Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bed base with articulated slats, at their ends, in a support frame, in which the support frame is embedded in a sheath of elastic material, molded, and the ends of the slats are themselves embedded in the elastic material filling the inside of the frame.
  • upholsterers shaped, at the top, in a bowl arranged to receive a mattress and prevent it from sliding.
  • slatted bed bases mounted on a frame, or a box, but whose articulated ends have two degrees of freedom, one in the vertical direction, and one around the longitudinal axis of the slats, so that these bed bases, as well that their mattresses, can as harmoniously as possible marry the body of the people they receive, by adapting to the pressures exerted by the different parts of the body, and thus ensuring perfect relaxation.
  • Document DE-A-2 254 986 discloses a box spring of the type defined above. But in this box spring, the sheath, the thickness of which is very small, does not surround the support frame enough to complete the support function of the frame and to be shaped like a bowl.
  • the present invention therefore aims to improve the bed base of document DE-A-2 254 986 and to propose a "bowl" bed base with slats.
  • the present invention relates to a box spring of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the sheath has an upper surface inclined upwards, from the inside to the outside, giving the sheath the shape of a bowl. , by the fact that the sheath is wrapped in a lining fabric and by the fact that at least the long sides of the frame are discontinuous and include elements nested one inside the other.
  • the bed base has a bowl shape and the ends of the slats, anchored in the elastic material, retain their two degrees of freedom mentioned above.
  • the bed base of the invention therefore simultaneously has the advantages of bed base with slatted base.
  • the manufacture of the bed base can be carried out in good conditions, the length of the bed base can be adapted to the user and the comfort thereof can be improved. .
  • the support frame of the bed base of the invention is mounted on a support and it comprises elastic return means in the rest position of the ends of the slats, reinforcing the action of the elastic material.
  • the bed base of the invention of FIG. 1 comprises a support frame 1, of generally rectangular shape. Can be made of wood, it can also be made of other materials and preferably metal, or plastic. At least the longitudinal uprights, or long sides, of the frame are hollow to receive the ends 2 of slats 3, as described below. More specifically, these long sections each comprise a plurality of elementary frame portions 50 fitted into each other, and mounted on a support, as described below. Each unitary element 50 of these panels contains a leaf spring for one end of the batten, also described below, or any other equivalent elastic means. These elements 50 are associated together in pairs, here by pairs of male 51 _ female 52 members respectively secured to adjacent transverse walls 53, 54 of two neighboring elements 50 thus in the form of a box.
  • these elements 50 have substantially the shape of a U, the inner vertical branch 4 of the U being substantially longer than the outer branch 5.
  • An opening 6 for receiving a slat end 2 is formed in the inner vertical branch 4, the respective elements 50 of the two long sides of the frame being two by two facing each other. These are rectangular openings, of length very slightly greater than the width of the slats 3, and of width allowing the vertical and rotating travel of the ends of the slat.
  • the frame 1 is mounted on a support 7, which in this case is also an inverted U-shaped section profile.
  • the frame projects from the vertical branches of the support.
  • the frame 1 and the support 7 are fixed to each other by their bottoms, that of the support 7 being provided with screw passage holes 8 and that 12 of the unitary elements 50 of the frame 1, of threaded bosses 9 of receiving the screws 8.
  • the screws 8 were introduced through the lower opening 10 formed between the branches of the support 7.
  • Each boss 9 of the bottom 12 of the elements 50 of the frame 1 receives a leaf spring, here with two separate branches 13, 14, each provided with an end 15 shaped to cooperate with the boss and slide along it and d another end 16 fixed to the bottom.
  • the end 15 of each blade branch could be folded down towards the bottom in a free tongue 17 and substantially matching the external wall of the associated boss 9. It would also have been possible to use a monobloc blade, provided with a central hole for passage of the boss 9.
  • the end 2 In the rest position, and in particular under the action of the branches 13, 14 of the leaf spring, which is added to the action of the elastic material which will be discussed below, and one end of the batten 2 having been introduced. through the opening 6 in the frame 1, the end 2 is biased upwards, in abutment against the upper wall 18 of the opening 6 (fig. 1, 3). In this position, the tongues 17 may not cooperate with the boss 9 and be located above it, as is also the case in the example shown in the drawings.
  • the end of the slat can either be lowered vertically in the opening 6, or pivot around its longitudinal axis 19, or be trained in these two vertical and rotational movements, so that the slats 3 of the bed base, as a whole, adapt as harmoniously as possible to the body of the person.
  • the slat considered at its end 2 pivoted about its axis 19 the branch 13 of the leaf spring then being under stress, with its tongue 17 lowered against the boss 9 to the bottom 12 of the frame.
  • the branch 14 of the leaf spring also under stress, but much less than the other, is only very slightly lowered, by its tongue 17, only halfway up the boss 9.
  • the frame 1 is embedded in a sheath, or fairing, made of molded elastic synthetic material, the same material also filling the inside of the frame, between the branches and the bottom of the profile of the unitary elements.
  • this elastic material preferably a polyurethane foam
  • the ends of the slat 2, which are articulated there, are returned to the rest position against the upper wall 18 of the openings 6, this material leaving the ends of the slat their two degrees of freedom. It is the return action of this elastic material which is reinforced by that of the leaf spring 13, 14.
  • this elastic material allows the slat end to be anchored in the frame of the bed base.
  • the fairing 20 of generally trapezoidal shape, has an upper surface 21 inclined upwards, from the inside, in this case from the upper part of the inner vertical branch 4 of the frame, towards the outside, giving the fairing a bowl shape.
  • the width of the fairing 20 is substantially double that of the frame, and, vertically, the fairing does not extend here down to the foot of the support 7, but only substantially up to a third of its height, whether it rests on the ground or not.
  • the fairing 20 is wrapped in a finishing fabric 22, giving the slatted base of the invention a so-called box spring. So that the fabric remains well pressed against the synthetic foam sheath, it is folded inwardly of the frame, beyond the openings 6, the upper wall 18 and the lower wall 23 of which are, for this purpose, also folded towards the interior, as shown in fig. 1.
  • the coating and filling of the support frame 1 of the bed base of the invention is carried out by injection into a two-part mold, the internal space of which corresponds to the external shape of the sheath. Before injection, the tissue is placed against the interior walls of the mold, the injection operation also already causing the tissue to adhere to the injected material.
  • the folding of the fabric inward, after the formation of the sheath and before the anchoring of the ends of the batten aims to perfectly ensure its maintenance around and on the fairing sheath.
  • the elements of at least two pairs of adjacent elements belonging respectively to the two long sides of the support frame, facing one another, do not are not nested by their adjacent walls.
  • the elements of each of these pairs are shortened, lengthwise, at least in line with opposite internal partitions 55, 56, respectively, the elastic material filling the space between these elements thus dissociated.
  • the long sides of the support include hinges, or other similar means. It is thus possible, from these zones, to raise the long discontinuous sections of the support frame, the support and, with them, the associated mattress, and further increase the services offered to the user.
