Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bed base according to Preamble of claim 1.
  • the lying device To lie comfortably in any position, the lying device must be a support function that adapts to every situation exercise.
  • Conventional beds therefore have one Slatted frame with raised, springy crossbars. Further With conventional beds, special attention is paid to the structure the mattress placed on this slatted frame.
  • EP-A-0'116'237 discloses a lying device which consists of two inflatable longitudinal spars arranged parallel to each other exists at which tangential and transverse to the longitudinal direction a number of pockets are attached.
  • these Bags are inserted crossbars, one end each Crossbar in one of the longitudinal spars and the other end in other longitudinal spar is held. This creates a rust, which has increased flexibility.
  • the fixation of the Crossbars with respect to the longitudinal spars will in the event that this substructure is inserted into a bed frame, of which Side walls taken over.
  • there is one yoke-like construction which of the longitudinal spars is interspersed and with which the two longitudinal spars mutually be striven for.
  • this yoke-like construction a crossbar is also inserted to ensure stability to ensure.
  • the assembly of this strut is relative complicated and therefore often not feasible by the customer.
  • the variant without struts is unstable and especially if the bed base, for example, in the course moved to a house cleaning or out of the bed frame must be removed, unsuitable.
  • 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 rusted ones above it Crossbars.
  • the crossbars are over an all-over cloth connected to each other, which is also the longitudinal spar fixed.
  • the cloth points to two opposite On the longitudinal edges of pockets aligned transversely to the longitudinal direction, in which the ends of the crossbars are held.
  • the longitudinal spars between the as Fabric and the crossbars arranged in another variant tunnel tracks are attached to the cloth, into which the longitudinal spars are inserted.
  • fastening strap can be chosen to be relatively short, the following is: the risk of material fatigue and thus reduction fixed stability.
  • the fastening tape runs parallel to the crossbars and has a maximum width in a preferred embodiment a single crossbar. This makes it very discreet. arranged and does not disturb the appearance. Also are none significantly protruding or drooping There are elements that could serve as dust catchers or hooked into which, for example, when vacuuming could be.
  • FIG. 1 to 5 is a first embodiment of the Bed base structure according to the invention shown. It includes how best seen in Figures 1 and 2, essentially two spaced and parallel to each other, elastic or resilient longitudinal bars 1 or spring body and several rust-like transverse slats 2, which lie on the longitudinal spars 1 and connect them to each other.
  • the longitudinal bars 1 are made of an elastomeric material, preferably made of latex, and with a textile Cover, preferably natural cotton. You can have any cross section, which like can be rectangular, for example, shown here. He can but 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 are at least approximately flat.
  • the Pockets 3 sewn on to the side rails 1 so that they form a lateral extension. They generally exist also made of a textile material, in particular from a fabric made of pure natural fibers such as hemp or Cotton.
  • the ends of the crossbars 2 are in these pockets 3 inserted and held therein, one from the pockets 3 outstanding part of the crossbars 2 on the longitudinal spars 1 lies on. Since the pockets 3 on one side on the longitudinal spars 1 are attached is on the opposite side of the Longitudinal bar 1 is a loop band running in the longitudinal direction 4 attached, through the loops of the crossbars 2nd are carried out.
  • each longitudinal spar 1 there is at least one fastening means. 5 connected, which consists of a connecting means and a Fastening strap 52 exists, as is the case in FIGS. 3 and 5 can be seen.
  • the fastening strap 52 is another Longitudinal spars 1 directed and extends transversely to Longitudinal direction.
  • the fastening strap 52 is also preferably from a textile material such as made from woven natural textile fibers.
  • the lanyard consists of two in Longitudinally spaced from one another, on the longitudinal spars 1 attached fastening loops 50, which from Textile tapes, such as woven cotton, are made are, and a connecting bolt 51 which passes through this Fastening loops 50 is pushed through.
  • the Fastening strap 52 wraps around the middle, between the Fastening loops 50 exposed area of the connecting bolt 51. This construction is the manufacture and simplifies the assembly of the fastener.
  • the fastening strap 52 can be made narrow, even if the distribution of forces on the longitudinal spars 1 over one larger area.
  • the width of the fastening tape 51 therefore preferably corresponds to a maximum of the width a crossbar 2.
  • the length is between 8 to 20 cm, preferably about 14 cm.
  • the fastening band 52 has a buttonhole, which of a fastening button 20 attached to a crossbar 2 is enforced.
  • the fastening tape 52 on the Crossbar 2 attached and each longitudinal spar 1 separately from other longitudinal spars fixed with respect to the crossbars 2.
  • the fastening button 20, as shown in FIG. 4, preferably from one driven into the crossbar 2 Wooden dowel with a protruding head.
  • the fastening band 52 and the fastening button 20 are on the underside of the bed base, i.e. from the bed surface turned away, arranged.
  • longitudinal spars are on each 1 two or more fastening straps 52 with separate Connecting means spaced from each other, wherein. each fastening strap 52 has its own fastening button 20 assigned.
  • an adjacent fastening strap of the opposite Longitudinal bar 1 the associated fastening button 20 on the same crossbar 2 is attached as the fastening button the first fastening tape.
  • FIG. 6 shows a second embodiment of the bed base structure according to the invention.
  • the upper crossbars 2 ' are generally thinner and thus more flexible than the lower ones.
  • the longitudinal spars 1 have an L-shaped cross section and thus form a right angle.
  • the upper crossbars 2 'thus rest on the end face of the short leg 12.
  • the lower crossbars 2 lie on the inside of the long leg 13 and penetrate the longitudinal spar 1.
  • the longitudinal spar 1 is shown with the zipper 10 of the sheath 10 partially open.
  • the longitudinal spar 1 consists of two spring body cores 11 arranged one above the other and surrounded by a textile cover 10, between which the ends of the lower crossbars 2 are pushed.
  • a loop band 4 is also attached, the loops of which are penetrated by the lower crossbars 2.
  • the fastening band 52 is on the connecting means End face of the long leg 13 attached.
  • the fastening buttons 20 are at least one on the bottom lower crossbar 2 attached.
  • the support bar 6 has a loop band 60 which extends over at least approximately the entire length and through whose loops the lower crossbars 2 are guided. So that the at least one support bar 6 does not shift in its position and thus does not impair lying comfort, in the embodiment shown here it is attached to the lower crossbars 2 with at least one fastening tape 61 having a buttonhole.
  • These second fastening straps 61 consist of a textile material and are fastened to the loop strap 60, preferably woven into them.
  • the second fastening tapes 61 are, as shown here, attached to the fastening buttons 20 used to fix the longitudinal bars 1 or to separate fastening buttons. If there is only one support bar 6, it is attached to the attachment buttons 20 on both sides via the second attachment straps 61. If several, in particular two, support bars 6 are present, in one embodiment only the outermost support bars 6 are connected on their side facing the longitudinal bars 1 via the second fastening band 61 to the closest fastening button. In order to prevent displacement in the other direction, the support bars 6 are connected to one another via fixedly arranged or detachable bands.
