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.
Description
L'invention se rapporte à un sommier déformable à profil ergonomique dont les plans de couchage sont constitués d'un unique élément support qui est souple dont au moins la tête et le pied sont relevables pour prendre une forme optimale en vue du confort de l'utilisateur.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.
Les sommiers articulés connus, notamment les sommiers à lattes, comportent un certain nombre parties indépendantes inclinables qui pivotent par rapport à un cadre fixe par rapport à leurs parties voisines et qui permettent à la partie couchage de prendre des inclinaisons voulues en fonction de la position de relaxation recherchée. Les parties articulées sont mises en mouvement par un ou des moteurs électriques qui modifient leur orientation par l'intermédiaire de bielles et de leviers pivotants. L'usage le plus courant de ces sommiers consiste à relever la partie buste, c'est-à-dire la tête du sommier pour que l'utilisateur se trouve en position semi-assise lui facilitant par exemple la lecture.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.
Chacune de ces parties indépendantes constitue un élément rigide d'un plan de couchage et quand certaines d'entre elles sont relevées, il subsiste entre les plans voisins des inflexions qui nuisent au confort de la literie malgré la présence du matelas qui les atténue.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.
Il est apparent que la forme optimale que l'on puisse donner à un sommier pour un meilleur confort de l'utilisateur, serait une forme continue, sans lignes brisées, qui épouserait les lignes du corps humain quel que soit le degré de levage de la tête ou du pied de lit.It is apparent that the optimal form that we can give a box spring for better comfort the user, would be a continuous form, without lines broken, which would fit the lines of the human body what regardless of the degree of lifting of the head or footboard.
EP-A-0 632 985 représente l'état de la technique le plus proche de l'invention.EP-A-0 632 985 represents the state of the art on closer to the invention.
La Demanderesse a trouvé une solution qui consiste à remplacer les parties inclinables indépendantes connues, par un unique élément souple servant de support au matelas qui s'étend sur toute la longueur du sommier, et qui repose lui-même sur des organes de relevage qui sont des profilés ergonomiques dont la courbure correspond à la forme optimale recherchée pour la relaxation du corps humain.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.
L'invention a donc pour objet un sommier déformable à profil ergonomique dont la partie buste et/ou la partie jambe-pied est relevable à des hauteurs variables par des organes articulés manoeuvrés par au moins un moteur, ledit sommier étant constitué d'un ensemble souple servant de support à un matelas, qui s'étend sur toute la longueur du sommier, et qui repose sur des organes de relevage aptes à maintenir l'ensemble souple à la hauteur voulue et avec une courbure continue à profil ergonomique.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.
Selon l'invention, les organes de relevage de l'ensemble souple sont constitués de supports profilés dont la face supérieure est arrondie et des bras pivotants en appui sous la face inférieure desdits supports profilés les soulèvent au-dessus d'un socle rigide pour que l'ensemble souple s'applique sur eux et épouse leur profil arrondi.According to the invention, 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.
Selon une caractéristique particulière de l'invention, l'ensemble souple est formé de deux bandes latérales flexibles entre lesquelles s'étendent des lattes rigides ou souples, engagées dans des embouts fixés de place en place sur les bandes, et qui reposent sur un socle rigide.According to a particular characteristic of the invention, 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.
En variante, l'ensemble souple est formé de deux chaínes à maillons rigides articulés entre eux.Alternatively, the flexible assembly is formed of two rigid link chains hinged together.
Selon une autre variante, l'ensemble souple est formé d'une unique surface souple couvrant toute la largeur du lit, au-dessus de la quelle s'étendent des lattes engagées dans des embouts fixés à ladite surface souple.According to another variant, 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.
Avantageusement le support profilé de la partie buste du sommier présente une face supérieure ergonomique de forme arrondie à concavité tournée vers le haut. Il porte aussi deux ergots guidés dans une rampe circulaire à concavité tournée vers le haut disposée à proximité du centre du sommier, sous son socle. On peut aussi utiliser tout autre système capable de créer virtuellement ou réellement un axe d'articulation.Advantageously 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. We can also use any other system capable of creating virtually or actually an axis of articulation.
Selon une autre caractéristique particulière de l'invention, le support profilé de la partie jambe-pied du sommier présente une face supérieure ergonomique de forme arrondie dont une première partie est à concavité tournée vers le haut, suivie d'une partie à concavité tournée vers le bas.According to another particular characteristic of the invention, 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.
D'autres particularités et
avantages de l'invention ressortiront de la description
suivante d'une exemple de réalisation qui doit être
considéré de façon non limitative et qui fait référence aux
dessins annexés qui représentent :
On voit sur les figures 1 et 2 le châssis fixe 1
d'un lit, équipé de cornières latérales s'étendant sur toute
la longueur du châssis, qui constituent le socle-support
rigide 2 du sommier déformable. Ce dernier est constitué de
deux bandes latérale flexibles 3 qui, dans la position
représentée à la figure 1 reposent horizontalement sur le
socle 2. Sur ces bandes sont fixés de place en place à
intervalles réguliers ou non des embouts 4 destinés à
recevoir des lattes transversales non représentées sur
lesquelles repose le matelas. Une latte 14 de plus grande
largeur est en outre prévue entre les bandes 3 à chaque
extrémité.We see in Figures 1 and 2 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
La partie buste du sommier est représentée à
gauche des figures et la partie jambe-pied est à droite. A
proximité du centre du sommier sous chaque cornière formant
le socle 2 est fixée une rampe circulaire 5 dont la
concavité est tournée vers le haut. La rampe est creusée
latéralement d'une rigole 6 servant de guide à deux ergots 7
montés à l'extrémité d'un support profilé 8 qui se développe
sous le socle jusqu'à l'extrémité gauche du sommier (figure
1). En variante de la rampe circulaire et des ergots, on
pourrait aussi utiliser tout autre système capable de créer
virtuellement (système de bielles..) ou réellement un axe
d'articulation.The chest part of the box spring is shown in
left of the figures and the leg-foot part is on the right. AT
proximity to the center of the base under each angle forming
the
On remarquera que ledit profilé 8 présente une
face supérieure arrondie très ergonomique à concavité
tournée vers le haut. Il y a de chaque côté du lit un tel
support profilé qui se trouve donc au-dessous de la bande
flexible 3, et une latte fixe 9 relie l'extrémité de chacun
des profilés.It will be noted that said
Par ailleurs, sur le châssis fixe est montée
transversalement une barre de commande 10 entraínée en
rotation par un levier moteur 11 sous l'action d'un moteur
non représenté.Furthermore, on the fixed frame is mounted
transversely a
Sur chaque extrémité de la barre 10 est fixé un
bras 12 terminé par un galet 13 qui prend appui sous le
support profilé 8.On each end of the
Lorsque l'utilisateur veut assurer le relevage de
la partie buste, le moteur fait tourner la barre 10 qui
relève progressivement les bras 12. Les galets 13 assurent
le relevage des supports profilés 8 ; ce mouvement de
pivotement entraíne le déplacement des ergots 7 à
l'intérieur de la rigole 6 jusqu'à la position extrême
représentée à la figure 2. Du fait de la rampe circulaire 5,
le mouvement de pivotement de chaque support profilé 8 est
complété par un coulissement longitudinal de celui-ci en
direction de la tête de lit.When the user wants to ensure the lifting of
the bust part, the motor turns the

d'extrémité 14 des bandes 3, ce qui permet d'éviter le
débordement du matelas par rapport au sommier.The fixed slat 9 then protrudes from the
Au fur et à mesure de la rotation des supports
profilés 8 qui sont des pièces rigides, les bandes flexibles
s'appliquent sur ces supports et épousent leur profil
arrondi. Quel que soit le degré de relevage le buste de
l'utilisateur est parfaitement maintenu grâce à la forme
arrondie du sommier et du matelas qu'il supporte. Durant ce
mouvement les galets 13 roulent sous les parties inférieures
desdits profilés.As the supports
La partie jambe-pied visible à droite des figures
dispose également de supports ergonomiques 15 dont le profil
diffère sensiblement du profil 8 dans la mesure où il montre
une première partie AB à concavité tournée vers le haut
suivie d'une partie BC à concavité tournée vers le bas. Ces
deux parties correspondent à l'appui respectivement des
cuisses et des pieds de l'utilisateur. Le support profilé 15
visible à la figure 1 en position effacée sous le socle,
peut pivoter autour d'un axe fixe horizontal 16 localisé
sensiblement au milieu du châssis près de la rampe
circulaire 5. Ledit support profilé repose par sa face
inférieure sur un galet 17 monté en bout d'un bras pivotant
18 entraíné en rotation par une barre transversale de
commande 19, également manoeuvrée par un levier moteur 20.The leg-foot part visible on the right of the figures
also has
Comme pour la partie buste, le relevage du support
ergonomique 15 entraíne le déplacement de la bande flexible

à la figure 2.As for the bust part, the lifting of the support

avantageusement disposées des deux côtés du sommier de façon
à agir simultanément sur les deux bandes flexibles latérales

bandes flexibles 3 sont remplacées par des maillons rigides
articulés entre eux un peu à la manière d'une chaíne de
bicyclette. Les embouts des lattes transversales sont fixés
de place en place sur les maillons. Ces chaínes à maillons
épousent le profil des supports ergonomiques, tout à fait
comme les bandes flexibles.As an alternative embodiment not shown, the
L'utilisateur peut bien évidemment régler à sa convenance et indépendamment la partie buste et la partie jambe-pied du sommier déformable.The user can obviously adjust to his suitability and independently the bust part and the part deformable box-leg.
Quelle que soit la hauteur donnée aux supports profilés, le sommier sera toujours en appui sur des parties arrondies ne présentant pas d'inflexion ce qui améliore nettement le confort. Whatever the height given to the supports profiles, the box spring will always be supported on parts rounded with no inflection which improves comfort clearly.
Les figures 3 et 4 illustrent une variante de réalisation de la partie jambe-pied du sommier.Figures 3 and 4 illustrate a variant of realization of the leg-foot part of the box spring.
Le support ergonomique précèdent est remplacé par
des leviers de commande qui exercent une précontrainte sur
la bande flexible. Dans le cas représenté il y en a deux. Un
premier levier pivotant 21 est entraíné en rotation par une
barre transversale de commande 22. Il porte à son extrémité
un galet 23 qui vient en appui directement sous la bande
flexible 3. Un second levier pivotant 24 s'articule selon un
axe 25 sur l'extrémité de la bande 3, et peut tourner autour
d'un point fixe 26 solidaire du châssis. Les extrémités des
deux leviers 21, 24 coudées au niveau de leurs pivots sont
reliées entre elles par une bielle de renvoi 27.The previous ergonomic support is replaced by
control levers which exert prestress on
the flexible band. In the case shown there are two. A
Dans la position de la figure 3 les leviers
pivotants se trouvent au-dessous du socle support rigide 2
sur lequel repose la bande flexible 3.In the position of figure 3 the levers
swivels are located below the
Dès qu'on fait agir le moteur dans le sens d'une
rotation de la barre de commande 22, le levier pivotant 21
va soulever par son galet 23 la bande flexible qui
s'infléchit vers le haut. Du fait de la bielle de renvoi 27,
le mouvement se transmet à l'autre levier pivotant 24 qui
soulève également l'extrémité de la bande flexible. Mais
celle-ci étant solidaire du levier par l'axe 25 subira une
contrainte qui va se traduire par une courbure entre son
extrémité et le galet 23 comme on le voit clairement à la
figure 4. La précontrainte exercée entre ces deux points
d'appui maintiendra la cambrure arrondie de la bande
flexible donnant ainsi à la partie jambe-pied du sommier un
profil ergonomique équivalent à celui obtenu avec le support
précédemment décrit.As soon as the engine is operated in the direction of a
rotation of the
Les cas de figure décrits précédemment se
rapportent à des mécanismes dans lesquels l'élément souple
servant de support au matelas est formé de deux bandes
latérales flexibles. En variante de réalisation non
représentée, ces bandes pourraient être remplacées par une
unique surface souple qui couvrirait toute la largeur du
lit. Les embouts 4 seraient par exemple agrafés sur les
côtés de ladite surface. Les organes relevages resteraient
avantageusement localisés sur les côtés du lit. Cette
surface souple présente l'avantage, notamment, d'occulter
les mécanismes disposés sur le châssis.The cases described above are

shown, these bands could be replaced by a
single flexible surface that would cover the entire width of the
bed. The
