Definitions
- the present invention regards a bed having an articulated mechanism.
- the mechanism allows to lift a net, or in general terms a support plane for a mattress, to a certain height from ground and/or with respect to a containment frame.
- Mechanisms are known to raise the net or the slats of a bed in order to consent the comfortable access to the space below for the normal domestic cleansing.
- beds are known having a containment chest/frame over which the net can be raised in order to take advantage of the inner space of the chest as normal store-room.
- the gas springs compensate enough the weight of the net to be lifted, but not entirely, so a certain effort remains.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention regards a bed having an articulated mechanism. The mechanism allows to lift a net, or in general terms a support plane for a mattress, to a certain height from ground and/or with respect to a containment frame.
- Mechanisms are known to raise the net or the slats of a bed in order to consent the comfortable access to the space below for the normal domestic cleansing. Also, beds are known having a containment chest/frame over which the net can be raised in order to take advantage of the inner space of the chest as normal store-room.
- Clearly a lifting mechanism being not only simple to produce (low costs) but also little hard to operate is necessary. The net or the slats are manually lifted, and to reduce the effort needed usually the mechanism is endowed with variedly arranged gas or helical springs that servo-assist the lifting movement.
- In every case, however, some disadvantages stay.
- The gas springs compensate enough the weight of the net to be lifted, but not entirely, so a certain effort remains. Besides, for the manual driving the user must perforce stoop a lot to grab the net. It is understood that for elderly users or disabled persons the demanded operation is almost impossible or however to be avoided.
- Other beds with lifting mechanisms are known.

JP 10 023944 US 2005/251915 disclose, as the pre-characterizing portion of Claim 1, a bed with two substantially parallel segments each hinged at an extremity thereof to a side of a frame and at the other extremity to a support plane. They also have only one linear actuator that is hinged to the frame and has a movable part hinged to one of the two segments so as to be able to lift the support plane. -
DE 8910487 U1 discloses a bed with two substantially parallel segments, one end of which is hinged to a frame, while the other end is slidable by means of rollers on a support plane. A vertical motion of the support is assured thanks to auxiliary segments which are hinged between the support plane and said segments. A first actuator is capable of lifting the support. A second actuator varies the inclination of the support plane by varying the length of a connecting rod, which by modifying the inclination of the segments accomplishes the support's tilting. -
FR 2 757 756 - The present invention has the principal object to present a mechanism of this type that solves the before-mentioned-problems.
- This and other objects are obtained by the bed as claimed in claim 1.
- The advantages of the invention will be clearer from the following description of a preferred embodiment, illustrated in the attached drawings where:
-
fig. 1 shows an axonometric view of a bed of the invention; -
fig. 2 shows a cross-section side view of the mechanim of the bed offig. 1 in a first position; -
fig. 3 shows a cross-section side view of the mechanism of the bed offig. 1 in a second position; -
fig. 4 shows a cross-section side view of the mechanism of the bed offig. 1 in a third position; -
fig. 5 shows a cross-section side view of the mechanism of the bed offig. 1 in a fourth optional position. - In
fig. 1 a rectangular-plan frame 10 is shown to whose inside the mechanism is mounted on. Theframe 10 is a kind of big chest that can serve for containing objects in a compartment VN under a net orsupport plane 12, once thenet 12 is placed in a lowered rest position (fig. 2 ). The components of the mechanism described below may be mounted on both sides of the bed, or, for a lower cost variant, only on one. The side not equipped may mount a known passive servomechanism, a spring-operated one. - The mechanism is composed of two
articulated segments angular bracket 22, and to aplate 14 fixed inside theframe 10. - The
segment 16 is preferably constituted by a linear actuator, having a linearly movable piston 30 (but such segment could be for instance a telescopic sleeve operated externally). Thesegment 18 is constituted instead by a rigid metallic bar. - As a whole, the
segments - On the
bar 18 there is hinged themovable piston 40 of a secondlinear actuator 20, which is hinged on theplate 14. - The segment or
actuator 16 is set about in the middle of the side of theframe 10, while thebar 18 is arranged beside it and is placed closer to the back of the frame. Between thebar 18 and the back of theframe 10 there is arranged theactuator 20. - The mechanism operates with the following configurations and operational phases:
- I) With the net in lowered position (
fig. 2 ), the said segments are lowered maximally on theframe 10. Thepistons actuators - II) The net 12 can then be brought in lifted position of bed-remaking (
fig. 3 ), in which it is parallel to theframe 10 and to the ground. Theactuator 20 is operated and itspiston 40 lengthens, so as to push thebar 18 which therefore lifts pushing upwards the net 12 (arrow A). During and at the end of the displacement, thenet 12 is nearly horizontal thanks to the to parallelogram structure of thesegments - III) From the preceding position the
net 12 can be lifted further, to bring it in a position of easy access for the user U to the compartment VN, seefig. 4 . Theactuator 16 is operated, whosepiston 30 is pushed to the outside and makes to rotate the net 12 (arrow B) on thebar 18. All the other members may stay still, or a contemporaneous withdrawal of thebar 18 may be coordinated through the actuator 20 (as infig. 3 ) to make to lower the back of thenet 12 and to gain a great inclination for thesame net 12. In fact, the inclination of thenet 12 being equal, it would take a longer piston for the actuator 16 (and therefore a greater cost and encumbrance). Besides, the whole mechanism moves away from the user U, disappearing more inside theframe 10 and leaving more space to work in the compartment VN. This synchronism between the twoactuators - To bring the net 12 to the original state, the sequence of positions is run backwards (from III to I).
- An improvement of the invention consists in an optional position of the
net 12 in the sequence of lifting/lowering from I to II. For nets or slats being very thick and/or very deeply boxed in theframe 10, the lifting movement alone produced by theactuator 20 might not be able to extract them enough from theframe 10. It is possible that the net 12, above all itsextremity part 12s that must climb over the anterior edge of the frame 10 (see reference 50), could bump against it and/or doesn't succeed in going beyond the step of the seat in theframe 10 it is housed in. To solve the drawback, before or contemporarily activating theactuator 20 to pass to the phase II, theactuator 16 is also operated (seefig. 5 ) to slightly tilt thenet 12 in respect to a horizontal plane (see movement pointed out by the arrow S). Theextremity 12s of the net 12 therefore lifts enough above theedge 50 to avoid its opposition. - In the described example and in all the possible variants of the invention the mechanism may advantageously include an electronic unit to control and/or to program the driving of the actuators, e.g. a microprocessor system. Said unit is used for driving the actuators with a planned sequence of phases, e.g. the described ones.
- To facilitate the control of the mechanism, it may include a vocal recognition device adapted to recognize vocal commands of a user and to translate them in control instructions for the electronic unit and then for the actuators.
- Preferably, a memory element is provided in which program instructions and/or operational parameters (e.g. response times, timings, motion speeds, etc) for and/or of one or every actuator are stored.
- Preferably, there is arranged a control apparatus adapted to send electronic commands inputted by a user to the unit, to ease the man-machine interaction. Such apparatus may comprise wireless transmission means (e.g. infrared transmission means) to communicate data and/or instructions to the electronic unit, and/or the control apparatus may be a keyboard-module housed in a part of the bed or in a wall.
