Definitions

  • the invention relates to a deformable bed base at ergonomic profile with sleeping surfaces consist of a single support element which is flexible including at least the head and the foot can be lifted to take optimal shape for user comfort.
  • Known articulated bed bases in particular bed bases slatted, have a number of parts independent recliners that rotate relative to a fixed frame with respect to their neighboring parts and which allow the sleeping part to take desired inclinations depending on the position of relaxation sought.
  • the articulated parts are put in motion by one or more electric motors which change their orientation via connecting rods and pivoting levers.
  • the most common use of these box springs consists in raising the bust part, that is to say the head of the box so that the user is in semi-sitting position for example making it easier reading.
  • Each of these independent parts constitutes a rigid element of a sleeping plan and when certain of them are noted, it remains between the plans neighbors of inflections that affect the comfort of the bedding despite the presence of the mattress which reduces them.
  • EP-A-0 632 985 represents the state of the art on closer to the invention.
  • the Applicant has found a solution which consists in replace the known independent tilting parts, by a single flexible element which supports the mattress which extends over the entire length of the bed base, and which itself rests on lifting devices which are ergonomic profiles whose curvature corresponds to the optimal form sought for the relaxation of the body human.
  • the subject of the invention is therefore a deformable bed base at ergonomic profile including the bust part and / or the part leg-foot can be lifted to varying heights by articulated members operated by at least one motor, said box spring consisting of a flexible assembly serving as support for a mattress, which extends over the entire length of the box spring, and which rests on lifting members capable of maintain the flexible assembly at the desired height and with a continuous curvature with an ergonomic profile.
  • the lifting members of the flexible assembly consists of profiled supports whose upper face is rounded and pivoting arms bearing under the underside of said profiled supports lift them above a rigid base so that the flexible set is applied to them and follows their profile round.
  • the flexible assembly is formed of two bands flexible side panels between which slats extend rigid or flexible, engaged in fixed end caps of place in place on the bands, and which rest on a rigid base.
  • the flexible assembly is formed of two rigid link chains hinged together.
  • the flexible assembly is formed a single flexible surface covering the entire width of the bed, above which extend slats engaged in end pieces fixed to said flexible surface.
  • the profiled support of the bust part of the box spring has an ergonomic upper face of rounded shape with concavity facing upwards. He is wearing also two pins guided in a circular ramp to concavity facing upwards arranged near the center of the box spring, under its base.
  • the profiled support of the leg-foot part of the box spring has an ergonomically shaped upper face rounded, the first part of which is concavely turned upwards, followed by a concavity part facing the bottom.
  • the fixed frame 1 a bed, fitted with side angles extending over the whole the length of the chassis, which constitute the support base rigid 2 of the deformable base.
  • the latter consists of two flexible side bands 3 which, in the position shown in Figure 1 rest horizontally on the base 2. On these strips are fixed from place to place at regular intervals or not of the ends 4 intended for receive transverse slats not shown on which rests the mattress.
  • a larger slat 14 width is additionally provided between the strips 3 at each end.
  • the chest part of the box spring is shown in left of the figures and the leg-foot part is on the right.
  • a circular ramp 5 AT proximity to the center of the base under each angle forming the base 2 is fixed a circular ramp 5 whose concavity is facing up.
  • the ramp is dug laterally of a channel 6 serving as a guide for two lugs 7 mounted at the end of a profiled support 8 which develops under the base to the left end of the box spring (figure 1).
  • the circular ramp and the lugs could also use any other system capable of creating virtually (connecting rod system ..) or actually an axis hinge.
  • said section 8 has a very ergonomic, concave, rounded upper face turned upwards.
  • profiled support which is therefore below the strip flexible 3, and a fixed slat 9 connects the end of each profiles.
  • control bar 10 driven in rotation by a motor lever 11 under the action of a motor not shown.
  • a arm 12 terminated by a roller 13 which bears under the profile support 8.
  • the motor turns the bar 10 which gradually raises the arms 12.
  • the rollers 13 provide lifting the profiled supports 8; this movement of pivoting causes the movement of the pins 7 to the interior of the channel 6 to the extreme position shown in FIG. 2. Due to the circular ramp 5, the pivoting movement of each profile support 8 is completed by a longitudinal sliding thereof in headboard direction.
  • the fixed slat 9 then protrudes from the slat end 14 of the bands 3, which avoids the overflow of the mattress with respect to the box spring.
  • the leg-foot part visible on the right of the figures also has ergonomic supports 15 whose profile differs significantly from profile 8 in that it shows a first part AB with concavity turned upwards followed by a downwardly concavity BC part. These two parts correspond respectively to the support of user's thighs and feet.
  • Profile support 15 visible in FIG. 1 in the erased position under the base can pivot around a fixed horizontal axis 16 located substantially in the middle of the chassis near the ramp circular 5. Said profiled support rests by its face lower on a roller 17 mounted at the end of a pivoting arm 18 rotated by a cross bar of control 19, also operated by a motor lever 20.
  • the lifting of the support ergonomic 15 causes the displacement of the flexible strip 3 correspondent who will marry his profile as we see in Figure 2.
  • pivoting parts previously described are advantageously arranged on both sides of the base so to act simultaneously on the two lateral flexible bands 3.
  • the flexible bands 3 are replaced by rigid links articulated between them a bit like a chain of bicycle.
  • the ends of the transverse slats are fixed from place to place on the links.
  • These link chains conform to the profile of the ergonomic supports, completely like flexible tapes.
  • the user can obviously adjust to his suitability and independently the bust part and the part deformable box-leg.
  • the box spring will always be supported on parts rounded with no inflection which improves comfort clearly.
  • Figures 3 and 4 illustrate a variant of realization of the leg-foot part of the box spring.
  • a first pivoting lever 21 is rotated by a control crossbar 22. It carries at its end a roller 23 which bears directly under the strip flexible 3.
  • a second pivoting lever 24 is articulated in a axis 25 on the end of the strip 3, and can rotate around a fixed point 26 secured to the chassis. The ends of two levers 21, 24 bent at their pivots are interconnected by a return rod 27.
  • the cases described above are relate to mechanisms in which the flexible element supporting the mattress is formed by two bands flexible side panels.
  • these bands could be replaced by a single flexible surface that would cover the entire width of the bed.
  • the end pieces 4 would for example be stapled to the sides of said surface.
  • the lifting bodies would remain advantageously located on the sides of the bed.
  • This flexible surface has the advantage, in particular, of hiding the mechanisms arranged on the chassis.
