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 de sommier constitué d'un embout monobloc présentant une section supérieure qui comporte deux logements pour accueillir les extrémités de deux lattes parallèles, 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, ladite section inférieure comportant une paroi inférieure verticale destinée à venir en appui contre une face intérieure dudit cadre et une paroi supérieure horizontale destinée à reposer sur la face supérieure dudit cadre et ledit embout présentant un plan de symétrie vertical perpendiculaire à ladite paroi supérieure et à ladite paroi inférieure.It relates more precisely to a suspension device for bed slats consisting of a monobloc end piece having a section upper which has two housings to accommodate the ends of two parallel slats, a lower section provided with anchoring means said tip on a box spring frame, and an intermediate section connecting the upper section to the lower section and constituting the element elastic suspension, said lower section having a wall lower vertical intended to come into abutment against an inner face said frame and a horizontal upper wall intended to rest on the upper face of said frame and said end piece having a plane of vertical symmetry perpendicular to said top wall and to said wall lower.

Dans ce type d'embout bilattes, les éléments de suspension sont disposés au-dessus des longs-pans du cadre et sont donc visibles. En général, l'élément de suspension présente des parois élastiques qui s'étendent parallèlement aux lattes.In this type of bilateral end piece, the suspension elements are arranged above the long sides of the frame and are therefore visible. In general, the suspension element has elastic walls which extend parallel to the slats.

Les extrémités extérieures de ces parois, par rapport au cadre de sommier, sont donc visibles, et la personne chargée de la mise en place des draps ou couvertures du couchage peut introduire ses doigts dans les canaux délimités par les parois élastiques. En outre, cette disposition des parois de suspension pose problème pour empêcher les lattes de pivoter autour de leur axe.The outer ends of these walls, relative to the frame are therefore visible, and the person responsible for setting place sheets or sleeping blankets can introduce his fingers in the channels delimited by the elastic walls. In addition, this arrangement of the suspension walls poses a problem in preventing slats pivot around their axis.

Le but de l'invention est de pallier ces inconvénients.The object of the invention is to overcome these drawbacks.

L'invention atteint son but par le fait que la section intermédiaire est constituée par des portions de parois semi-cylindriques sensiblement de révolution autour d'axes perpendiculaires au plan de symétrie, lesdites portions de paroi raccordant la section supérieure à la section inférieure et lesdits axes de révolution étant disposés à l'intérieur du volume défini par ladite section supérieure, ladite section inférieure et lesdites portions de parois semi-circulaires.The invention achieves its object by the fact that the section intermediate consists of portions of semi-cylindrical walls substantially of revolution around axes perpendicular to the plane of symmetry, said wall portions connecting the upper section to the lower section and said axes of revolution being arranged inside of the volume defined by said upper section, said lower section and said portions of semi-circular walls.

Ainsi, les parois élastiques s'étendent parallèlement au long-pan équipé de ces embouts, ce qui augmente la raideur en torsion des logements, élimine en grande partie les orifices débouchant latéralement, et améliore l'aspect esthétique du sommier. Thus, the elastic walls extend parallel to the long pan fitted with these end caps, which increases the torsional stiffness of the housings, largely eliminates the orifices opening laterally, and improves the aesthetic appearance of the box spring.

De préférence, vue dans une direction parallèle aux axes de révolution, la section intermédiaire forme un tube ovalisé.Preferably viewed in a direction parallel to the axes of revolution, the intermediate section forms an ovalized tube.

Avantageusement, la section supérieure comporte deux goussets formant lesdits logements et une paroi de liaison horizontale reliant lesdits deux goussets.Advantageously, the upper section has two gussets forming said housings and a horizontal connecting wall connecting said two gussets.

Les portions de paroi semi-cylindriques comportent, par exemple, une portion de paroi médiane raccordée à la paroi de liaison des goussets et à la paroi supérieure horizontale de la section inférieure et deux portions de paroi latérales disposées de l'autre côté des axes de révolution par rapport à ladite portion de paroi médiane et raccordées auxdits goussets et à ladite paroi supérieure horizontale.The semi-cylindrical wall portions comprise, by example, a middle wall portion connected to the connecting wall of the gussets and to the horizontal top wall of the bottom section and two side wall portions arranged on the other side of the axes of revolution with respect to said middle wall portion and connected to said gussets and to said horizontal upper wall.

Ce sont ces portions de paroi latérales semi-circulaires qui rendent plus difficile le pivotement des lattes autour de leur axe longitudinal.These are the semi-circular side wall portions which make it more difficult to pivot the slats around their axis longitudinal.

La portion de paroi médiane est disposée, de préférence, du côté de la paroi inférieure verticale de la section inférieure.The middle wall portion is preferably arranged with the side of the vertical bottom wall of the bottom section.

Très avantageusement, les portions de paroi semi-cylindriques présentent des bourrelets de renforcement sur leurs bords latéraux.Very advantageously, the semi-cylindrical wall portions have reinforcing beads on their lateral edges.

Les portions de paroi semi-cylindriques comportent en outre des zones de pliage préférentielles réalisées sous la forme d'amincissements de paroi parallèles aux axes de révolution.The semi-cylindrical wall portions further include preferential folding zones produced in the form wall thinning parallel to the axes of revolution.

Ces deux dernières dispositions assurent un débattement des goussets sans pivotement des lattes autour de leurs axes longitudinaux.These last two provisions ensure a travel of gussets without pivoting of the slats around their longitudinal axes.

Pour assurer un meilleur maintien du couchage, les goussets sont en outre raccordés, du côté extérieur du cadre par une paroi inclinée.To ensure better bed support, the gussets are also connected on the outside of the frame by an inclined wall.

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 de la face de l'embout selon l'invention, située du côté de l'intérieur d'un cadre de sommier ;

  • Figure 3 is a section along line III-III of Figure 1;
  • Figure 4 is a top view of the tip of Figure 1;
  • Figure 5 is a perspective view of the nozzle according to the invention.

Sur les figures 1 et 2, on a représenté par la référence 1 un long-pan d'un cadre de sommier à lattes sur lequel est monté l'embout 2 selon l'invention. Ce long-pan 1 n'est pas montré sur les autres figures par souci de clarté.In Figures 1 and 2, there is shown by reference 1 a long side of a slatted frame frame on which the end piece 2 is mounted according to the invention. This long pan 1 is not shown in the other figures by for clarity.

L'embout 2, réalisé en une seule pièce à partir d'un matériau élastomère présente une section supérieure 3 qui comporte deux logements 4 et 5 pour accueillir les extrémités de deux lattes parallèles, une section inférieure 6 en forme de L renversé qui est munie de moyens d'ancrage sur le long-pan 1, et une section intermédiaire 7 reliant la section supérieure 3 à la section inférieure 6.End piece 2, made in one piece from a material elastomer has an upper section 3 which has two housings 4 and 5 to accommodate the ends of two parallel slats, an inverted L-shaped lower section 6 which is provided with means anchor on the long pan 1, and an intermediate section 7 connecting the upper section 3 to lower section 6.

La section inférieure 6 en forme de L renversé comporte une paroi inférieure verticale 27 qui est destinée à venir en appui contre la face intérieure 1a du long-pan 1, et une paroi supérieure horizontale 8 qui repose sur la face supérieure 1b du long-pan 1. Les moyens d'ancrage de la section inférieure 6 sur le long-pan 1 comportent notamment un tenon 9 destiné à loger dans un trou ménagé dans le long-pan 1.The inverted L-shaped lower section 6 has a vertical bottom wall 27 which is intended to come into abutment against the inner face 1a of the long pan 1, and a horizontal upper wall 8 which rests on the upper face 1b of the long pan 1. The anchoring means of the lower section 6 on the long pan 1 includes in particular a tenon 9 intended to be housed in a hole in the long pan 1.

La paroi inférieure 27 présente, outre le tenon 9, deux orifices 10a et 10b susceptibles de recevoir des vis de fixation. La fixation pourrait également être réalisée par agrafage.The bottom wall 27 has, in addition to the stud 9, two orifices 10a and 10b capable of receiving fixing screws. The fixation could also be made by stapling.

Le tenon 9 est formé sur la face arrière de la paroi inférieure 27 et cette dernière présente sur sa face avant un réceptacle 11 venu du moulage de l'embout 2 et destiné à recevoir l'extrémité d'une latte inférieure.The lug 9 is formed on the rear face of the lower wall 27 and the latter has on its front face a receptacle 11 coming from the molding of the end piece 2 and intended to receive the end of a slat lower.

La section supérieure 3 comporte deux goussets parallèles 13 et 14 qui délimitent les logements 4 et 5. Ces goussets 13 et 14 sont reliés au niveau de leurs parois inférieures par une paroi de liaison horizontale 15, et au niveau de leurs parois supérieures par une paroi inclinée 16 qui s'étend vers l'extérieur du cadre du sommier comportant le long-pan 1 et qui est destinée à retenir le bord d'un couchage.The upper section 3 comprises two parallel gussets 13 and 14 which delimit the housings 4 and 5. These gussets 13 and 14 are connected at their lower walls by a horizontal connecting wall 15, and at their upper walls by an inclined wall 16 which extends towards the outside of the box spring frame comprising the long pan 1 and which is intended to hold the edge of a bed.

Les parois supérieures des goussets 13 et 14 présentent des protubérances 17 anti-dérapantes qui servent également à retenir le couchage.The upper walls of the gussets 13 and 14 have non-slip protrusions 17 which also serve to retain the sleeping.

L'embout 2 présente un plan de symétrie vertical défini par la ligne II-II sur la figure 1, et perpendiculaire à la paroi inférieure 27 et à la paroi supérieure 8 de la section inférieure 6. The end piece 2 has a vertical plane of symmetry defined by the line II-II in FIG. 1, and perpendicular to the bottom wall 27 and to the upper wall 8 of the lower section 6.

Selon l'invention, la section intermédiaire 7 présente plusieurs portions de paroi semi-cylindriques sensiblement de révolution autour d'axes perpendiculaires au plan de symétrie vertical, les axes de révolution étant disposés entre les portions de paroi situées du côté intérieur du cadre de sommier et les portions de paroi situées du côté extérieur de ce cadre de sommier, l'ensemble de ces portions de paroi formant avec la paroi supérieure 8 de la section inférieure 6 et la paroi de liaison 15, un tube ovalisé, vu dans une direction perpendiculaire au plafond de symétrie vertical.According to the invention, the intermediate section 7 has several semi-cylindrical wall portions substantially of revolution around axes perpendicular to the vertical plane of symmetry, the axes of revolution being arranged between the wall portions located on the inner side of the box frame and the wall portions located on the outside of this box spring frame, all of these wall portions forming with the upper wall 8 of the lower section 6 and the connecting wall 15, a oval tube, seen in a direction perpendicular to the ceiling of symmetry vertical.

Comme on le voit sur les dessins, la section intermédiaire 7 présente du côté intérieur du cadre de sommier, une portion de paroi médiane 20 semi-cylindrique qui se raccorde à son extrémité supérieure à la paroi de liaison 15 et latéralement aux parois inférieures des goussets 14 et 15 sous les orifices des logements 4 et 5 et à son extrémité inférieure à la paroi supérieure 8 de la section inférieure 6. Comme on le voit sur la figure 2, la paroi de liaison 15, la portion de paroi médiane 20 et la paroi inférieure ont sensiblement la même épaisseur et forment ensemble un arceau.As seen in the drawings, the intermediate section 7 has a portion of the wall on the inside of the box spring frame median 20 semi-cylindrical which connects at its upper end to the connecting wall 15 and laterally to the lower walls of the gussets 14 and 15 under the holes of housings 4 and 5 and at its end lower than the upper wall 8 of the lower section 6. As is seen in Figure 2, the connecting wall 15, the middle wall portion 20 and the bottom wall have substantially the same thickness and form together an arch.

Du côté extérieur du cadre de sommier, il est prévu deux portions de paroi latérales semi-circulaires 22 et 23 qui relient les parois inférieures des goussets 13 et 14 à la paroi supérieure horizontale 8 de la section inférieure 6. Dans la direction perpendiculaire au plan de symétrie, les deux portions de paroi latérales 22 et 23 sont disposées de part et d'autre de la portion de paroi médiane 20. Mais ces portions de paroi latérales 22 et 23 pourraient chevaucher en partie, voire en totalité la portion de paroi médiane 20 sans sortir du cadre de l'invention. Notamment les deux portions de paroi latérales 22 et 23 pourraient ne former qu'une seule portion de paroi semi-cylindrique qui s'étend sur toute la largeur de l'embout 2, cette largueur étant mesurée dans la direction perpendiculaire au plan de symétrie défini par la ligne II-II sur la figure 1. L'épaisseur des portions de paroi latérales 22 et 23 est également sensiblement égale à l'épaisseur de la paroi supérieure 8 de la section inférieure 8.On the outside of the box spring frame, there are two semi-circular side wall portions 22 and 23 which connect the walls lower gussets 13 and 14 to the upper horizontal wall 8 of the lower section 6. In the direction perpendicular to the plane of symmetry, the two side wall portions 22 and 23 are arranged on the side and on the other side of the middle wall portion 20. But these wall portions side 22 and 23 could partially or even overlap the middle wall portion 20 without departing from the scope of the invention. In particular, the two side wall portions 22 and 23 could not form a single portion of semi-cylindrical wall which extends over the entire the width of the end piece 2, this width being measured in the direction perpendicular to the plane of symmetry defined by line II-II in Figure 1. The thickness of the side wall portions 22 and 23 is also substantially equal to the thickness of the upper wall 8 of the section lower 8.

Le voile formant les portions de paroi semi-cylindriques 20, 22 et 23 peut être plein. Mais il peut également comporter une pluralité de petits orifices traversants pour des questions d'esthétique ou selon la souplesse souhaitée.The veil forming the semi-cylindrical wall portions 20, 22 and 23 can be full. But it can also include a plurality of small through holes for aesthetic reasons or depending on the flexibility desired.

Avantageusement, ainsi que cela est visible sur la figure 1, les bords latéraux des portions de paroi 20, 22 et 23 présentent des bourrelets de rigidification 30 destinés à augmenter leur raideur. Les portions de paroi 20, 22 et 23 présentant en outre dans leur zone médiane des amincissements de paroi 31 qui s'étendent perpendiculairement au plan de symétrie vertical et qui constituent les zones de pliage préférentielles desdites portions de paroi sous charge.Advantageously, as can be seen in FIG. 1, the lateral edges of the wall portions 20, 22 and 23 have stiffening beads 30 intended to increase their stiffness. The wall portions 20, 22 and 23 further having in their central region wall thinning 31 which extends perpendicular to the vertical plane of symmetry and which constitute the folding zones of said wall portions under load.

Dans le mode de réalisation préféré décrit ci-dessus, la portion de paroi médiane 20 est située du côté intérieur du cadre de sommier et les portions de paroi latérales 22 et 23 sont situées du côté extérieur de ce cadre. Il est évident pour l'homme du métier que la portion de paroi médiane peut être disposée du côté extérieur du cadre et les deux portions de paroi latérales disposées du côté intérieur sans sortir du cadre de l'invention.In the preferred embodiment described above, the portion of the central wall 20 is located on the inside of the box spring frame and the side wall portions 22 and 23 are located on the outside of this frame. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the wall portion middle can be placed on the outside of the frame and both side wall portions arranged on the inside without leaving the frame of the invention.
