Description

La présente invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'embouts de support de lattes transversales d'un sommier de literie.The present invention relates to a fixing device cross-slat support end caps bedding.

Elle s'applique en particulier à un sommier du type à dossier et support de jambes d'un utilisateur relevables par un mécanisme motorisé commandé à partir d'un boítier de commande à distance.It applies in particular to a box spring of the type with liftable user's backrest and leg support by a motorized mechanism controlled from a box remote control.

On connaít un dispositif de fixation d'embouts, qui comprennent chacun un capuchon formant étui d'extrémité dans lequel s'engage une extrémité correspondante d'une latte et un socle de support du capuchon auquel est solidarisée une patte de fixation et qui sont fixés par ces pattes sur des longerons, en faisant saillie de ceux-ci, des cadres relevables respectivement de dossier et de support des jambes d'un utilisateur du sommier. Plus précisément, la fixation de chaque embout au longeron correspondant s'effectue par agrafage de la patte de fixation de l'embout à la face interne du longeron de manière que le capuchon fasse saillie du bord supérieur du longeron avec le socle juste au dessus de ce bord. Des caches en matière plastique sont alors prévus pour s'engager respectivement dans des parties évidées de forme conjuguée des pattes de fixation des embouts de manière à occulter les agrafes.We know a device for attaching tips, which each include a cap forming an end case in which a corresponding end of a batten and a cap support base to which is secured a fixing lug and which are fixed by these legs on spars, projecting therefrom, liftable file and picture frames respectively leg support for a box spring user. More precisely, the attachment of each end piece to the beam matching is done by stapling the tab attachment of the end cap to the internal face of the beam so that the cap protrudes from the top edge the side member with the base just above this edge. of the plastic covers are then provided for respectively engage in hollowed out parts of combined shape of the fixing lugs of the end caps so as to hide the staples.

Ces dispositifs connus ont pour inconvénients de nécessiter des embouts d'une structure relativement compliquée et couteux et de prévoir en plus des caches rendant invisibles les agrafes de fixation des pattes des embouts au longeron correspondant. These known devices have the disadvantages of require end caps of a relatively structure complicated and expensive and to provide in addition to the caches making invisible the fastening clips of the legs of the end caps to the corresponding beam.

La présente invention a pour but d'éliminer les inconvénients ci-dessus en proposant un dispositif de fixation d'embouts de support de lattes transversales d'un sommier de literie sur au moins deux longerons opposés faisant partie du sommier, les embouts faisant saillie de leurs longerons respectifs et comprenant chacun un capuchon formant étui d'extrémité dans lequel s'engage l'extrémité correspondante d'une latte et qui est caractérisé en ce que le capuchon d'au moins certains des embouts comprend une fenêtre réalisée dans sa paroi supérieure et a sa paroi inférieure fixée sur le longeron correspondant par au moins une agrafe insérée à travers la fenêtre de la paroi supérieure du capuchon.The object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages above by proposing a device for attachment of cross slat support end caps a bed base on at least two rails opposites forming part of the box spring, the end pieces forming protrusion from their respective spars and comprising each a cap forming an end case in which engages the corresponding end of a slat and which is characterized in that the cap of at least some end caps includes a window made in its wall upper and its lower wall fixed on the spar corresponding by at least one clip inserted through the window of the top wall of the cap.

L'agrafe de fixation du capuchon d'un embout au longeron correspondant est occultée de la fenêtre par l'extrémité de la latte engagée dans le capuchon.The clip for fixing the cap of a nozzle to the beam corresponding is obscured from the window by the end of the batten engaged in the cap.

Par ailleurs, un certain nombre d'autres embouts de support de lattes sont fixés à leurs longerons respectifs en ayant leurs capuchons faisant saillie du longeron d'une hauteur supérieure à la hauteur saillante de chaque capuchon d'un embout fixé par sa paroi inférieure directement sur le longeron par l'agrafe précitée de sorte qu'un certain nombre de lattes sont situées à des hauteurs différentes des autres lattes.In addition, a number of other end caps slat support are attached to their respective side members by having their caps protruding from the spar higher than the projecting height of each cap of a nozzle fixed by its lower wall directly on the spar by the aforementioned clip of so that a number of slats are located at different heights from other slats.

Les capuchons d'embouts de hauteurs différentes sont fixés de façon alternée sur leurs longerons respectifs. The end caps of different heights are alternately attached to their respective side members.

Les capuchons d'embouts de plus grande hauteur saillante sont montés sur des socles pouvant prendre appui sur le longeron correspondant et solidarisés à la face interne du longeron par des pattes fixées par agrafage à cette face.The larger protruding height end caps are mounted on pedestals that can rest on the corresponding spar and secured to the internal face of the spar by lugs fixed by stapling to this face.

Les agrafes de fixation des pattes des embouts au longeron correspondant sont occultées par des caches fixés amoviblement aux pattes.The clips for fixing the tabs of the end caps to the corresponding spar are concealed by covers removably attached to the legs.

Les embouts sont réalisés en une matière à base de caoutchouc.The tips are made of a material based on rubber.

De préférence, le sommier est du type à dossier et support de jambes d'un utilisateur relevables et les longerons sur lesquels sont fixés les embouts appartiennent à des cadres articulés relevables du sommier respectivement de dossier et de support des jambes de l'utilisateur.Preferably, the box spring is of the backrest type and leg support of a user that can be lifted and side rails on which the end caps are fixed belong to articulated liftable frames of the backrest and back support respectively user's legs.

L'invention sera mieux comprise et d'autres buts, caractéristiques, détails et avantages de celle-ci apparaítront plus clairement dans 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 aims, features, details and benefits of it will appear more clearly in the description explanatory which will follow made with reference to the drawings attached diagrams given only by way of example illustrating an embodiment of the invention and in which :

La figure 1 est une vue en perspective d'embouts de support de lattes d'un sommier de literie et dont l'un d'entre eux est réalisé conformément à l'invention. Figure 1 is a perspective view of end caps slat support of a bed base and one of which of them is produced in accordance with the invention.

La figure 2 est une vue de côté suivant la flèche II de la figure 1.Figure 2 is a side view along arrow II of Figure 1.

La figure 3 est une vue de dessus suivant la flèche III de la figure 2.Figure 3 is a top view along arrow III in Figure 2.

La figure 4 est une vue en coupe suivant la ligne IV-IV de la figure 2.Figure 4 is a sectional view along line IV-IV in Figure 2.

En se reportant aux figures, la référence 1 désigne une partie d'un longeron en bois appartenant à un sommier de literie en forme de cadre, lequel longeron 1 sera ici considéré comme étant celui d'un cadre de dossier ou de support de jambes d'un utilisateur relevable relativement au châssis du sommier, mais il est bien entendu que le longeron 1 peut être celui d'un cadre fixé intérieurement au longeron correspondant du sommier.Referring to the figures, reference 1 designates a part of a wooden spar belonging to a box spring frame-shaped bedding, which spar 1 will be here considered to be that of a file manager or leg support of a relatively liftable user to the bed frame, but it is understood that the spar 1 can be that of a frame fixed internally to the corresponding beam of the box spring.

Sur chacun des deux longerons 1 du cadre relevable sont fixés des embouts 2, 3 de support de lattes transversales 4 du sommier et réalisés chacun en une matière à base de caoutchouc en étant intégralement moulés.On each of the two side members 1 of the lifting frame are fixed end caps 2, 3 for supporting transverse slats 4 of the box spring and each made of a material based on rubber by being integrally molded.

Chaque embout 2, 3 comprend un capuchon 5 formant étui d'extrémité dans lequel s'engage l'extrémité correspondante d'une latte 4 et faisant saillie au-dessus du bord supérieur 1a du longeron 1.Each end piece 2, 3 comprises a cap 5 forming a case end into which the end engages corresponding to a slat 4 and protruding above from the upper edge 1a of the spar 1.

Chaque embout 2 comprend également un socle 6 maintenu pratiquement en appui sur le bord supérieur la du longeron 1 par une patte de fixation 7 de l'embout 2, solidaire du socle 6 à une extrémité de celui-ci et fixée à la face interne 1b du longeron 1 par deux agrafes 8 logées dans une partie évidée rectangulaire 7a de la patte 7 dans laquelle est ensuite introduit, par déformation élastique des parois de la partie évidée 7a, un cache 9 de forme conjuguée en une matière plastique rigide. Chaque socle 6 a une largeur approximativement égale à l'épaisseur du longeron 1 et est constitué de deux parois espacées 6a définissant entre elles une cavité à section transversale sensiblement en forme de losange dont la grande diagonale est parallèle au longeron 1. Les deux parois 6a du socle 6 sont élastiquement déformables par compression exercée sur celles-ci par une charge appliquée à l'extrémité de la latte engagée dans le capuchon 5 de l'embout 2. Tous les embouts 2 de même structure ont la même hauteur saillante relativement au bord supérieur 1a du longeron 1.Each nozzle 2 also includes a base 6 maintained practically resting on the upper edge of the spar 1 by a fixing lug 7 of the end piece 2, integral with the base 6 at one end thereof and fixed to the internal face 1b of the spar 1 by two staples 8 housed in a rectangular recessed part 7a of the leg 7 into which is then introduced, by elastic deformation of the walls of the hollowed out part 7a, a cover 9 of conjugate shape in a plastic material rigid. Each base 6 has a width approximately equal to the thickness of the beam 1 and consists of two spaced walls 6a defining between them a substantially cross-sectional cavity rhombus whose large diagonal is parallel to the spar 1. The two walls 6a of the base 6 are elastically deformable by compression exerted on these by a load applied to the end of the batten engaged in the cap 5 of the end piece 2. All end pieces 2 of the same structure have the same projecting height relative to the upper edge 1a of the spar 1.

Selon l'invention, le capuchon 5 de chaque embout 3 est fixé sur le bord supérieur la du longeron 1 de manière que sa hauteur saillante soit inférieure à la hauteur saillante des autres embouts 2.According to the invention, the cap 5 of each end piece 3 is fixed on the upper edge of the side member 1 so its projecting height is less than the height protruding from the other end pieces 2.

A cet effet, le capuchon 5 de l'embout 3 comprend une fenêtre carrée ou rectangulaire 10 réalisée au travers de la paroi supérieure 5a du capuchon 5 parallèle au bord 1a du longeron 1 et permettant le passage d'un outil d'agrafage pour fixer, par au moins une agrafe 11, la paroi inférieure 5b du capuchon 5, de préférence directement sur le bord 1a du longeron 1. Chaque embout 3 peut également comporter un pied longitudinal 12 venant en appui sur la partie supérieure correspondante de la face 1b du longeron 1 pour positionner l'embout 3 relativement au longeron 1.To this end, the cap 5 of the nozzle 3 comprises a square or rectangular window 10 made through the upper wall 5a of the cap 5 parallel to the edge 1a the side member 1 and allowing the passage of a tool stapling to fix, by at least one staple 11, the lower wall 5b of the cap 5, preferably directly on the edge 1a of the beam 1. Each end piece 3 may also include a longitudinal foot 12 coming resting on the corresponding upper part of the face 1b of the spar 1 to position the end piece 3 relative to the beam 1.

Lorsque l'extrémité correspondante de la latte 4 est engagée dans le capuchon 5 de l'embout 3, celle-ci masque, de la fenêtre 10, l'agrafe de fixation 11.When the corresponding end of the batten 4 is engaged in the cap 5 of the nozzle 3, the latter mask, window 10, fastening clip 11.

Chaque embout 3 présente l'avantage, par rapport aux autres embouts 2, d'un gain de matière de caoutchouc et est donc moins coûteux. De plus, la fixation par agrafe de chaque embout 3 sur le longeron 1 s'effectue plus simplement et plus rapidement par rapport à la fixation par agrafage des embouts 2, ce qui diminue le temps de montage des embouts 3 relativement aux embouts 2, d'autant plus que ces derniers nécessitent l'usage de caches 9 des agrafes 8, augmentant le temps de montage.Each nozzle 3 has the advantage, compared to other end pieces 2, of a rubber material gain and is therefore less expensive. In addition, the clip fastening of each end piece 3 on the spar 1 is made more simply and quickly compared to fixing by stapling the end pieces 2, which reduces the time of fitting the end pieces 3 relative to the end pieces 2, especially since these require the use of covers 9 of staples 8, increasing assembly time.

Par ailleurs, les embouts 2 et les embouts 3 sont fixés de façon alternée sur chacun des longerons 1 de façon que les lattes transversales 4 soient situées à des hauteurs différentes les unes des autres suivant qu'elles sont supportées par des embouts 2 ou des embouts 3. Ainsi, en position allongée d'un utilisateur sur le sommier, seules les lattes supérieures 4 supportées par les embouts 2 de plus grande hauteur saillante travaillent en flexion, les lattes inférieures supportées respectivement par les embouts 3 étant au repos ou inactives. Par contre, en position assise de l'utilisateur sur le sommier, l'ensemble des lattes inférieure et supérieure de la zone correspondante du sommier supporte le poids de l'utilisateur puisque les lattes 4 associées respectivement aux embouts 2 comprimeront les socles 6 jusqu'à ce que les extrémités de ces lattes soient sensiblement au même niveau que les extrémités des lattes engagées dans les capuchons des embouts 3.Furthermore, the end pieces 2 and the end pieces 3 are fixed alternately on each of the side members 1 so that the transverse slats 4 are located at heights different from each other depending on whether they are supported by nozzles 2 or nozzles 3. Thus, in lying position of a user on the bed base, only the upper slats 4 supported by the end pieces 2 of greater projecting height work in bending, the lower slats supported respectively by the tips 3 being at rest or inactive. However, in seated position of the user on the bed base, all the lower and upper slats of the area corresponding to the box spring supports the weight of the user since the slats 4 associated respectively at the ends 2 will compress the bases 6 until the ends of these slats are substantially at the same level as the ends of the slats engaged in the end caps 3.

Cette disposition simplifie considérablement les dispositions antérieurement connues selon lesquelles étaient utilisées des embouts doubles ou jumelés, chacun du genre de l'embout 2, et une troisième latte inférieure sur laquelle s'appuyaient les deux lattes supérieures par des curseurs réglables. Selon cette disposition connue, la troisième latte durcissant la zone correspondante en permanence, même en position couchée et ce dès le début de l'enfoncement des lattes par le poids de l'utilisateur. Selon l'invention, il n'y a plus de curseurs et les lattes inférieures supportées respectivement par les embouts 3 ne travaillent que lorsque les lattes supérieures sont déjà enfoncées d'une distance prédéterminée, par exemple d'environ 15 mm.This provision considerably simplifies the previously known provisions that were used double or twin tips, each like the end piece 2, and a third lower batten on which the two upper slats rested adjustable sliders. According to this known provision, the third batten hardening the corresponding area in always on, even when lying down from the start of the penetration of the slats by the weight of the user. According to the invention, there are no longer any sliders and lower slats supported respectively by the end pieces 3 only work when the upper slats are already driven in predetermined distance, for example about 15 mm.

Bien entendu, il est également possible de prévoir sur chacun des longerons des cadres relevables articulés d'un sommier uniquement des embouts 3 avec les lattes associées situées à la même hauteur.Of course, it is also possible to plan on each of the longitudinal members of the hinged lifting frames of a bed base only with end caps 3 with slats associated at the same height.
