can be arranged on a bar 10, namely in particular longitudinal or transverse. This allows different properties of a lying surface, as needed, to be realized. In addition, the show Fig. 5 and 6 that the spring elements of Fig. 1 to 4 can be provided with cover plates 11. The cover plates 11 are in particular detachably connectable to the parts 3 1 and 3 2 of the support surface 3, for example by a snap-lock connection or a bayonet connection. In a corresponding manner, the base 1 can be releasably connected to the bar 10, wherein the preferably molded bayonet connection elements 25 are formed on the support surface parts 3 1 , 3 2 to the bayonet connection elements 26 on the base 1 complementary. In principle, however, the cover plates 11 can also be molded onto the spring element or the parts 3 1 and 3 2 of the support surface 3 can themselves be designed as cover plates. Fig. 6 also shows various tilting and rocking positions of the spring elements.

Das in den Fig. 7 bis 9 dargestellte Federelement umfasst wieder eine Basis 1, die hier als Stab ausgebildet ist, sowie mehrere Wippenelemente 2, die jeweils strebenartig ausgebildet sind und in der Mitte eine Durchtrittsöffnung 12 aufweisen, durch welche der die Basis 1 bildende Stab hindurchgeführt ist. An ihren Enden 8, 9 tragen die Wippenelemente 2 jeweils angeformte Stützflächen 31 und 32, die jeweils sechs runde Platten 13 umfassen, von denen jeweils drei auf einer Strebe 14 angeordnet sind. Die beiden Streben 14 verlaufen zueinander parallel und sind über eine Querstrebe 15 miteinander verbunden. Die Querstrebe 15 ist wiederum mit dem zugehörigen Ende 8, 9 der Wippe 2 verbunden. Auch dieses Federelement besteht aus Kunststoff und ist bevorzugt spritzgießgeformt. Die Verbindungen zwischen den Stützflächen 31 und 32 einerseits und dem Wippenelement 2 andererseits und das Wippenelement 2 selbst sind wieder elastisch ausgebildet. Auch die Basis 1 kann in sich elastisch oder aber starr ausgebildet sein. Falls die Basis 1 starr ist, kann zwischen dieser und dem Wippenelement 2 ein elastisches Element zwischengeschaltet sein.That in the Fig. 7 to 9 spring element shown again comprises a base 1, which is designed here as a rod, and a plurality of rocker elements 2, which are each strut-like and in the middle have a passage opening 12 through which the base 1 forming rod is passed. At their ends 8, 9 bear the rocker elements 2 each formed support surfaces 3 1 and 3 2 , each comprising six round plates 13, of which three are each arranged on a strut 14. The two struts 14 extend parallel to one another and are connected to one another via a transverse strut 15. The cross strut 15 is in turn connected to the associated end 8, 9 of the rocker 2. This spring element is also made of plastic and is preferably injection-molded. The connections between the support surfaces 3 1 and 3 2 on the one hand and the rocker element 2 on the other hand and the rocker element 2 itself are again formed elastically. The base 1 may be elastic or rigid in itself. If the base 1 is rigid, an elastic element can be interposed between it and the rocker element 2.

Das in den Fig. 7 bis 9 dargestellte Federelement ist bevorzugt in Federkernmatratzen einsetzbar, wie dies in Fig. 9 gezeigt ist. Die Einfederung bei Belastung einer solchen Matratze ist in Fig. 8 dargestellt.That in the Fig. 7 to 9 shown spring element is preferably used in spring mattresses, as in Fig. 9 is shown. The deflection under load of such a mattress is in Fig. 8 shown.

Das in Fig. 10 dargestellte Federelement umfasst wiederum eine Basis 1 und ein Wippenelement 2 sowie vier Teile 31 bis 34 einer Stützfläche 3. Das Wippenelement 2 umfasst hier vier bei der Basis 1 zusammenlaufende Streben 16, die mit der Basis 1 über eine Art Kugelgelenk 17 elastisch verbunden sind. Zudem sind die vier Streben 16 über einen Verbindungsring 18 miteinander verbunden. Die an den anderen Enden 19 der Streben 16 angeordneten Stützflächenteile 31 bis 34 umfassen jeweils zwei konzentrisch angeordnete Ringelemente 20, 21, die in dem gabelförmig ausgebildeten Ende 19 der Streben 16 kardanisch gelagert sind. Hierfür sind zwischen dem gabelförmigen Ende 19 der Streben 16 und dem äußeren Ring 20 sowie zwischen dem äußeren Ring 20 und dem inneren Ring 21 jeweils zwei Verbindungsstreben 22, 23 vorgesehen. Auf die Stützflächenteile 31 bis 34 sind Deckplatten 24 lösbar aufsetzbar.This in Fig. 10 shown spring element in turn comprises a base 1 and a rocker element 2 and four parts 3 1 to 3 4 a support surface 3. The rocker element 2 comprises four converging at the base 1 struts 16 which are elastically connected to the base 1 via a kind of ball joint 17 , In addition, the four struts 16 are connected to each other via a connecting ring 18. The arranged at the other ends 19 of the struts 16 support surface parts 3 1 to 3 4 each comprise two concentrically arranged ring elements 20, 21, which in the fork-shaped trained end 19 of the struts 16 are gimbaled. For this purpose, between the fork-shaped end 19 of the struts 16 and the outer ring 20 and between the outer ring 20 and the inner ring 21 in each case two connecting struts 22, 23 are provided. On the support surface parts 3 1 to 3 4 cover plates 24 are releasably placed.

Das Federelement ist wiederum aus Kunststoff bevorzugt im Spritzgießverfahren hergestellt. Alle genannten Verbindungen sind elastisch ausgebildet. Zudem sind die Streben 16 des Wippenelements 2 und der Verbindungsring 18 in sich elastisch ausgebildet. Die Stützflächenteile 31 bis 34 können somit jeweils unabhängig voneinander einfedern, wobei die anderen Stützflächenteile 31 bis 34 entsprechend verkippt und angehoben werden. Durch die kardanische Lagerung der Stützflächenteile 31 bis 34 können diese zur Basis 1 parallel verbleiben. Somit ist eine Verkippung um jede in der Ebene der Basis 1 gelegene Achse möglich.The spring element is in turn made of plastic, preferably by injection molding. All these compounds are elastic. In addition, the struts 16 of the rocker element 2 and the connecting ring 18 are formed in elastic. The support surface parts 3 1 to 3 4 can thus each independently spring, wherein the other support surface parts 3 1 to 3 4 are tilted and raised accordingly. Due to the gimbal bearing of the support surface parts 3 1 to 3 4 , these may remain parallel to the base 1. Thus, tilting about each axis located in the plane of the base 1 is possible.

Das in den Fig. 11 bis 13 dargestellte Federelement ist ähnlich aufgebaut wie das Federelement von Fig. 10. Das Federelement ist jedoch zweiseitig. Das heißt, auf beiden Seiten der Basis 1 ist ein Wippenelement 2 sowie eine aus vier Teilen 31 bis 34 gebildete Stützfläche 3 entsprechend Fig. 10 vorgesehen. An allen Stützflächenteilen 31 bis 34 ist wiederum eine Deckplatte 24 lösbar befestigbar. Ein solches Federelement ist bevorzugt wiederum in einer Federkernmatratze einsetzbar.That in the Fig. 11 to 13 spring element shown is similar in construction as the spring element of Fig. 10 , The spring element is, however, two-sided. That is, on both sides of the base 1 is a rocker element 2 and a four parts 3 1 to 3 4 formed support surface 3 accordingly Fig. 10 intended. On all support surface parts 3 1 to 3 4 , in turn, a cover plate 24 is detachably fastened. Such a spring element is preferably used in turn in a spring mattress.

Das in Fig. 14 dargestellte Federelement baut auf dem Federelement der Fig. 1 bis 4 auf. Zusätzlich zu dem dort dargestellten Federelement bilden die beiden Teile 31 und 32 der Stützfläche 3 selbst wiederum die Basis 1' für jeweils ein weiteres Wippenelement 2'. Diese weiteren Wippenelemente 2' sind in Übereinstimmung mit dem Wippenelement 2 ausgebildet und an ihren Enden mit Teilen 31' und 32' einer Stützfläche 3' versehen. Auf diesen Teilen 31' und 32' der Stützfläche 3' sind Deckplatten 11 entsprechend den Fig. 5 und 6 lösbar befestigbar.This in Fig. 14 illustrated spring element is based on the spring element of Fig. 1 to 4 on. In addition to the spring element shown there, the two parts 3 1 and 3 2 of the support surface 3 itself turn the base 1 'for each another rocker element 2'. These further rocker elements 2 'are formed in accordance with the rocker element 2 and provided at their ends with parts 3 1 ' and 3 2 'of a support surface 3'. On this Divide 3 1 'and 3 2 ' of the support surface 3 'are cover plates 11 according to the Fig. 5 and 6 releasably attachable.

Bei diesem Federelement ergibt sich eine doppelte Wippenfunktion um zwei zueinander senkrechte Achsen I und I'. Damit können zusätzliche Einfederungs- und Verkippmöglichkeiten geschaffen werden, um eine noch bessere Anpassung an eine Körperkontur zu ermöglichen.In this spring element results in a double rocker function about two mutually perpendicular axes I and I '. This additional Einfederungs- and Verkippmöglichkeiten be created to allow even better adaptation to a body contour.

Eine mehrstufige Wippenfunktion weist auch das in den Fig. 15 und 16 dargestellte Federelement auf, welches auf den Federelementen der Fig. 10 bis 13 aufbaut; und zwar bilden die Stützflächenteile 31 bis 34 auf einer Seite des zweiseitigen Federelements wiederum ihrerseits die Basis 1' für ein weiteres Federelement mit Wippenelement 2' entsprechend dem Wippenelement 2 der Fig. 10 bis 13. Jedes dieser weiteren Wippenelemente 2' ist um jede beliebige Achse in der Ebene der zugehörigen Basis 1' verkippbar, so dass sich eine Vielzahl weiterer Wipp- und Verkippmöglichkeiten ergibt. Auch dieses Federelement besteht bevorzugt aus spritzgießgeformtem Kunststoff, wobei alle Verbindungen und die Wippenelementen 2, 2' elastisch ausgebildet sein können. Die Deckplatten 24 sind jeweils wieder bevorzugt lösbar mit den Stützflächenteilen 31' bis 316' verbindbar.A multi-level rocker function also has that in the Fig. 15 and 16 shown spring element, which on the spring elements of Fig. 10 to 13 builds; and that form the support surface parts 3 1 to 3 4 on one side of the two-sided spring element turn turn the base 1 'for another spring element with rocker element 2' according to the rocker element 2 of Fig. 10 to 13 , Each of these further rocker elements 2 'is tiltable about any axis in the plane of the associated base 1', so that there is a large number of further rocking and tilting possibilities. This spring element is preferably made of injection-molded plastic, wherein all compounds and the rocker elements 2, 2 'may be formed elastically. The cover plates 24 are in each case preferably detachably connectable to the support surface parts 3 1 'to 3 16 '.
