- - Figure 9 is a diagram showing another way of holding the device on a bed.
- a device 1 for tilting the headboard is installed on a bed 2 comprising a bed base 3 and a mattress 4.
- the bed base 3 is of any type, which can be either springs or slats or even simpler still. Is shown in Figure 1 the head of the bed 2.
- the device 1 comprises two support means or chassis articulated one on the other.
- the first of said support means is constituted by a sleeping frame formed by a housing 7, of elongated parallelepiped shape, and by two lateral tubes 9, starting from one and the other end of said housing. , with respect to which they extend perpendicularly.
- the two tubes 9 extend in the same support plane and are intended to rest on the bed base 3 as seen in FIG. 1.
- the underside of the housing 7 extends in the support plane of the two tubes 9. In this way, the device 1 can be used for lifting and tilting a mattress directly placed on the ground.
- the second support means of the device 1 comprises a movable frame in the form of a frame 5, pivotally mounted, at one of its sides 6, between the free ends of the two tubes 9, as seen in FIG. 1 .
- the dormant and mobile chassis of the device 1 extend along two support planes forming an adjustable opening V.
- the interior of the frame 5 is free or constituted by a lattice of metal wires (not shown) adapted to support the mattress.
- this assembly forms a support plane adapted to maintain one end of the mattress in an inclined position relative to the rest of said mattress which extends horizontally.
- this shaft 1 4 extends on either side of the engine, said shaft 14 carrying at its ends two pinions 1 3.
- Each of these pinions 1 3 is engaged with a pinion 1 2 located at the end of a worm 1 1 housed inside the side tube 9 located on the corresponding side.
- FIG. 2 shows an alternative embodiment according to which the bedding head tilting device always comprises two chassis, one consisting of two lateral tubes 9 and the other of the frame 5.
- the motor 22 controlling the spacing of these frames is no longer between the two tubes 9 but against one of these tubes, its shaft 21 extending parallel to the latter, as seen in Figure 2.
- This motor 22, s extending outside the box spring 3 along one of the lateral sides of the latter, comprises, at the end of its shaft 21 a pinion
- a third alternative embodiment, shown in FIG. 3, makes it possible to simultaneously control the inclinations of the foot and of the bedding head.
- the part of the device intervening at the head of the bed can be that corresponding to the first or to the second embodiment which have just been described, with the difference that the worms 11 are extended towards the foot of the bed by shafts 31 leaving of housings 30 to which said screws 1 1 lead, as seen in FIG. 3.
- a shoe 32 which controls a lever 23 acting on a second movable frame 24, one side of which is pivotally mounted between side members 25 extending the tubes 9, and inside of which the trees are housed 31.
- a device 101 consists of a dormant frame formed by two lateral tubes 109, of rectangular section here, intended to rest on the bed base, and of a movable frame formed a U-shaped frame 105 pivotally mounted on and between the tubes 109 of the sleeping frame, by means of articulation pins 1 35.
- each shoe 1 10 Inside each of the tubes 109 slides a movable shoe 1 10 whose movement is controlled by the corresponding worm 1 1 1; each shoe 1 10 has, Figure 7, an axis 148 which passes through a slot 147, formed in the outer wall of the tube 109, and around which is articulated a lever 108; at its other end, each of the levers 108 ends in a curved part 1 34 at a right angle by which it is mounted articulated on the frame 105, said curved part 1 34 taking place in a sheath 149 secured to the frame 1 05, for example by welding.
- each worm 1 1 1 is provided at its end with a pinion 1 1 2 which each meshes with a pinion 1 1 7 carried by a transverse shaft 1 1 8; the transverse shaft 1 1 8 is further provided at one of its ends with a pinion 1 1 9 which meshes with the pinion 1 20 of the shaft 1 21 of a motor 1 22 placed outside the device in parallel to a side tube 109.
- the ends of the worms 1 1 1 and the pinions 1 1 2 which they carry, on the one hand, and the end parts of the transverse shaft 1 1 8 and the pinions 1 1 7 that they carry, on the other hand, are supported by casings 1 37 and 1 38 placed at the end of the side tubes 109 to which they are secured; the ends of the worms 1 1 1, opposite those which carry the pinions 1 1 2, are carried by centering bearings 1 51 housed inside the lateral tubes 1 09 of which they match the internal quadrangular section; advantageously said casings 1 37 and 138 are connected by a transverse tube 1 36 which crosses the transverse shaft 1 1 8; the motor 122 and the pinions 1 1 9 and 1 20 are placed in a housing 141 integral with the adjacent lateral tube 1 09 and the casing 1 37 by means of a bottom plate 1 50.
- the housing 141 and the casings 1 37, 1 38 protect the outside of the various pinions and the grease they contain to ensure their longevity.
- the dimensions of the parts are such that the casings 1 37 and 1 38 are constituted by end extensions of the side tubes 109 associated with end caps.
- the device 101 which has just been described comprises a control means 1 22-1 20-1 1 9-1 1 7-1 1 1 -1 1 8 completely freeing the interior of the perimeter defined by the frame ; moreover, the completely horizontal position can be obtained: the frame 105 fits inside the perimeter of the sleeping frame defined by the side tubes 1 09 and the transverse tube 1 36, as shown partially by the dashed lines in the figure 5, so that in the position of the completely horizontal frames, these are flush with the same plane, such as the plane P in FIG. 6.
- the frame 105 can carry elastic straps for supporting the mattress, such as the straps 1 46 of FIG. 4.
- the control is motorized: it is understood that the same advantages are obtained with a manual control; thus, for example, the pinions being secured in rotation with the shafts which carry them by end flats, such as the flats 1 39, 140 of the shafts 1 1 8, 1 21 receiving the pinions 1 1 9, 1 20, just delete the motor 1 22 and the pinions 1 1 9, 120 and to drive the pinions 1 1 7 by making cooperate a crank with the flats 139 of the transverse shaft 1 1 8.
- Figure 8 is similar to Figure 6 but shows a variant of lever articulation: here, the lever 208 is straight, without a curved part such as 134, and is directly articulated on the end of a support for an axis 1 33 fixed to the frame 105.
- fixing means can be provided to hold the device on the bed base. These are then fixing means adapted to conventional type box springs not specially designed to accommodate the device.
- Such fastening means may, for example, include self-drilling screws, in particular in the case of wooden bed bases, cooperating with fixing lugs carried by the transverse tube 1 36, for example, such as lugs 142, 143 of the figure 4.
- this means consists of a flexible transverse strip 144 connecting the ends of extensions 1 53 of the side tubes 109; these extensions
- the device is held in place by an elastic strap 145 which circles around below the bed base 3 and is coupled at its ends to the lateral tubes 109 by hooks 1 52.
