Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bed bottom according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • Such adjustable bed bottom is known in numerous embodiments. At least the upper body section and sometimes all sections are movable upwardly in order to obtain positions of the bed bottom which are adapted to a specific use.
  • Bed bottoms for normal home use are adjustable to obtain a comfortable sit-up position, for example to read in bed or to watch television.
  • a common topper mattress or mattress cover On the other hand, especially in twin beds having a common mattress, a common topper mattress or mattress cover, such upward adjustment of the bed bottom is impossible or at least cumbersome.
  • Special back rests or adjustable headboards have been designed to allow people to sit-up in bed without adjusting the bed bottom, but these solutions do not allow for a very comfortable position in bed as the lower body is inclined to slip away on the mattress.
  • the present invention aims to provide a bed bottom which is suitable for use in twin beds and/or in combination with separate back rests to obtain a very comfortable sit-up position.
  • the bed bottom according to the invention is a characterised in that the at least one intermediate section is movable downwardly from the first position to the second position.
  • one intermediate section and an adjacent support section - which may be the upper body section or a second intermediate section - are pivotable downwardly such that facing ends thereof move downwardly.
  • an adjacent support section - which may be the upper body section or a second intermediate section - are pivotable downwardly such that facing ends thereof move downwardly.
  • the bed bottom for example to create a lowest point in the bed bottom at different longitudinal positions, to adapt the bed bottom to longer or shorter persons.
  • a bridge section is supported on two adjacent pivotable sections, overlapping both sections and being pivotally connected to one of said pivotable sections and being slidably supported by the other pivotable section.
  • Such bridge section covers the gap between two pivoting sections and creates a small flat bottom of the recess in the bed bottom.
  • An important embodiment which is especially intended to be used in a twin bed having two adjacent bed bottoms is characterised in that longitudinal edges of the bed bottom for supporting the mattress remain stationary during movement of the bed bottom between the first and second positions.
  • the edges of the mattress remain stationary when the bed bottom is adjusted and there is only created a recess in the bed bottom and in the mattress were a person is lying or sitting, i.e. in a transversally central portion. This further reduces the disturbance between the bed bottoms.
  • the longitudinal edges of the bed bottom comprise pivotable side flaps pivotally connected to the longitudinal edges and resting with their free ends on the support sections, said side flaps preferably extending only in the region of the downwardly movable support sections, the free ends of the side flaps being configured to remain in contact with the pivotable support sections, and preferably have a shape adapted to the shape of the bed bottom in the second position.
  • the bed bottom may be adjusted manually and/or by means of the weight of a person, manually by spring force or motorised by means of electric, hydraulic or pneumatic motors.
  • a bed which comprises a frame having a head end and a foot end and which is favourable in combination with the bed bottom as described above, comprises an adjustable headboard at the head end of the frame, the headboard being adjustable between a more or less upright position and a more inclined position in which the headboard extends obliquely downwardly from the head end of the bed towards a mattress to be supported by the bed bottom.
  • This adjustable headboard creates a back rest for a person who wishes to sit-up in the bed and may create a very comfortable sit-up position in combination with the adjustable bed bottom as described.
  • the headboard is provided with a spring element allowing at least in some of the inclined positions of the headboard an at least limited pivoting movement back towards the vertical position.
  • the headboard allows some resilience and adaptation to the persons position and for example to the position of the mattress on the bed bottom. This is further improved if the headboard is provided with a cushion supported by a flexible support which is allowed to flex also at the lower end, as a headboard may then even better adapt itself to the back of the person resting against the headboard.
  • Figs. 1 A-F show various principal embodiments of a bed bottom 1 according to the invention.
  • the bed bottom 1 according to the invention has a plurality of transverse support sections including at least a foot rest section 2, an upper body section 3 and one or more intermediate sections 4-6. These sections are positioned adjacent to each other in longitudinal direction of the bed to support a mattress thereon in an adjustable manner.
  • the bed bottom 1 is adjustable from a first position in which all support sections 2-6 are substantially in line (not shown) to a second position in which at least one of the intermediate sections 4-6 is moved downwardly from the first position to the second position.
  • Fig. 1A there are three intermediate sections 4-6 which can be moved downwardly to form a recess in the bed bottom between the foot rest section 2 and the upper body section 3.
  • the central intermediate section 5 forms the bottom of a recess and the other intermediate sections 4, 6 form inclined walls thereof.
  • FIG. 1B there is only one intermediate section 4 which is movable up and down in a horizontal manner to form the bottom of a recess between the foot rest section 2 and the upper body section 3 of the bed bottom 1.
  • Fig. 1C shows an embodiment in which two intermediate sections 4, 5 and the upper body section 3 are movable to form a recess between the foot rest section 2 and the head end of the bed.
  • Fig. 1D has one movable (pivotable) intermediate section and a pivotable upper body section 3.
  • Fig. 1E there is an embodiment comprising two pivotable intermediate sections 4, 5 which are connected in such a way to each other that no gap will occur when the intermediate sections 4, 5 are moved to there downward position.
  • Fig. 1F shows a variation in which the length of the upper body section 3 and the intermediate sections 4 and 5 have been varied.
  • Fig. 1G there are again two pivotable intermediate sections 4, 5, but a gap 7 is created between the ends of the downwardly pivotable intermediate sections 4, 5 that are facing each other. Furthermore, the intermediate section 5 has its pivoting axis positioned between its ends so that the end remote from the other pivoting section 4 will move slightly upwardly when its other end is moved downwardly.
  • the foot rest section 2 is movable, although in all embodiments shown in Fig. 1 the foot rest section 2 is stationary. This is preferred to keep the bed bottom simple and concentrate the movement of the bed bottom in the region of a person's bottom.
  • the downward movement of the intermediate section is independent and not the result of an upward movement of one of the other sections, as is known from some prior art bed bottoms.
  • the length of the various sections of the bed bottom 1 may be varied, and may also be adjustable.
  • the bed bottom sections are either stationary or movable (from the aligned horizontal position) in downward direction only. According to the invention it is preferred that the bed bottom sections will be movable mainly downwardly from their horizontal position. If there would be an upward movement from the horizontal position, this would be small.
  • Figs. 2A-F show how the embodiment of Fig. 1F can be adjusted, in this case by the weight of a person lying in bed. Versions with mechanical or electrical actuators are also possible.
  • the circle P symbolises the bottom of a person. In Fig. 2A the person is lying with its bottom at the position of the intermediate sections 4, 5. When this person P exerts a force (symbolised by a downward arrow) the intermediate sections 4, 5 will pivot downwardly, preferably against the force of a spring and preferably after unlocking a lock which holds the intermediate sections 4, 5 in their upper position in which they are aligned with the foot rest section 2 and the upper body section 3.
  • Fig. 2C shows that the intermediate sections 4, 5 can be locked in there downwardly moved positions by a manually actuable lock 8 preventing the intermediate sections 4, 5 from moving upwards again under the force of the springs, also when there is no weight from a person P resting on the intermediate sections 4, 5, as is shown in Fig. 2D.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment of the bed bottom 1 according to the invention in which it is possible to readjust the lowest point of the recess in the bed bottom 1, which can be chosen by the person lying on the bed bottom 1 according to a position suiting that persons body length.
  • the intermediate sections 4, 5 and the upper body section 3 are pivotable with respect to each other in a different manner, so that different positions of the three sections can be obtained.
  • Fig. 3C shows the position in which the intermediate section 4 has started to move, such that it is now aligned with the intermediate section 5. The lowest point has not been repositioned, but the shape of the recess has changed.
  • FIGs. 4 A, B show positions of the bed bottom 1 which are comparable to those of Fig. 3E and 3B.
  • These figures illustrate the co-operation between the bed bottom 1 and an adjustable headboard 9 which can take up various positions in order to enable a person lying in bed to sit-up in bed in a comfortable position with its bottom, back and head partly in the recess and partly on the headboard 9.
  • a particular embodiment of the headboard 9 will be described later on.
  • Fig. 5, 6 and 7 show a practical embodiment of the bed bottom according to the invention.
  • This bed bottom 1 includes a stationary foot rest section 2, intermediate sections 4 and 5 and an upper body section 3.
  • the bed tray 1A will support the edges of a mattress to be supported on the bed bottom 1.
  • the intermediate section 4 and the upper body section 3 are both pivotable about a horizontal transverse axis, and the intermediate section 4 is driven by a motor, for example through a drive shaft 11 positioned coaxial with the pivot axis.
  • This motor (not-shown) is actuated by the person lying in bed by means of a (remote) control connected to the motor.
  • the intermediate sections 4 and 5 are connected to each other through a pin slot connection (Fig. 7), in this case comprising a pin 12 fixed to the end of the intermediate section 4 engaging a longitudinal elongated slot 13 in the intermediate section 5.
  • a pin slot connection (Fig. 7)
  • both sections 4, 5 are connected to each other at their ends facing each other in a slidable manner, so that no gap will be formed when both sections 4, 5 pivot downwardly with respect to each other.
  • Both sections 4, 5 will slightly overlap each other, where the overlap is larger in the horizontal position than in the downwardly pivoted position.
  • a bridge section 14 which, in this case, is pivotally connected to the intermediate section 5 and slidably connected to the intermediate section 4, while the bridge section 14 overlaps both sections 4 and 5.
  • the bridge section 14 In the upper, aligned position of the sections 4 and5, the bridge section 14 will be aligned as well, whereas the bridge section 14 will remain substantially horizontal when the intermediate section 4 and the intermediate section 5 pivot downwardly. Due to the bridge section 14, a mattress will be supported properly and there will be created a comfortable recess in the bed bottom 1 and a mattress resting thereon.
  • the bed bottom is provided with side flaps 30 pivotally connected to longitudinal edges 1' of the bed bottom 1 or tray 1A (Fig. 7).
  • the flaps 30 extend away from its longitudinal axis of rotation over the bed bottom 1, and its longitudinal extent and position is such that the flaps are especially present in the region of the movable bed bottom sections 3, 4.
  • the free edges of the flaps 30 are shaped to remain in contact with the bed bottom when the sections 3, 4 are moved downwardly, in fact the shape of the free edge conforms to the shape of the recess formed in the bed bottom, such that the flaps are moved from a horizontal position when the bed bottom 1 is horizontal (Fig. 5), to a downwardly inclined position when the bed bottom is in its lowest position (Fig. 6).
  • the flaps ensure that a mattress supported on the longitudinal edges 1' and on the support sections 4, 5 of the bed bottom 1 is properly supported adjacent the stationary edges 1' also when the bed bottom is partly moved downwardly. Only in the central part of the mattress and bed bottom (as seen in transverse direction) the recess will be created.
  • the bed bottom is provided with rigid transverse planks for supporting a spring box mattress, but of course all kinds of support for the bed bottom 1 are conceivable, depending on the mattress for which it is designed. Therefore, the bed bottom may also have a flexible or spring support.
  • Figs. 8-14 show an embodiment of an adjustable headboard already indicated in Fig. 4.
  • the headboard structure or unit 15 is integrated in the bed frame 10 or is a separate structure connected or positioned adjacent to the bed frame 10.
  • the headboard 9 can be positioned at various different inclinations, varying from a substantially vertical position (Fig. 8A) to a substantially horizontal position as is shown in Fig. 8C.
  • the movement of the headboard 9 is caused by a combination of a rotational movement of the headboard 9 around an upper horizontal rotary axis 16 and a vertical movement thereof.
  • the headboard 9 will remain at a position close to the mattress M in every different position.
  • the headboard 9 will be able to be urged against a spring force in downward direction so as to adapt the position of the headboard 9 more to the circumstances, for example upon downward movements of the upper surface of the mattress M when a person is lying or sitting on it.
  • the headboard unit 15 comprises an adjustable headboard 9 and a frame structure including a vertical frame part 17 and an inclined frame part 18, both adapted to be attached to the bed frame 10.
  • the headboard 9 comprises a flexible support plate 19 and a cushion 20 together forming a comfortable support for the upper body of a person sitting-up in bed.
  • the flexible support plate 19 is attached to two arms which may be formed by the legs of a U-shaped part, the web of which forms the horizontal rotary axis 16 of the headboard 9.
  • the rotary axis or shaft 16 is supported by a movable subframe 22 guided with respect to the vertical frame part 17 through cylindrical guide shafts 23 and movable in vertical direction by means of a motor driven vertical shaft 24 adapted to move the subframe 22 and the horizontal axis 16 supported thereon up and down.
  • Non-lectrical versions are also possible, for instance by means of a weight balance and lock, locking the head board at desired positions.
  • the vertical frame part 17 and the arms 21 are interconnected by a connecting arm 25 pivotally connected to the vertical frame part 17 and at least pivotally, but in this case also slidably connected to the corresponding arm 21 at a distance from the rotary axis 16.
  • the connecting arms 25 are pivotally connected to slides which are slidable in the corresponding arm 21 to a limited extent, determined by an elongated slot 27 in each arm 21.
  • Each slide 26 is biased in the direction of the rotary axis 16 by means of a spring, in this case a helical spring 28 urging the connecting arm 25 to its most upward position, i.e. towards the rotary axis 16.
  • the connecting arms when the connecting arms are moved to a less inclined position (and the arms 21 to a less inclined position as well) the angle between the connecting arms 25 and the arms 21 will transfer from a acute angle through 90° to an obtuse angle as is shown in Figs. 13 and 14.
  • the connecting arms 25 When in this position a force is exerted on the headboard 9, the connecting arms 25 will be urged downwardly away from the rotary axis 16 against the force of the helical springs 28, so that the headboard 9 becomes springy or resilient enabling the headboard 9 to yield to a limited extent when a person is resting against the headboard 9, so that the headboard 9 is allowed to adapt itself to the person sitting up in the bed.
  • control for the motor in the adjustable headboard structure may be combined with the control for the bed bottom and it is also conceivable that some movements are programmed so that the headboard and the bed bottom move in conjunction to one or more positions which are pre-programmed.
  • the headboard may have many other shapes or adjusting mechanisms.
  • the headboard may also comprise several sections which are movable with respect to each other either automatically or manually.
  • the headboard may comprise a head supporting section pivotally connected to a back rest section. It is also conceivable to attach the rotary axis to arms pivotable with respect to the frame to move the rotary axis in vertical direction when the headboard is pivoting in order to keep the lower end of the headboard close to the mattress.
  • the invention provides an adjustable bed bottom and an adjustable headboard each enabling a person to sit-up in bed in a comfortable position and even adding to this comfort when used in combination.
  • the bed bottom and headboard are very useful in twin beds, as each person in the twin bed may adjust the bed bottom and/or the headboard without disturbing the other person in the bed, while still providing one large double mattress surface, without a gap, at the same time.
  • the adjustable bed bottom and the adjustable headboard can be therefore be used in combination with a two persons mattress or in a combination with a mattress cover covering the two mattresses.
  • the invention is not limited to the embodiments shown in the drawings and described herein before, which may be varied in the different manners within the scope of the claims and their technical equivalents. Aspects of the various embodiments may be combined with each other. For example, it would be possible not to move the one or more bed bottom sections downwardly with respect to the stationary longitudinal edges of the bed bottom but to move the longitudinal edges upwardly while one or more bed sections remain at a lower level thereby creating a level difference between the longitudinal edges and a central portion of one or more bed bottom sections. If the bed bottom is intended to be placed in a specially adapted bed frame, the stationary longitudinal edges of the bed frame could be integrated in the bed frame, while the bed frame may have wedged sides to hold and support the sides or edges of the mattress when the bed bottom is moved.
