Definitions

  • the invention relates to a slatted frame for receiving mattresses with the mattress supporting, extending transversely to the longitudinal direction of the slatted base slats, which are housed in two-armed, resilient support battens, which are mounted on a longitudinal spar of the slatted frame, wherein between adjacent slat holders each have a transmission device is provided which transmits this movement in the sense of lifting or stiffening on at least one adjacent support bar holder when loading a support bar and lowering its support bar holder.
  • It may be essentially resilient battens on which a mattress is usually placed directly or rigid support slats on which spring elements are fixed, on which the mattress is placed.
  • the DE 20 2004 011 233 U1 refers to a slatted base, which has retaining caps for paired battens for receiving mattresses.
  • the retaining caps have two each laterally downwardly spread, resilient support members which are attached to stationary fittings on the longitudinal spar of the slatted frame.
  • rocker elements are pivotally mounted on bolts, which engage with lateral arms under a respective support member adjacent retaining caps.
  • the DE 20 2005 013 018 U1 shows a spring base, wherein the obliquely downward and outwardly extending struts supported by support plate or support slats supporting support members on stationary bolts and are connected above these bolts by a coupling element.
  • a coupling element When loading a support element, its struts are pressed down and pull on the coupling elements, the struts of adjacent support elements upwards.
  • the DE 200 00 477 U1 discloses a coupled waveband suspension for bed underframes and mattresses, in which crosswise longitudinally and transversely arranged waveband springs bear on their maxima support elements and in their abutment-representing minima are supported by sliding or roller bearings.
  • All these devices are characterized in that a compression of a support element is transmitted as a supporting effect on adjacent support members.
  • this transferring the supporting effect is provided both between arranged on battens single spring elements for carrying a mattress as well as between resilient or rigid and provided with individual spring elements battens for a mattress or even in a mattress itself.
  • the obliquely downwardly expanding spring struts of the support elements of the first three publications are arranged on the support elements, with these in one piece and extend to the support bolt or to stationary guides.
  • a support element accordingly extends from support bolts to support bolts or from guide to guide.
  • the support arms of the support elements are mounted stationary, the transfer of the support effect is carried out by separate transfer bracket.
  • the object of the invention was made to improve the storage of battens in a sub-bed, wherein the transfer effect of a resilient lowering of a support bar should be maintained and improved as resilient lifting on adjacent battens.
  • the supporting slats supporting the support slats are fastened by means of supporting bolts at the lower ends of pendulums, which in turn can swing around bearing pins in the longitudinal beams of the slatted bases.
  • the batten support may extend from support bar holder to support bar holder and be mounted in the middle of the pendulums, but they can also extend from support bolts to support bolts and store in their midst on support bolts to a support bar holder.
  • the transmission device is formed here by the pendulum suspension of the support slats and their coupling via the support bolts. Elasticity and spring action is given in rigid slats except by arranged on them spring elements by the flexible arms of the slatted support and resilient support slats in addition to the spring action.
  • the bearing pin of the pendulum in the longitudinal members in slotted holes can be freely displaced. It is particularly advantageous if these slots are designed as against their ends upwardly curved scenes.
  • the amplitude of the pendulum can be limited. This can be done by pins which are arranged stationarily approximately at the longitudinal spar of the sub-bed and engage in recesses of different width in the pendulum. In other cases, the pendulum of the pendulum can be limited by scenes that are pivotable about the pendulum.
  • the resilient support members provide the possibility of partially reducing or stiffening the resilience or spring effect of the underbed.
  • the gaps have noses in front of which locking slides can be displaced, which prevent narrowing of the gaps and thus likewise cause stiffening of the support slat bearers.
  • the noses of the column or - in kinematic reversal - the locking slide can have different heights and thus determine the degree of stiffening of the support slats.
  • a suitable measure consists in nubs with their associated notches on the lath supports and the lath holders, which can engage in the intended positions.
  • a triangular or a 180 ° rotated T-shaped pendulum which is articulated at the top of the longitudinal spar and at the ends of its base each support an arm of a slat holder offers the advantage that spreading the arms of a slat holder with increasing load stronger effect on the lifting of the adjacent slat holder.
  • Figures 1 to 8 show a section of a slatted base 1 with only indicated in Figure 1, resting mattress 2 in section along the bed.
  • the spring plate 5 sitting on elastic arms 6, which emanate from holders 7, by means of which they are angeklippst example, on the support slats 3.
  • two spring plates 5 are fastened to a holder 7, but it is understood that the spring elements 4 can also be attached individually, to three, to four, etc. to a holder.
  • the slat supports extend from one slat holder to the adjacent slat holder and have a bearing bush in the middle of their arms.
  • the carrier carriers extend from the bearing bush on one arm 10 via the carrier bar holder 9 to the bearing bush on its other arm 10.
  • the bearing bushes of the arms 10 are rotatable and pivotable on support pins 11, which sit at the lower ends of pendulums 12, which in turn are hinged to pivot pins 13 which are fixed in the longitudinal spar 14 of the slatted base 1.
  • the arms 10 of each supporting strip carrier 8 extend obliquely from one of the supporting pins 11 upwards to one of the supporting strip holders 9.
  • pendulum suspended support slat 8 is given over the entire length of the slatted base 1. However, it takes place mainly in the shoulder area or in the area of the buttocks. Thus, with a heavier load on a slat under the shoulder area or the buttocks, the adjacent slats below the head or the lumbar area are more strongly supported.
  • slatted support 8 At the end of a region provided with the transmission device or at the ends of the slatted base slatted support 8 as not shown in detail can be supported on one side on a fixed abutment.
  • the fastening points of the support slat support 8 to the support slat holder 9 and the support arms 10 are alternately narrowed to the support pin 11 so that they find each other on this place.
  • pivot pin 13 of the pendulum 12 are slidably guided in a slot 15, they can move laterally in a straddle of a resilient pad carrier 8 and thus facilitate the transfer of the compression effect as a Ausfederungsrial on the adjacent battens and on the These supported battens 3.
  • the rebound effect on adjacent battens can thereby be further increased if the pivot pin 13 of the pendulum 12 as shown in Figure 6, are guided in a laterally concave upwardly curved slot 16.
  • the pivot pin 13 In a straddle the batten support 8, the pivot pin 13 laterally into a higher lying region of the elongated hole 16 shifted and leave so feathering a neighboring slat support higher.
  • FIGS. 7/8 show an embodiment in which the battens 8 'are designed to accommodate resilient support arms 17 are each set up with a support bar holder 9 'for resilient, not shown here slats.
  • the support arms can also be made Inc., so have several, splitting and rejoining arms.
  • damping devices as shown in FIGS. 9 to 23 can be used.
