  • And the figures 6 , 7 and 8 represent partial side views, respectively in the extended position, in the intermediate position and in the raised position, the foot and its means of actuating the figure 5 .

La structure 1 de lit relevable ou repliable représentée comprend un support fixe 2 qui comprend deux flasques latéraux 3 distants l'un de l'autre et un châssis pivotant 4 qui présente une partie engagée entre ces flasques 3 et qui est monté pivotant sur ces derniers par l'intermédiaire d'un axe transversal de pivotement 5.The structure 1 of foldable or foldable bed shown comprises a fixed support 2 which comprises two lateral flanges 3 spaced from each other and a pivoting frame 4 which has a portion engaged between these flanges 3 and which is pivotally mounted thereon via a transverse pivot axis 5.

Le support fixe 2 comprend des traverses 6 solidaires des flasques 3 et adaptées pour être en contact avec le sol et/ou un mur et le fixer par exemple par des vis les traversant.The fixed support 2 comprises cross members 6 integral with the flanges 3 and adapted to be in contact with the ground and / or a wall and fix it for example by screws passing through them.

Le support fixe 2 comprend en outre une barre transversale de renfort 7 solidaire des flasques 3 et disposée dans une zone située en dessous de l'axe de pivotement 5.The fixed support 2 further comprises a transverse reinforcement bar 7 integral with the flanges 3 and disposed in an area located below the pivot axis 5.

Le châssis pivotant 4 comprend un cadre 8 sensiblement rectangulaire constitué par des barres latérales 8a et des barres transversales arrière et avant 8b et des barres intermédiaires formant une croix 9 et reliées aux barres 8a et 8b.The pivoting frame 4 comprises a substantially rectangular frame 8 consisting of lateral bars 8a and rear and front transverse bars 8b and intermediate bars forming a cross 9 and connected to the bars 8a and 8b.

Le châssis pivotant 4 comprend en outre des barres transversales inférieures 10 qui sont disposées, approximativement, aux deux extrémités et au milieu du cadre 8 et dont les extrémités sont reliées aux barres latérales 8a de ce cadre.The pivoting frame 4 further comprises lower transverse bars 10 which are arranged approximately at the two ends and in the middle of the frame 8 and whose ends are connected to the lateral bars 8a of this frame.

Des moyens d'actionnements, pour faire pivoter le châssis 4 entre une position allongée horizontale d'utilisation dans laquelle le cadre 8 s'étend vers avant et une position repliée dans laquelle le cadre 8 est relevée verticalement, comprennent des vérins pneumatiques latéraux 11 d'assistance qui sont installés entre la barre de renfort 7 et les barres latérales 8a du cadre 8 et un vérin d'actionnement 12, commandable par un utilisateur, qui est installé entre le milieu de la barre de renfort 7 et la barre centrale 9a de la croix 9 parallèle aux barres latérales 8a.Actuating means, for pivoting the frame 4 between a horizontal elongated position of use in which the frame 8 extends forwardly and a folded position in which the frame 8 is raised vertically, comprise lateral pneumatic cylinders 11 d which are installed between the reinforcing bar 7 and the lateral bars 8a of the frame 8 and a user-controllable actuating cylinder 12 which is installed between the middle of the reinforcing bar 7 and the central bar 9a of the cross 9 parallel to the side bars 8a.

La structure 1 comprend en outre un habillage fixe qui comprend notamment des flancs latéraux inférieurs 13 fixés sur les faces extérieures des flasques 3 et des flancs latéraux supérieurs 14 prolongeant vers le haut les flancs latéraux inférieurs 13 et présentant des bords avant en retrait vers l'arrière par rapport aux bords verticaux avant des flancs latéraux inférieurs 13. Une paroi transversale arrière 14a, verticale, relie les flancs supérieurs 14.The structure 1 further comprises a fixed covering which comprises in particular lower lateral flanks 13 fixed on the outer faces of the flanges 3 and the upper lateral flanks 14 extending upwards the lower lateral flanks 13 and presenting front edges recessed rearwardly with respect to the vertical edges before lower lateral flanks 13. A rear transverse wall 14a, vertical, connects the upper flanks 14.

La structure 1 comprend également un habillage monté sur le châssis 4, qui comprend notamment un caisson d'habillage 15 dont la partie arrière est engagée entre les flasques 3.The structure 1 also comprises a cladding mounted on the frame 4, which comprises in particular a casing box 15 whose rear portion is engaged between the flanges 3.

Ce caisson 15 comprend des parois latérales 16, une paroi frontale 17 qui vient en regard du sol lorsqu'il est à sa position allongée et qui est fixée sur les barres transversales 10 du châssis 4, ménageant un espace entre le cadre 8 et la paroi frontale 17 pour y loger les vérins 11 et 12, ainsi qu'une paroi transversale avant 18 située du côté de l'extrémité libre avant du châssis 4 et une paroi transversale arrière 18a située du côté de l'extrémité libre arrière du châssis 4.This box 15 comprises side walls 16, a front wall 17 which faces the ground when it is in its extended position and which is fixed on the transverse bars 10 of the frame 4, providing a space between the frame 8 and the wall front 17 to accommodate the cylinders 11 and 12, and a front transverse wall 18 located on the side of the front free end of the frame 4 and a rear transverse wall 18a located on the side of the rear free end of the frame 4.

Ainsi, en position repliée, le caisson 15 s'engage entre les flancs inférieurs 13 et en partie entre les flancs supérieurs 14, de façon que la structure 1 ait l'apparence d'une armoire, le bord supérieur de la paroi arrière 18a venant à proximité du bord inférieur de la paroi arrière 14a.Thus, in the folded position, the box 15 engages between the lower flanks 13 and partly between the upper flanks 14, so that the structure 1 has the appearance of a cabinet, the upper edge of the rear wall 18a coming from near the lower edge of the rear wall 14a.

Les parties avant, situées du côté de la paroi avant 18, des barres latérales 8a du cadre 8 sont munies de plaques 19 qui s'étendent vers la paroi frontale 17 et qui portent, à proximité de cette paroi et en face l'une de l'autre, des portions de profilés tubulaires 20 de sections carrées qui constituent des guides perpendiculaires au plan du cadre 8 et de la paroi frontale 17.The front parts, situated on the side of the front wall 18, of the lateral bars 8a of the frame 8 are provided with plates 19 which extend towards the front wall 17 and which bear, in the vicinity of this wall and opposite one of the other, portions of tubular sections 20 of square sections which constitute guides perpendicular to the plane of the frame 8 and the front wall 17.

La paroi frontale 17 présente des passages traversants carrés 21 ménagés en face des profilés tubulaires 20.The front wall 17 has square through-passages 21 formed opposite the tubular sections 20.

Dans les profilés tubulaires 20 sont installés des pieds escamotables, 22 de sections carrées, dimensionnés de façon à pouvoir coulisser perpendiculairement au plan du cadre 8 et de la paroi frontale 17 et au travers des passages 21.In the tubular sections 20 are installed retractable legs, 22 of square sections, dimensioned so as to be able to slide perpendicularly to the plane of the frame 8 and the front wall 17 and through the passages 21.

Les pieds 22 dépassent d'un côté et de l'autre des profilés tubulaires 20 et leurs extrémités extérieures à la paroi frontale 17 portent des plaques carrées 23 plus grandes que les passages 21, ces plaques étant de préférence montées réglables sur les pieds dans le sens de coulissement de ces derniers, par exemple par des systèmes vis-écrous, de telle sorte que la longueur des pieds est réglable.The feet 22 protrude from one side and the other tubular sections 20 and their outer ends to the front wall 17 are square plates 23 larger than the passages 21, these plates being preferably mounted adjustable on the feet in the sliding direction of the latter, for example by screw-nut systems, so that the length of the feet is adjustable.

Les extrémités intérieures des pieds 22 sont reliées à des moyens d'actionnement 24 placés dans l'espace séparant le cadre 8 et la paroi frontale 17 et construits de la manière suivante.The inner ends of the legs 22 are connected to actuating means 24 placed in the space between the frame 8 and the front wall 17 and constructed in the following manner.

Les moyens d'actionnement comprennent des organes pivotants 25 montés sur les plaques 19 par l'intermédiaire d'axes transversaux 26 et comprenant deux bras 27 et 28 en forme de L dont l'angle est obtus.The actuating means comprise pivoting members 25 mounted on the plates 19 by means of transverse axes 26 and comprising two L-shaped arms 27 and 28 whose angle is obtuse.

Les bras 27 sont reliés à l'extrémité intérieure des pieds 22 par l'intermédiaire de tringles 29 articulées sur les pieds 22 grâce à des axes transversaux d'articulation 30 et sur les bras 27 grâce à des axes transversaux d'articulation 31.The arms 27 are connected to the inner end of the feet 22 via rods 29 articulated on the feet 22 by means of transverse hinge pins 30 and on the arms 27 by means of transverse hinge pins 31.

Les bras 28 sont reliés à distance à la barre de renfort 7 par l'intermédiaire de longues tringles 32 articulées sur la barre de renfort 7 grâce à des axes transversaux d'articulation 33 et sur les bras 28 grâce à des axes transversaux d'articulation 34.The arms 28 are remotely connected to the reinforcing bar 7 by means of long rods 32 articulated on the reinforcing bar 7 by means of transverse hinge pins 33 and on the arms 28 by means of transverse axes of articulation. 34.

Les moyens d'actionnement 24 sont dimensionnés de telle sorte que le pivotement du châssis 4 provoque le coulissement des pieds dans les guides 20 sous l'effet de la variation de la distance entre les axes transversaux 26 et les axes transversaux 34 et de la rotation résultante des organes pivotants 25.The actuating means 24 are dimensioned so that the pivoting of the frame 4 causes the feet to slide in the guides 20 under the effect of varying the distance between the transverse axes 26 and the transverse axes 34 and the rotation resulting from the pivoting members 25.

Lorsque le châssis 4 est amené à sa position allongée, les pieds sont amenés à une position sortie, visible sur la figure 6, dans laquelle les plaques d'extrémité 23 viennent en appui sur le sol, à proximité des coins avant du châssis 4.When the frame 4 is brought to its extended position, the feet are brought to an extended position, visible on the figure 6 , in which the end plates 23 bear against the ground, near the front corners of the frame 4.

Lorsque châssis 4 est amené à sa position relevée, les pieds sont amenés à une position rentrée, visible sur la figure 8, dans laquelle les plaques 23 viennent à proximité de la face extérieure de la paroi frontale 17, de préférence en contact avec cette dernière, en passant par des positions intermédiaires visibles sur la figure 7. Ainsi, les pieds 22 ne sont plus visibles.When chassis 4 is brought to its raised position, the feet are brought to a retracted position, visible on the figure 8 , in which the plates 23 come close to the outer face of the front wall 17, preferably in contact with the latter, passing through visible intermediate positions on the figure 7 . Thus, the feet 22 are no longer visible.

Avantageusement, lorsque les pieds 22 se déplacent entre leur position sortie et leur position rentrée, les axes transversaux 34 du bras 28 sur les tringles 32 se situent d'un côté du plan passant par les axes transversaux 33 des tringles 32 sur la barre de renfort 7 du support fixe 2 et les axes transversaux 26 des organes pivotants 25 sur le cadre 8 du châssis pivotant 4.Advantageously, when the feet 22 move between their extended position and their retracted position, the transverse axes 34 of the arm 28 on the rods 32 are located on one side of the plane passing through the transverse axes 33 of the rods 32 on the reinforcing bar 7 of the fixed support 2 and the transverse axes 26 of the pivoting members 25 on the frame 8 of the pivoting frame 4.

En outre, lorsque les pieds 22 sont amenés à leur position sortie, les axes transversaux 31 vont légèrement au-delà de leur position alignée avec les axes transversaux 26 et 30 et les bras 27 viennent en appui contre des butées 35 de limitation de course et d'anti-effondrement, les butées 35 étant portées par les plaques 19. Ainsi, les bras 27 et les tringles 29 produisent un effet de genouillère.In addition, when the feet 22 are brought to their extended position, the transverse axes 31 go slightly beyond their position aligned with the transverse axes 26 and 30 and the arms 27 abut against limit stops 35 and anti-collapse, the stops 35 being carried by the plates 19. Thus, the arms 27 and the rods 29 produce a toggle effect.

La présente invention ne se limite pas à l'exemple particulier de réalisation décrit ci-dessus. La partie fixe et la partie pivotante de la structure pourraient être de conceptions différentes. Par exemple, la partie pivotante pourrait être une porte frontale épaisse d'un meuble. Les formes et dispositions des guides et des pieds coulissants pourraient être différentes. Les moyens d'actionnement pourraient aussi être différents. Bien des variantes sont en effet possibles sans sortir du cadre des revendications annexées.The present invention is not limited to the particular embodiment described above. The fixed part and the pivoting part of the structure could be of different designs. For example, the pivoting portion could be a thick front door of a piece of furniture. The shapes and layouts of the guides and sliding feet could be different. The actuating means could also be different. Many variants are indeed possible without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
