Les extrémités des deux premiers leviers 42 sont reliées par une tige de liaison 43 qui comporte à chacune de ses extrémités un galet 44 destiné à coulisser dans une rainure 45 formée sur la face interne des longerons de pied 26, 27, parallèlement à ces derniers, et située près de l'axe d'articulation 29 de la partie pied 7 sur la partie médiane 6.The mechanism 40 for tilting the middle part 6 and the part foot 7 has a first transverse shaft 41 pivotally mounted at ends of the side members 11 adjacent to the crosspiece 13. This shaft 41 carries two first levers 42 lateral and parallel to each other, one of which only visible on the drawings, which extend perpendicular to the axis of the shaft 41. The ends of the first two levers 42 are connected by a connecting rod 43 which has at each of its ends a roller 44 intended to slide in a groove 45 formed on the internal face of the foot rails 26, 27, parallel to these last, and located near the articulation axis 29 of the foot part 7 on the middle part 6.

    Le premier arbre transversal 41 porte en outre un bras de levier 50 qui s'étend vers le bas dans une direction sensiblement perpendiculaire aux premiers leviers 42. Un bras télescopique 51, réalisé sous la forme d'une tige de vérin 52 sortant d'un corps de vérin 53, est interposé entre l'extrémité libre du bras de levier 50 et une barre 54 parallèle à la traverse de pied 30 et reliant les longerons de pied 26, 27 dans une zone éloignée de l'axe d'articulation 29.The first transverse shaft 41 further carries a lever arm 50 which extends downward in a direction substantially perpendicular to the first levers 42. A telescopic arm 51, produced in the form of an actuator rod 52 emerging from an actuator body 53, is interposed between the free end of the lever arm 50 and a bar 54 parallel to the foot cross member 30 and connecting the foot side members 26, 27 in an area remote from the hinge pin 29.

    Le mécanisme 60 pour relever la partie tête 5 comporte un deuxième arbre transversal 61 monté pivotant aux extrémités des longerons 11 voisines de la traverse 12. Cet arbre 61 porte deux deuxièmes leviers 62 latéraux et parallèles entre eux, dont un seul est montré sur les dessins, qui s'étendent perpendiculièrement à l'axe de l'arbre 61. Les extrémités des deux deuxièmes leviers 62 sont reliées par une tige de liaison 63 qui comporte à chacune de ses extrémités un galet 64 destiné à coulisser dans une rainure 65 formée sur la face interne des longerons de tête 21, 22, parallèlement à ces derniers, et située près de la traverse de tête 20.The mechanism 60 for raising the head part 5 comprises a second transverse shaft 61 pivotally mounted at the ends of the longitudinal members 11 adjacent to the cross member 12. This shaft 61 carries two second levers 62 lateral and parallel to each other, only one of which is shown in the drawings, which extend perpendicular to the axis of the shaft 61. The ends of the two second levers 62 are connected by a connecting rod 63 which has at each of its ends a roller 64 intended to slide in a groove 65 formed on the internal face of the head rails 21, 22, parallel to these, and located near the crosshead 20.

    Des plaques de butée 66 sont prévues sur les longerons 11, au voisinage de l'axe d'articulation 25. Ces plaques de butée 66 servent d'appui aux deuxièmes leviers 62, lorsque ces derniers sont dans la position horizontale de la partie tête 5.Stop plates 66 are provided on the longitudinal members 11, at in the vicinity of the articulation axis 25. These stop plates 66 serve supporting the second levers 62, when the latter are in the horizontal position of the head part 5.

    Un boítier 70 est monté sous les traverses 12 et 13 du cadre rigide 10. Les arbres transversaux 41 et 61 traversent le boítier 70. Ce dernier comporte deux moteurs électriques qui permettent de faire pivoter respectivement le premier arbre 41 et le deuxième arbre 61. Le bras télescopique 51 comporte son propre moteur électrique 71.A housing 70 is mounted under the crosspieces 12 and 13 of the frame rigid 10. The transverse shafts 41 and 61 pass through the housing 70. This last one has two electric motors which allow to do pivot the first shaft 41 and the second shaft 61 respectively. telescopic arm 51 has its own electric motor 71.

    Les trois moteurs électriques sont reliés à un boítier de commande ou de télécommande, non montré sur les dessins, qui permet de modifier à volonté la conformation du sommier articulé 4.The three electric motors are connected to a box of control or remote control, not shown in the drawings, which allows to modify at will the conformation of the articulated bed base 4.

    Le boítier de commande comporte notamment un ensemble de boutons pour commander le pivotement de la partie tête 5 entre la position horizontale montrée sur la figure 1 et une position relevée, un deuxième ensemble de boutons pour commander le pivotement du premier arbre transversal 41 entre une position dans laquelle la partie médiane 6 est à l'horizontale, et une position déclive dans laquelle la partie médiane 6 est inclinée au-dessus de l'horizontale et la partie pied 7 est essentiellement au-dessus de l'horizontale, et un troisième ensemble de boutons pour modifier l'inclinaison de la partie pied 7.The control unit includes in particular a set of buttons to control the pivoting of the head part 5 between the horizontal position shown in Figure 1 and a raised position, a second set of buttons to control the pivoting of the first transverse shaft 41 between a position in which the part median 6 is horizontal, and a declining position in which the middle part 6 is inclined above the horizontal and the foot part 7 is essentially above the horizontal, and a third set of buttons to modify the inclination of the foot part 7.

    Il est à noter que le sommier 4 peut prendre une position dans laquelle la partie médiane 6 est sensiblement horizontale et la partie pied 7 est inclinée vers le bas au-dessous du plan horizontal de la partie médiane 6.It should be noted that the box spring 4 can take a position in which the middle part 6 is substantially horizontal and the part foot 7 is inclined downward below the horizontal plane of the part median 6.

    Du fait que le cadre fixe 10 s'étend sensiblement en dessous de la partie médiane 6 et que le cadre fixe 10 est supporté par les arceaux 14 et 15, la partie pied 7 peut être repliée sous l'horizontale sans danger de blessure pour l'usager.Because the fixed frame 10 extends substantially below the middle part 6 and that the fixed frame 10 is supported by the arches 14 and 15, the leg part 7 can be folded under the horizontal without danger of injury to the user.
