Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a slatted base comprising a frame, at least a row of main slats arranged parallel to each other and mounted in the frame, this row forming a first damping means, at least one zone reinforced with at least one secondary slat arranged opposite and below a main batten, this secondary batten also being mounted in the frame, and at least one spring element associated with said secondary slat and with said main slat opposite forming a second damping means, said spring element comprising a leaf spring disposed between the secondary batten and the main batten in look and having a curved shape.
  • Slatted bed bases in general have a first row of slats main intended to receive the mattress. These slats are mounted as part of the bed base by ball joints or any other connecting element intended to collect the movements of the ends of these slats.
  • These box springs are usually reinforced in an area corresponding to the user's back area which represents the area where the weight is the highest. These reinforcements usually consist of slats side panels arranged below and opposite the corresponding main slats in said back region.
  • These slats are also mounted as part of the box spring by ball joints or any other connecting element and are coupled to the main slats opposite by adjustable center distance sliders. These sliders allow you to adjust the bed base tension.
  • box springs are equipped with a automatic tension adjustment according to the weight applied.
  • One of the systems in the form of spring blades wavy over their entire length and arranged below the main slats in said dorsal area in place of the slats secondary.
  • this system is not efficient enough since the wavy spring leaves are mounted without a secondary leaf. This has the effect of not not guarantee sufficient tension for correct maintenance during use.
  • a other automatic adjustment system has a curved leaf spring arranged between a secondary batten and the main batten opposite. This leaf spring is mounted on one of the slats by sliding at its ends, its top being close to the other slat.
  • This system is particularly effective because it allows constitute several levels or stages of damping which come into action one after the other and accumulate according to the weight to be supported. Nevertheless, the ends of this leaf spring are mounted directly by sliding on one of the main slats or secondary, creating a wood-on-wood friction when the leaf spring thus generating noise and premature wear of the corresponding slat and said ends.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome this drawback by proposing a slatted base with automatic tension adjustment system function of the applied weight, which is very flexible, progressive, noise-free and wear-free, while remaining a simple and economical system.

  • the bearing cage has two parallel internal grooves arranged to guide said roller in rotation and in translation.
  • the bearing has at least two rollers parallel mounted in free rotation in said cage and movable in translation.
  • the bearing cage can have a notch on its two opposite lateral sides, this notch having a width at least equal to that of the retaining flange.
  • the retaining flange may include a lug arranged to engage in a hole correspondent provided in said slat.
  • the rolling means comprise at least one guide flange and preferably two guide flanges, one of which lower flange arranged to be disposed between said slat and the retaining flange and an upper flange arranged to be disposed between said leaf spring and the flange of maintenance.
  • Each guide flange advantageously comprises a base substantially rectangular and a stud projecting from said base, this stud being intended to be housed in a corresponding hole provided respectively in said slat and in said blade spring.
  • each guide flange advantageously has two flanges conical provided on two parallel edges of said base and projecting from the side opposite the tenon, these edges defining between them a groove intended to receive the retaining flange.
  • One of the conical edges is advantageously higher than the other and is arranged to bear against the retaining flange on the inside of the bed base.
  • the retaining flange defines an interior housing whose height is at more equal to that formed by said slat. said planar rolling bearing, said end of the leaf spring with or without said guide flanges, so as to produce a tight fitting, without operating clearance.
  • the rolling bearing and the rollers can be made of polyamide and the blade plywood spring.
  • This leaf spring may also include, at its top, a shoe made in a noise-absorbing material.
  • the main slats, the slat secondary and the leaf spring are produced in different thicknesses.
  • Figure 1 illustrates a bed 1 equipped with a slatted base 2 formed of several parts articulated to each other to match the body of the user, this box spring being provided a row of parallel main slats 3 forming a flat surface intended for receive a mattress (not shown), these slats being mounted in a frame 4 peripheral.
  • This box spring 2 has a reinforced zone 5, as will be seen in reference to Figure 2, in the dorsal area corresponding to the lower back of the user where the weight is greatest.

  • the base 2 includes said main slats 3 mounted outside said frame 4 by ball joints 6 and at least one secondary slat 7 mounted inside the frame 4 also by two ball joints 8 and arranged below and opposite one of the main slats 3.
  • the reinforced zone 5 can extend beyond a secondary slat 7 and include for example a row of eight slats parallel and successive secondary to cover the entire dorsal area and even beyond if necessary.
  • This reinforced zone 5 comprises at least one spring element associated with said secondary batten 7 and said main batten 3 opposite.
  • the spring element consists of a spring leaf 9, preferably made of plywood, curved, disposed between said slats 3, 7, its slightly curved ends 9a being mounted on the secondary batten 7 by rolling means 10 which will be described later.
  • the apex 9b of the leaf spring is directed towards the main batten 3.
  • This apex 9b is also equipped with a pad 20 made of a noise-absorbing material for avoid any noise pollution when the main slat 3 comes into contact with the blade spring 9.
  • This leaf spring 9 can also be mounted upside down, its ends 9a being mounted on the main batten 3 and its top 9b being directed towards the batten secondary 7.
  • This leaf spring 9 is centered relative to the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the base 2 so as to balance the distribution of the forces transmitted by the main batten 3.
  • FIG. 3 illustrates in more detail the means of bearing 10 for mounting the ends 9a of the leaf spring 9 on the batten secondary 7, or on the main batten 3 depending on the mounting variant chosen.
  • These rolling means 10 comprise for each end 9a a plane bearing at bearing 11 disposed between said end 9a of the leaf spring and said slat 7 thus a retaining flange 12 surrounding said end 9a of the leaf spring, the bearing 11 and the corresponding slat 7.
  • the retaining flange 12 reduces the degrees of freedom of said end 9a at a single translation substantially parallel to said plane bearing at bearing 11.
  • the planar rolling bearing 11 comprises a substantially rectangular cage 13 receiving two rollers 14 mounted in free rotation and movable in translation in the direction of movement of the end 9a of said leaf spring represented by the arrows F.
  • the thickness of the cage 13 is less than the diameter of the rollers 14 so that they can roll simultaneously on the secondary slat 7 and the end 9a of the blade spring.
  • the bearing cage 13 has two parallel internal grooves 15 receiving the pins 14 'of the rollers 14 and arranged to guide them in rotation and in translation. The displacement in translation of the rollers 14 is limited by the length inside of this cage.
  • This cage 13 also includes a recess 16 provided on its two opposite lateral sides and whose width L is at least equal to that of the retaining flange 12.
  • the number of rollers 14 is not limited to two but can have at least one roller.

  • the retaining flange 12 has a shape of section ring substantially rectangular defining an interior housing 17 to receive the end 9a of the leaf spring, the planar rolling bearing 11 and the corresponding slat 7.
  • the height H of the interior housing 17 is at most equal to that formed by the addition of the slat secondary 7, of the planar rolling bearing 11 and of the end 9a of the leaf spring, so as to carry out a tight assembly.
  • the retaining flange 12 adheres to the blade spring 9 in their contact area.
  • the circumference of the interior housing 17 of the flange holding 12 comprises a chamfer 18 to facilitate its mounting.
  • This bridle of retaining 12 comprises a lug 19 arranged to engage in a corresponding hole (not shown) provided in said secondary slat 7 so as to be blocked in a fixed position. It is made in one piece in an elastic material and preferably rubber, allowing it to be deformed and stretched at the time of its mounting around the leaf spring. of the landing and the batten. It could also be made of any other material, in two symmetrical parts and assembled by interlocking for example.
  • This retaining flange 12 also plays a role shock absorber. Indeed, the transverse displacement of the end 9a of the leaf spring according to arrow F automatically causes the elastic deformation of the flange retaining 12 in the same direction, this retaining flange being fixed to its part lower in the secondary batten 7 by its tenon 19.
  • Each blade spring 9 is positioned on the secondary batten 7 which must receive it by by means of two planar rolling bearings 11 arranged under its ends 9a slightly curved.
  • the retaining flange 12 is threaded around these parts 7, 11, 9a after being stretched and then is housed in the lateral recesses 16 of the bearing 11 and is positioned relative to the secondary slat 7 by means of its pin 19. Then, the secondary slats 7 are mounted in the box spring 2 in a traditional manner by example by means of the ball joints 8 illustrated in FIG. 3.
