Mattress pad designed as a slatted frame

The invention "relates to a slatted frame Mattress topper, "in which the slats with their ends in Kiraststoffkappen attached to the frame inserted and held are.

With such a slatted frame, the aspect ratio is always around 2: 1. The slatted frame is a finished unit, which is rigid and in the trunk of a motor vehicle can only be transported if the trunk lid remains open and the slatted frame protrudes from the trunk.

It is the object of the invention to provide a mattress topper of the type mentioned in the form of a slatted frame to design that it can be disassembled as a handy package and transported and that it can be used on site but can be quickly and easily brought into the position of use.

This is achieved according to the invention in that the frame of the slatted frame is at least eastward in its longitudinal direction is divided once and thereby at least two Teuro ste are formed, which can be detachably connected to one another are. In this way, at least two partial grids can be formed, which are arranged one above the other to form a package can be packaged with an aspect ratio of around 1: 1. This package can easily be placed in the trunk of a motor vehicle be accommodated. The new mattress topper is therefore ideally suited for mail order houses and self-service shops .

According to a particularly advantageous embodiment it is provided that the frame is divided in the middle of its longitudinal spars and two identical half grids are formed. The identical half grids then only need to be packed in pairs will.

So that the partial grids still have sufficient stability, it is provided according to a development that the Frame of the partial gratings are bent as a U-shaped bracket. The brackets are bent from an upright hollow profile.

The setting up of the partial grids in the usage position is thereby particularly simple that the two brackets of the half-grids

Fixed but hingedly connected to each other via two sclio.rnd.ere are. The two half grids only need to be opened at the place of use. So that the support of the slatted frame On the bed frame or the like. Is not affected, it is provided that the hinges on the top of the free Longitudinal spar ends of the two half grids are arranged.

An embodiment of a releasable connection between the half grids is characterized in that the two half grids are connected to one another via two connecting pieces which are inserted into the inner frame of the hollow temple ends and are screwed with it. The plugged-in connection pieces bring about a stiffening of the connection points. The connecting pieces are themselves designed as hollow profile sections, the outer cross sections of which are matched to the inner cross-sections of the bracket.

The screw connection between the brackets of the half-grids and the connecting pieces is designed so that the connecting screws are inserted from the underside of the half-grids and sunk into the temple ends with their screw heads are. In this way, the support of the slatted frame on the bed frame or the like is not impaired. The assembly effort at the point of use can still be reduced by the fact that the "two connecting pieces each at one of the j half-grids are firmly attached.

According to a preferred embodiment, the bracket and dit sad Connecting pieces made of aluminum square tubing. this has the advantage that no special surface treatment is necessary for the slatted frame that is assembled in this way.

The invention is explained in more detail using a two-part mattress pad, for example.

The mattress pad, designed as a slatted frame, is composed of two identical half-slats 10 and 10 '. These half-slats 10 and 10 'have an aspect ratio of approximately 1: 1, since the composite mattress topper has an aspect ratio of about 2: 1 must have.

The half grate 10 comprises a bracket bent from aluminum square tube, the legs 11 and 13 of which are the parts of the longitudinal spars of the slatted frame, while the web 12 the Forms crossbars. On the legs 11 and 13 of the bracket the plastic caps 16 are arranged at regular intervals, which are fixed to the inner wall via the flange 17 of the bracket are connected. These plastic caps 16 take the ends of the slats 20 and hold them on the bracket. The ends 14 of the bracket legs 11 and 13 are bored 15 provided, which can be introduced vertically or horizontally.

The half grate 10 'is constructed identically. The parts 11 ', 12', I3 ¹ , 14 ', 15', 16 ', 17' and 20 'have the same punctures as the corresponding parts of the half-grate 10.

For the connection of the two half-gratings 10 and 10 ', the two connecting pieces 18, which are designed as E-ear sections and are provided with bores 19, are provided. These bores 19 are connected to the bores 15 and 15 'in the ends 14 and 14' of the bracket legs 11, 13 and 11 ', 13'. :, c. Of the

The outer cross-section of the connecting pieces Ί8 is on the inner cross-section the ends 14 and 14 'of the bracket legs 11, 13 and 11 ', 13'. The connecting pieces 18 can therefore inserted into the temple ends and screwed to them. For reasons of stability, an upright profile is preferred used.

Of course, the slatted frame can also be divided into more than two parts in the longitudinal direction. It is just then Make sure that the part is held together as a structural unit without a cross bar. This can be done in the simplest case can be achieved in that the slats are connected to the plastic caps.

If the screw connection between the half grids 10 and 10 ' used, then the screw heads are sunk in the ends of the bracket legs, so that at least the The bottom and outside of the composite slatted frame are flush. The connectors inserted in this way 18 support the connection points.

The assembly effort can be further reduced in that the connecting pieces 18 are each fixed with one end of the bracket are connected. The left connecting piece 18 can, for example, be firmly connected to the end 14 of the leg 11 of the half-grating 10 be, while the right connecting piece 18 is then firmly connected to the end 14 'of the leg 11 ". The half grids 10 and 10 'are then again constructed identically.

The two half grids 10 and 10 'can also have two hinges be firmly but hingedly connected to each other. These

Hinges are attached to the upper sides of the ends 14 and 14 'of the legs 11, 13' and 11 ', 13. For transport the two half grids 10 and 10 'only need to be folded together. The half grids are then at the place of use unfolded again.

When the plastic caps 16 over the flange 17 with locking pins or metal clips are attached to the inner wall of the bracket, then an embodiment is preferred that the connecting pieces 18 are designed as TJ profile sections are, with the open side of the inner wall of the bracket 11, 12, 13 or 11 ', 12', 13 'facing into the ends 14, 14 'of the legs 11, 13 or 11', 13 'can be inserted. the Affect connecting elements of the plastic caps 16 then the insertion of the connecting pieces 18 into the ends 14 and 14 'of the bracket is not.

A screw connection can then be dispensed with if the connecting pieces 18 are inserted into the Ends 14 and 14 'of the bracket are clamped.

The jamming can also be solved in that the connecting pieces 18 have clamping lugs on the outsides, preferably in the middle. Leave the connectors 18 as a result, about half of them are driven into the ends 14 and 14 'of the brackets of both half-gratings 10 and 10'.
