Definitions
- the invention relates to a spring base for in particular a mattress of a sleeping, sitting or lying furniture according to the preamble of claim 1.
- the underslung mentioned here is an elastic and / or resilient support for mattresses or similar upholstery of beds, berths, couches, armchairs or the like.
- the lower suspension differ essentially in their spring characteristic.
- the spring characteristic decisively influences the sleeping, lying or sitting comfort, the beds provided with such a suspension, couches, chairs or the like.
- Known spring suspensions support the mattress unevenly.
- the invention has for its object to provide a spring base for a particular mattress of a sleeping, sitting or lying furniture, which ensures improved spring characteristics and a more uniform support of the mattress.
- a suspension to solve this problem has the features of claim 1. Accordingly, it is envisaged that the spring arms are guided around the bottom and bottom of the spring strips at least some pairs of spring bars up around.
- CONFIRMATION COPY each pair of spring strips first led down and then out around the spring strips of each pair of spring strips around up to receive the mattress.
- relatively long spring arms can be created, which has a large spring travel over the spring travel largely constant spring characteristic.
- the support points of the support elements move apart with the mattress base, whereby the support of the mattress is distributed uniformly over its surface.
- at least one pair of spring strips at least one spring arm is guided upwards around each spring strip.
- a plurality, preferably two spring arms are guided around each spring strip at least some pairs of spring strips upwards. It is distributed so the spring action of the support elements homogeneous over the entire mattress surface and increases the spring action of each support member.
- the support elements each have a suspension which extends between the spring strips of a spring strip pair, preferably downwards, and the suspension in the region of the respective spring strip pair at least two spring arms are assigned.
- the suspension between the spring strips of a pair of spring strips preferably extends to below the spring strips.
- the spring arms then extend in the opposite direction transversely to the spring strips to the outside. With a suspension several spring arms can be connected to a spring strip pair simultaneously. In addition, by the suspension takes place a coupling of the spring arms to the respective suspension.
- a plurality of, preferably two support plates are assigned to an outer end of the respective spring arm.
- these associated with the ends of the respective spring arm Support plates serve as support surface for the mattress.
- the spring arms are connected to the support plates height adjustable with the suspension of the support elements.
- the spring properties of the support elements can be changed individually. For example, a selected area of the mattress can be increased by adjusting the support elements.
- To adjust the height of the support plate, which are in fixed relation to the spring arms takes place by converting the spring arms on the suspension.
- the spring arms are connected to the suspension such that the spring arms, preferably equally all spring arms of a suspension, can be connected in several positions with the suspension. These positions correspond to different heights of the support plates relative to the spring strips.
- the suspension of the support elements has at least two supports, which act from above on the pair of spring strips for fixing the support elements on the spring strips, in particular latched.
- a support is assigned for each spring bar of the respective spring bar pair.
- a further embodiment of the invention provides that the connection between the spring arms and the suspension is formed by a flexible connecting profile piece.
- This connecting profile piece is located between the at least two spring arms and the suspension.
- the connecting profile piece By the special nature of the connecting profile piece, the force acting on a spring arm, transferred in a special way to the other spring arm or on the suspension. For example, can be achieved by an appropriate choice of the connecting profile piece that the movement of the spring arms is coupled. This allows a flexible and individual design of the support elements and thus the spring characteristics of the spring base.
- the supports can be fastened to spring strips having different flexural strengths in their cross section, wherein the spring strips can be rotated along their longitudinal axis to change the spring properties of the support elements.
- the spring strips Due to a non-circular cross-sectional shape or due to a specific choice of material, the spring strips may have varying moments of resistance depending on the orientation (rotation about the longitudinal axis).
- the spring strips Depending on their relative position to the support elements or to the supports, the spring strips have different bending characteristics, whereby the support elements receive different spring properties. This allows a further individualization of the suspension behavior of the spring suspension.
- the spring strips with a non-circular cross section is assigned in each case a ring which is rotatably mounted in the suspension.
- This ring creates a connection or a transition between the non-circular cross-section of the respective spring bar and the suspension.
- a rotation of the spring bar is made possible with its associated ring with respect to the suspensions.
- the respective ring can be manually or motor driven adjustable.
- the ring associated with each spring strip can be individually rotated in at least two positions, preferably four different spring effects.
- the elasticity of all support elements of the spring strip pair can be changed alike.
- the spring characteristics of the support elements of this pair of spring strips may differ from each other. This allows individual and personal optimization of the comfort of the suspension.

- the spring base has a plurality of, preferably identically designed spring strips 10. Two spring strips 10 are each a spring strip pair 11th grouped.
- the spring base has a plurality of preferably equally trained pairs of spring strips 11.
- the individual spring strips 10 as well as the pair of female pairs 11 extend at a distance parallel to each other.
- the distance between two spring strips 10 of a spring strip pair 11 is less than the distance between two pairs of spring strips. The distance can also be the same.
- All spring strips 10 and all pairs of spring strips 11 are preferably in a common horizontal plane, but may also be partially, for example in the head area, in the lumbar region or foot area in another plane and / or inclined in the longitudinal direction of the spring base.
- the spring strips 10 and the spring strip pairs 1 are mounted with opposite ends on two parallel, not shown, longitudinal bars.
- the longitudinal bars extend in the longitudinal direction of the spring base or the mattress arranged thereon.
- the spring strips 10 and the spring strip pairs 11 extend transversely to the longitudinal beams.
- the longitudinal beams are interconnected by crossbars, not shown, so that the longitudinal members with the transverse spars form a rigid, rectangular frame, for example a bed frame.

- the two supports 17 of the support element 13 are each brought into contact with the upper side 19 of the two spring strips 10 of a spring strip pair 11. Due to the elongated curved shape of the supports 17, these fit in a form-fitting manner to the upper side 19 of the spring strips 10 of the spring strip pair 11.
- the supports 17 surround the top 19 of the spring strips 10 of the spring strip pair 11 partially.
- the attachment of the supports 17 at the top 19 is carried out either via a latching connection, a clamp connection or similar connection mechanisms.
- the two supports 17 are connected via the suspension 16, which extends between the spring strips 10 of the spring strip pair 11.
- the suspension 16 can either continue the curved shape of the two supports 17, in which the two supports 17 are joined together in a U-shape or they can be formed as a web extending between the two spring strips 10 of the spring strip pair 11 down.
- the connection between the supports 17 and the suspension 16 is such that the two supports 17 are flexibly connected to the suspension 16, preferably merge into one another.
- the spring arms 15 are also attached.
- the two spring arms 15 extending starting from the suspension 16 and the shape of the curved support 17 continuing between the two spring strips 10 of the respective spring strip pair 11 in opposite directions and transverse to the spring strips 10 under the spring strips 10 of the spring strip pair 11 around outwards; similar in form to the Greek letter ⁇ (omega).
- the two spring arms 15 have a curved shape, whereby the spring arms 15 extend from below the pair of spring strips 15 in opposite directions outwards and then upwards, so that they extend beyond the tops 19 of the spring strips 10.
- the spring arms 15 are thereby guided around the two parallel spring strips 10 from the underside of the pair of spring strips 11 in a mirror-image course outside.
- the spring arms 15 are attached to the suspension 16 so that they are flexible up and down movable.
- the two are in opposite directions extending spring arms 15 independently movable.
- the two spring arms 15 are also coupled to one another via their common suspension 16 such that their spring movements can correspond, in particular the spring movements are at least partially transmitted.
- Each of the spring arms 15 is divided or branches into two spring arm 18, which in turn extend obliquely upward from each other.
- Each spring arm 18 is integrally connected at its free end to one of the support plates 14.
- the support plates 14 at each end of the four spring arm 18 are flat plates which are aligned parallel to the plane spanned by the spring strips 10 and female pairs 11 and are at a distance above this level.
- the four support plates 14 are the same shape, but can also be designed differently.
- the spring arm 18 are attached to a longitudinal side 21 of the support plate 14. The longitudinal side 21 opposite the free longitudinal side facing the spring strip pair 11. However, the support plates 14 can also take any other orientation.
- the surfaces 22 of the individual support plates 14 are such that they can accommodate the mattress.
- the underside of the mattress enters with the surfaces 22 of the support plate 14 in contact. Thereby, the weight of the mattress is transferred to the surface 22 and thus to the support plate 14 and to the entire support member 13.
- Characterized in that four support plates 14 are assigned to the support member in the present embodiment the force acting on the individual support plate 14 weight of the mattress is reduced.
- the force acting on the surface 22 of the support plate 14 weight of the mattress is uniformly transmitted to the spring arms 15 of the support members 13.
- the spring arms 15 counteract the weight of the mattress in a resilient manner. Depending on the weight of the mattress or after loading the mattress and after relieving the mattress, the spring arms 15 move up and down.
- the support elements move back to their original position. Because the present exemplary embodiment of the support element 13 has four support plates 14, each having a spring arm part 18, the support element 13 can absorb or counteract local stresses on the mattress. The transmitted by the weight force mattress on the spring arms 15 spring force continues to be transferred to the spring strips 10 of the spring strip pair 11. This results in a light, cross-section suspension of the entire suspension, resulting in increased sleeping comfort. According to personal wishes and requirements, the support elements 13 can be moved freely on the spring strips 10 of the spring strip pair 11.
- a side view of the support member 13 is shown. So that the support elements 13 can be fixed on the spring strips 10 of the spring strip pair 11 and do not slip unintentionally along the spring strips 10, the support member 13 can be fixed at fixed positions. These fasteners serve latching means 23, which are located on the undersides 24 of the two supports 17.
- the locking means 23 are formed as hooks which extend parallel to the spring strips 10 along the support 17. For attachment of the supports 17 with the spring strips 10, the locking means 23 are brought with their counterparts, not shown, on the spring strips 10 in connection. This connection can be such that the support elements 13 are assigned to a fixed location on the spring strips 10 or remain displaceable along the spring strips 10.
- the locking means 23 prevent not only a slight slippage along the spring strips, but also a rotation of the support members 13 to the spring strips 10 of the spring strip pair 11 around.
- each spring arm 15 and the U-shaped lower part 36 of the suspension 16 each have an additional web 37.
- the spring force acting on the spring arms 15 is additionally transmitted to the U-shaped lower part 36 of the suspension 16.
- the two spring arms 15 with each other communicate, ie the spring action of a spring arm 15 is transmitted to the other spring arm 15.
- FIG. 3 shows the side view of a further exemplary embodiment of a support element 50, which is slightly modified relative to the support element 13 shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the support element 50 shown in FIG. 3 has a connecting profile piece 25 which connects the spring arms 15 to the suspension 16 and thereby gives the support element 13 special spring properties.
- the connecting profile piece 25 is integrally connected to the lower part 36 of the suspension 16 on the one hand and the two spring arms 15 joining together.
- the spring arms 15 and the suspension 16 form a shape that is similar to that of the inverted capital letter "T".
- the connecting profile piece 25 acquires special spring properties.
- the spring arms 15 act together resiliently. In a one-sided load of the support member 50 by a single spring arm 15, this burden on the connection profile piece 25 on the other arm 15 acts.
- this connecting profile piece 25 thus the spring effects of the two spring arms 15 are coupled together.
- embodiments of the connecting profile piece 25 are conceivable, which counteract a coupling of the two spring arms 5.
- the spring action of the entire support member 50 can be preset. It is conceivable, for example, that the support elements 50 in the head, foot or lumbar region have different connection profile pieces 25, since these areas have a different load.
