Bed with a bed base

The invention relates to a bed with a bed base, which supports at least part of the frame parts surrounding the bed surface, such as side parts, foot part and head part.

The frame parts that enclose the bed surface of a bed are connected directly to the bed base in conventional beds. The frame parts are screwed to the bed base for this purpose, whereby the height of the frame parts© relative to the bed base is not provided. This has the disadvantage that the height of a bed that has been fully assembled in this way cannot be adjusted later. In the event of illness, however, it is often desirable for the bed surface to be set higher so that caring for a sick person is made easier. In addition, getting up is made easier for frail or sick people by having a higher bed surface.

Not only for these reasons would a height-adjustable bed surface be desirable, but the overall visual impression of the bed can also be changed by adjusting the height of the bed frame.

The invention is based on the object of creating a bed with a bed base in which the frame parts in

are adjustable in height relative to the bed base. The solution to this problem is achieved by the features specified in the main claim. The frame parts are detachably connected to the bed base via special connecting elements and can be adjusted in height. For this purpose, rows of drill holes can be provided on the inside of the frame parts, to which the front ends of the connecting elements are screwed. At the same time, support elements for the bed frames can be attached to the rows of drill holes at the desired height. This also makes it possible to arrange the support elements for the bed frames in such a way that the mattress resting on them protrudes more or less far over the edge of the bed to the desired extent.

It is particularly advantageous to set the bed box back from the frame parts so that air can flow through the gap created for sufficient ventilation.

The connecting elements are preferably made of U-shaped supports with flat iron attached to the front, whereby the U-shaped support is placed on a protruding board of the bed base and screwed to it. This measure enables a sufficiently stable connection between the bed base and the frame parts, which also does not require any complicated parts.

In a double bed version, a central beam is provided as the middle support element, the height of which can be adjusted at the ends and connected to the footboard and headboard. In this way, the horizontal position of the central beam can be adjusted to match the position of the side support elements.

Advantageous further developments are identified in the subclaims.

The invention is explained in more detail below using the drawing. It shows:

Figure 1 shows a view of a bed base with frame parts attached to it,

Figure 2 shows the top view of the
Bed frame and

Figure 3 shows a section in the area of a
connecting element.

Figure 1 shows a bed frame with a bed box 1 to which outer frame parts 2 are mounted. The frame parts
2 consist of two side parts 3, 4, a foot part 5
and a headboard 6. The frame parts 2 are connected to the bed box 1 via connecting elements 7, which can be adjusted in height. The bed box 1 thus stands on the floor, while the frame parts 2 run at the desired distance above the floor.

In the area of the connecting elements 7, support elements 8 are arranged, which together with a height-adjustable central beam 9 form the supports for the bed frames. The central beam 9 is attached to the front side to fittings 10, which for this purpose can have recesses into which a pin or screw head attached to the central beam 9 engages.

In the top view shown in Figure 2, it is particularly evident that the boards 11 of the bed box 1
are clearly set back inwards compared to the frame parts 2. This creates a gap 12 through which ventilation of the mattress (not shown here) is possible.

In Figure 3, the area 13 is shown enlarged. The connecting element 7 is shown here in a shortened form, which is indicated by broken lines 14.

The connecting element 7 consists of a U-shaped support 15, on the protruding front side of which a flat iron 16 is attached. The flat iron 16 has holes 17 through which screws (not shown here) can be inserted into corresponding holes 18. In this way, the side part 3 is screwed to the connecting element 7 at the desired height. The other end of the connecting element 7 overlaps a board 11 of the bed base 1 and is screwed to it using wing screws 19 and nuts 20. For the sake of simplicity, only one wing screw 19 with screw nut 20 is shown here.

On the inside of the side part 3, above the connecting element 7, a support element 8 is attached, which is also mounted by means of screws that engage in drill holes 18. The support element 8 can thus also be adjusted in height without great effort.

Claims (6)

Dietz Möbel GmbH & Co., 7293 Pfalzgrafenweiler 238/02 12 January 1987 Ott/kr Protection claims 1. Bed with a bed base that supports at least part of the frame parts that frame the bed surface, such as side parts, foot part and head part, characterized in that the bed base (1) is set back from the frame parts (2), that connecting elements (7) are arranged between the frame parts (2) and the bed base (1) and are detachably connected to them, and that the frame parts (2) are adjustable in height relative to the bed base (1). 2. Bed according to claim 1, characterized in that support elements (8) for the bed base(s) are fixed to the inside of frame parts (3, 4) so as to be adjustable in height. 3. Bed according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that for the height adjustment at different heights, holes (18) are provided on the frame parts (3), to which one end of the connecting elements (7) and, above each one, a support element (8) for the bed base is screwed. 4. Bed according to one of the preceding claims, characterized in that the connecting elements (7) each consist of a U-shaped support (Ic) with flat iron (16) attached to the front, and that ©in section of the U-shaped support (15) overlaps a board (11) of the bed base (1) and is screwed to it. 5.
