Definitions

  • This invention relates to an installation making it possible to support the slats of a box spring disposed with respect to the frame of a bed, each slat being supported by a rod which is directly under the influence of a hydraulically or pneumatically actuated element, which element can be moved inside a room, all rooms being interconnected according to the principle of communicating vessels.
  • the central part of the slatted base will sink completely to the lowest point when the user lies on it and this regardless of its position. This is due to the fact that the body is heaviest in its central part.
  • German patent DE-B-1 260 092 describes a slatted base in which each slat is supported on a piston which itself is supported on a roll-up membrane supported by the liquid contained in a cylinder. All the cylinders communicate with each other. This structure does not prevent in any way that extreme deviations or situations appear between close or even distant slats because nothing makes it possible to attenuate these extreme position deviations between neighboring or substantially neighboring slats, which creates uncomfortable situations for the user.
  • the invention aims to remedy this drawback and various others and to prescribe an installation which substantially improves the elastic support of such a slatted base.
  • the hydraulically or pneumatically actuated element consists in a piston whose connecting rod corresponds to the aforementioned rod.
  • the hydraulically or pneumatically movable element is a membrane to which the aforementioned link is connected.
  • the above-mentioned movable element is a roll-up membrane which acts on the rod guided in the aforementioned chamber.
  • FIG. 1 is a theoretical representation of the problem posed when a determined weight is supported on the slatted base.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates the distribution of the pressure on a slatted base not equipped with a counter-pressure spring.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates the same distribution of pressure when back pressure springs are used.
  • FIG. 4 shows an embodiment with a wound membrane, in which an adjustable air pressure is used as a counter-pressure spring.
  • Figures 5, 6 and 7 show an embodiment in which use is made of a wound membrane and showing the back pressure spring in three successive positions.
  • Figures 8 and 9 show two possible arrangements of a back pressure spring between a fixed element and a movable element.
  • Figure 10 shows a possibility of arrangement of a rubber spring.
  • FIG. 11 represents a possibility of arrangement of an air spring.
  • Figure 12 shows a front view of an arrangement of a torsion spring.
  • FIG. 13 represents a side view of an arrangement of the torsion spring according to FIG. 12.
  • Figure 14 shows a front view of an arrangement of a leaf spring.
  • FIG. 15 represents a side view of an arrangement of the leaf spring according to FIG. 13.
  • the envisaged movement of the slats which form the slatted base is slowed down by diaphragming, in a manner known per se, the outlet orifices of the chambers or cylinders.
  • downward pressure is created so that the slats on which pressure is exerted are completely in their position the lowest.
  • the other slats which do not support weight or pressure are positioned in the highest position. This situation develops on the assumption that, for a neutral rest position, all the rooms are half full.
  • FIG. 2 is a representation of a slatted base in which all the slats 4 rests on rods 5 which are either fully inserted where the body offers its heaviest weight, either found in their highest position, where no pressure or insignificant pressure is exerted on the slats.
  • Figure 3 is illustrated schematically the example of the case in which the body 3 of the user is supported on slats 4 which are themselves supported on rods 5 which are subjected to the action of a spring back pressure according to one or other of the provisions described below.
  • An ideal distribution of the slats is created here and there is a clearly visible intermediate position of these slats between a position in which they should normally have been fully inserted and a second position in which they could have been in the highest position.
  • the way in which a counter-pressure spring can be inserted into a slatted base according to the invention is described with reference to a large number of examples.
  • a rolled membrane 24 is applied in each of the chambers 6.
  • the rolled membranes have a very flexible structure so that part of the rolled membrane rolls up and takes place between the wall inside of the chamber 6 and the outer wall of a piston 25 which is fixed to the base of the link 5.
  • the piston 25 is guided relative to the chamber 6 by means of a small cylindrical part 26 which forms part of the chamber 6 , at the top and inside.
  • use is made as a counter-pressure spring of the hydraulic or pneumatic pressure adjustable in the chamber 6 above the roll-up membrane 24.
  • adjustable valves for example small ball valves 27.
  • FIGS. 5, 6 and 7 which represent a single and same structure in three different active positions, use is made as a counter-pressure spring, of a spiral spring 28 which is arranged around rod 5 and can be compressed between the upper inner part of a chamber 6 and the internal bottom 25 ′ of the piston 25.
  • the passage orifices 29 are provided at the top in each of the chambers 6 of the embodiment according to FIGS. 5, 6 and 7.
  • FIG. 6 shows an intermediate position in which the volume of the space 7 and the spiral spring 28 is or will be subjected to a start of compression between the bottom 25 'of the piston 25 and the upper edge of the chamber 6.
  • Figure 7 shows how the space 7 reaches maximum volume while the back pressure spring 28 is fully depressed.
  • FIG. 8 The embodiments according to Figures 8 and 9 show special arrangements of a pressure spring (Figure 8) and a tension spring (Figure 9).
  • the counter-pressure spring is gripped between a stud 31 which moves with the link 5, until the stud 31 is fixed on a lateral arm 5 ′ of the link 5.
  • the upper part of the counter spring pressure 30 fits in a cylindrical housing 32 which must be considered as a fixed element relative to the frame of the bed or the furniture.
  • the embodiment according to Figure 9 comprises an element 33 which is fixed relative to the frame of the bed.
  • This element has at its base and laterally an arm 33 ′ equipped with a small pin 34 around which one end of the tension spring 35 is gripped.
  • the spring 35 also ends with a hook 36 to which is welded a small pin 36 'which can be moved along the chamber 37 of the housing 38.
  • the cylindrical housing 38 forms a whole with the link 5 which is itself connected to the batten 4. When the batten 4 is pressed down at the same time as the link 5, the housing 38 will descend over a distance which corresponds approximately to the length of the slot 37.
  • the counter-pressure spring is formed by a cylinder 43.
  • a piston 44 is then connected to the connecting rod 5, a piston whose base is fixedly connected to the lateral arm 5 ′ of the link 5.
  • an air spring is used to act as a counter-pressure spring.
  • the embodiment according to Figures 12 and 13 is the same.
  • the link 5 here forms a whole with a plate 44 which can be moved in a guide 45 which must be considered as a fixed element relative to the frame of the bed.
  • a torsion spring 46 which presses by its arm 46 'against a small pin 47 which is fixed in the plate 44.
  • FIGS. 14 and 15 it is also possible to make use of a leaf spring as the counter-pressure spring as shown in FIGS. 14 and 15.
  • the back pressure springs can be locally suppressed or modified.
