Definitions

  • the invention relates to a slatted base for seating and reclining furniture, provided with supporting bodies of a resilient material which receive the ends of slats extending parallel to each other, each supporting body having in a lower part two recesses for receiving the ends of connecting means and in an upper portion being provided with means for receiving the ends of said slats.
  • the object of the invention is to obtain a slatted board of the above kind, wherein the disadvantages of the known construction can be avoided.
  • a slatted base which can be provided loose in a frame of a seating or reclining unit or the like, so that the slatted base is easily detachable from the seating or reclining unit, e.g. for cleaning purposes.
  • the slatted base is also collapsible, and thus easily conveyable. This makes it possible inter alia to take along the slatted base in a caravan or the like, in particular so because the slatted base can also be used by simply putting it on the ground.
  • the slatted base shown in Figure 1 comprises a plurality of supporting bodies 1, which in the illustrated embodiment are arranged to form three rows 2 - 4 of supporting bodies 1, which are lined up one behind the other when seen in the longitudinal direction of the slatted base.
  • supporting bodies are only indicated as paral- lelepipedal blocks.
  • the supporting bodies 1 serve to support upper slats 5 and are interconnected by means of said upper slats 5 and lower slats 6 having a larger cross-section than said upper slats 5.
  • the supporting body illustrated in more detail in Figure 2 is made of a resilient elastomer material, e.g. natural rubber.
  • the supporting body is provided with an upper row of openings 7, five in the illustrated embodiment, having an oval section. Said openings 7 are intended to receive the slats 5 having a corresponding section.
  • Near its bottom side the supporting body is provided with two openings 8 having a rectangular section in the illustrated embodiment, which are intended to receive the lower slats 6 having a corresponding section.
  • the upper row is formed by four recesses 9 whose section is at least substantially circular, said openings, as will be apparent from Figure 2, being staggered with respect to the upper openings or recesses 7, in such a manner that the vertically extending central axes of the recesses 9 are located centrally between the vertically extending central axes of the recesses 7.
  • the lower row of recesses of the two rows of recesses provided in the central part of the supporting body consists of two recesses 10 having an elongated section, and a recess 11 having a circular section located therebetween. Said recesses 10 and 11 are thereby located immediately below an upper recess 7 and the two outer recesses 10 are also located immediately above the lower recesses 8.
  • Two recesses 12 having a substantially circular section are provided near the sides of the supporting body, said recesses being in open communication with the sides of the supporting body via slotted passages 13.
  • a circular groove 14 is provided near the centre of each opening 12.
  • the openings 12 serve to provide the coupling means 15 illustrated in Figures 4 and 5 therein, said coupling means being intended to interconnect the supporting bodies 1 lined up to form rows 2, 3, and 4 respectively.
  • Each coupling means preferably made of a flexible material, such as rubber, comprises two parts 16 and 17 having a substantially circular section, said parts near their centres being provided with an annular projecting rib 18. The two parts 16 and 17 are connected by a connecting rib 19.
  • the parts 16 and 17 may be slid into the openings 12 provided in the facing ends of two adjacently disposed supporting bodies.
  • the connecting part 19 will extend through the openings 13 thereby, whilst the projecting ribs will be snapped into the grooves 14 in order to prevent the coupling means from moving in the longitudinal direction of the parts 16 and 17 with respect to the supporting bodies in question. It will be apparent that thus any required number of supporting bodies can be lined up to form a row 2, 3 or 4, in order to obtain the required length of the slatted base, whereby the lined-up support bodies in question are pivotally coupled by means of the coupling means.
  • the recesses 7 and 8 receiving the slats 5 and 6 are closed at one end by wall parts 20 and 21 respectively, so as to bound the movement of the supporting bodies in question across the slats 5 and 6 in question.
  • the lined-up supporting bodies forming a central row 3 will not be provided with such boundary walls 20 and 21.
  • the slatted base thus formed is an independent unit, which can be placed on any desired plate, e.g. in reclining or seating furniture, but also on the ground or the like of course.
  • the lower slats 6 of the slatted base thereby keep the lower part of the slatted base horizontally oriented, whilst only the upper slats 5 will deflect under the influence of the weight of a person making use of the slatted base. In practice it has appeared that an optimal support of the body can be obtained hereby. It is possible thereby to use the slatted base without an upper mattress of the like. When it is considered desirable to provide an upper mattress on the slatted base, so as to obtain a good insulation or offer even more comfort, a thin flexible and light mattress will suffice, such a mattress thus being easy to exchange, air, keep clean and move.
  • the greatest width of the upper slats is ⁇ 20 mm and the greatest thickness ⁇ 10 mm, whilst the centre distance between the slats is ⁇ 40 mm. Due to the illustrated and above-described construction of the supporting bodies the slats will thereby move in an at least substantially vertical direction upon deformation of the supporting body.
  • the sectional dimensions of the lower slats are ⁇ 20 x 30 mm in the illustrated embodiment.
  • the recesses 9 have a diameter of ⁇ 35 mm, the recess 11 has a diameter of ⁇ 25 mm, which approximately corresponds with the height of the recesses 10, whose length is ⁇ 30 mm when measured in horizontal direction.
  • the thinnest parts of the ribs located between the various openings are ⁇ 6 mm thick.
  • the width of the slatted base can be adapted to the desired application, whereby said width B may e.g. range from 700 - 1000 mm.
  • Figures 7 - 10 illustrate a second embodiment of a supporting body according to the invention.
  • the supporting body made of a resilient material is at least substantially formed of thin, interconnected ⁇ 3 mm thick wall parts surrounding openings or passages.
  • the upper openings 23, intended for receiving the upper slats of the slatted base, are thus bounded by wall parts 24.
  • the supporting body 22 has six elliptical holes or recesses 23, whose largest horizontal axis is ⁇ 20 mm and whose largest vertical axis is ⁇ 10 mm.
  • the wall parts 24 bounding the adjacent holes 23 are interconnected by means of wall parts 25, which form the upper boundary of further more or less triangular openings or recesses 26 located below and, when seen in plan view, between the openings 23.
  • Said openings or recesses 26 are bounded by parts of wall parts 27 located between the recesses 26, which bound holes or openings 28 having a circular section.
  • the openings 28 have a diameter of ⁇ 30 mm, and the centre distance between the openings 23 located immediately thereabove is ⁇ 39 - 40 mm.
  • the wall parts 27 bounding openings 28 lying side by side are interconnected by horizontally extending, rib-shaped wall parts 29 located near the centres of the openings 28.
  • a further row of holes or recesses 30 - 33 is located below the row of openings or recesses 28, said recesses 30 - 33 being bounded by curved wall parts 34 - 37 which, as will be apparent from Figure 7, form part of circular arcs having a radius of ⁇ 25 mm.
  • the outer openings or recesses 30 and 33 are thereby more or less semi-circular, whilst the inner recesses 31 and 32 have a slightly larger diameter.
  • the wall parts bounding the inner recesses 31 and 32 are interconnected by means of a wall part 38 forming a horizontal rib located near the centres of the wall parts 35 and 36.
  • the supporting body 22 is provided with two openings or recesses 39 having a circular section, so as to receive the lower slats of the slatted base, said openings or recesses 39 being bounded by wall parts 40.
  • the diameter of the openings 39 is ⁇ 25 mm.
  • the two wall parts 40 bounding the openings 39 are interconnected by two wall parts 41 and 42 extending horizontally above each other, said wall parts forming ribs and possibly being connected by means of a vertical rib 43 extending between said wall parts 41 and 42.
  • the wall parts 39 and 40 with the wall parts 35 and 36 bounding the openings 31 and 32 located thereabove, are connected, in the manner illustrated in Figure 7, to wall parts or ribs 44 and 45 extending perpendicularly to the plane of the drawing, said wall parts or ribs 44 and 45 extending radially with respect to the centres of the wall parts 35 and 36 in question, and including an angle of ⁇ 18o with the vertical through the centre in question thereby.
  • a wall part 46 forming a vertically extending rib is furthermore provided on top of the wall part 41, said wall part 46 near its end joining the ribs 44 and 45 and the lower parts of the wall parts 35 and 36 that join said ribs.
  • a wall part 47 forming a strengthening rib is furthermore provided between the wall parts 34 and 40, said wall part 47 also joining the wall part 35 and the rib 44 in the manner illustrated in Figure 7.
  • a similar wall part 48 is provided between the right-hand wall part 40, when seen in Figure 7, and the wall part 37.
  • the wall parts 24 of two supporting bodies lined up one behind the other can thus be arranged side by side so as to receive one and the same upper slat.
  • the lined-up supporting bodies are automatically pivotally coupled together by means of the outer slats supported by the supporting bodies in question.
  • ribs or wall parts 49 - 52 being in line with the wall part forming a rib 38 and being integral with the other parts of the supporting body are provided in the recesses or openings 30 - 33. It will be apparent that by providing said horizontally extending ribs or wall parts 49 - 52 the wall parts 34 - 37 bounding the recesses 30 - 33 will less readily move in a direction away from each other near the ribs 49 - 52, so that when using the embodiment according to Figure 11 a supporting element has been obtained wich offers greater resistance to a downward movement of the upper slats accommodated in the openings or holes 23.
  • a further reinforcement has been obtained by providing wall parts 53 forming further ribs in the openings or recesses 28, in line with the wall parts 29 forming ribs, said wall parts 53 being integral with the wall parts 27 bounding the openings or recesses and extending diametrically opposite confronting points of said wall parts 27.
