Definitions

  • the present invention relates to relaxation beds having a sleeping surface of which at least a portion may be raised.
  • the invention more particularly relates to a relaxation bed comprising a rectangular frame defining a surface, an armrest extending in a longitudinal direction while being attached to one end of the frame and a deformable coating plane adapted to bear on the frame, said bed further comprising a folding device for folding the coating plane in the direction of its length.
  • the sleeping surface comprises a bed base having a "head” part where the head of the user is located, and a "feet” part where the user's feet are located, the part “head” and / or the part “feet” of the frame can be raised (s).
  • This is generally done using a broken plane frame whose moving parts are actuated by a suitable mechanism.
  • This frame supports an articulated slatted bed base capable of being folded, in the longitudinal direction, at least in certain areas, this bed frame defining the sleeping plane.
  • the armrest can be located indifferently to one or other of the two ends of the frame, that is to say upstream of the head portion or downstream of the foot portion.
  • the mattress When a mattress is placed on such a sleeping surface and when the head portion and / or the foot portion is (are) not raised (s), the mattress extends on the flat surface formed by the plane of sleeping. In this configuration, it is understood that the mattress perfectly matches the sleeping plane.
  • the sleeping plan is in the form of a broken plane having a plurality of folds constituting zones of discontinuities for the sleeping plan.
  • the mattress can not marry well the shape of the sleeping surface, namely each part of the broken plane.
  • the mattress takes off locally from the sleeping surface and that it tends to be compressed on itself when the head and feet are simultaneously raised.
  • the invention proposes to remedy these drawbacks.
  • the coating plane comprises a plurality of parallel slats articulated to each other so as to form a curtain of slats adapted to be bent
  • the folding device comprises displacement means able to move an end slat of the plane of sleeping close to the armrest in a direction parallel to the longitudinal direction of the armrest so as to bend the curtain of slats, while a first portion of the sleeping surface extends into the surface of the frame.
  • the folding device is a bending device for bending the coating plane, that is to say to give a curved shape of at least a portion of the latter.
  • the longitudinal direction of the armrest is not included in the surface of the rectangular frame but, preferably, this direction extends substantially orthogonal to the surface of the rectangular frame.
  • the displacement means allow to raise the end lath relative to the surface of the frame.
  • the curtain of slats can bend, that is to say it can take a curved shape, unlike known devices where the folding bed is folded.
  • the end lath remains during its movement in a plane substantially parallel to the surface of the frame.
  • the curvature of the coating plane varies continuously during the displacement of the end lath and, by subsequently, the user can advantageously choose the curvature of the coating plane by adjusting the displacement of the end lath.
  • the mattress naturally marries the sleeping surface, even when it is raised.
  • the curvature of the sleeping surface tends to roll up the mattress on itself, in a natural way, so that the mattress does not tend to take off from the sleeping surface, nor to be compressed on itself.
  • the mattress curves in a natural way, thus improving the ergonomics and comfort of the relaxation bed.
  • the end lath is generally on the side of the head portion of the sleeping plane.
  • the armrest and the end lath are on the side of the foot portion of the sleeping plane.
  • the displacement of the end slat causes the lifting of the foot portion of the sleeping surface.
  • the frame comprises guiding means capable of guiding the displacement of the first part of the coating plane in the longitudinal direction of the frame, when the end lath is moved.
  • the guiding means make it possible to ensure that the coating plane remains well positioned with respect to the frame during the displacement of the end lath.
  • the displacement means are essentially housed in the armrest.
  • the bending device In known relaxation beds, the bending device is usually arranged under the frame and, when the bedding is bent, the device is generally visible and, therefore, makes the relaxation bed unattractive.
  • the armrest is provided with means for guiding the movement of the end lath.
  • these means extend in the longitudinal direction of the armrest and also make it possible to connect the displacement means to the end lath.
  • the bed according to the invention further comprises means for lifting a second portion of the sleeping surface located at the end of the sleeping surface which is opposite to the armrest.
  • these means make it possible to lift the feet part of the sleeping surface.
  • FIGS. 1 to 10 A relaxation bed 10 according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 10.
  • Such a relaxation bed 10 comprises a rectangular frame 12 extending in a longitudinal direction D, an armrest 14 attached to one of the two ends of the frame 12 and a sleeping surface 20 adapted to support a mattress (not shown here).
  • the frame 12 comprises in particular two long sections 13 extending longitudinally and defining two opposite edges of the frame 12.
  • the coating plane 20 comprises a plurality of parallel strips 18 extending transversely with respect to the frame 12.
  • each of the slats 18 preferably, but not necessarily, includes a batten support 18a and a batten body 18b and that the slats 18 are interconnected by means of their supports 18a, the articulation being between the lath supports 18a.
  • slats 18 are advantageously hinged together to form a curtain slats 21, that is to say a structure adapted to take a curved shape when it is deformed.
  • This curtain of slats 21 is therefore bendable unlike foldable multi-plane sommiers known in the prior art.
  • two adjacent slats of the slat curtain 21 can pivot relative to each other about an axis parallel to the longitudinal direction of the slats.
  • slats 18 of the coating plane 20 may be joined to each other so as to form a flat portion of the coating plane 20.
  • the armrest 14 has substantially the shape of a thick rectangular plate which preferably extends orthogonally with respect to the surface of the frame 12.
  • the armrests are known in themselves and usually form a support zone for the pillows or bolsters.
  • the armrest 14 is disposed at the head of the relaxation bed 10, but it could very well be expected, without departing from the scope of the invention, that the armrest is disposed at the end. opposite, namely at the foot of bed.
  • the armrest 14 is not necessarily fixed at the head of the bed 10.
  • the relaxation bed 10 comprises a folding device which constitutes a bending device 22 which will now be described in more detail.
  • the coating plane 20 is able to move relative to the frame 12 in its longitudinal direction.

  • the end of the sleeping surface which is located near the armrest is able to be raised relative to the surface of the frame 12, as can be seen in particular in FIGS. 2 and 4, the rails 24 then serving support means for this part of the sleeping surface 20.
  • Figure 1 there is shown the relaxation bed 10 according to the invention when the coating plane 20 is not bent, that is to say when it extends in a plane substantially parallel to the surface of the frame.
  • the bending device 22 comprises displacement means 23, which are preferably substantially housed in the armrest 14.
  • These displacement means are able to move the slat 26 located at the end of the coating plane which is close to the armrest (this particular slat is called the end slat 26), so that it leads to in its displacement the other slats of the curtain of slats 21.
  • the displacement means 23 which will be described in more detail below, thus make it possible to raise and lower the end lath 26 with respect to the surface of the frame 12.

  • rods 30 are able to move the end lath 26 in the longitudinal direction of the armrest 14 between a low position shown in FIG. 1 and a high position shown in FIG.
  • the first part of the sleeping surface moves towards armrest 14 while being guided by rails 24.
  • the curtain of laths due to its particular structure, deforms under the action of gravity in its part near the armrest, so as to naturally take the form of a continuous curve when the lath of end is raised relative to the surface of the frame 12.
  • the sleeping surface has at its end opposite the armrest stop means (not shown here) to maintain the mattress on the bed when it is deformed.
  • These means prevent in particular the mattress from sliding in the longitudinal direction of the bed when the head portion of the sleeping plane is raised.
  • the relaxation bed 10 further comprises means 32, 36 for lifting a second portion 34 of the coating plane located at the end of the coating plane 20 which is opposite to the armrest 14.
