Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a slatted frame for a bed with two longitudinal beams which run essentially in the longitudinal direction of the bed and are spaced apart from one another and with a number of spring strips which run at a mutual spacing and essentially transverse to the longitudinal beams and which together form a support surface for a mattress, as well as opposite the female slats located elastically deformable support slats, via which the female slats are connected to the longitudinal members, the longitudinal members being arranged below the female slats and the outsides of the longitudinal members facing the ends of the female slats being set back relative to the female slat ends, and in each case at least one female slat and one supporting bar are combined with two lateral edge area elements to form a support module.
  • Such a slatted frame is disclosed in European patent application EP 0 539 644.
  • This edge area element which connects a lower support bar and one or more upper female connectors at their ends and combines them to form a support module, is to be designed such that a pivoting of each individual female connector or a pivoting of all female connectors combined to form a support module transversely to the longitudinal direction of the Side member is possible.
  • slatted frames In the present type of slatted frames, it is not the side members, which are hidden laterally below the slats, that are the dominating elements that shape the appearance of the slatted frame, but the strung-together edge area elements. In order for the slatted frame to have an aesthetically pleasing effect, they should be as flat or low as possible, so that the lateral edge areas of the slatted frame are closed by a relatively narrow line. Such a construction gives the viewer the impression of a free-floating slatted frame or bed.
  • the support strip has an elastically deformable central region which is located between the longitudinal beams and which is more elastic than two end regions of the support strip directed from the longitudinal beams to the spring strip ends, that the support strip is supported on the two longitudinal beams and with connecting elements thereon is held, and that a pivoting movement of the support strip is possible at each support point in the transverse direction to the corresponding longitudinal member, which pivoting movements cause the two lateral edge regions of a support module to move downward at any point from the support side when it is loaded.
  • This counter-rotating swivel movement is responsible for the fact that when the one side slatted frame is loaded, the opposite side slatted frame is not raised, but is also lowered in the direction of loading. This prevents the slatted frame from tipping over under one-sided loads.
  • the limiting member which has each end area of a support strip and which is spaced from the closer longitudinal beam in the unloaded state of the slatted frame, it is achieved that deflection, in particular the edge areas of the slatted frame, cannot take place until a component is destroyed, but to a reasonable degree is limited. It is preferably provided that the maximum deflection of the edge region can be made variable using an adjusting element which is arranged to be adjustable. Since an adjusting member is provided for each support module on both sides of the slatted frame, an individual adjustment of the maximum deflection of the support modules along the slatted frame is possible. With the setting member, a space that is present between the limiting member and the closer longitudinal beam serving as a stop is kept larger or smaller.
  • the limiting element With increasing deflection, the limiting element then comes to an end sooner or later on the adjusting element.
  • provision can be made to produce the adjusting member from a rubber-elastic mass. As a result, the deflection is not stopped suddenly, but gently braked.
  • the support strip is supported on the longitudinal beams preferably with a support lug protruding from the support strip above the longitudinal beams, which can be essentially triangular in cross section and can extend in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal beams essentially over the entire width of the support strip.
  • a triangular tip faces the side members.
  • the support element can preferably be provided to provide a support element made of an elastic mass between the support lugs and the longitudinal beams. Deflection noises can be avoided on the one hand, on the other hand, the aforementioned possibilities of movement of the support strip at the support points relative to the longitudinal beams are already provided by the elastic mounting.
  • the support element is preferably made of a relatively soft rubber or silicone material or the like and has a notch in which the aforementioned support nose of the support strip is guided.
  • the support element lies on the side members with a plate-shaped support.
  • the slats of the slatted frame are slightly raised in the middle when not loaded. They have an upward bending curve. When the slatted frame is loaded, the slats spring down and reach a sagging bending curve.
  • the central region of the support strip is now preferably designed such that it is concavely bent relative to the unloaded spring strips.
  • the curvature curve of the support strips is preferably designed such that it corresponds to that of the correspondingly loaded spring strips bent downward. The support strip bent in this way does not disturb the relatively large deflection path of the spring strips. However, it limits the maximum spring deflection without producing an essentially punctiform hard limiting point directed towards the mattress.
  • the support strip is preferably also concavely pre-bent over the spring strips.
  • the support strip can be wave-shaped.
  • the support strip ends After their manufacture, the support strip ends have at least a distance of 5 cm, which runs in a straight line. In this way it is possible, by shortening these ends, to adapt a support strip to a limited extent to different slatted frame widths. The direction of insertion of the support strip ends into the edge area elements remains unchanged after the shortening.
  • the support strips are produced in one piece as an injection molded part, preferably from a thermoplastic.
  • the limiting member can be integrated in the support bar.
  • a rib construction is usually necessary.
  • gas pressure process This creates an injection molded hollow body that has a ribless surface on the outside. This has a positive effect on any dust deposits.
  • each edge region element has essentially pocket-shaped holding means for the end of the at least one spring strip and for the end of the supporting strip of a support module, that all holding means are arranged next to one another in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal beams and do not overlap in this direction and that all holding means bridging, designed as a support element cover wall is present, which connects the holding means to each other.
  • the edge area elements are intended for receiving and holding all facing strip ends, which together form a support module.
  • One of the strips is a lower support strip and at least one is a higher spring strip.
  • Preferred embodiments provide support modules with two spring strips arranged next to one another, the lower-lying support strip being arranged between the two spring strips.
  • edge area elements can also be provided, into which three side-by-side spring strips can be used, the lower-lying support strip being arranged in one of the two spaces between the spring strips.
  • the edge area element can be plugged onto the mutually facing ends of the spring strips and the support strip. Because of the given construction, in which the edge area element is not also connected to any longitudinal frame, it is necessary to provide means which prevent the edge area element from slipping sideways from the strip ends. According to the invention, securing means are provided for this purpose, which are designed as a type of snap device. In one of the ledge ends, preferably in the end of the support ledge, a notch running transversely to the support ledge can be cut into which a rib, which is arranged on the holding means of the edge area element for the support ledge, engages.
  • the holding means for the support strip which, like the holding means for the spring strips, is preferably pocket-shaped, is connected to the top wall of the edge region element via an element which is subjected to torsion and bending.
  • the connecting member can be tongue-shaped. It is used so that the edge area element can be pivoted relative to the support strip in the longitudinal direction of the slatted frame.
  • the spring strips inserted into the corresponding edge region element can thus also be pivoted with respect to the longitudinal members.
  • a circular segment-shaped pivot stop is provided, around which the holding means for the support strip can roll when the edge area element is pivoted.
  • Each holding means for one of the female connectors which is preferably designed as a pocket surrounding the end of the female connector, is further designed such that the female connector can be tilted within limits transversely to its longitudinal direction. This can be achieved, for example, by the fact that inside the pocket there are protrusions which extend in the longitudinal direction of the female connector and press against the center of the female connector, by which the female connector can be tilted to both sides until it abuts pending.
  • Spring elements in the form of spring tongues within the pocket-shaped holding means press on the lateral edge regions of a spring strip end inserted into the holding means, so that it is held in an untilted position in an unloaded state. This gives an uncovered slatted frame an aesthetically pleasing appearance in that the female slats are all aligned with one another in an untilted position.
  • the holding means in particular those which do not have the aforementioned securing means, can be provided with a depth stop which is designed such that in the unloaded state of the slatted frame the end of the associated strips extends essentially to the depth stop.
  • the slatted frame can therefore be raised on the side edge areas without any significant deflection of the correspondingly shaped support modules taking place upwards.
  • the edge area element is preferably made in one piece from a thermoplastic. This gives the edge area element the stability necessary for the type of slatted frame present.
  • An edge region element which is characterized in that it has essentially pocket-shaped holding means for the end of the at least one female connector and for the end of the supporting bar of a support module, all holding means being arranged next to one another in the longitudinal direction of the longitudinal members of the slatted frame and not in this direction overlap and there is a cover wall bridging all the holding means and designed as a supporting element, which non-positively connects the holding means to one another, can also be used on a slatted frame according to the prior art described in the introduction.
  • the connecting element which is subjected to torsion and bending, and via which the holding means for the support strip is connected to the edge area element, is not on the Limited use together with edge area elements with holding means arranged next to one another.
  • FIG. 1 shows a preferred embodiment of the slatted frame in a top view.
  • FIG. 2 comprises a section along the line II-II in FIG. 1 and essentially shows a side view of a support module 7 of the slatted frame.
  • This comprises two or three upper spring strips 3 and a lower support strip 4, which strips extend transversely to longitudinal beams 1, 2, which run below the strips.
  • the mutually facing ends 3a, 4a of all strips 3, 4, which form a support module 7, are held in an edge region element 6.
  • support modules 7 of the type described above are arranged in a row.
  • the spring strips 3 of all support modules 7 lying next to one another thereby form a support surface for a mattress to be placed on the slatted frame.
  • the support bar 4 of each support module 7 is intended to hold the latter to the side members 1, 2.
  • the slatted frame design is of the type that the longitudinal beams 1, 2 run below the female slats and are laterally set back from the female slat ends 3a towards the middle of the slatted frame.
  • outwardly projecting feet 71 can be attached or support brackets can be provided which are intended for inserting the slatted frame into a bed frame.
  • the side members are not visible from the side for an observer and the slatted frame gives the impression of free-floating slats 3, which are limited laterally by the edge area elements 6.
  • the female connectors 3 are slightly bent upwards in the unloaded state, ie away from the longitudinal beams 1, 2.
  • the opposite the female connectors 3 lower support strip 4 has a concave bend relative to the spring strips 3.
  • the support bar 4 is wave-shaped.
  • the support bar 4 is essentially divided into three parts. In a central region 8, which extends from the longitudinal member 1 to the longitudinal member 2 and which is designed to be elastically deformable. Adjoining the central area, each support bar 4 has an end area 9, 10, which extends outward from the longitudinal beams 1, 2, the outer end 4a of which faces the ends 3a of the higher spring bars 3 and ends in an edge area element 6.
  • each support strip there are 4 connecting elements or hold-down elements 11 for each support strip, which do not hold the support strip 4 rigidly on the longitudinal beams 1, 2, but hold or hold them down in such a way that length compensation when the support strip or the spring strips spring through relative to the Side members are possible and that a pivoting movement of the support bar in the transverse direction to the side member is possible at each support point of the support bar 4 on the side members 1, 2.
  • connection of the support strip 4 with the side members 1, 2, which is specially designed with the hold-down elements 11 in the aforementioned sense, and the elastically deformable central region 8 of the support member 4 ensures that when the spring strips 3 are loaded at the support points of the support member 4 on the side members 1, 2 there is an opposite swiveling movement. That is, with each load on the slatted frame, the edge area elements 6 move downwards on both sides of a support module 7. It is interesting that this is not only the case when the slatted frame is loaded in the center, but that this is also the case when only one edge of the slatted frame is loaded. This prevents the mattress from sloping and the hitherto known tilting effect does not occur.
  • the arrow 14 indicates a load on only one side edge of the slatted frame.
  • the arrows 12 and 13 are the Swivel directions at the support points of the support bar 4 on the side members 1 and 2 specified.
  • the arrows 12, 13, 14 also indicate the direction of movement of the edge area elements 6 with increasing load.
  • each end region 9, 10 of a support strip 4 there is a limiting member 15, 16 near the outside 17, 18 of each side member 1, 2.
  • the left and right delimiting members 15, 16 extend downward on the outer sides of the longitudinal members over a certain sub-area of the latter, with a stop surface being formed on each delimiting member, which runs parallel to the outside of the corresponding longitudinal member 1, 2.
  • a space 19, 20 is provided between the abutment surface of the limiting members 15, 16 and the outer sides 17, 18 of the side members 1, 2.
  • the limiting members 15, 16 move with their abutment surfaces as a result of the previously described pivoting of the support strip supports against the outer sides 17, 18 of the side members 1, 2 and, after a certain spring deflection of the spring strips 3 and the edge area elements 6, come on Outside of the side members 1, 2 for contact. Since a further pivoting of the support bar 4 around its support points is no longer possible, the deflection path is thereby limited. Depending on the size of the selected intermediate space 19, 20, the deflection path, in particular the edge area elements 6, can be larger or smaller.
  • Fastening devices are provided on the edge region element 6 so that bracket end parts, connecting parts or other parts can be fastened thereon.
  • bracket end parts, connecting parts or other parts can be fastened thereon.
  • holding brackets 68 which prevent a mattress lying on the slatted frame from sliding sideways.
  • head and foot brackets are identified, by which a longitudinal displacement of a mattress on the slatted frame can be prevented.
  • FIG. 3 a support point of the support bar 4 on one of the side members, in the example shown on the right side member 2, is shown enlarged.
  • FIG. 4 shows a view of this point from the direction of the arrow labeled IV in FIG. 3.
  • 5 shows a perspective view of the hold-down element 11, which plays a central role in connecting the support strip 4 to the side members. 3, 4 and 5 are therefore described simultaneously below.
  • the right side member 2 is shown in section.

  • the cross section of the support bar 4 is thereby essentially H-shaped. Additional reinforcing ribs 48 running in the vertical direction ensure the necessary stability.
  • a connecting element or hold-down element designated 11 comprises a carrier 26, on which a support element 25, two hold-down slides 42, an adjusting member 21 and a cover 50 are arranged.
