Abstract

The bed has elastic transversal elements (6) connecting the two longitudinal side beams (2,3), each elastic element being fixed to the side beams and having slats (8,9) resting on the cross beams (7) by elastic connectors (11,12). The ends of the slats are freely held.

Description

L'invention concerne un sommier comportant deux longerons reliés par une pluralité d'éléments élastiques transversaux indépendants séparés par des espaces, chaque élément transversal comprenant une traverse rigide dont les extrémités sont fixées sur les faces internes des longerons et au moins une latte reposant sur ladite traverse par l'intermédiaire d'une série d'organes élastiques indépendants disposés alignés au-dessus de la traverse.The invention relates to a box spring comprising two beams connected by a plurality of independent transverse elastic elements separated by spaces, each transverse element comprising a rigid crosspiece, the ends of which are fixed to the internal faces of the longitudinal members and at least one batten resting on said cross member through a series of independent elastic members arranged aligned above the crossbar.

Un tel sommier est connu par le document FR-A 2 575 378. Dans ce document les organes élastiques, constitués de préférence par des ressorts à boudin, sont maintenus à l'état précontraint dans des enveloppes formées en particulier à partir de deux bandes souples qui sont disposées au-dessus et au-dessous des organes élastiques comprimés, et qui sont ensuite fixées l'une à l'autre entre deux organes élastiques consécutifs, ces enveloppes étant ensuite fixées à la foi à la traverse et à la latte par un moyen quelconque. En outre, les organes élastiques sont disposés les uns à côté des autres.Such a box spring is known from document FR-A 2,575,378. In this document, the elastic members, preferably constituted by coil springs, are kept in the pre-stressed state in envelopes formed in particular from two flexible strips which are arranged above and below the elastic members tablets, which are then attached to each other between two organs consecutive elastic bands, these envelopes then being fixed to the faith at the crosses and to the slat by any means. In addition, the organs elastic bands are arranged next to each other.

Partant de l'état de la technique décrit ci-dessus, l'invention s'est donné pour but d'en proposer une variante.Starting from the state of the art described above, the invention was given for the purpose of proposing a variant.

L'invention tend également à résoudre le problème posé par l'élasticité et la souplesse du lit. La souplesse doit être suffisante pour absorber les différents enfoncements et pressions locales dues à la morphologie du corps humain, tout en ne permettant pas une déformation générale du plan de couchage qui serait néfaste pour la rectitude de la colonne vertébrale de l'utilisateur, notamment en position couchée sur le côté.The invention also tends to solve the problem posed by the elasticity and suppleness of the bed. Flexibility must be sufficient to absorb the various local depressions and pressures due to the morphology of the human body, while not allowing a general deformation of the sleeping surface which would be harmful for the straightness of the user's spine, especially in position lying on its side.

L'invention atteint son but par le fait que les organes élastiques sont monoblocs et réalisés en un matériau élastique, et par le fait que chaque traverse est équipée d'au moins deux organes élastiques.The invention achieves its object by the fact that the elastic members are in one piece and made of an elastic material, and by the fact that each cross member is equipped with at least two elastic members.

De préférence, les extrémités de la latte sont laissées libres afin de s'inscrire parfaitement dans l'encadrement du sommier.Preferably, the ends of the slat are left free so to fit perfectly into the box spring frame.

Selon un mode de réalisation préféré, chaque élément transversal comporte deux lattes parallèles supportées par des organes élastiques communs.According to a preferred embodiment, each transverse element has two parallel slats supported by elastic members common.

D'autres avantages et caractéristiques de l'invention ressortiront à la lecture de la description suivante faite à titre d'exemple et en référence aux dessins annexés dans lesquels :

  • la figure 1 est une vue de dessus d'un sommier à lattes selon l'invention ;
  • la figure 2 montre en perspective le montage d'un élément transversal sur les longerons.
    • Other advantages and characteristics of the invention will emerge on reading the following description given by way of example and with reference to the appended drawings in which:
  • Figure 1 is a top view of a slatted base according to the invention;
  • Figure 2 shows in perspective the mounting of a transverse element on the side members.

    • Le dessin montre un sommier à lattes 1 qui comporte deux longerons 2, 3, dénommés habituellement longs pans, reliés à leurs extrémités avant par une traverse de tête 4, et reliés à leurs extrémités arrière par une traverse de pied 5. Les longerons 2, 3, et les traverses de tête 4 et de pied 5 délimitent l'encadrement du lit.The drawing shows a slatted base 1 which has two stringers 2, 3, usually called long sides, connected to their front ends by a cross head 4, and connected at their ends rear by a cross member of foot 5. The side members 2, 3, and the cross members head 4 and foot 5 define the frame of the bed.

    Une pluralité d'éléments élastiques transversaux 6 sont disposés entre les longerons 2 et 3. Ces éléments transversaux 6 sont régulièrement répartis entre la traverse de tête 4 et la traverse de pied 5.A plurality of transverse elastic elements 6 are arranged between the side members 2 and 3. These transverse elements 6 are evenly distributed between the head rail 4 and the foot rail 5.

    Chaque élément transversal 6 comporte une traverse rigide 7, dont la longueur est sensiblement égale à la distance séparant les faces internes en vis-à-vis des longerons 2 et 3. La traverse 7 est immobilisée à ses extrémités sur les faces internes des longerons 2 et 3 par tout moyen approprié.Each transverse element 6 comprises a rigid cross member 7, the length of which is substantially equal to the distance between the faces internal facing the side members 2 and 3. The cross member 7 is immobilized at its ends on the internal faces of the side members 2 and 3 by any appropriate means.

    Au dessus de chaque traverse 7 sont prévus deux lattes 8 et 9, parallèles à la traverse 7, et séparées par un espace 10.Above each cross member 7 are provided two slats 8 and 9, parallel to the crosspiece 7, and separated by a space 10.

    Ces lattes 8 et 9 sont suspendues au-dessus de la traverse 7 par au moins deux organes de suspension indépendants 11 et 12.These slats 8 and 9 are suspended above the cross member 7 by at least two independent suspension members 11 and 12.

    Ces organes de suspension 11 et 12 sont réalisés en un matériau élastique du type élastomère, métal ou autres. Ils sont fixés sur la traverse 7 soit par clipsage, soit par vissage, soit par agrafage, soit par des tenons, et sous les lattes 8 et 9, soit par emboítement, soit par clipsage, soit par collage.These suspension members 11 and 12 are made of a material elastic of the elastomer, metal or other type. They are fixed on the cross-member 7 either by clipping, or by screwing, or by stapling, or by tenons, and under the slats 8 and 9, either by interlocking or by clipping, either by gluing.

    Les organes de suspension 11 et 12 sont symétriques par rapport au plan médian vertical de la traverse 7, afin que les deux lattes 8 et 9 soient disposées, en l'absence de contrainte, dans un même plan horizontal défini par l'ensemble des lattes du sommier.The suspension members 11 and 12 are symmetrical with respect to in the vertical median plane of the cross member 7, so that the two slats 8 and 9 are arranged, in the absence of constraint, in the same plane horizontal defined by all the slats of the bed base.

    Les lattes adjacentes de deux éléments transversaux consécutifs 6 sont séparées par un espace 13 qui peut être différent de l'espace 10 intercalaire entre les deux lattes 8 et 9 du même élément transversal 6.The adjacent slats of two consecutive transverse elements 6 are separated by a space 13 which can be different from the space 10 interlayer between the two slats 8 and 9 of the same transverse element 6.

    Les éléments transversaux 6 peuvent être tous identiques. Mais on peut également faire en sorte que la dureté de la suspension diffère selon les zones du sommier 1. The transverse elements 6 can all be identical. But we can also make the hardness of the suspension different according to the areas of the box spring 1.

    Dans le mode de réalisation montré sur les dessins, chaque élément transversal 6 comporte deux lattes 8, 9 et deux organes de suspension indépendants 11 et 12. Il est évident que chaque élément transversal 6 pourrait ne comporter qu'une seule latte, sans sortir du cadre de l'invention et que chaque latte 8, 9 peut être supportée par la traverse 7 par plus de deux organes de suspension indépendants 11 et 12. Toutefois, le nombre d'organes de suspension 10, 11 prévu par traverse 7 est limité, et les extrémités des lattes 8, 9 sont laissées libres, quel que soit le nombre d'organes de suspension 11, 12, afin de s'inscrire parfaitement dans l'encadrement du sommier 1.In the embodiment shown in the drawings, each transverse element 6 comprises two slats 8, 9 and two members of independent suspension 11 and 12. It is obvious that each element transverse 6 could have only one slat, without leaving the framework of the invention and that each slat 8, 9 can be supported by the cross member 7 by more than two independent suspension members 11 and 12. However, the number of suspension members 10, 11 provided for by cross 7 is limited, and the ends of the slats 8, 9 are left free, regardless of the number of suspension members 11, 12, in order to fit perfectly into the box spring frame 1.

    Les lattes 8, 9 sont rectilignes et elles peuvent être réalisées en bois, en contre-plaqué ou en tout autre matériau.The slats 8, 9 are straight and they can be made in wood, plywood or any other material.
