Abstract

The slatted mattress base has a back zone that can be raised and has a double head rest. This has a U-shaped frame (2) whose side bars (6) pivot on the mattress base. A second U-shaped frame (3) pivots on the first frame and moves telescopically on this when the back is raised. The back is raised by pivoting arms (12) and rods (21) and a back part (45) is joined to the rods. When the back is lowered the bars of the frames (6,18) are axially aligned. Each bar of the second frame rests on a support (23) joined to the bar of the first frame.

Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de sommier à lattes, du type comprenant une zone de dossier relevable et réalisé sous forme d'une double têtière pouvant être télescopiquement allongée dans sa direction longitudinale lors du relevage de la zone de dossier et qui comporte un premier cadre de support de lattes, en forme d'un U, pourvu de longerons articulés de façon pivotante à une extrémité aux pans longitudinaux du sommier, un second cadre de support de lattes, en forme d'un U, monté sur le premier cadre, pivotant et télescopiquement mobile par rapport à celui-ci lors du relevage de la zone de dossier, et un mécanisme à bras pivotants et à biellettes pour réaliser le relevage de la zone de dossier.The present invention relates to a slatted base device, of the type comprising a liftable backrest area and produced in the form of a double headrest which can be telescopically extended in its longitudinal direction when the backrest area is raised and which comprises a first frame slat support, U-shaped, provided with pivotally articulated spars at one end to the longitudinal sides of the bed base, a second slat support frame, U-shaped, mounted on the first frame, pivoting and telescopically movable relative to the latter when the backrest area is raised, and a mechanism with pivoting arms and links for lifting the backrest area.

Des dispositifs de sommier de ce type sont déjà connus. Ces dispositifs connus présentent cependant deux inconvénients majeurs.Bed base devices of this type are already known. These known devices however have two major drawbacks.

Le premier inconvénient réside dans un défaut d'alignement important entre les embouts de lattes, ce qui a pour conséquence que les deux cadres doivent être pourvus des lattes de longueurs différentes. Pour pallier cet inconvénient, on pourrait prévoir un système de pièces en bois, dites "crosses", obligatoirement en bois massif.The first drawback lies in a significant misalignment between the end pieces of the slats, which means that the two frames must be provided with slats of different lengths. To overcome this drawback, one could provide a system of wooden parts, called "sticks", necessarily solid wood.

Or cette solution présente les deux inconvénients que la crosse est une pièce compliquée et donc chère et, du fait que la crosse est en bois massif, il faut aussi employer du bois massif pour les autres parties relevables du sommier.However, this solution has the two drawbacks that the stick is a complicated and therefore expensive piece and, since the stick is made of solid wood, it is also necessary to use solid wood for the other lifting parts of the bed base.

Le deuxième inconvénient majeur réside dans le fait qu'un espace important se créé entre les deux cadres de support lorsque la zone de dossier occupe sa position relevée. Cet espace est inesthétique et le matelas n'a pas d'appui dans cette zone.The second major drawback is that a large space is created between the two support frames when the backrest area occupies its position. noted. This space is unsightly and the mattress has no support in this area.

La présente invention a pour but de proposer un dispositif de sommier du type décrit plus haut, qui ne présente pas les inconvénients de l'état de la technique.The object of the present invention is to propose a box spring device of the type described above, which does not have the drawbacks of the state of the art.

Pour atteindre ce but, le dispositif de sommier à lattes selon l'invention est caractérisé en ce qu'à l'état non relevé de la zone de dossier, les longerons correspondant des deux cadres de support des lattes sont axialement alignés et chaque longeron du second cadre prend appui sur une pièce d'appui allongée solidaire du longeron du premier cadre avec lequel il est aligné, de façon que la largeur des deux cadres soit sensiblement identique et que les lattes des deux cadres aient sensiblement la même longueur.To achieve this object, the slatted base device according to the invention is characterized in that in the non-raised state of the backrest area, the corresponding side members of the two support frames for the slats are axially aligned and each side member of the second frame is supported on an elongated support piece integral with the spar of the first frame with which it is aligned, so that the width of the two frames is substantially identical and that the slats of the two frames have substantially the same length.

Selon une autre caractéristique de l'invention, le dispositif de sommier à lattes selon l'invention comprend une partie de dossier automatiquement escamotable, qui est reliée au mécanisme de relevage de la zone de dossier et est déplaçable entre une position escamotée sous cette zone lorsque celle-ci n'est pas relevée et une position de constitution d'éléments de dossier dans l'espace entre les deux cadres lorsque la zone de dossier est relevée.According to another characteristic of the invention, the slatted base device according to the invention comprises an automatically retractable back portion, which is connected to the mechanism for lifting the back area and is movable between a retracted position under this area when the latter is not raised and a position for constituting backrest elements in the space between the two frames when the backrest area is raised.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres buts, caractéristiques, détails et avantages de celle-ci apparaîtront plus clairement au cours de la description explicative qui va suivre faite en référence aux dessins schématiques annexés donnés uniquement à titre d'exemple illustrant un mode de réalisation de l'invention et dans lesquels :The invention will be better understood and other objects, characteristics, details and advantages thereof will appear more clearly during the explanatory description which follows, made with reference to the appended schematic drawings given solely by way of example illustrating a mode of the invention and in which:

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective, avec arrachement partiel, d'un dispositif de sommier à lattes selon la présente invention.Figure 1 is a perspective view, partially broken away, of a slatted base device according to the present invention.

La figure 2 est une vue partielle en perspective, de la partie de dossier à l'état relevé, en direction de la flèche II de la figure 1.FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of the back part in the raised state, in the direction of arrow II in FIG. 1.

La figure 3 est une vue en perspective en direction de la flèche III de la figure 1 de la partie de dossier à un état de relevage intermédiaire.Figure 3 is a perspective view in the direction of arrow III in Figure 1 of the backrest part in an intermediate lifting state.

La figure 4 est une vue en élévation, en coupe partielle, en direction de la flèche IV, et avec arrachement partiel, du dispositif de sommier selon la figure 1 à l'état non relevé.Figure 4 is an elevational view, in partial section, in the direction of arrow IV, and with partial cutaway, of the box spring device according to Figure 1 in the non-raised state.

La figure 5 est une vue similaire à la figure 4 mais montrant le dispositif au début du processus de relevage de la zone de dossier.Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 4 but showing the device at the start of the process of raising the backrest area.

Sur les figures, les chiffres de référence 1, 2 et 3 désignent respectivement les pans du sommier et des premier et deuxièmes cadres de support de lattes. Les deux cadres constituent un agencement de dossier relevable, réalisé sous forme d'une double têtière télescopiquement allongeable dans la direction longitudinale du sommier lors du relevage du dispositif de dossier. Les lattes du dispositif de sommier sont indiquées en 4.In the figures, reference numerals 1, 2 and 3 respectively designate the sides of the bed base and the first and second slat support frames. The two frames constitute a liftable backrest arrangement, produced in the form of a double telescopically extendable headrest in the longitudinal direction of the bed base when the backrest device is raised. The slats of the box spring device are indicated in 4.

Le premier cadre de support 2 de lattes 4 présente la forme générale d'un U et comprend deux longerons 6 de section transversale sensiblement rectangulaire, qui s'étendent parallèlement aux pans longitudinaux 1 du sommier et sont reliés par une entretoise transversale 7. Les lattes 4 sont reliées aux longerons 6 par l'intermédiaire de blocs de fixation en matière souple 8, connus en soi, qui sont solidaires de la face latérale interne des longerons et présentent des logements dans lesquels s'engagent les extrémités des lattes 4.The first support frame 2 of slats 4 has the general shape of a U and comprises two longitudinal members 6 of substantially rectangular cross section, which extend parallel to the longitudinal sides 1 of the bed base and are connected by a transverse spacer 7. The slats 4 are connected to the side members 6 by means of fixing blocks made of flexible material 8, known per se, which are integral with the internal lateral face of the side members and have housings in which engage the ends of the slats 4.

Chaque longeron 6 du premier cadre 2 est articulé en 10, de façon pivotante, au niveau d'une extrémité au pan longitudinal 1 correspondant. Ainsi le cadre 2 peut pivoter en direction de la double flèche F1 entre une position de repos, non relevée, sensiblement horizontale à l'intérieur du cadre du sommier délimité par les pans 1 et une position relevée dans laquelle le cadre 2 sert d'élément de dossier ou de têtière inférieur.Each spar 6 of the first frame 2 is articulated at 10, pivotally, at one end to the corresponding longitudinal pan 1. Thus the frame 2 can pivot in the direction of the double arrow F1 between a rest position, not raised, substantially horizontal inside the frame of the box spring delimited by the panels 1 and a raised position in which the frame 2 serves as an element. lower backrest or headrest.

Le dispositif d'entraînement en pivotement du premier cadre de support 2 de lattes comprend un moteur 11 qui entraîne en rotation un arbre transversal 12 monté rotatif entre les deux pans longitudinaux 1 du sommier sur deux équerres 13 solidaires des pans 1. A chacune des extrémités de l'arbre 12 est fixé, par exemple par soudage, un bras de levier 15 dont l'extrémité libre porte une coiffe en matière plastique arrondie 16 qui est en appui sous la face inférieure du longeron 6 correspondant du cadre 2. Ainsi, une rotation de l'arbre 12 du moteur 11 provoque le pivotement de relevage dans la direction de la flèche F1 du cadre 2 par l'intermédiaire des bras 15.The device for pivoting the first support frame 2 of slats comprises a motor 11 which rotates a transverse shaft 12 rotatably mounted between the two longitudinal sections 1 of the bed base on two brackets 13 integral with the sections 1. At each of the ends of the shaft 12 is fixed, for example by welding, a lever arm 15 whose free end carries a rounded plastic cap 16 which is supported under the underside of the corresponding spar 6 of the frame 2. Thus, a rotation of the shaft 12 of the motor 11 causes the lifting pivoting in the direction of the arrow F1 of the frame 2 via the arms 15.

Le second cadre 3 présente également la forme générale d'un U et comprend deux longerons 18 de section transversale rectangulaire, reliés au niveau de leurs extrémités extérieure par une entretoise transversale 19. De la manière déjà décrit à l'occasion du cadre 2, des lattes 4 sont montées sur le cadre 3 par l'intermédiaire de blocs de fixation souples 8.The second frame 3 also has the general shape of a U and comprises two longitudinal members 18 of rectangular cross section, connected at their outer ends by a transverse spacer. 19. As already described in connection with frame 2, slats 4 are mounted on frame 3 by means of flexible fixing blocks 8.

Au deuxième cadre 3 est associé un dispositif d'entraînement à biellette 21 conçu de façon à imprimer au cadre 3 un mouvement de pivotement et télescopique par rapport au cadre 2, sous l'effet d'une rotation de l'arbre 12 en direction de la flèche F1. La structure du dispositif d'entraînement 21 sera décrit plus loin.The second frame 3 is associated with a rod drive device 21 designed so as to impart to the frame 3 a pivoting and telescopic movement relative to the frame 2, under the effect of a rotation of the shaft 12 in the direction of arrow F1. The structure of the drive device 21 will be described later.

Comme on le voit clairement sur les figures, les longerons 6 et 18 des deux cadres 2 et 3, qui sont situés du même côté du sommier, sont axialement alignés de façon que les deux cadres présentent sensiblement la même largeur et les lattes qu'ils supportent la même longueur. A cette fin chaque longeron 18 prend appui sur un profilé métallique en forme de cornière 23 qui est solidaire du longeron 6 et s'étend parallèlement au longeron 6 au-delà de l'extrémité libre de ce dernier. La partie en saillie du profilé 3 est indiquée par la référence 24. Chaque profilé est disposé de façon que ses ailes 25 et 26 s'étendent respectivement horizontalement et verticalement en s'ouvrant vers le haut et dans la direction du centre du sommier. Le longeron 6 est fixé par sa face longitudinale inférieure et par une partie de sa face longitudinale verticale extérieure respectivement aux ailes horizontale 25 et verticale 26. Le longeron 18 prend appui sur la face interne de l'aile horizontale 25 de la partie 24 du profilé 23, lorsque le dispositif de sommier se trouve dans sa position horizontale non relevée. Dans cette position les deux cadres 2 et 3 sont alignés dans la direction longitudinale du sommier et constituent un ensemble qui prend appui sur des butées 28 solidaires des faces intérieures des pans longitudinaux 1 du sommier. Il est encore à noter que, dans sa partie 24 axialement en saillie au-delà de l'extrémité du longeron 6, chaque profilé 23 comprend une aile supplémentaire 27 qui s'étend verticalement vers le bas à partir du bord libre de l'aile 25.As can clearly be seen in the figures, the longitudinal members 6 and 18 of the two frames 2 and 3, which are located on the same side of the bed base, are axially aligned so that the two frames have substantially the same width and the slats they support the same length. To this end each spar 18 is supported on a metal section in the form of an angle 23 which is integral with the spar 6 and extends parallel to the spar 6 beyond the free end of the latter. The projecting part of the section 3 is indicated by the reference 24. Each section is arranged so that its wings 25 and 26 extend respectively horizontally and vertically, opening upwards and in the direction of the center of the bed base. The spar 6 is fixed by its lower longitudinal face and by a portion of its vertical longitudinal face, respectively to the horizontal 25 and vertical wings 26. The spar 18 is supported on the internal face of the horizontal wing 25 of the part 24 of the profile 23, when the bed base device is in its horizontal position not raised. In this position the two frames 2 and 3 are aligned in the longitudinal direction of the bed base and constitute an assembly which bears on stops 28 integral with the internal faces of the panels 1 of the bed base. It should also be noted that, in its portion 24 axially projecting beyond the end of the beam 6, each section 23 comprises an additional wing 27 which extends vertically downward from the free edge of the wing 25.

On décrira ci-après le dispositif d'entraînement 21 du second cadre 3. Ce mécanisme d'entraînement comprend, associée à chaque côté du cadre, une biellette 30 qui est articulée à une extrémité au bras pivotant 15 du dispositif de relevage du cadre 2, près de la coiffe 16, en 31, et par son autre extrémité en 32 à une extrémité d'un levier coudé à deux bras 33 dont l'autre extrémité est articulée en 34 à une pièce métallique 35 fixée sur la face verticale interne du longeron correspondant 18 du deuxième cadre 3, qui s'étend le long du bord inférieur de ce longeron. L'articulation 34 se trouve au niveau de l'angle inférieur du côté du longeron 18 qui est adjacent au longeron 6. Le levier 33 est articulé en 37 au niveau de son coude à une plaque métallique 38 de forme générale rectangulaire, qui est fixée à l'aile verticale supplémentaire 27 du profilé de cornière 23, du côté de son extrémité libre. L'articulation 37 est située au niveau de l'angle inférieur adjacente au longeron 6 de la plaque. Au niveau de l'autre angle inférieur, c'est-à-dire en 40 est articulée une autre biellette 41 dont l'extrémité opposée est articulée en 42 à la pièce 35 solidaire du longeron 18. L'articulation 42 est décalée de l'articulation 34 en direction de l'extrémité libre du longeron. Les différentes biellettes et points d'articulation sont choisis de façon que le cadre 3 soit amené à pivoter par rapport au cadre 2 tout en effectuant un mouvement télescopique par rapport à ce cadre lorsque ce dernier pivote en direction de la flèche F1 sous l'effet du moteur 11.The drive device 21 of the second frame 3 will be described below. This drive mechanism comprises, associated with each side of the frame, a link 30 which is articulated at one end to the pivoting arm 15 of the device for lifting the frame 2 , near the cover 16, at 31, and by its other end at 32 at one end of a bent lever with two arms 33, the other end of which is articulated at 34 to a metal piece 35 fixed on the internal vertical face of the corresponding spar 18 of the second frame 3, which extends along the lower edge of this spar. The articulation 34 is located at the lower angle of the side of the side member 18 which is adjacent to the side member 6. The lever 33 is articulated at 37 at its elbow to a metal plate 38 of generally rectangular shape, which is fixed to the additional vertical wing 27 of the angle section 23, on the side of its free end. The articulation 37 is located at the lower angle adjacent to the beam 6 of the plate. At the other lower angle, that is to say at 40, another link 41 is articulated, the opposite end of which is articulated at 42 to the part 35 integral with the spar 18. The articulation 42 is offset from the hinge 34 towards the free end of the beam. The different links and articulation points are chosen so that the frame 3 is made to pivot relative to the frame 2 while carrying out a telescopic movement relative to this frame when the latter pivots in the direction of the arrow F1 under the effect motor 11.

Le mécanisme d'entraînement qui vient d'être décrit est connu en soi et le dimensionnement de ses composants est donc à la portée de l'homme de l'art. Etant donné que lors du relevage du dispositif de sommier, le cadre 3 s'éloigne du cadre 1, un espace se créé entre les deux où le matelas disposé sur les lattes n'est pas supporté. Pour remédier à cet inconvénient, le dispositif de sommier selon l'invention comprend une partie de dossier escamotable désignée de façon générale par le numéro de référence 45. Comme on le voit sur les figures, ce dispositif comprend deux plaques 46 de support de deux lattes 47 d'obstruction dudit espace, une plaque étant disposée au niveau de chaque côté du dispositif de dossier. Chaque plaque 46 est montée sur les extrémités internes des axes des articulations 32 et 37 du levier coudé 33, c'est-à-dire à l'articulation à laquelle est aussi reliée la biellette 30 et à celle située au niveau du coude du levier à deux bras 33.The drive mechanism which has just been described is known per se and the dimensioning of its components is therefore within the reach of those skilled in the art. Since when the bed base device is raised, the frame 3 moves away from the frame 1, a space is created between the two where the mattress disposed on the slats is not supported. To overcome this drawback, the box spring device according to the invention comprises a retractable back portion generally designated by the reference number 45. As can be seen in the figures, this device comprises two plates 46 for supporting two slats 47 obstructing said space, a plate being disposed at each side of the backrest device. Each plate 46 is mounted on the internal ends of the axes of the articulations 32 and 37 of the bent lever 33, that is to say to the articulation to which the connecting rod 30 is also connected and to that situated at the bend of the lever with two arms 33.

La plaque 46 est configurée de façon qu'elle soit escamotée avec ses lattes d'obstruction 47 sous le dispositif de dossier lorsque celui-ci occupe sa position non relevée, comme le montre les figures 4 et 5, et pivote, au fur et à mesure où le dossier est relevé en direction de la flèche F2 pour que ses lattes 47 se placent dans l'espace entre les lattes 4 des deux cadres 2 et 3 lorsque le dossier est relevé au maximum. Ce mouvement du dispositif 45 ressort clairement des figures 1 à 5 qui montrent le dossier dans différentes positions lors de son mouvement de relevage.The plate 46 is configured so that it is retracted with its obstructing slats 47 under the backrest device when the latter occupies its non-raised position, as shown in Figures 4 and 5, and pivots, as and measurement where the backrest is raised in the direction of arrow F2 so that its slats 47 are placed in the space between the slats 4 of the two frames 2 and 3 when the backrest is raised to the maximum. This movement of the device 45 is clearly shown in Figures 1 to 5 which show the backrest in different positions during its lifting movement.

Le fonctionnement du dispositif de sommier selon l'invention ressort déjà de la description de la structure, qui vient d'être faite, en se référant aux figures. Ainsi on comprend aisément que, lorsque l'on souhaite relever la partie de dossier, il suffit d'actionner le moteur 11 qui, en entraînant en rotation l'arbre 12, provoque le pivotement du cadre 2 en direction de la flèche F1, par l'intermédiaire des bras 15. Grâce au dispositif à biellette 21 qui est relié à la fois au bras pivotant 15 et au cadre 2, le second cadre 3 effectue son mouvement télescopique et de pivotement par rapport au premier cadre 2 en déplaçant en même temps en direction de la flèche 2 la partie de dossier escamotable 45 dans l'espace qui se créé entre les deux cadres 2 et 3 lors du relevage du dispositif de dossier.The operation of the box spring device according to the invention already emerges from the description of the structure, which has just been made, with reference to figures. Thus it is easily understood that, when it is desired to raise the back part, it suffices to activate the motor 11 which, by rotating the shaft 12, causes the frame 2 to pivot in the direction of the arrow F1, by through the arms 15. Thanks to the link device 21 which is connected both to the swivel arm 15 and to the frame 2, the second frame 3 performs its telescopic and pivoting movement relative to the first frame 2 by moving at the same time in the direction of arrow 2 the retractable backrest part 45 in the space which is created between the two frames 2 and 3 when the backrest device is raised.

Ainsi, l'espace entre les cadres 2 et3 est comblé et le matelas est supporté également entre les deux cadres lorsque le dossier est dans sa position relevée.Thus, the space between the frames 2 and 3 is filled and the mattress is also supported between the two frames when the backrest is in its raised position.

D'autre part, la disposition axialement alignée des deux cadres, à l'aide des profilés de cornière permet d'utiliser sur les deux cadres 2 et 3 des lattes de la même longueur. Les extrémités des lattes sont donc en alignement dans un même plan latéral.On the other hand, the axially aligned arrangement of the two frames, using the angle profiles allows the use of slats of the same length on the two frames 2 and 3. The ends of the slats are therefore aligned in the same lateral plane.
