Abstract

The bed with a three-dimensionally movable mattreess (15) has a frame (10,12) with feet on which the mattress is accommodated in a non-sprung but pliable manner. Over the surface of the mattress sensors (16) are distributed, in order to determine the localized depression of the mattress surface under load. Over the surface of the mattress are distributed lifting devices (19) responding to the localized depression, in order to return the mattresses to the correct horizontal position independently of the localized different loads. The sensors and lifting devices are formeed as double-acting pressure medium cylinders and are connected crosswise to each other.

Description

Bett mit beweglich gelagerter Matratzenauflage. Bed with moveable mattress topper.
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Bett mit einer dreidimensional beweglich gelagerten Matratzenauflage und einem Bettgestell mit Füßen, das die Matratzenauflage aufnimmt.The invention relates to a bed with a three-dimensionally movably supported mattress pad and a bed frame with feet, which receives the mattress pad.
Ein derartiges Bett als Kinderbett ist bekannt (DE-OS 24 52 086) . Bei dem bekannten Bett wird die Matratzenauflage dadurch beweglich gelagert, dass die Füße des Bettes nicht direkt auf dem Boden stehen, sondern mittelbar über Federn. Ein derartiges Bett hat jedoch den gravierenden Nachteil, dass ein Kind, wenn es sich beispielsweise in eine Ecke hin bewegt, die Matratzenauflage in eine räumlich schiefe Lage bringt, so dass nicht nur der Schlafco fort leidet, sondern das Kind auch an das Gitter oder die Bettgestelle gedrückt wird.Such a bed as a child's bed is known (DE-OS 24 52 086). In the known bed, the mattress topper is movably supported in that the feet of the bed are not directly on the floor, but indirectly via springs. However, such a bed has the serious disadvantage that when a child moves, for example, into a corner, the mattress topper is in a spatially oblique position, so that not only does the sofa bed suffer, but the child also suffers from the bars or the Bed frames is pressed.
Es ist weiterhin eine anpaßbare Schwingliege bekannt, bei welcher ein Schwingrahmen auf vier Schwingständern gehaltert wird und Federelemente dafür sorgen, daß die Schwingliege Schwingungen durchführen kann und zwar in mehreren räumlichen Achsen (DE 43 00 425 C 2 sowie DE 196 54 500 Bei einer Vorrichtung zum Stützen des menschlichen Körpers (DE 196 33 318 C 1) befinden sich an einer Stützfläche Druckmittelzylinder, die so beaufschlagt werden können, daß der ausfahrbare Teleskopteil der Druckmittelzylinder sich an die Konturierung des menschlichen Körpers anpaßt.There is also a customizable swing table in which a swing frame is held on four swing stands and spring elements ensure that the swing bed can carry out vibrations in several spatial axes (DE 43 00 425 C 2 and DE 196 54 500 In a device for supporting the human body (DE 196 33 318 C1) there are pressure medium cylinders on a support surface which can be acted upon in such a way that the extendable telescopic part of the pressure medium cylinders adapts to the contour of the human body.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist, ein Bett der eingangs genannten Art so auszugestalten, dass unabängig von der Lage, die der Benutzer im Bett einnimmt, die Matratze immer wieder in die horizontale Ebene zurückgeht.The object of the present invention is to design a bed of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that the mattress always returns to the horizontal plane, regardless of the position which the user occupies in bed.
Erreicht wird dies dadurch, dass bei einem Bett der eingangs genannten Art die Matratzenauflagen nicht federnd aber nachgiebig am Bettgestell befestigt ist; über die Fläche der Matratzenauflage verteilt Sensoren angeordnet sind, um die örtliche Absenkung der Matratzenauflage bei Belastung festzustellen; und ebenfalls über die Fläche der Matratzenauflage verteilt auf die örtliche Absenkung ansprechende Hubeinrichtungen zwischen Matratzenauflage und Bettgestell angeordnet sind, um die Matratzenauflage unabhängig von der örtlich unterschiedlichen Belastung waagerecht auszurichten, wobei die Sensoren und Hubeinrichtungen jeweils als doppeltwirkender Druckmittelzylinder ausgebildet und kreuzweise zueinander angeschlossen sind.This is achieved in that in a bed of the type mentioned the mattress toppers are not resiliently but flexibly attached to the bed frame; sensors are arranged distributed over the surface of the mattress to determine the local lowering of the mattress when loaded; and also distributed over the surface of the mattress support to the local lowering appealing lifting devices between mattress support and bed frame in order to align the mattress support horizontally regardless of the locally different load, the sensors and lifting devices each being designed as double-acting pressure medium cylinders and connected crosswise to each other.
Für die Erfindung ist zunächst einmal wesentlich, dass mehrere, vorzugsweise vier, Sensoren vorhanden sind, die auf die örtliche Absenkung der Matratzenauflage ansprechen und ein entsprechendes Signal abgeben. Dieses Signal erreicht die zugehörigen Hubeinrichtungen, die in Tätigkeit treten, um die Matratzenauflage waagerecht auszurichten.It is first of all essential for the invention that several, preferably four, sensors are present which respond to the local lowering of the mattress topper and emit a corresponding signal. This signal reaches the associated lifting devices that take action to align the mattress support horizontally.
Bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Bettes gemäß der Erfindung sind die Sensoren und Hubeinrichtung als doppelwirkende Druckmittelzylinder ausgebildet, die kreuzweise zueinander angeschlossen sind. Bei einer weiterhin bevorzugten Ausführungsform befinden sich die Druckmittelzylinder jeweils im Bereich jeder Ecke des Bettes.In a preferred embodiment of the bed according to the invention, the sensors and lifting device are as Double-acting pressure medium cylinders are formed, which are connected crosswise to each other. In a further preferred embodiment, the pressure medium cylinders are located in the area of each corner of the bed.
Diese Druckmittelzylinder stellen die einfachste Art eines Sensors und zugleich eines Antriebes dar, wenn sie kreuzweise zueinander verschaltet werden. So wird beispielsweise der untere Ausgang des einen Druckmittelzylinders mit dem oberen Eingang des diagonal gegenüberliegenden Druckmittelzylinders verbunden, was dazu führt, dass die Absenkung in einer Ecke des Bettes erfasst und diese Absenkung entsprechend gegengesteuert wird.These pressure medium cylinders represent the simplest type of sensor and, at the same time, of a drive if they are connected crosswise to one another. For example, the lower outlet of one pressure medium cylinder is connected to the upper input of the diagonally opposite pressure medium cylinder, which means that the lowering is detected in a corner of the bed and this lowering is counteracted accordingly.
Mit dieser Konstruktion eines Kinderbettes wird nach der Geburt auf die Lebensgewohnheit in der vorgeburtlichen Phase Bezug genommen. Kennzeichnend ist die Lattenrostebene, wenn sie schwingend gelagert ist, jede Bewegung des Kindes aufnimmt, so dass das Kind die ihm bereits bekannten Bewegungen im Mutterleib auch nach der Geburt wieder vorfindet . Von Bedeutung ist hierbei, dass es sich nicht um eine Bewegung handelt, die von außen auf die Schlafebene übertragen wird, sondern dass lediglich die Bewegungen des Kindes erfasst und ein waagerechter Ausgleich bewerkstelligt wird.With this construction of a child's bed, reference is made to the way of life in the prenatal phase after birth. Characteristic is the slatted frame level, when it is swinging, absorbs every movement of the child, so that the child finds the movements in the womb that are already known to him even after birth. What is important here is that it is not a movement that is transferred from the outside to the sleeping level, but that only the movements of the child are recorded and a horizontal compensation is achieved.
Die leichten Bewegungen des Säuglings werden also aufgenommen und zurückgegeben, ohne dass eine schiefe Schlafebene entsteht. Diese wird z. B. sichergestellt durch die Anordnung von Zylindern oder alternativ Bälgen am Lattenrost, die über eine Hydraulik bei jeder Bewegung die Horizontallage wieder herstellt .The light movements of the baby are thus absorbed and returned without creating an oblique sleeping level. This is z. B. ensured by the arrangement of cylinders or alternatively bellows on the slatted frame, which restores the horizontal position with every movement via a hydraulic system.
Die erste Lattenrostebene ist vorzugsweise mit einem Abstand zu den Bettinnnenwänden an GummiSchlaufen schwingend aufgehängt . Zur Lagestabilisierung befindet sich unterhalb - alternativ auch oberhalb - des Lattenrostes eine Hydraulik-Kombination, alternativ Hydraulik-Bälge, die bei einseitiger Gewichtsverlagerung die Schlafebene in der waagerechten Lage hält . Die Lagerung des Kindes ist so bei geradem Rücken und in jeder Lage möglich, ohne dass auf beruhigendes Schwingen oder Schaukeln verzichtet werden muss. Hinzu kommt, dass das Kind selbst bestimmen kann wie stark die Schwingung ist.The first slatted frame level is preferably suspended from rubber loops at a distance from the inner walls of the bed. To stabilize the position, there is a hydraulic combination below - or alternatively above - the slatted frame, alternatively hydraulic bellows, which keeps the sleeping level in a horizontal position when the weight is shifted on one side. The child can be positioned with a straight back and in any position without having to do without soothing swinging or rocking. In addition, the child can determine how strong the vibration is.
Das Bett mit den Standardmaßen eines handelsüblichen Kinderbettes kann später den Lebens- und Wachstumsbedingungen des Kindes flexibel angepasst werden. Entsprechend der Zunahme an Gewicht und Größe des Kindes kann das Lattenrost auf eine andere beliebig gewählte Ebene versetzt werden. Die Eltern können entscheiden, ob die schwingende Ebene erhalten bleibt oder ein fester Lattenrost bevorzugt wird. Ein vorgefertigter vorhandener Blendrahmen nimmt das kleinere Lattenrost der oberen Ebene auf . Die Fixierung erfolgt durch die entsprechenden Bohrungen, die die vorhandenen Bolzen aufnimmt und schließt dann bündig an die Innenwand des Bettes an.The bed with the standard dimensions of a commercially available children's bed can later be flexibly adapted to the living and growing conditions of the child. According to the increase in weight and height of the child, the slatted frame can be moved to another level of your choice. The parents can decide whether the vibrating level is retained or a fixed slatted frame is preferred. A pre-made existing frame accommodates the smaller slatted frame on the upper level. The fixation takes place through the corresponding holes, which receives the existing bolts and then connects flush to the inner wall of the bed.
Die Längsseiten und Querseiten des Bettchens sind in den ersten Monaten der Nutzung in Höhe des noch schwingend aufgelagerten Lattenrostes mit einer Blende verletzungssicher verdeckt. Diese Blende wird in einem späteren Lebensalter nach unten versetzt und bildet dann den Bettrahmen, der das Herausrutschen von Bettdecke und Kopfkissen verhindert.During the first months of use, the long and short sides of the crib are covered with a panel so that they are safe from injury at the height of the still slatted bed base. This screen is moved downwards in later life and then forms the bed frame, which prevents the duvet and pillow from slipping out.
Bei einem Kinderbett mit schwingendem Lattenrost nach der Erfindung sind am oberen Rahmenholz in Abständen von ca. 20 cm senkrechte Holzpflöcke eingelassen, die Gummischlaufen aufnehmen. Diese GummiSchlaufen werden über die eingelassenen Holzpflöcke unterhalb des Lattenrosten gezogen. Damit gibt das obere Lattenrost jedem Druck nach, der auf die Oberfläche ausgeübt wird. Alle Holzpflöcke haben eine Nut direkt am Rahmenholz, die die Gummistreifen bzw. Ringe fixieren, so dass sie nicht abrutschen können. Unterhalb des Rahmenholzes werden die GummiSchlaufen mit einer Schelle zusätzlich gesichert, so dass auch ein Abrutschen bei stärkerer Bewegung ausgeschlossen werden kann.In a child's bed with a swinging slatted frame according to the invention, vertical wooden pegs are inserted into the upper frame wood at intervals of approximately 20 cm, which take up rubber loops. These rubber loops are pulled over the embedded wooden pegs below the slatted frame. The upper slatted frame therefore gives in to any pressure that is exerted on the surface. All wooden stakes have a groove directly on the frame wood, which fix the rubber strips or rings so that they cannot slip off. Be below the frame wood the rubber loops are additionally secured with a clamp, so that slipping off during heavy movement can be prevented.
Der obere Blendrahmen, auf dem die Holzpflöcke befestigt sind, wird mit einer Deckleiste mit entsprechend gegenüberliegenden Bohrungen mit je zwei eingelassenen Schrauben am Bettende befestigt. Die Schraubenköpfe werden mit einem Deckel geschützt. Die Deckleiste verhindert darüber hinaus, dass die Gummis zu einem nicht gewollten Zeitpunkt entfernt werden können.The upper frame, on which the wooden pegs are attached, is attached to the end of the bed with a cover strip with corresponding opposite holes, each with two recessed screws. The screw heads are protected with a cover. The cover strip also prevents the rubbers from being removed at an undesired time.
Bei einem Kinderbett mit schwingendem Lattenrost nach der Erfindung wird auf der Ebene des schwingenden Lattenrostes eine der Hydraulik-Kombinationen angeordnet, die jede Neigung aus der waagerechten Ebene ausgleichen:In a children's bed with a swinging slatted frame according to the invention, one of the hydraulic combinations is arranged on the level of the swinging slatted frame, which compensates for any inclination from the horizontal plane:
Möglichkeit 1Possibility Number 1
Das Hydrauliksystem besteht aus vier Zylindern, deren Kammern mittig getrennt sind. Diagonal werden die Zylinder mit einem Hydraulikschlauch verbunden. Der Schlauch verbindet die untere Kammer des einen Zylinders mit der oberen Kammer des diagonal gegenüberliegenden Zylinders. Wird Druck auf den einen Zylinder ausgeübt, so fließt aus der unteren Kammer des einen Zylinders die verdrängte Hydraulikflüssigkeit in die obere Kammer des diagonal angeordneten Zylinders . Dadurch wird in beiden Zylindern der Kolben um den gleichen Hub abwärts bewegt. Diese gleichlaufende Bewegung findet auch dann statt - jedoch in umgekehrter Richtung - wenn der gegenüberliegende Zylinder durch die Bewegung des Kindes belastet wird. Die Hydraulikzylinder werden über ein Kugelgelenk mit dem Rahmenholz und dem Auflager des Zylinders verbunden. Durch dieses Kugelgelenk kann das Lattenrost horizontale Bewegungen aufnehmen und weitergeben. Möglichkeit 2The hydraulic system consists of four cylinders, the chambers of which are separated in the middle. The cylinders are diagonally connected with a hydraulic hose. The hose connects the lower chamber of one cylinder with the upper chamber of the diagonally opposite cylinder. If pressure is exerted on the one cylinder, the displaced hydraulic fluid flows from the lower chamber of the one cylinder into the upper chamber of the diagonally arranged cylinder. As a result, the piston is moved downwards by the same stroke in both cylinders. This synchronized movement also takes place - but in the opposite direction - when the opposite cylinder is loaded by the child's movement. The hydraulic cylinders are connected to the frame wood and the support of the cylinder via a ball joint. With this ball joint, the slatted frame can absorb and transmit horizontal movements. Possibility 2
Das Hydrauliksystem besteht aus acht Rollbälgen, von denen vier oberhalb und vier unterhalb des Lattenrostes angeordnet werden. Die Bälge sind fest mit dem Lattenrost und dem dazugehörigen Auflager verbunden. Der jeweils obere und untere sich diagonal gegenüberliegende Balg wird mit einer Hydraulikleitung verbunden. Bei einseitiger Belastung des unteren Balges wird über den Druckausgleich der obere diagonale Balg um den gleich Hubbeträg in die gleiche Richtung gelenkt, so dass eine Lagestabilisierung über den wechselseitigen gegenläufigen Hubweg erfolgt . Bei dieser Alternative werden waagerechte Bewegungen durch die Bälge aufgenommen und auf das Lattenrost direkt übertragen .The hydraulic system consists of eight roller bellows, four of which are arranged above and four below the slatted frame. The bellows are firmly connected to the slatted frame and the associated support. The respective upper and lower diagonally opposite bellows are connected to a hydraulic line. If the lower bellows is loaded on one side, the upper diagonal bellows is steered by the same stroke amount in the same direction via the pressure compensation, so that the position is stabilized via the reciprocal opposite stroke. With this alternative, horizontal movements are absorbed by the bellows and transferred directly to the slatted frame.
Bei einem Kinderbett mit schwingendem Lattenrost nach der Erfindung wird der Zwischenraum von Innenkante Bett zur Außenkante Lattenrost mit einer gefütterten StoffVerkleidung abgedeckt, um a) die Größe des Kinderbettes für die ersten Monate des Babys optisch zu verkleinern und der Größe des Kindes anzupassen; und b) den offene Teil bis zur Bettinnenwand weich und verletzungssicher zu verschließen. Dieses Schließen erfolgt durch eine doppelte Stoffbahn, die im Innenraum mit Schaumstoff gefüllt wird. Die untere Ebene der Stoffbahn wird am Rahmen des Lattenrostes verdeckt befestigt. Der obere Teil der Stoffbahn erhält genietete Ringe, die über die oberen Holzpflöcke, identisch wie die Gummischlaufen, gesteckt werden. Wie zum Schutz der Gummischlaufen sind auch die Nietringe durch den Blendrahmen fixiert und geschützt.In the case of a children's bed with a swinging slatted frame according to the invention, the space between the inner edge of the bed and the outer edge of the slatted frame is covered with a lined fabric covering in order to a) optically reduce the size of the children's bed for the first months of the baby and adapt it to the size of the child; and b) close the open part up to the inner wall of the bed softly and safely. This is closed by a double sheet of fabric that is filled with foam in the interior. The lower level of the fabric is attached to the frame of the slatted frame. The upper part of the fabric is given riveted rings, which are placed over the upper wooden pegs, identical to the rubber loops. As for protecting the rubber loops, the rivet rings are fixed and protected by the frame.
Bei einem Kinderbett mit schwingendem Lattenrost nach der Erfindung wird das kleinere Lattenrost in einer unteren Ebene von einem Blendrahmen aufgenommen, der entsprechend versetzt werden kann. Eine Neuanschaffung des Lattenrostes ist somit nicht erforderlich. Dieser bereits eingebaute Blendrahmen dient in der ersten Lebensphase des Kindes zur Aufnahme der Hydraulikstempel oder alternativ der Bälge. Nach Entfernen der Gummischlaufen sowie der Hydraulik wird das Lattenrost auf eine nach eigener Wahl ausgesuchte Ebene gesetzt. Der Blendrahmen enthält bereits die entsprechenden Bohrungen, in die die vorhandenen Holzpflöcke des Lattenrostes eingefügt werden. Somit ist dann das Lattenrost fixiert und kann nicht verrutschen. Die in den Abmaßen größere Matratze (70 x 1.40 cm) stellt nunmehr den direkten Anschluss zur Bettinnenwand her.In a child's bed with a swinging slatted frame according to the invention, the smaller slatted frame is received in a lower level by a frame which can be moved accordingly. A new purchase of the slatted frame is therefore not necessary. This built-in frame serves in the child's first phase of life to receive the hydraulic stamp or alternatively the bellows. After removing the rubber loops and the hydraulics, the slatted frame is placed on a level of your choice. The frame already contains the corresponding holes in which the existing wooden pegs of the slatted frame are inserted. The slatted frame is then fixed and cannot slip. The larger mattress (70 x 1.40 cm) now creates a direct connection to the inner wall of the bed.
Die Erfindung wird nachstehend anhand der Zeichnung beispielsweise erläutert.The invention is explained below with reference to the drawing, for example.

Attached to the bed frame is a frame part 14 which essentially corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the bed and on which the slatted frame or a mattress topper is normally placed.
Gemäß der Erfindung ist jedoch die Matratzenauflage 15 nicht direkt an dem Bettgestell oder Teilen des Bettgestells 14 befestigt, sondern über in der Figur gezeigte Kolbenzylinderanordnungen 16. Es sind insgesamt vier derartiger Kolbenzylinderanordnungen 16 vorgesehen, und zwar jeweils in den Eckbereichen des Bettes .According to the invention, however, the mattress topper 15 is not attached directly to the bed frame or parts of the bed frame 14, but rather via piston-cylinder arrangements 16 shown in the figure. There are a total of four such Piston-cylinder arrangements 16 are provided, in each case in the corner regions of the bed.
