Description

La présente invention concerne un support destiné à fixer un embout pour extrémités de lattes de sommier par rapport à un profilé métallique.The present invention relates to a support intended to fix an end-piece for the ends of the slats of a bed base with respect to a metal profile.

Dans les sommiers à lattes les extrémités de ces dernières sont saisies dans ce qu'il est convenu d'appeler des embouts. Ces embouts sont des pièces en caoutchouc naturel ou synthétique et elles sont en général destinées à assurer une flexibilité satisfaisante des extrémités des lattes par rapport aux profilés métalliques longitudinaux du cadre du sommier.In the slatted bases the ends of the latter are entered in what is known as end caps. These end pieces are parts of natural or synthetic rubber and they are generally intended to ensure satisfactory flexibility of the ends of the slats with respect to the longitudinal metal profiles of the frame of the bed base.

La fixation de ces embouts sur les profilés métalliques se fait par l'intervention de pièces intermédiaires, de vis, de rivets ou d'autres moyens de fixation. Ces opérations sont relativement fastidieuses et le degré de correction du montage qui en résulte n'est pas nécessairement uniforme.The fixing of these end pieces on the metal profiles is done by the intervention of intermediate parts, screws, rivets or other fixing means. These operations are relatively tedious and the degree of correction of the assembly which results therefrom is not necessarily uniform.

L'invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients et de proposer un support qui permet une fixation rapide de ceux-ci sur les profilés métalliques et cela dans des conditions de grande régularité.The object of the invention is to remedy these drawbacks and to propose a support which allows rapid fixing of these on the metal profiles and this under conditions of great regularity.

Pour réaliser cet objectif conformément à l'invention le support dans sa conception nouvelle et originale est constitué par une pièce allongée dont la section transversale a la forme d'un L formé d'une aile présentant des tétons destinés à être enfoncés dans des orifices correspondants du profilé métallique précité et une aile munie de protubérances destinées à être introduites dans des orifices correspondants prévus dans l'embout pour extrémités de lattes.To achieve this objective in accordance with the invention, the support in its new and original design consists of an elongated part, the cross section of which has the shape of an L formed of a wing having studs intended to be pressed into corresponding orifices. of the aforementioned metal profile and a wing provided with protuberances intended to be introduced into corresponding orifices provided in the end piece for the ends of the slats.

D'autres détails et avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description qui sera donnée ci-après d'un support destiné à fixer un embout pour extrémités de lattes de sommier par rapport à un profilé métallique.Other details and advantages of the invention will emerge from the description which will be given below of a support intended to fix a ferrule for the ends of the slats of the bed base with respect to a metal profile.

Cette description n'est donnée qu'à titre d'exemple et ne limite pas l'invention. Les notations de référence se rapportent aux figures ci-jointes.This description is given by way of example only and does not limit the invention. The reference notations refer to the attached figures.

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'un profilé métallique et de deux supports dont l'un est fixé sur le profilé tandis que l'autre est représenté selon le principe d'une vue explosée.Figure 1 is a perspective view of a metal profile and two supports, one of which is fixed to the profile while the other is shown according to the principle of an exploded view.

La figure 2 est une coupe transversale de deux profilés métalliques appartenant à un sommier montrant, également en coupe, deux supports recevant les extrémités d'une latte de sommier.Figure 2 is a cross section of two metal sections belonging to a box spring showing, also in section, two supports receiving the ends of a bed base.

Le support et son utilisation en rapport avec un profilé métallique creux est clairement illustré par ces figures.The support and its use in connection with a hollow metal profile is clearly illustrated by these figures.

En effet, les lattes l d'un sommier sont immobilisées par leurs extrémités dans des embouts flexibles 2 qui sont généralement constituées de caoutchouc naturel ou synthétique ou de toute autre matière souple. Les embouts présentent une cavité allongée dimensionnée en fonction de la largeur des extrémités des lattes 1 et, d'une manière connue en soi, l'embout se prolonge par une partie, également flexible, qui doit être immobilisée par rapport au profilé métallique creux 3. A cet effet les profilés métalliques creux 3 présentent à intervalle régulier des orifices 4 qui ont été découpés et estampés de manière telle que pour chaque orifice 4 il se forme à l'intérieur du profilé métallique creux 3 et vers le bas, en considérant la position d'utilisation, une collerette 3'.Indeed, the slats l of a box spring are immobilized by their ends in flexible end pieces 2 which are generally made of natural or synthetic rubber or any other flexible material. The end pieces have an elongated cavity dimensioned as a function of the width of the ends of the slats 1 and, in a manner known per se, the end piece is extended by a part, also flexible, which must be immobilized relative to the hollow metal profile 3 To this end, the hollow metal sections 3 have at regular intervals orifices 4 which have been cut and stamped with so that for each orifice 4 it forms inside the hollow metal profile 3 and downwards, considering the position of use, a flange 3 '.

Selon l'invention il est donc fait usage d'un support nouveau et original qui permet le montage extrêmement rapide et régulier des embouts destinés à recevoir les extrémités des lattes 1.According to the invention, use is therefore made of a new and original support which allows the end fittings intended to receive the ends of the slats 1 to be mounted extremely quickly and regularly.

Ces supports 5 sont constitués d'une pièce allongée 6 dont la section transversale a la forme d'un L dont l'aile 6' présente des tétons 7 tandis que l'aile 6'' présente, selon l'exemple décrit aux figures, deux protubérances 8 dimensionnées pour pénétrer dans des cavités correspondantes de l'embout flexible 2.These supports 5 consist of an elongated piece 6, the cross section of which has the shape of an L, the wing 6 'of which has studs 7 while the wing 6' 'has, according to the example described in the figures, two protrusions 8 dimensioned to penetrate into corresponding cavities of the flexible end piece 2.

On constate immédiatement que la fixation des supports d'embouts sur un profilé métallique creux du type représenté aux figures est des plus simples. Simultanément les protubérances 8 sont installées à une distance fixe de telle sorte que pour chaque embout destiné à supporter les extrémités des lattes, le montage se fait de façon correcte et d'une manière qui d'un point de vue de réalisation technique ne présente pas le moindre problème.It is immediately apparent that the attachment of the endpiece supports to a hollow metal section of the type shown in the figures is very simple. Simultaneously the protrusions 8 are installed at a fixed distance so that for each end piece intended to support the ends of the slats, the mounting is done in a correct manner and in a way which from a technical point of view does not present the slightest problem.

De plus, les tétons 8 qui font partie du support 5 ne vont, en cours d'utilisation du sommier à lattes, jamais se déformer. Les tétons 7 qui sont apparents à la partie inférieure, considérée en position d'utilisation du support 5 demeurent calés sans le moindre jeu dans les orifices 4 du profilé 3.In addition, the pins 8 which are part of the support 5 will never, during use of the slatted base, deform. The pins 7 which are visible in the lower part, considered in the position of use of the support 5, remain wedged without the slightest play in the orifices 4 of the profile 3.

Il est bien évident que si, dans l'exemple décrit, le support fixé sur le profilé métallique creux par deux tétons présente deux protubérances, toute autre conception de ce support tombe dans le cadre de la présente demande de brevet pour autant que les modifications y apportées soient compatibles à la revendication ci-jointe.It is obvious that if, in the example described, the support fixed to the hollow metal profile by two pins has two protrusions, any other design of this support falls within the scope of this patent application provided that the modifications made to it are compatible with the attached claim.
