Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bearing element for supporting support slats on the longitudinal members of a bed base mattress, comprising pockets for receiving the end portions of the support slats, which are aligned transversely to the longitudinal members and serve as a support for a mattress, a bridge element both ends are formed as joints, which are attached to pins which can be fastened to the longitudinal member, spring elements, by means of which the pockets and the bridge element are resiliently connected to each other, and means for adjusting the hardness of the deflection of the spring elements.
  • the support slats are designed so that their deflection can be different and possibly also adjustable. However, this only affects the central region of the support slats, where the compression travel is the largest, while the edge regions of the support slats are practically constant.
  • bearing elements In order to improve the comfort of lying, bearing elements are used, in which the pockets for receiving the end portions of the support slats are resiliently supported. In the range of these spring elements support elements of different heights can be used, whereby the spring travel and thus the deflection of the bearing elements is limited.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a bearing element for the support of support slats on the longitudinal beams of a bed base with a means for adjusting the hardness of the deflection, which has an optimal mode of action, which can be conveniently manufactured, which in a simple manner is mountable and in which the resilient support of the pockets is optimal, so that excessive tilting is avoided with one-sided load.
  • this object is achieved in that on the underside of the pockets each one end portions of two pairs of spiral spring are fixed, which are each formed by a first leg and a second leg, whose respective first leg and second leg are aligned running away from each other first legs are provided with an outer bend and the second leg with an inner bend and the first leg and the second leg are aligned after the respective bend converging, that the other end portions of the first leg and the second leg of the two pairs of spiral spring with the bridge element are connected and that the means for adjusting the hardness of the deflection of a spacer are formed, which is inserted adjustably between the two inner bends of the two pairs of bending spring.
  • the spacer body is formed as a wheel which is rotatable about an axis which is inserted transversely to the compression direction of the bearing element in the bearing element, and has the wheel distributed over at least a portion of the circumference arranged areas having different widths.
  • the deflection movement of the second legs of the spiral spring pairs can be influenced against one another, whereby the hardness of the deflection can also be influenced.
  • the wheel over the at least part of the circumference extending region has a continuously increasing width, whereby the hardness of the deflection could be adjusted continuously.
  • the wheel is equipped with an operator element, via which the wheel is rotatable about the axis and the respective areas with different widths between the inner bends of the spiral spring pairs can be brought.
  • the wheel can be optimally adjusted using this operating element.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the operator element is designed as a slide which is slidably guided between the support slats in the bearing element, and which is provided with a transverse web, which engages in a slot which is radially attached to the wheel.
  • the slider optimally accommodate in the bearing element, on the other hand, the access for an operator person is optimal, the adjustment of the hardness of the deflection can be performed in a simple manner.
  • the slider is equipped with cams which engage in positioning grooves which are mounted in the bearing element.
  • the slider can be brought into the correct position, this so adjusted position of the slider can be easily detected by the operator person.
  • markings are provided on the slide, by means of which can be displayed, which area with the corresponding width of the wheel between the inner bends of the spiral spring pairs is in use. This allows the operator to recognize in an optimal way at a glance, which degree of hardness is set.
  • a further advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the wheel is housed with the operator element in a slot box.
  • the entire hardness adjustment device can be delivered in preassembled state and used in the respective bearing elements. This adjustment of the hardness can then be used only in the areas of a bed in the bearing elements, in which a hardness adjustment of the deflection is required.
  • this is equipped with guides into which the insertion box can be inserted.
  • the bearing element, the operator element and the wheel and optionally the insertion box are each made of a permanently elastic plastic, which simplifies the production of the respective elements and their installation.
  • a bearing element 1 is shown as it is used for the support of support slats 2 on the longitudinal members, not shown, to form a lower mattress of a bed.
  • This bearing element 1 has in known manner two pockets 3 and 4, in which also in a known manner, the end portions of the support slats 2 are inserted.
  • Such bearing elements 1 are arranged symmetrically on both longitudinal members of the lower mattress, whereby the support slats 2 are mounted at both end regions.
  • This bearing element 1 has a bridge element 5, whose two ends are formed as joints 6. These joints 6 are attached to pins 7, which are fastened to the longitudinal member, not shown.
  • first leg 10 and second leg 11 are each secured to the corresponding pocket 3 or 4, that they are aligned running away from each other.
  • the first leg 10 is then provided with an outer bend 12, while the second leg 11 is provided with an inner bend 13, so that the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 are again aligned with each other after the respective bend 12 and 13 respectively ,
  • the other end portions of the first leg 10 and the second leg 11 are fastened to the bridge element 5.
  • the respective first leg 10 and the second leg 11 thus form in the bearing element 1, the two in the present embodiment, the shape of a Rombus having two pairs of spiral spring 8 and 9.
  • the spacer body is inserted into correspondingly provided recesses in the bearing element 1, which is designed as a wheel 14.
  • This wheel 14 is rotatable about an axis 15, which is arranged transversely to the compression direction of the bearing element 1. In known manner, this axis 15 can be clipped into provided on the bearing element 1 pockets, resulting in a simple assembly.
  • the wheel 14 can be rotated via a slider 16, which acts as an operator element. This is this Slider 16 slidably guided in guides 20 in the bearing element 1, the slider 16 is provided with a slot-shaped recess 17 in which the wheel 14 engages.
  • slot-shaped recess 17 designed as a cross bar pin 18 is used, whose longitudinal axis is aligned parallel to the axis 15 about which the wheel 14 is rotatable.
  • This pin 18 engages in a slot 19 which is radially attached to the wheel 14.
  • the slider 16 is in the fully extended position.
  • the gap between the inner bends 13 of the spiral spring pairs 8 and 9 is completely free, the bending springs can unrestricted spring, the movement of the inner bends 13 toward each other is not limited. This achieves a soft spring deflection.
  • Fig. 7 to 9 which in turn show the same bearing element as the Fig. 1 to 3 , the position of the slider 16 and the wheel 14 is shown, in which the slider 16 is in the rearmost position.
  • the wheel 14 has been further rotated, so that the third region 23 of the wheel 14 passes between the two inner bends 13 of the two spiral spring pairs 8 and 9.
  • This third region 23 of the wheel 14 has the full width, this means that the gap between the inner bends 13 of the two pairs of spiral spring 8 and 9 is almost completely filled.
  • the inner bends 13 can move against each other. This means that the deflection of the bearing element 1 becomes hard.
  • the slider 16 is provided at its rear end with cams 24 which can engage in Positionierkerben 25, which are mounted on the bearing element 1, whereby the desired positions of the wheel 14 and the slider 16 are predetermined.
  • latching elements 28 are mounted on the insertion box, which are used in the Condition of the slide-in box in the bearing element 1 in recesses 29, the in Fig. 11 are visible, can engage.
  • the slider 16 and the wheel 14 is identical to that of the Fig. 1 to 9 has been described.
  • the slider 16, as is made Fig. 12 can be seen, provided with cams 24, which can engage in positioning notches 25 which are mounted on the insertion box 26, so that the corresponding positions can be optimally adjusted.
  • 16 markings 30 can be attached to the top of the slider, by means of which can be displayed, which area with the corresponding width of the wheel 14 between the inner bends 13 of the spiral spring pairs 8 and 9 is in use, which is the hardness adjustment of the deflection of the bearing element 1 facilitates.
  • Such markings can also be attached to the slider 16, which is inserted directly into the bearing element, as shown in the Fig. 1 to 9 is shown.
  • a directed against the wheel 14, protruding nose 31 is attached to the bridge element. If the wheel 14 is brought into the position in which the deflection is hard, the wheel 14 is supported during compression of the bearing element 1 on this nose 31, the deflection is then even harder. For this purpose, an area 32 (FIG. Fig. 11 ), which protrudes beyond the normal peripheral area, whereby the support of the wheel 14 on the nose 31 during the compression travel takes place very early.
