Definitions

  • the invention relates to a base mattress for reclining furniture according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • bottom mattresses of this type have been widely used and have proven their worth in many variants.
  • the main focus of the innovations that have become known has so far been on the search for improved function and thus increased lying comfort.
  • the present invention is based on the object of proposing a sub-mattress construction that is inexpensive to manufacture and sell and yet meets today's basic requirements with regard to good lying properties.
  • the main feature of the invention is the proposed special design of the holding device between spring bridges and longitudinal frames of the lower mattress. This advantageously enables a largely flexible mounting of the spring bridges, in particular with regard to the required length compensation when a loaded spring bridge bends, with a component that is comparatively inexpensive, preferably made of plastic.
  • a sub-mattress designed according to the invention can also be accommodated in a disassembled state in a package of minimal volume and light weight, which has a very favorable effect both in terms of storage and in shipping and also allows, for example, a sub-mattress over the Deliver mail order to a customer as a single, easy-to-use postal package.
  • the holding device can also be implemented in a simple form, so that an under mattress according to the invention can be assembled and, if necessary, disassembled easily and without additional aids or tools.
  • a sub-mattress according to the invention in a grate shape known per se, the overall illustration of which has been omitted in the drawings, has two longitudinal frames 2, between which a large number of transverse spring bridges 4 are arranged.
  • the spring bridges 4 are connected at their ends in a manner to be described in more detail by means of a holding device essential to the invention with the respective longitudinal frame 2.
  • the holding device is designated 6 overall. It is made in one piece and preferably made of plastic and comprises a frame-shaped anchoring element 8, in the interior of which a plate-shaped bearing element 10 is arranged, which is formed on its lower edge via a connecting web 12 on the anchoring element 8, but on the other edges by an inverted U-shaped one Slot 14 is separated from this.
  • the anchoring element 8 lies against the inner surface of the longitudinal frame 2 and has a slightly profiled strip 16 for anchoring in the longitudinal frame 2.
  • a longitudinal groove 18 is provided in the frame 2, the cross section of which is adapted to the strip 16 such that the latter can be pressed into the groove 18 to form a press fit.
  • This type of anchoring has the advantage, among other things, that the anchoring member 8 Any position along the longitudinal frame 2 can be arranged and thus the distance between adjacent spring bridges 4 can be freely selected.
  • the connection between the bearing member 10 and the spring bridge 4 takes place via a cam 20 formed on the bearing member 10, which is designed here as a hollow profile.
  • the spring bridge 4 is a hollow profile, the inner contours of which form the recess 22 adapted to the cam 20;
  • the seat of the spring bridge on the cam is dimensioned in such a way that a secure fixation of the spring bridge is guaranteed when using the lower mattress.
  • the spring bridge should also be able to be pulled off the cam again with a certain amount of force, in order to allow easy removal of the base mattress.
  • the holding device 6 is designed such that the bearing member 10 and the connection between the anchoring member 8 and the bearing member 10 realized by the connecting web 12 on the one hand have sufficient rigidity to the longitudinal frames 2 or the spring bridges 4 mutually in the form of a to keep a largely stable base mattress, on the other hand however, have sufficient flexibility that allows the bearing member 10 to follow to a certain extent the changes in the spring bridge 4 which result when a person is lying down.
  • FIGS. 5 and 6 schematically illustrate the basic interaction of the bearing member 10 and the spring bridge 4.
  • the bearing member 10 When the spring bridge 4 is not loaded, the bearing member 10 is perpendicular, that is to say essentially parallel to the inner surface of the longitudinal frame (FIG. 5). If there is a load ( Figure 6, arrow B), the spring bridge 4 is pushed through. Thanks to the special design of the holding device 6, the bearing member 10 can bend or swivel away from the longitudinal frame under such a load, as indicated by the arrows C in FIG. 6 and represented by the broken line position in FIG. 2, and thus both follow the changed orientation of the spring bridge ends and compensate for the resulting shortening of the spring bridge in the horizontal direction. In this way, the elastic mounting of the spring bridge necessary for good lying properties of the base mattress is ensured.
  • the holding device designated here 24 has an anchoring member 26 in the form of an annular frame, which is held in the longitudinal frame 2 by means of a socket-shaped strip 28.
  • an anchoring member 26 In the inner region of the anchoring member 26, a bearing member 30 which is matched to its round shape is arranged and is connected to the former at its lower edge via a connecting web 32.
  • a cam 34 provided on the bearing member serves to receive the spring bridge.
  • 36 denotes a holding device, which consists of a plate-shaped anchoring member 40, which is held by a bar 38 in the longitudinal frame 2, and a likewise plate-shaped bearing member 42 with a cam 44, which is arranged above the anchoring member 40 and molded thereon.
  • FIG. 10 shows a structurally simple yet advantageous variant with the aid of a holding device 46.
  • the bearing element is a plate 48, on the upper edge of which an L-profile 50 serving as anchoring element is formed.
  • Plate 48 and L-profile 50 together form a U-profile, which is placed over the longitudinal frame 2 from above.
  • This design has the advantage that the bearing element under load is not only connected to the anchoring element is held, but is also supported at its lower edge on the longitudinal frame 2.
  • This design also has the advantage that the U-profiles can also be placed over the longitudinal frames of an existing bed frame. Since two otherwise required longitudinal frames can be saved in this way, the special embodiment mentioned is particularly cost-effective.
  • FIGS. 8 to 10 A position of the bearing member bent out under load is indicated in FIGS. 8 to 10 with a broken line.
  • the entire holding device can expediently - as is the case in the previously described exemplary embodiments - be produced as a one-piece part.
  • FIGS. 11 to 16 show two such exemplary embodiments.
  • the embodiment according to FIGS. 11 and 12 has an anchoring element 52 which comprises two side webs 54 abutting the longitudinal frame 2, which are connected in their lower region by a transverse web 56 and a wall 58 which is spaced apart from the longitudinal frame.
  • the side webs 54, the crossbar 56 and the wall 58 form a holding sleeve 60 for a bearing member 62.
  • the plate-shaped bearing member 62 with molded cam 63 for receiving a spring bridge is extended on its underside to an insertion tab 64 which connects the anchoring member 52 and the bearing member 62 can be inserted into the appropriately shaped holding sleeve 60.
  • the bearing element is in each case once with a solid line in a position before insertion and once with a broken line drawn in the inserted position.
  • An arrow D in FIG. 12 indicates the bending movement of the bearing element under load.
  • FIGS. 13 to 16 show a constructive variant of the embodiment of FIGS. 11 and 12.
  • the anchoring member comprises a comparatively large-area plate 66, on which an integrally formed wall 68 and a recess 70 form a holding sleeve 72 for a bearing member 74 that converges slightly downward.
  • the plate-shaped bearing member 74 is provided with a cam 76 for a spring bridge and has in its lower part an insertion flap 78, the material thickness of which is selected so that the insertion flap, when inserted into the downwardly converging holding sleeve 72, in the position desired for the bearing organ wedged.
  • the bending movement of the bearing element under load is indicated by an arrow E in FIG.
