Definitions
- the invention relates to an articulated bed base, the bust part at least is likely to pivot and slide in relation to a fixed frame.
- Known articulated bed bases such as that described in FR-A-1 439 800 comprise a certain number of tilting parts which pivot relative to a frame fixed and relative to their neighboring parts and which allow the sleeping part to take tilting desired depending on the desired relaxation position.
- the articulated parts are set in motion by one or more electric motors which change their orientation by by means of connecting rods and pivoting levers.
- Usage the most common of these bases is to raise the part bust, that is to say the head of the box spring so that the user is in a semi-sitting position facilitating for example reading. But the simple pivot of this bust part compared to the rest of the box spring, which raises the user, systematically keeps him away from his head of the bed, therefore of the lighting, of the bedside table, of the phone etc ...
- the Applicant has therefore developed a mechanism different which allows the entire sleeping area to also slide in relation to the fixed frame, as and measurement of the elevation of the bust part so that the user's head is always close by immediately from the headboard, both when lying down than in a seated position.
- a main object of the present invention therefore consists of an articulated bed base, the sleeping part of which has a horizontal plane and at least part tilting articulated on said horizontal plane, maneuvered by at least one motor which changes its orientation by by means of connecting rods and / or pivoting levers, articulated on the fixed frame of the box spring, at least one connecting rod being supported by its opposite end on the tilting part of the bed making up the bust part, bed base according to which the entire sleeping part is moves in translation on the fixed frame, and is connected at the end of the connecting rod and according to which the driving member which controls the pivoting of the connecting rod and the part reclining bed, also controls movement of the entire sleeping area towards the head of bed.
- the end of the rod is supported on the part tilting, substantially in its middle zone and it is articulated with said tilting part at this point.
- the plan horizontal of the sleeping part rests on a frame movable in translation on the fixed frame, at least one stock connecting the end of each connecting rod to the chassis mobile and each end of the connecting rod carrying a roller bearing on which the tilting part of the sleeping.
- a stick is attached to each end of a pivoting control bar extending transversely to the movable chassis and the end of the large arm of the stock swivels on the end of the rod, while on the end of the small arm of the stick which extends in reverse direction is connected the rod a cylinder mounted on the fixed frame which constitutes the member connecting rod pivot motor.
- FIG. 1 is a schematic illustration of a bed base according to the invention in which the sleeping part is consisting of a horizontal plane 3 capable of moving in translation on the fixed frame 1 of the bed and of a part tilting 2 articulated on the plane 3.
- a connecting rod 4 whose length is proportional to that of the part tilting 2 constituting the bust part, is articulated on the one hand on the fixed frame 1 at the level of its headboard 6 and on the other hand on the tilting part substantially in its middle zone, the articulation between the connecting rod and the part reclining being ensured at this point.
- the connecting rod of connection 4 could be fixed to the pivoting member of the tilting part.
- a safety bar 5 is arranged at the foot of the bed, between the horizontal plane 3 and the frame 1 to prevent any incident, as will be shown later. It is clearly seen in Figures 2 and 3 that when the inclination of the bust part 2, due to the connecting rod 4, the horizontal sleeping plane 3 as well as the bust part, move in translation away from the footboard, which has the effect that the upper end of the part bust stays the same distance from the headboard regardless or its degree of inclination.
- the fixed frame 1 is made up of two crosspieces longitudinal of the bed, connected by crosspieces not visible. Headboard 6 also fixed is secured to the chassis.
- a frame mobile 13 able to move back and forth or conversely, because it is mounted on rollers of bearing 7.
- a control bar 8 which can pivot.
- a stock 9 including a large arm 9a extends substantially horizontally towards the head of bed while its small arm 9b extends in opposite direction and downwards, its end 10 projecting under the chassis fixed 1.
- the movable rod 11 of a jack 12 mounted on the chassis mobile 13 is connected to this end 10 of each stick.
- the end of the large arm 9a of each stick supports a roller 14 mounted idly on an axis 15.
- each connecting rod extends horizontally between the headboard and the movable frame 13 and keeps the latter apart at maximum of the headboard.
- the horizontal plane 3 corresponding to the sleeping part which remains horizontal is fixed to the movable frame 13 at several points on its surface in particular by the link 17.
- the tilting part 2 of the box spring is connected to plane 3 by a set of articulations 18 and it rests on the rollers 14 mounted at the ends of the stocks 9. Alternatively, the rollers 14 could be replaced by sliding pads.
- the whole bed section of the box spring, shown in Figure 4 is so horizontal and the end of the tilting part 2 is located in the immediate vicinity of the headboard 6.
- Figure 5 shows the box spring when the part bust is angled.
- the rod 11 acts on the end 10 of the butt 9 ensuring the pivoting thereof around its axis which constitutes the control bar 8.
- the upward movement of the arms 9a which as a result, lifts the tilting part 2 by through the rollers 14, part of which the end pivots relative to plane 3 thanks to the joints 18.
- the connecting rod 4 linked by its end to the butt 9, is also driven upwards by pivoting around the stem 16 and thereby exerts traction on the stock having the effect of moving the movable chassis 13 - and the entire sleeping part that it supports -, towards the headboard 6.
- the frame mobile rolls, thanks to its rollers 7, on the fixed chassis 1.

Abstract
Description
L'invention porte sur un sommier articulé dont la partie buste au moins est susceptible de pivoter et de coulisser par rapport à un cadre fixe.The invention relates to an articulated bed base, at least the torso part of which is capable of pivoting and sliding relative to a fixed frame.
Les sommiers articulés connus tels que celui décrit dans le FR-A-1 439 800 comportent un certain nombre de parties inclinables qui pivotent par rapport à un cadre fixe et par rapport à leurs parties voisines et qui permettent à la partie couchage de prendre des inclinaisons voulues en fonction de la position de relaxation recherchée. Les parties articulées sont mises en mouvement par un ou des moteurs électriques qui modifient leur orientation par l'intermédiaire de bielles et de leviers pivotants. L'usage le plus courant de ces sommiers consiste à relever la partie buste, c'est-à-dire la tête du sommier pour que l'utilisateur se trouve en position semi-assise lui facilitant par exemple la lecture. Mais le simple pivotement de cette partie buste par rapport au reste du sommier, qui relève l'utilisateur, l'éloigne systématiquement de la tête du lit, donc de l'éclairage, de la table de nuit, du téléphone etc...Articulated bed bases, such as the one described in FR-A-1 439 800, have several tilting sections that pivot relative to a fixed frame and to their neighboring sections, allowing the sleeping area to be adjusted to the desired relaxation position. These articulated sections are moved by one or more electric motors that change their orientation via connecting rods and pivoting levers. The most common use of these bed bases is to raise the headboard section, i.e., the head of the bed base, so that the user is in a semi-reclined position, making it easier, for example, to read. However, simply pivoting this headboard section relative to the rest of the bed base, which raises the user, systematically moves them further from the head of the bed, and therefore away from the light, the bedside table, the telephone, etc.
On connait par le GB-A-2 124 896 un support de matelas qui est flexible et fixé par sa tête à une bande sans fin verticale. Le support se déplace sur des rouleaux quand la partie buste est relevée et ainsi la partie buste ne s'éloigne pas de la tête de lit. Mais le système ne convient pas aux sommiers articulés avec bielles et leviers pivotants.The GB-A-2 124 896 is a known example of a mattress support that is flexible and attached at its head to a vertical, continuous band. The support moves on rollers when the upper section is raised, thus preventing it from moving away from the headboard. However, this system is not suitable for adjustable bed bases with connecting rods and pivoting levers.
La Demanderesse a donc mis au point un mécanisme différent qui permet à l'ensemble de la partie couchage de coulisser également par rapport au cadre fixe, au fur et à mesure de l'élévation de la partie buste de telle sorte que la tête de l'utilisateur reste toujours à proximité immédiate de la tête de lit, aussi bien en position allongée qu'en position assise.The Applicant has therefore developed a different mechanism which allows the entire sleeping section to slide relative to the fixed frame, as the torso section is raised, so that the user's head always remains in the immediate vicinity of the headboard, whether lying down or sitting up.
Un objet principal de la présente invention consiste donc en un sommier articulé dont la partie couchage comporte un plan horizontal et au moins une partie inclinable articulée sur ledit plan horizontal, manoeuvrée par au moins un moteur qui modifie son orientation par l'intermédiaire de bielles et/ou de leviers pivotants, articulés sur le châssis fixe du sommier, au moins une bielle étant en appui par son extrémité opposée sur la partie inclinable du couchage constituant la partie buste, sommier selon lequel l'ensemble de la partie couchage se déplace en translation sur le châssis fixe, et est raccordé à l'extrémité de la bielle et selon lequel l'organe moteur qui commande le pivotement de la bielle et de la partie inclinable du couchage, commande également le déplacement de l'ensemble de la partie couchage en direction de la tête de lit.A principal object of the present invention is therefore an articulated bed base whose sleeping part comprises a horizontal plane and at least one part tiltable articulated on said horizontal plane, operated by at least one motor which modifies its orientation by means of connecting rods and/or pivoting levers, articulated on the fixed frame of the bed base, at least one connecting rod being supported by its opposite end on the tiltable part of the bed constituting the torso part, bed base according to which the entire sleeping part moves in translation on the fixed frame, and is connected to the end of the connecting rod and according to which the motor which controls the pivoting of the connecting rod and the tiltable part of the bed, also controls the movement of the entire sleeping part towards the head of the bed.
Selon une première variante de réalisation, l'extrémité de la bielle est en appui sur la partie inclinable, sensiblement dans sa zone médiane et elle est articulée avec ladite partie inclinable en ce point.According to a first variant embodiment, the end of the connecting rod rests on the tiltable part, substantially in its middle area, and it is articulated with said tiltable part at this point.
Selon une autre variante de réalisation, le plan horizontal de la partie couchage repose sur un châssis mobile en translation sur le châssis fixe, au moins une crosse reliant l'extrémité de chaque bielle au châssis mobile et chaque extrémité de la bielle portant un galet de roulement sur lequel repose la partie inclinable du couchage.According to another embodiment, the horizontal plane of the sleeping area rests on a mobile frame translating on the fixed frame, at least one crossbar connecting the end of each connecting rod to the mobile frame and each end of the connecting rod carrying a roller on which rests the tilting part of the sleeping area.
Avantageusement, une crosse est fixée à chaque extrémité d'une barre de commande pivotante s'étendant transversalement au châssis mobile et l'extrémité du grand bras de la crosse tourillonne sur l'extrémité de la bielle, tandis que sur l'extrémité du petit bras de la crosse qui s'étend en sens inverse vers le bas est raccordée la tige d'un vérin monté sur le châssis fixe qui constitue l'organe moteur du pivotement de la bielle.Advantageously, a hook is fixed to each end of a pivoting control bar extending transversely to the moving frame, and the end of the large arm of the hook pivots on the end of the connecting rod, while on the end of the small arm of the hook, which extends downwards in the opposite direction, is connected the rod of a cylinder mounted on the fixed frame, which constitutes the driving element for the pivoting of the connecting rod.
Les caractéristiques particulières et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui va suivre d'exemples de réalisation dans lesquels il sera fait référence aux dessins annexés qui représentent :
- Figure 1 une vue schématique en élévation du sommier articulé en position horizontale.
- Figures 2 et 3 des vues montrant le sommier dont la partie buste est respectivement en position intermédiaire et en position inclinée maximum.
- Figure 4 une vue en élévation à plus grande échelle d'une autre variante de réalisation de sommier articulé en position horizontale et figure 5 la même vue avec la partie buste en position inclinée.
- Figure 1 is a schematic elevation view of the hinged bed frame in a horizontal position.
- Figures 2 and 3 of the views showing the bed base with the torso part respectively in intermediate position and in maximum inclined position.
- Figure 4 shows a larger-scale elevation view of another variant of the hinged bed base in a horizontal position, and Figure 5 shows the same view. with the torso part in an inclined position.
La figure 1 est une illustration schématique d'un sommier selon l'invention dans lequel la partie couchage est constituée d'un plan horizontal 3 susceptible de se déplacer en translation sur le châssis fixe 1 du lit et d'une partie inclinable 2 articulée sur le plan 3. Une bielle de liaison 4 dont la longueur est proportionnée à celle de la partie inclinable 2 constituant la partie buste, est articulée d'une part sur le châssis fixe 1 au niveau de sa tête de lit 6 et d'autre part sur la partie inclinable sensiblement dans sa zone médiane, l'articulation entre la bielle et la partie inclinable étant assurée en ce point. En variante, la bielle de liaison 4 pourrait être fixée à l'organe de pivotement de la partie inclinable. Une barre de sécurité 5 est disposée au pied du lit, entre le plan horizontal 3 et le châssis 1 pour prévenir tout incident, comme on le montrera plus loin. On voit clairement aux figures 2 et 3 que lors de l'inclinaison de la partie buste 2, du fait de la bielle 4, le plan horizontal 3 de couchage ainsi que la partie buste, se déplacent en translation en s'éloignant du pied de lit, ce qui a pour effet que l'extrémité supérieure de la partie buste reste à la même distance de la tête de lit quel que soit son degré d'inclinaison.Figure 1 is a schematic illustration of a bed base according to the invention, in which the sleeping area consists of a horizontal plane 3 that can move in translation along the fixed frame 1 of the bed and a tilting section 2 hinged to the plane 3. A connecting rod 4, the length of which is proportional to that of the tilting section 2 constituting the headboard, is hinged on one side to the fixed frame 1 at its headboard 6 and on the other side to the tilting section substantially in its midsection, the articulation between the connecting rod and the tilting section being ensured at this point. Alternatively, the connecting rod 4 could be fixed to the pivoting mechanism of the tilting section. A safety bar 5 is located at the foot of the bed, between the horizontal plane 3 and the frame 1, to prevent any accidents, as will be shown later. Figures 2 and 3 clearly show that when the torso part 2 is tilted, due to the connecting rod 4, the horizontal sleeping plane 3 and the torso part move in translation away from the foot of the bed, which has the effect that the upper end of the torso part remains at the same distance from the head of the bed regardless of its degree of inclination.
On a représenté plus en détail à la figure 4 un mécanisme d'articulation inspiré de celui schématisé à la figure 1. Le châssis fixe 1 est constitué des deux traverses longitudinales du lit, reliées par des traverses transversales non visibles. La tête de lit 6 également fixe est solidaire du châssis.Figure 4 shows in more detail an articulation mechanism inspired by the one schematically represented in Figure 1. The fixed frame 1 consists of the two longitudinal bed rails, connected by hidden transverse rails. The headboard 6, also fixed, is attached to the frame.
Au-dessus du châssis fixe 1, repose un châssis mobile 13 pouvant se déplacer d'avant en arrière ou inversement, du fait qu'il est monté sur des galets de roulement 7. Sur ledit châssis mobile est montée, transversalement entre ses deux longerons longitudinaux, une barre de commande 8 pouvant pivoter. A chaque extrémité de la barre est fixée une crosse 9 dont un grand bras 9a s'étend sensiblement horizontalement en direction de la tête de lit tandis que son petit bras 9b s'étend en sens inverse et vers le bas, son extrémité 10 débordant sous le châssis fixe 1. La tige mobile 11 d'un vérin 12 monté sur le châssis mobile 13 se raccorde à cette extrémité 10 de chaque crosse. L'extrémité du grand bras 9a de chaque crosse supporte un galet 14 monté fou sur un axe 15. Sur cet axe 15 tourillonne l'extrémité de la bielle de liaison 4 schématisée aux figures 1 à 3. Cette dernière a la forme d'une canne dont l'extrémité opposée s'articule sur une potence 16, solidaire du châssis fixe 1 à proximité immédiate de la tête de lit 6. Il y a donc deux bielles articulées à chacune des deux crosses latérales pivotantes. On voit à la figure 4 que chaque bielle s'étend horizontalement entre la tête de lit et le châssis mobile 13 et maintient ce dernier écarté au maximum de la tête de lit. Le plan horizontal 3 correspondant à la partie couchage qui reste horizontale est fixé au châssis mobile 13 en plusieurs points de sa surface notamment par la liaison 17. La partie inclinable 2 du sommier est reliée au plan 3 par un jeu d'articulations 18 et elle repose sur les galets 14 montés aux extrémités des crosses 9. En variante, les galets 14 pourraient être remplacés par des patins de glissement. L'ensemble de la partie couchage du sommier, représentée à la figure 4, est donc horizontal et le bout de la partie inclinable 2 se trouve à proximité immédiate de la tête de lit 6.Above the fixed chassis 1 rests a movable chassis 13 that can move back and forth, or vice versa, because it is mounted on rollers 7. Mounted transversely between its two longitudinal members on this movable chassis is a control bar 8 that can pivot. A handle 9 is fixed to each end of the bar, one long arm 9a of which extends substantially horizontally towards the head. of the bed, while its small arm 9b extends in the opposite direction and downwards, its end 10 protruding under the fixed frame 1. The movable rod 11 of a jack 12 mounted on the movable frame 13 connects to this end 10 of each bracket. The end of the large arm 9a of each bracket supports a roller 14 mounted freely on an axle 15. The end of the connecting rod 4, shown schematically in Figures 1 to 3, pivots on this axle 15. This connecting rod is shaped like a cane, the opposite end of which is articulated on a bracket 16, fixed to the fixed frame 1 in the immediate vicinity of the headboard 6. There are therefore two connecting rods articulated to each of the two pivoting lateral brackets. Figure 4 shows that each connecting rod extends horizontally between the headboard and the movable frame 13 and keeps the latter as far away from the headboard as possible. The horizontal plane 3, corresponding to the sleeping area, which remains horizontal, is fixed to the movable frame 13 at several points on its surface, notably by the joint 17. The tilting section 2 of the bed base is connected to plane 3 by a set of joints 18 and rests on rollers 14 mounted at the ends of the brackets 9. Alternatively, the rollers 14 could be replaced by glides. The entire sleeping section of the bed base, shown in Figure 4, is therefore horizontal, and the end of the tilting section 2 is located in the immediate vicinity of the headboard 6.
La figure 5 montre le sommier quand la partie buste est inclinée. Pour passer à cette position, l'utilisateur a commandé la manoeuvre du vérin 12 dont la tige 11 agit sur l'extrémité 10 de la crosse 9 assurant le pivotement de celle-ci autour de son axe que constitue la barre de commande 8. Le mouvement ascendant des bras 9a, qui en résulte, soulève la partie inclinable 2 par l'intermédiaire des galets 14, partie dont l'extrémité pivote par rapport au plan 3 grâce aux articulations 18. Au cours de ce pivotement la bielle 4, liée par son extrémité à la crosse 9, est entraînée aussi vers le haut en pivotant autour de la potence 16 et exerce de ce fait une traction sur la crosse ayant pour effet de déplacer le châssis mobile 13 - et l'ensemble de la partie couchage qu'il supporte -, en direction de la tête de lit 6. Pour cela le châssis mobile roule, grâce à ses galets 7, sur le châssis fixe 1.Figure 5 shows the bed base when the torso section is inclined. To move to this position, the user activates the actuator 12, whose rod 11 acts on the end 10 of the arm 9, pivoting it around its axis, which is the control bar 8. The resulting upward movement of the arms 9a raises the tilting section 2 via the rollers 14. The end of this section pivots relative to the plane 3 thanks to the joints 18. During this pivoting, the connecting rod 4, attached at its end to the arm 9, is also moved upwards by pivoting around the support arm 16 and thus exerts a pulling force. on the handle which has the effect of moving the mobile frame 13 - and the whole sleeping part which it supports - towards the head of the bed 6. For this the mobile frame rolls, thanks to its rollers 7, on the fixed frame 1.
Dans la position représentée, on voit que la partie haute inclinée 2 s'est donc déplacée et son extrémité se trouve à proximité immédiate de la tête de lit 6, comme lorsque le couchage est en position horizontale. L'utilisateur reste ainsi à proximité des éclairages et tables de chevet.In the position shown, the upper inclined section 2 has moved and its end is now in the immediate vicinity of the headboard 6, as when the bed is in a horizontal position. The user thus remains close to the lights and bedside tables.
On voit à la figure 3 que dans la position buste incliné, le plan horizontal 3 s'est écarté du pied de lit, laissant un creux entre le couchage et le fond. Si un objet quelconque se trouvait déposé dans ce creux, il constituerait un obstacle à la remise en place du sommier en position horizontale. La barre de sécurité 5 mentionnée plus haut serait alors soumise à une pression exercée par l'objet repoussé par le lit et commanderait alors un contacteur qui inverse le sens d'action du vérin ou du moteur. Il n'y a donc pas de risque de détérioration de l'objet ni du lit, ni du mécanisme.Figure 3 shows that in the inclined torso position, the horizontal plane 3 has moved away from the foot of the bed, leaving a gap between the mattress and the base. If any object were placed in this gap, it would obstruct the return of the bed base to the horizontal position. The safety bar 5 mentioned above would then be subjected to pressure exerted by the object being pushed back by the bed, triggering a switch that reverses the direction of action of the actuator or motor. Therefore, there is no risk of damage to the object, the bed, or the mechanism.
Pour revenir à cette position horizontale on effectue la manoeuvre inverse à partir du vérin 12.To return to this horizontal position, the reverse maneuver is performed from cylinder 12.
