Description

Les sommiers traditionnels à base de fils métalliques tressés et des ressorts en tant que moyens de support pour le matelas dans les lits, ont l'inconvénient consistant en ce qu'avec l'usage, les fils perdent leur raideur et les ressorts s'étirent, en faisant en sorte que le milieu du lit se creuse en entraínant des problèmes d'inconfort et de déformations de la colonne vertébrale dont les usagers peuvent souffrir en conséquence.Traditional box springs made from thread braided metal and springs as means support for the mattress in the beds, have the disadvantage that with use, wires lose their stiffness and the springs stretch, causing the middle of the bed to hollow out causing problems of discomfort and deformation of the spine which users can suffer as a result.

Pour résoudre ce problème, on a développé des solutions de différentes natures, en recourant par exemple à l'incorporation de planches rigides ou à la réalisation du support à base de lames semi-flexibles faites de matières spéciales, ce par quoi on tombe dans d'autres inconvénients d'inconfort et de prix élevé ; en outre, ces solutions ne s'appliquent que pour la disposition de matelas d'une consistance et d'une épaisseur déterminées mais non pas, par exemple, pour les matelas en mousse molle et de faible épaisseur, du fait que la faible capacité d'absorption de ces matelas a pour effet qu'avec ces moyens de support, on constate un inconfort excessif.To solve this problem, we have developed solutions of different natures, using example of incorporating rigid planks or production of the support based on semi-flexible blades made of special materials, which you fall into other disadvantages of discomfort and high price; furthermore, these solutions only apply for the mattress layout of a consistency and a thickness determined but not, for example, for soft, thin foam mattresses, the low absorption capacity of these mattresses has the effect that with these support means, there is excessive discomfort.

Une solution pratique à ce sujet a consisté dans la réalisation de sommiers à matelas intégré, mais l'utilisation de ces sommiers seuls est à son tour mal commode parce que, généralement, on les utilise avec un matelas additionnel incorporé par dessus, ce qui fait que le lit prend un aspect très volumineux et peu esthétique.A practical solution to this has been to the production of box springs with integrated mattresses, but the use of these box springs alone is in turn wrong convenient because usually they are used with a additional mattress incorporated on top, which makes that the bed takes on a very bulky appearance and little aesthetic.

Le document FR-A-2 331 984 décrit un cadre pouvant servir de sommier sur lequel des bandes en matière plastique sont tendues autour des éléments formant le cadre suivant deux directions, les extrémités de chaque bande étant fixées l'une à l'autre par soudage. Toutefois, ce type de sommier est inconfortable du fait qu'il procure un soutien non uniforme ce qui entraine sa déformation dans les zones les plus sollicitées. Document FR-A-2 331 984 describes a framework which can serve as a box spring on which strips of material plastic are stretched around the elements forming the frame in two directions, the ends of each strip being fixed to each other by welding. However, this type of box spring is uncomfortable because that it provides non-uniform support which leads to its deformation in the most stressed areas.

Selon la présente invention, on propose maintenant un nouveau sommier dont la réalisation structurale est prévue conforme à des caractéristiques constructives et fonctionnelles qui le rendent particulièrement avantageux, en résolvant les problèmes précités d'une façon efficace et pratique.According to the present invention, we now propose a new box spring whose structural realization is planned in accordance with constructive characteristics and that make it particularly advantageous, by solving the aforementioned problems of a efficiently and conveniently.

Ce sommier objet de l'invention est essentiellement constitué par un bâti structural, de préférence en profilé tubulaire métallique, recouvert d'un ensemble de bandes réalisées en matière synthétique, lesdites bandes étant disposées en montage individuel de manière tendue en enserrant le bâti, avec fermeture par recouvrement et soudage thermique des extrémités. Selon l'invention, ce sommier se caractérise en ce que les bandes sont réalisées dans une matière hautement résistante à la déformation, mais possédant une certaine élasticité et en ce que pour la plupart, les bandes sont disposées dans la direction transversale du bâti, placées de façon consécutive les unes à la suite des autres en formant une superficie continue qui couvre totalement la surface intérieure délimitée par le bâti, tandis que dans la direction longitudinale sont disposées quelques bandes de façon plus espacée, lesquelles se retrouvent entrelacées avec les bandes transversales, pour assurer le maintien de l'ensemble.This box spring object of the invention is essentially constituted by a structural frame, preferably in metallic tubular profile, covered a set of strips made of material synthetic, said strips being arranged in assembly individual in a taut manner by enclosing the frame, with closing by covering and thermal welding of extremities. According to the invention, this box spring characterized in that the strips are produced in a material highly resistant to deformation, but having a certain elasticity and in that for the most of the bands are arranged in the direction transverse of the frame, placed consecutively the one after the other, forming an area continuous which completely covers the interior surface delimited by the frame, while in the longitudinal direction are arranged a few bands more spaced apart, which are intertwined with the bands transverse, to ensure the maintenance of the whole.

On obtient ainsi un sommier qui offre une surface continue mais avec une certaine élasticité, ce qui en fait un support approprié pour tous les types de matelas, y compris pour les matelas minces et de faible consistance, du fait que leurs déficiences de moelleux et de rigidité sont parfaitement compensées par les caractéristiques propres dudit sommier.We thus obtain a box spring which offers a surface continues but with a certain elasticity, which makes a suitable support for all types of mattresses, including for thin and weak mattresses consistency, from the fact that their softness deficiencies and rigidity are perfectly compensated by the specific characteristics of said box spring.

L'absence de creux superficiels dans le sommier a pour effet que les matelas restent protégés des déformations localisées qui pourraient parvenir à les détériorer ; tandis que l'indéformabilité de la surface d'appui procure un confort invariable pour l'utilisation ainsi que des conditions optimales de salubrité.The absence of surface hollows in the bed base has so that the mattresses remain protected from localized deformations which could reach them deteriorate ; while the undeformability of the surface support provides invariable comfort for use as well as optimal conditions of healthiness.

De cette façon, ce sommier objet de l'invention possède certainement des caractéristiques très avantageuses, et acquiert ainsi en soi une existence propre et un caractère préférable en ce qui concerne la fonction de support de matelas à laquelle il est destiné.In this way, this box spring object of the invention certainly has very advantageous, and thus acquires in itself an existence clean and preferable in regards to the mattress support function to which it is intended.

  • L'objet de l'invention se rapporte à un sommier de support pour les matelas dans les lits, lequel est constitué par un bâti (1), de préférence réalisé en tube métallique, par exemple en acier.The object of the invention relates to a box spring support for the mattresses in the beds, which is consisting of a frame (1), preferably made of metal tube, for example steel.

    Sur ce bâti (1), est monté un ensemble de bandes (2) en matière synthétique, lesquelles sont disposées individuellement autour du bâti (1) en l'enserrant. Pour la majeure partie, les bandes (2) sont disposées dans la direction transversale, en formant ainsi les unes à la suite des autres une fermeture superficielle continue, tandis que certaines bandes (2), plus espacées, sont disposées de façon entrelacée dans la direction longitudinale, en assurant le maintien de l'ensemble, et en aidant à former un tissu homogène, voir figures 5 et 7.On this frame (1), is mounted a set of bands (2) made of synthetic material, which are arranged individually around the frame (1) by enclosing it. For the most part, the bands (2) are arranged in the transverse direction, thus forming the one after the other a superficial closure continues, while some bands (2), more spaced apart, are intertwined in the longitudinal direction, ensuring the maintenance of the whole, and helping to form a homogeneous tissue, see Figures 5 and 7.

    Ces bandes (2) sont fabriquées en une matière possédant des caractéristiques spéciales de résistance à la déformation et, en même temps, une certaine élasticité, ce qui évite que la surface du sommier ne prenne une déformation permanente à l'usage, comme le classique approfondissement central qui se produit habituellement dans les sommiers traditionnels ; tandis que, d'un autre côté, la surface d'appui recevant le matelas offre une flexibilité qui rend l'utilisation plus commode qu'avec les planches rigides qu'on a l'habitude d'utiliser dans de nombreux cas.These bands (2) are made of a material having special strength characteristics to deformation and, at the same time, some elasticity, which prevents the surface of the bed base from take a permanent deformation in use, as the classic central deepening that occurs usually in traditional box springs; while that, on the other hand, the bearing surface receiving the mattress provides flexibility that makes use more convenient than the rigid planks we have used to use in many cases.

    Selon un exemple de réalisation particulier, qui n'est pas limitatif, les bandes (2) précitées sont formées par extrusion linéaire et sont prévues avec une dimension de 12 millimètres en largeur et 0,50 millimètre en épaisseur, le nombre de ces bandes étant variable en fonction des dimensions du sommier dans chaque cas, et on a obtenu de bons résultats avec une réalisation d'un sommier pour un lit du type dit lit double, c'est-à-dire de 190 centimètres par 140 centimètres, dans laquelle le bâti (1) est entouré dans la direction transversale par environ 150 bandes (2) tandis qu'on dispose de l'ordre de 10 à 12 bandes (2) dans la direction longitudinale, entrelacées avec les premières.According to a particular embodiment, which is not limiting, the aforementioned bands (2) are formed by linear extrusion and are provided with a dimension of 12 millimeters in width and 0.50 millimeter in thickness, the number of these strips being variable depending on the dimensions of the box spring in each case, and we got good results with a production of a box spring for a bed type double, i.e. 190 cm by 140 centimeters, in which the frame (1) is surrounded in transverse direction by approximately 150 bands (2) while we have around 10 to 12 bands (2) in the longitudinal direction, intertwined with the raw.

    L'incorporation de ces bandes (2) s'effectue de manière individuelle, en montage au moyen d'une machine spéciale qui les tend et les coupe, en soudant en supplément la fermeture de chaque bande, par thermo-soudage des extrémités respectives disposées à recouvrement, de sorte qu'on obtient dans l'assemblage une résistance pratiquement égale à celle existant dans le reste de la bande.The incorporation of these bands (2) is carried out individually, in assembly by means of a machine special which tightens and cuts them, welding in supplement the closing of each strip, by thermo-welding respective ends disposed at overlap, so you get in the assembly a resistance practically equal to that existing in the rest of the tape.

    A titre d'exemple, mais sans caractère limitatif, les caractéristiques particulières des bandes (2) précitées peuvent être : une résistance à la rupture d'entre 140 et 160 kilogrammes, et un allongement approximatif de 4 % sous 50 kilogrammes de tension et de 8 % sous 100 kilogrammes de tension.By way of example, but without limitation, the special characteristics of the bands (2) aforementioned can be: resistance to rupture between 140 and 160 kilograms, and an extension approximately 4% under 50 kilograms of voltage and 8% under 100 kilograms of tension.

    Ces bandes (2) se montent sur le bâti (1) en exerçant une tension permanente, de l'ordre de 15 à 18 kilogrammes pour chaque bande (2) sur le bâti (1), de sorte que ce dernier doit supporter de façon constante une pression qui est la somme des efforts de la tension de montage de tout l'ensemble des bandes (2) incorporées, à quoi on doit ajouter en utilisation la tension complémentaire que produit le poids de la personne ou des personnes qui l'utilise(nt).These bands (2) are mounted on the frame (1) in exerting a permanent tension, of the order of 15 to 18 kilograms for each strip (2) on the frame (1), of so that the latter must endure constantly a pressure which is the sum of the stresses of the tension for mounting all of the bands (2) incorporated, to which we must add in use the additional tension produced by the weight of the person or people who use it.

    Le bâti (1) doit donc être construit en un profilé suffisamment résistant pour supporter les efforts précités sans se déformer.The frame (1) must therefore be constructed in a profile strong enough to withstand the stresses above without deforming.

    Dans ses zones angulaires, le bâti (1) peut être muni d'équerres (3) qui, en supplément de contribuer au raidissement structural, peuvent servir aussi de moyens d'ancrage pour la fixation de pieds.In its angular zones, the frame (1) can be fitted with brackets (3) which, in addition to contributing to structural stiffening, can also serve as means anchor for fixing feet.

    Selon les données précédentes, le bâti (1) lui-même doit supporter, du fait que l'action des bandes (2), une pression constante de l'ordre de 2 500 kilogrammes. A ceci doit s'ajouter le poids des personnes qui vont reposer sur le bâti (1), ce qui augmente légèrement la pression des bandes (2). Pour cette raison, le bâti (1) est calculé pour supporter une pression de 3 000 kilogrammes sans se déformer.According to the preceding data, the frame (1) itself must bear, since the action of the bands (2), a constant pressure of the order of 2,500 kilograms. To this must be added the weight of people who will rest on the frame (1), which slightly increases the band pressure (2). For this reason, the frame (1) is calculated to support a pressure of 3000 kg without deforming.

    Dans l'exemple d'un lit double, précité, le bâti (1) est réalisé en tube d'acier de construction d'une section transversale de 100 millimètres par 40 millimètres avec une épaisseur de 2,25 millimètres, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 2. Il est évident que toutes ces données doivent s'entendre comme un exemple de réalisation pratique non limitatif puisque, selon la solution qu'on vient de préconiser, on peut réaliser n'importe quelle taille de sommier pour tous les types de lits, en adaptant alors les dimensions et le nombre des bandes (2).In the example of a double bed, mentioned above, the frame (1) is made of structural steel tube of a cross section of 100 millimeters by 40 millimeters with a thickness of 2.25 millimeters, as can be seen in figure 2. It is obvious that all this data should be understood as a non-limiting practical example since, depending on the solution we just recommended, we can make any size of box spring for everyone the types of beds, then adapting the dimensions and the number of bands (2).
