Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a support for bed slats, that is to say slats, of the type commonly called slatted bed bases, which attach each of said slats to the frame or structure of the bed base.
  • the object of the invention is to make the support able to vary its degree of tautness, or which is the same as saying, to make the slats of the bed base more or less elastic with respect to the frame or structure of the bed base.
  • Another object of the invention is that this adjustment in the degree of elasticity of the slats may be done quickly and easily by the user at any time during the useful life of the slatted bed base.
  • the invention thus applies to the field of manufacturing slatted bed bases or beds.
  • an outer metal frame is usually used, either continuous or jointed, which corresponds to the contour of the bed base, and may, in some cases, have an intermediate bolster, depending on the size of said base, so that a plurality of individual supports for the slats are fastened to the bolsters of said metal structure at suitable distances and conveniently distributed, enabling the slats to be fastened by their ends.
  • Supports which, in addition to the aforementioned benefits, act as shock-absorbers for the transmission of forces from the slats to the metal framework, by means of elastically deformable elements included in said supports.
  • this shock-absorption effect can only be adjusted at the time of designing and making the bed base, using supports with a greater or smaller elasticity index, but do not allow such elasticity to be changed subsequently, let alone be adjusted by the user.
  • the support for slats proposed by the invention provides a fully satisfactory solution to the aforementioned problem set out, enabling the degree of elasticity to be extensively adjusted, whereby each slat, or slats, transmits the load borne to the metal framework or structure of the bed base, more specifically providing three clearly distinct levels of elasticity which may be modified by the user as and when he wishes in a quick, easy and simple way, without the need of tools and without the need to dismantle any of the elements forming the array.
  • a flexing element through which the forces are transmitted, a flexing element in which there are two rings, one of these encircling the other and having a different capacity for elastic deformation, an adjustment device working with said flexing element which, depending on its own position within the flexing element, changes the elastic functionality of said rings, as well as changing the elastic deformation coefficient of the flexing element array between the aforementioned three levels, one when said adjustment device adopts a vertical position, corresponding to maximum tautness, another when it adopts a horizontal position, corresponding to intermediate tautness, and another when said adjustment device is removed, when elasticity or flexibility is maximum.
  • the position of the appropriate number of shims on the bed bolsters, whether taut or jointed, single or double, and the speed, ease and simple means of adjustment, enables the user to extensively modify the elasticity as and when he wishes, making, for example, areas such as the lumbar or other regions taut, or even making just one of the bed side slats taut and/or loosening the other side slat, enabling, especially in a double bed, adjustment of the elasticity on each side, in accordance with the preferences of both users.
  • the flexing element (3) has at the top, a pair of ribs or pins (4) that can be joined between the respective grooves (5) and the shim (1), while the bottom of said flexing element (3) incorporates a pair of housings (6) for respective pins (7) which are joined directly to the frame of the bed or to a commercial flat bar (8) which is fastened using screws (9) to the frame (2), in this way the flexing element (3) being conveniently fastened to both the shim (1) and said frame or structure (2) of the bed base.
  • two elastically deformable rings are defined, one inner one (10), preferably with an elliptic configuration and with a larger horizontal axis, and another outer one (11) encircling the first, the lower ring (10) having a groove (12) with a markedly strangled opening, while the encircling ring (11) is open at the bottom and has, corresponding with its opening, two grooves (13) with a strangled opening, similar to the previous one and facing one another, there being a fourth groove with a strangled opening (14) at the base of the flexing element and facing the aforementioned groove (12).
  • grooves (12-14) and (13) are used to selectively receive or, where appropriate, not receive, as will be seen below, a part (15) with adjustment functions, with a pair of ribs and parallels (16) which can be tongue-and-groove coupled to the grooves (12-14) or to the grooves (13), and finished off in a ring (17) or other similar medium to facilitate the action thereof.
  • said adjustment device (15) When said adjustment device (15) is set to the position in the figure (2), in other words, in a vertical position, coupling to the strangled opening grooves (12) and (14), it forms a taut bridge which cancels the functionality of the outer or encircling ring (11), the inner ring (10) solely acting as a shock absorber which, due to its reduced dimensions, provides a scant degree of deformability, so that the level of tautness on the support of the slat is at its maximum.
  • the adjustment device is removed (15), through the window (18) of the shim (1), in other words, without the need to dismantle the rest of the structure, and is changed to the horizontal position shown in Figure 3, in other words, with its ribs (16) tongue-and-groove coupled to the strangled opening grooves (13), the ring (11) basically becomes operative which, due to its larger size and especially due to the deflections (19) it incorporates in its lateral areas, offers a degree of elasticity which is considerably higher than the adjustment device's previous position, which is equivalent to a considerably lower level of tautness in the transmission, but with a certain limitation caused by the tension produced towards the outside of the adjustment device (15) itself and/or the possible contact of the groove (12) on the adjustment device (15).
