Description

L'invention concerne le domaine de la suspension élastique de lattes d'un sommier à lattes.The invention relates to the field of elastic suspension of slats of a slatted base.

Elle concerne plus précisément un dispositif de suspension de lattes d'un sommier, du type comportant un embout monobloc présentant une section supérieure qui comporte au moins un logement pour accueillir l'extrémité d'une latte, une section inférieure munie de moyens d'ancrage dudit embout sur un cadre de sommier, et une section intermédiaire reliant la section supérieure à la section inférieure et constituant l'élément de suspension élastique.It relates more precisely to a suspension device for slats of a box spring, of the type comprising a monobloc end piece having an upper section which includes at least one housing for accommodating the end of a slat, a lower section provided with anchoring means of said end piece on a box spring frame, and an intermediate section connecting the upper section to the lower section and constituting the element elastic suspension.

En général, les longs pans du cadre sont équipés de tenons, qui émergent sur les faces internes du cadre et qui sont destinés à coopérer avec les moyens d'ancrage de l'embout.In general, the long sides of the frame are fitted with studs, which emerge on the internal faces of the frame and which are intended for cooperate with the means for anchoring the endpiece.

Traditionnellement, les logements des extrémités des lattes sont constitués par des trous borgnes dont l'orifice d'entrée est dirigé vers l'intérieur du sommier. Cette disposition entraíne des difficultés lors du montage et du démontage des lattes, car il est nécessaire de déformer élastiquement soit les embouts, soit les lattes pour procéder au montage ou au démontage.Traditionally, the housings at the ends of the slats consist of blind holes, the inlet opening of which is directed towards inside the box spring. This provision causes difficulties during the assembly and disassembly of the slats, because it is necessary to deform either the end caps or the slats for mounting or disassembly.

FR 2 738 471 a proposé des logements traversant de part en part l'embout, et des capuchons coiffant l'ensemble constitué par une extrémité de latte et au moins une partie de la section supérieure de l'embout, chaque capuchon étant destiné à immobiliser l'extrémité de la latte dans son embout. Pour faciliter l'introduction de l'extrémité de latte dans le logement, ce document prévoit une fente transversale qui s'étend sur toute l'étendue du logement. Le capuchon doit empêcher le déplacement transversal de la latte dans son logement. Il est donc nécessaire que les moyens de fixation rapide du capuchon sur l'embout puissent supporter sans dommages les efforts transversaux exercés par les lattes.FR 2 738 471 proposed housing crossing right through share the tip, and caps covering the assembly consisting of a batten end and at least part of the upper section of the nozzle, each cap being intended to immobilize the end of the latte in its tip. To facilitate the insertion of the batten end in the housing, this document provides a transverse slot which extends over the whole extent of the accommodation. The cap must prevent the transverse movement of the slat in its housing. It is therefore necessary that the means of rapid fixing of the cap on the nozzle can withstand without damage the transverse forces exerted by the slats.

FR 2 777 761 dévoile un autre embout de latte dont le logement est constitué par un clip ayant une lamelle inférieure sur laquelle repose l'extrémité de la latte, cette lamelle comportant à ses extrémités des replis en forme de crochets qui enveloppent les flancs de la latte et s'étendent légèrement sur le dessus de la latte. FR 2,777,761 discloses another batten tip, the housing is constituted by a clip having a lower lamella on which rests the end of the slat, this strip having at its ends hook-shaped folds that wrap around the sides of the slat and extend slightly over the top of the slat.

Le but de l'invention est de proposer un dispositif tel que mentionné en introduction qui permette un montage aisé de la latte, et qui empêche tout déplacement transversal ultérieur de la latte.The object of the invention is to propose a device such as mentioned in the introduction which allows easy mounting of the batten, and which prevents any later transverse displacement of the slat.

Le dispositif selon l'invention est caractérisé par le fait que le logement est délimité par un fond vertical et par une paroi périphérique déformable qui s'étend horizontalement à partir du fond et dont la section interne est conformée à la section d'une latte, et par le fait que ladite paroi périphérique présente latéralement sur sa face supérieure une échancrure transversale adaptée pour permettre l'introduction d'une extrémité de latte dans ledit logement par coulissement dans une direction oblique.The device according to the invention is characterized in that the housing is delimited by a vertical bottom and by a peripheral wall deformable which extends horizontally from the bottom and whose cross section internal is conformed to the section of a slat, and by the fact that said wall device laterally has a notch on its upper face transverse adapted to allow the introduction of a batten end in said housing by sliding in an oblique direction.

Les deux extrémités d'une latte sont naturellement insérées en même temps dans leur logement respectif.The two ends of a slat are naturally inserted in same time in their respective accommodation.

Avantageusement, le dispositif comporte en outre un capuchon susceptible de coiffer au moins la face supérieure et les faces latérales de la paroi périphérique du logement et des moyens de fixation rapide du capuchon sur l'embout.Advantageously, the device also comprises a cap capable of covering at least the upper face and the lateral faces of the peripheral wall of the housing and means of rapid fixing of the cap on the nozzle.

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 en perspective d'un embout bi-latte conforme à l'invention, cette vue étant prise du côté intérieur du sommier ;
  • la figure 2 est une vue en perspective, prise de l'extérieur du sommier de l'embout bi-latte de la figure 1 ;
  • la figure 3 est une vue en perspective d'un capuchon susceptible de coiffer la paroi périphérique d'un logement de latte ;
  • la figure 4 est une vue en perspective de l'embout bi-latte de la figure 1 coiffé par deux capuchons ; et
  • la figure 5 est une coupe selon un plan longitudinal vertical de l'embout montré sur la figure 4.
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 perspective view of a bi-batten tip according to the invention, this view being taken from the inside of the bed base;
  • Figure 2 is a perspective view, taken from the outside of the base of the bi-slat end piece of Figure 1;
  • Figure 3 is a perspective view of a cap capable of covering the peripheral wall of a slat housing;
  • Figure 4 is a perspective view of the bi-slat nozzle of Figure 1 capped by two caps; and
  • FIG. 5 is a section on a vertical longitudinal plane of the nozzle shown in FIG. 4.

Les figures 1 et 2 montrent un embout monobloc 1 conforme à l'invention et réalisé dans un matériau élastique qui comporte une section supérieure 2 ayant deux logements 3a, 3b destinés à recevoir chacun une extrémité de latte 40a, 40b montrée unique sur la figure 5, une section inférieure 4 munie de moyens d'ancrage 5a, 5b sur un cadre de sommier, non montré sur les dessins, et une section intermédiaire 6 reliant la section supérieure 2 à la section inférieure 4 et constituant l'élément de suspension.Figures 1 and 2 show a one-piece nozzle 1 conforming to the invention and made of an elastic material which has a section upper 2 having two housings 3a, 3b each intended to receive a batten end 40a, 40b shown single in FIG. 5, a section lower 4 provided with anchoring means 5a, 5b on a box spring frame, not shown in the drawings, and an intermediate section 6 connecting the upper section 2 to lower section 4 and constituting the element of suspension.

La section inférieure 4 comporte deux alésages parallèles 5a et 5b destinés chacun à recevoir une vis ou un tenon, afin de permettre la fixation de l'embout 1 sur la face interne d'un long pan. Ces alésages 5a et 5b, disposés respectivement sous les logements 3a et 3b, sont formés dans des manchons 6a et 6b reliés par une paroi inférieure 7 et par une paroi supérieure arquée 8. La paroi inférieure 7 présente sur sa face supérieure une pluralité de lamelles transversales 9 parallèles aux alésages 5a et 5b. L'espace 10 disposé entre la paroi inférieure 7 et la paroi supérieure arquée 8 peut servir de logement à l'extrémité d'une troisième latte. Les lamelles transversales 9 jouent alors le rôle d'amortisseurs, car elles peuvent s'écraser sous l'effet de la charge. La paroi inférieure 7 et la paroi supérieure arquée 8 sont réunies sur la face externe de l'embout 1 par un voile mince 11 présentant un orifice central 11a. Ce voile mince 11 sert de fond au logement 10 de l'extrémité de la troisième latte et empêche le déplacement transversal de la troisième latte. Dans le présent mémoire, on appelle face externe de l'embout 1 la face visible de l'extérieur du sommier, et on appelle face interne de l'embout 1 la face visible de l'intérieur du sommier. De même, on emploie l'adjectif transversal pour désigner une direction dans le sens de la largeur du sommier, et l'adjectif longitudinal pour désigner une direction dans le sens de la longueur du sommier.The lower section 4 has two parallel bores 5a and 5b each intended to receive a screw or a tenon, in order to allow the attachment of the end-piece 1 on the internal face of a long section. These 5a bores and 5b, arranged respectively under the housings 3a and 3b, are formed in sleeves 6a and 6b connected by a bottom wall 7 and by a arched upper wall 8. The lower wall 7 has on its face upper a plurality of transverse lamellae 9 parallel to the bores 5a and 5b. The space 10 disposed between the bottom wall 7 and the arched upper wall 8 can be used as a housing at the end of a third batten. The transverse lamellae 9 then play the role shock absorbers because they can crash under the effect of the load. The lower wall 7 and the arched upper wall 8 are joined on the face external of the end piece 1 by a thin veil 11 having a central orifice 11a. This thin veil 11 serves as a bottom for the housing 10 at the end of the third batten and prevents transverse displacement of the third lath. In the present specification, the external face of the end piece 1 is called the face visible from the outside of the box spring, and the internal face of the end piece 1 the visible face of the interior of the bed base. Likewise, we use the transverse adjective to designate a direction across the width of the bed base, and the longitudinal adjective to designate a direction in the sense of the length of the box spring.

La section intermédiaire 6 comporte deux manchons 12a et 12b espacés et raccordés respectivement à un manchon 3a et 3b, et à une extrémité de la paroi supérieure arquée 8.The intermediate section 6 has two sleeves 12a and 12b spaced apart and connected respectively to a sleeve 3a and 3b, and to one end of the arched upper wall 8.

Au-dessus de chacun des manchons 12a et 12b est prévue une pluralité de lamelles 13a et 13b verticales. Chaque jeu de lamelles 13a ou 13b supporte un logement 3a, 3b. Ces logements 3a et 3b sont disposés symétriquement par rapport à un plan médian vertical et transversal.Above each of the sleeves 12a and 12b is provided a plurality of vertical strips 13a and 13b. Each set of slats 13a or 13b supports a housing 3a, 3b. These housings 3a and 3b are arranged symmetrically with respect to a vertical median plane and transverse.

Chaque logement 3a ou 3b comporte une cavité 14 délimitée par un fond 15 externe vertical et par une paroi périphérique 16 qui s'étend parallèlement à l'axe des alésages 5a, 5b à partir du fond 15 et dont la section interne est conformée à la section d'une extrémité de latte. Each housing 3a or 3b has a delimited cavity 14 by a vertical external bottom 15 and by a peripheral wall 16 which extends parallel to the axis of the bores 5a, 5b from the bottom 15 and the internal section of which conforms to the section of one end of the batten.

Ainsi que cela se voit clairement sur la figure 1, la paroi périphérique 16 présente latéralement sur sa face supérieure 16a une échancrure transversale 17, délimitée par deux lèvres transversales 17a, 17b parallèles à l'axe des alésages 5a, 5b, et dont la distance dans la direction de la longueur du sommier est calculée pour permettre l'introduction d'une extrémité de latte dans la cavité 14 par coulissement dans une direction oblique. La paroi périphérique 16 comporte ainsi une plaquette inférieure 18 horizontale raccordée aux extrémités supérieures des lamelles 13a ou 13b, deux parois d'extrémité courbes 19a et 19b raccordées aux extrémités de la plaquette inférieure et destinées à enserrer les flancs d'une extrémité de latte ; et une paroi supérieure 20 raccordée à l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi d'extrémité 19b, et dont la lèvre 17b est disposée en regard de la lèvre 17a constituant l'extrémité supérieure de la paroi d'extrémité 19a. Lors du passage de l'extrémité de latte par l'échancrure 17, la paroi supérieure 20 se déforme élastiquement, et la paroi d'extrémité 19a agit à la manière d'un clip à la fin de l'opération d'introduction.As can be clearly seen in Figure 1, the wall peripheral 16 has laterally on its upper face 16a a transverse notch 17, delimited by two transverse lips 17a, 17b parallel to the axis of the bores 5a, 5b, and the distance of which in the length direction of the bed base is calculated to allow the introduction of a batten end into the cavity 14 by sliding in an oblique direction. The peripheral wall 16 thus comprises a horizontal lower plate 18 connected to the upper ends lamellae 13a or 13b, two curved end walls 19a and 19b connected to the ends of the lower plate and intended for grip the sides of one end of the batten; and an upper wall 20 connected to the upper end of the end wall 19b, and the lip 17b is arranged opposite lip 17a constituting the end upper end wall 19a. When passing the end of slat by the notch 17, the upper wall 20 is deformed elastically, and the end wall 19a acts like a clip at the end of the introduction operation.

Ainsi que cela se voit sur la figure 2, les lamelles extrêmes d'un jeu de lamelles 13a ou 13b présentent une découpe 21 ouverte sur la face externe de l'embout 1, et la plaquette inférieure 18 présente, sur sa face inférieure en regard de la découpe 21, une rainure transversale 22. La paroi supérieure 20 présente sur sa face supérieure une pluralité de nervures longitudinales 23. La fonction des découpes 21, des rainures transversales 22 et des nervures longitudinales 23 est de permettre le guidage en cours de montage et l'immobilisation d'un capuchon 24 destiné à coiffer la paroi périphérique 16 d'un logement 13a ou 13b et décrit ci-après.As can be seen in Figure 2, the extreme lamellae of a set of strips 13a or 13b have a cutout 21 open on the external face of the end piece 1, and the lower plate 18 has, on its lower face opposite the cutout 21, a transverse groove 22. The upper wall 20 has on its upper face a plurality of longitudinal ribs 23. The function of the cutouts 21, of the grooves transverse 22 and longitudinal ribs 23 is to allow the guidance during assembly and immobilization of a cap 24 intended to cover the peripheral wall 16 of a housing 13a or 13b and described below.

La figure 3 montre en perspective un capuchon 24. Ce capuchon 24 réalisé par moulage d'un matériau thermoplastique élastomère présente une cavité interne 25 dont la section selon un plan vertical longitudinal est conformée à la section externe de la paroi périphérique 16. La cavité interne 25 est délimitée par une paroi supérieure 26 destinée à recouvrir une paroi supérieure 20 et une échancrure 17, deux parois latérales courbes 27a, 27b destinées à enserrer deux parois d'extrémité 19a et 19b, et une paroi inférieure 28 qui présente une échancrure 29, dans laquelle viennent loger les lamelles 13a ou 13b hormis les lamelles extrêmes d'un jeu de lamelles. Les bords transversaux de l'échancrure 29 présentent sur leur face supérieure une nervure transversale 30 destinée à loger dans une rainure correspondante 22 de la plaquette inférieure 18, et sur leur face inférieure une rainure transversale 31 dans laquelle vient loger l'extrémité supérieure d'une lamelle extrême. La rainure 31 est disposée en regard d'une nervure 30 et l'épaisseur de la paroi inférieure 28 dans cette région est égale à la hauteur d'une découpe 21. La paroi supérieure 26 présente sur sa face inférieure des rainures transversales non visibles sur la figure 3 dans lesquelles viennent loger les nervures longitudinales 23 de la paroi périphérique 16, et sur sa face supérieure des nervures longitudinales parallèles 32 destinés à retenir un matelas.Figure 3 shows in perspective a cap 24. This cap 24 produced by molding a thermoplastic material elastomer has an internal cavity 25 whose cross section along a plane longitudinal vertical conforms to the external section of the wall peripheral 16. The internal cavity 25 is delimited by a wall upper 26 intended to cover an upper wall 20 and a notch 17, two curved side walls 27a, 27b intended for enclose two end walls 19a and 19b, and a bottom wall 28 which has a notch 29 in which the lamellae are housed 13a or 13b except for the end strips of a set of strips. Edges transverse of the notch 29 have on their upper face a transverse rib 30 intended to be housed in a corresponding groove 22 of the lower plate 18, and on their lower face a groove transverse 31 in which the upper end of a extreme coverslip. The groove 31 is arranged opposite a rib 30 and the thickness of the bottom wall 28 in this region is equal to the height of a cutout 21. The upper wall 26 has on its face lower transverse grooves not visible in Figure 3 in which accommodate the longitudinal ribs 23 of the wall peripheral 16, and on its upper face longitudinal ribs parallel 32 for retaining a mattress.

Ainsi que cela se voit sur la figure 3, la paroi supérieure 26 du capuchon 24 présente en outre du côté de l'orifice de la cavité 25 une traverse 33 qui obture en partie l'orifice de la cavité 25 et qui vient se positionner sur le bord interne de la paroi supérieure 20 d'un logement 3a ou 3b ainsi que cela est montré sur la figure 4.As can be seen in FIG. 3, the upper wall 26 of the cap 24 also has on the side of the orifice of cavity 25 a crosspiece 33 which partially blocks the orifice of the cavity 25 and which comes position on the inner edge of the upper wall 20 of a housing 3a or 3b as shown in Figure 4.

La figure 5 montre clairement la coopération des nervures 29 avec les rainures 22, des rainures 30 avec les bords supérieurs des lamelles extrêmes d'un jeu de lamelles 13a ou 13b et d'une nervure longitudinale 23 avec la rainure correspondante de la paroi supérieure 26 d'un capuchon 24.Figure 5 clearly shows the cooperation of the ribs 29 with the grooves 22, grooves 30 with the upper edges of the end strips of a set of strips 13a or 13b and a rib longitudinal 23 with the corresponding groove in the upper wall 26 a cap 24.

Les capuchons 24 se terminent du côté externe d'un embout bi-latte 1 par des pointes arrondies 34 afin de donner à l'ensemble un bel aspect esthétique.The caps 24 terminate on the external side of a bi-batten tip 1 with rounded tips 34 to give the whole a nice look aesthetic appearance.
