Definitions

• the present invention relates to a bed base according to the preamble of claim 1.
• EP-A-0 '116' 237 discloses a reclining device which consists of two inflatable elements arranged parallel to one another. Consists ⁇ longitudinal spars on which tangential and transverse to the longitudinal direction ⁇ a series of pockets are mounted, these ⁇ n Bags are inserted crossbars, one end of a crossbar is held in one of the longitudinal spars and the other end in the other longitudinal spar. This creates a grate that has increased flexibility. The fixation of the crossbars with respect to the longitudinal spars is taken over by the rare walls in the case that this substructure is inserted into a bed frame.
• EP-A-0'243 '383 also describes a natural bed with two resilient longitudinal spars made of foam or foam rubber and a plurality of crossbars arranged in a rust-like manner above them.
• the crossbars are connected to each other by a flat cloth, which also fixes the longitudinal bars.
• the cloth has, on two opposite longitudinal edges, pockets oriented transversely to the longitudinal direction, in which the ends of the crossbars are held.
• the longitudinal spars are arranged between the fabric acting as a covering and the crossbars, in another variant, tunnel tracks are attached to the fabric, into which the longitudinal spars are inserted.
• DE-A-39 '33' 816 shows a similar construction of a bed base with resilient longitudinal spars made of foam and associated transverse slats made of wood. Loops extending transversely to the longitudinal direction are attached to the longitudinal spars, through which the ends of the transverse slats are pushed. In order to fix the crossbars with respect to the longitudinal bars, the crossbars have grooves for receiving the loops.
• the stability achieved in this way is not sufficient for transport or under general heavy loads on the bed base, since the loops move and can therefore be removed from the grooves.
• the grooves form weak points of the crossbars and thus potential breaking points.
• the material of the loops in the area of the grooves is subjected to greater stress because it rubs against the edges of the grooves.
• the longitudinal spars are not mutually fixed or the pockets are fixed to the transverse slats, but each longitudinal spar is separated attached to individual crossbars by the other.
• this construction ensures, with minimal means, a stable and non-aging fixation of the crossbars and the longitudinal spars relative to one another.
• fastening strap can be chosen to be relatively short, the risk of material fatigue and thus a reduction in stability is eliminated.
• the fastening tape runs parallel to the crossbars and, in a preferred embodiment, has a maximum width of an individual crossbar. As a result, it is arranged very discreetly and does not disturb the appearance. In addition, there are no significantly protruding or hanging down elements that could serve as a dust catcher or in which, for example, could be hooked up during vacuuming.
• Figure 1 is a side view of a first embodiment of the bed base according to the invention.
• Figure 2 is a perspective view of a portion of the bed base according to Figure 1 from above;
• Figure 3 is a perspective view of the bed base according to Figure 1 from below;
• Figure 4 is a side view of a portion of a crossbar with a fastening button
• Figure 5 is a view of the bed base according to Figure 1 from above;
• Figure 6 shows a section through a section of a second embodiment of the bed base according to the invention.
• FIG. 7 shows a view of part of a long side of the bed base according to FIG. 6.
• FIGS. 1 and 2 show a first exemplary embodiment of the bed base structure according to the invention.
• it essentially comprises two spaced apart and parallel to each other, elastic or resilient longitudinal beams 1 or spring body and a plurality of cross bars arranged in a rust-like manner transversely thereto, which rest on the longitudinal beams 1 and connect them to one another.
• the longitudinal bars 1 are made of an elastomeric material, preferably latex, and are provided with a textile cover, preferably natural cotton. They can have any cross-section, which can be rectangular, as shown here, for example. However, it can also have a round or oval shape.
• the crossbars 2 are preferably made of solid wood, for example Ash slats, and generally have a thickness of 4 to 15 mm.
• the crossbars 2 s nd at least approximately flat.
• Pockets 3 aligned transversely to the longitudinal direction are arranged on the longitudinal spars 1.
• the pockets 3 are sewn to the side of the longitudinal spars 1, so that they form a lateral extension. They generally also consist of a textile material, in particular a fabric made of pure natural fibers such as hemp or cotton.
• the ends of the crossbars 2 are pushed into these pockets 3 and held therein, a part of the crossbars 2 protruding from the pockets 3 resting on the longitudinal bars 1. Since the pockets 3 are attached on one side to the longitudinal spars 1, a longitudinally extending loop band 4 is fastened to the opposite side of the long spar 1, through the loops of which the transverse slats 2 are carried out.
• the fastening band 52 is directed towards the other longitudinal spar 1 and extends transversely to the longitudinal direction.
• the fastening tape 52 is also preferably made of a textile material, such as woven natural textile fibers.
• the fastening band 52 is fastened directly to the longitudinal spar 1.
• the lanyard consists of two m Longitudinally spaced from each other, attached to the longitudinal spars 1 fastening loops 50, which are made of textile bands, such as woven cotton, and a Verb extension bolt 51, which is pushed through these fastening loops 50.
• the fastening band 52 wraps around the central region of the connecting bolt 51 which is exposed between the fastening loops 50. This construction simplifies the production and the assembly of the fastening means.
• the fastening band 52 can be made narrow, even if the forces are distributed over the longitudinal bars 1 over a larger area.
• the width of the fastening tape 51 therefore preferably corresponds at most to the width of a crossbar 2.
• the length is between 8 to 20 cm, preferably approximately 14 cm.
• the fastening tape 52 has a buttonhole which is penetrated by a fastening button 20 attached to a crossbar 2.
• the fastening band 52 is fastened to the crossbar 2 and each longitudinal spar 1 is fixed with respect to the crossbars 2 separately from the other longitudinal spars.
• the fastening button 20 preferably consists of a wooden dowel with a protruding head that drives the crossbar 2.
• the fastening band 52 and the fastening button 20 are arranged on the underside of the bed base, that is to say away from the bed surface.
• two or more fastening straps 52 with separate connecting means are arranged at a distance from one another on each longitudinal spar 1, each fastening strap 52 being assigned its own fastening button 20.
• FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the bed base structure according to the invention.
• the longitudinal spars 1 have an L-shaped cross section and thus form a right angle.
• the pockets 3 for receiving the ends of the upper crossbars 2 ' are attached to the end face of the short leg 12, and they rest on the end face.
• the upper crossbars 2 'thus rest on the end face of the short leg 12.
