Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the field of furniture, in particular bedding and in particular slatted bed bases, and has for object a adaptable and positionable fixing device for a mattress stopper to the frames box springs, in particular slatted bed bases.
  • mattress-slat connections formed elastic ribbons, knotted threads or velcro-type bands.
  • mattress stops of this type formed in a single block which are fixed on a crosspiece or directly on the slats. These stops are generally made of plastic but can also be made of metal, which strengthens their rigidity.
  • the devices for fixing the mattress stops fixed on the sleepers are usually through screws which leads to many and tedious drilling work.
  • the stops fixed on the slats are relatively difficult to implement. place, especially when you have to mount the stops at the same time as you insert the slats in the ends intended for them.
  • box springs are generally stored without a mattress, the latter usually being chosen by the customer, and stored separately in special packaging. It follows that such box springs, having protruding parts, can no longer be stacked vertically and optimally, which in terms of dimensions of these objects results in a significant loss of space.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome the drawbacks mentioned above.
  • It relates to a device for fixing a mattress stop characterized in that it comprises a ring, having at least a first means for receiving a part belonging to the mattress stop, and at least one second means of adjusting or adapting the section of the ring to the section of the piece of furniture on which said ring is fixed.
  • said ring is made of synthetic material.
  • the synthetic material used must be both sufficiently rigid, to support the mattress stop and the lateral stresses exerted on the latter, and flexible enough to be easily donned or mounted on the stop support element.
  • Synthetic material can, for example, be a plastic material chosen from the group formed by PVC (polychloride vinyl) and PE (polyethylene), without this indication having any character limiting whatsoever.
  • the section of the ring can take any geometric shape possible and will be, for mechanical reasons, of rectangular section, possibly with rounded corners.
  • Adjusting or adapting the section of the ring to the section of the element on which it is fixed can be done by any suitable means.
  • this means of adjusting or adapting the section is produced in the form of a slot, for example, arranged on the lower side of the ring.
  • the material that form the ring is then flexible enough so that the two lower parts of the ring located on either side of said slot can move apart.
  • This embodiment allows the ring to move freely on the bed frame, armchair or the like, so that one can very easily reposition the stops or modify their widths.
  • the stop is an inverted U-shaped metal arch
  • the free movement of the two fixings, which each receive a branch of the inverted U allows to shift this U overturned along the support in the desired places or to modify the spacing by choosing narrower or wider inverted U's.
  • the section branches, for example in the form of stems, inverted U should of course remain the same, so that the "feet" of the new stop can be inserted in the old fasteners that have been repositioned apart or close together. We thus obtain more or less long stops and therefore better suited to lengths and widths of box spring frames, independent moving parts relaxation chairs, etc.
  • the ring is produced, at least partially, of flexible material and has, on at least one of the sides, a device for adjusting or adapting the section of the ring other than that a slot as previously described.
  • this latter device particularly simple and therefore advantageous to implement, already allows a sufficient dimensional adaptation for a large part of the furniture in the category concerned and whose dimensions have been standardized (hospital beds, hotels, barracks, stretchers, beds or armchairs for people with mobility problems restraint).
  • the means for receiving the element of the mattress stopper located on the ring and preferably forming a single piece with the latter, can be a sleeve having a cylindrical orifice receiving an element of the stop mattress so as to fix said element on the desired part of the frame, slats or the like.
  • This element can, for example, be one of the two rods of a hoop U-shaped metallic material overturned and the other rod of which is fixed in the same way way through another identical fixing device.
  • the device 1 for fixing a mattress stop is essentially consisting of a ring 2, for example, of a material synthetic comprising on the lower side an adjustment means or adaptation of the size of the section constituted, in this embodiment, by the presence of a slot 3 and on a lateral side, by means 5 for receiving the stop mattress proper, means 5 produced here in the form of a sleeve having a cylindrical orifice 6 intended to receive an element of the stop of mattress (not shown) in order to fix it, by means of the ring 2 of the fastening device 1 on the cross member of a frame (not shown), or on a analogous element of a bed, a relaxation chair, etc.
  • the ring 2 has on the sides opposite to the sides of the slot 3 and receiving means 5, a reinforcing rib 7 extending continuously from the upper periphery of the cylindrical opening 6 to the end of the side longitudinal 3 '.
  • This reinforcing rib 7 ends in a rounded manner at this end of the longitudinal side 3 '.
  • FIG. 3 shows the use of a fixing ring for stopping mattress, in accordance with the first embodiment described, for a mattress stop 13.
  • the fixing device 1 described in FIG. 1 is fixed on a cross-member 11, by example, of a bed base which may have slats 12.
  • one or more mattress stops 13 are arranged on the said base on the periphery of the box spring frame. These mattress stops 13 are therefore fixed on the crosspieces 11, each by means of at least one fixing device 1, in accordance with the present invention.
  • stops can, for example, be hoops, preferably in a sufficiently rigid and solid material, for example, of metal such as steel stainless or the like.
  • the shape of these arches can in particular be of the "U" reversed as shown in Figure 3.
  • the installation of the mattress stops 13 on the crosspieces 11 is very simple: just thread, depending on the number and dimensions of the stops used, the appropriate number of rings at the desired locations on the frame.
  • the material which forms the ring 2 is then flexible enough so that the two lower parts of the ring located on either side of the slot can step aside. In this way, the ring 2 is threaded onto the carrier element, the space due to the presence of the slot providing the play necessary for the adjustment or adaptation of the section of the ring to sections whose dimensions vary within the limit of this game.
  • FIG. 2 A second embodiment of a fixing device according to the invention is shown in Figure 2.
  • the fixing device 1 of this embodiment comprises a ring 2 ', made at least partially from a flexible material, characterized by what the side of the ring 2 'opposite to the side comprising the receiving means 5' has an adjustment or adaptation means 4 of the section of said ring consisting of a ribbed blocking piece formed by a male element 9 and a female element 10, said elements cooperating with each other.
  • the means 5 ' located on this ring 2 ' has a cylindrical orifice 6' which receives the element of the mattress stop to be installed.
  • Ring 2 ' has a more rounded section than ring 2 shown in Figure 1.
  • the contact between the sleeve forming the means 5 'of reception, and the ring 2 'on which the means 5' is located cannot be done on any the extent of the receiving side but is restricted to a smaller segment which corresponds approximately to the length of the sleeve.
  • the ring 2 'made of flexible material therefore protrudes in height relative to by means 5 'of receiving the element of the mattress stop.
  • this connection is stiffened by reinforcing structures.
  • These reinforcement structures are, for example, the retaining rings 8.
  • connection between the ring 2, 2 'and the receiving means 5, 5' is made with sliding ability, for example by means of retaining rings 8.
  • the male element 9 can be a tapered extension of one side of the ring 2 'while the female element 10 can be produced in the form of a sleeve or ring, for example, directly formed in the ring 2 'or mounted on it (figure 2).
  • the male element 9 is capable of cooperating with the female element 10 to ensure the adjustment and blocking of the section of the ring 2 '. So the element male 9 could, for example, have a notch or an external serration cooperating with the corresponding internal notching or serration of the element female 10.
  • the ring 2 'does not have a rib as the rib 7 of the ring 2.
  • the adjustment or adaptation of the section of the ring is made by means of associated elements 9 and 10 of the ribbed part for blocking.
  • the tapered part 9 of the male element is inserted into the orifice of the element female 10.
  • the external notching of the male element 9 then cooperates with the internal notching of the female element 10 and thereby ensures the adjustment and blocking of the section of the ring 2 'to the dimensions of the support on which it is fixed.
  • the bond thus established is, therefore, relatively strong.
