Definitions

  • the present invention refers to an automatic lifting system for the supporting surface of a bed base.
  • bed base structures which form an internal compartment under the supporting surface of the mattress, to be used as a store to contain objects.
  • giroletto other structures, called “giroletto”, are composed of vertical walls under the supporting surface, which characterize an open space below the supporting surface.
  • the space in the bed base between the vertical walls can be empty or open, or can comprise another supporting surface below.
  • the supporting surface of the mattress When idle the supporting surface of the mattress is in direct contact with the upper edge of the bed base, while to allow access to the inner compartment the supporting surface can be lifted manually by means of a system of mechanical arms with optional return springs, positioned at one end of the supporting surface, which allows the other end of the supporting surface to be lifted, tilting it in elevation.
  • the object of the present invention is to overcome all the aforesaid drawbacks and to indicate an automatic lifting system of the supporting surface of a bed base which is easy to use, safe and moderate in cost.
  • the number 1 indicates a bed base, preferably of parallelepiped type which comprises an internal compartment 2, especially to contain objects, delimited by vertically extending perimeter walls 3.
  • the space in the bed base between the vertical walls can also be empty or open, or can comprise another supporting surface below it.
  • the number 4 indicates a supporting surface for a mattress, not shown.
  • the supporting surface can be of any known type, for example comprising an elastic base or wooden slats, single or double, of any dimension or thickness and of any material, also with springs.
  • the raised position must be substantially horizontal.
  • an automatic lifting system is inserted between the bed base and the supporting surface.
  • FIG. 1 An embodiment of the lifting system with raising and translation is shown in figure 1 .
  • the arms are pivoted at one end thereof inside two opposite lateral walls 3 of the bed base, and at the other end thereof at the internal edge of the supporting surface 4.
  • the length of the arms 5 and the pivot points thereof at the ends are such that in the idle position the supporting surface 4 is correspondingly resting on the bed base 1.
  • horizontal bars 6 which transversely join the lower ends of the opposed parallel arms 5.
  • an electric motor 8 fitted directly to the junction between the ends of a horizontal bar 6 and of an arm 5.
  • the electric motor 8 is capable of imparting a raising motion of the arms 5 by rotating according to the direction of the arrow a in figure, so as to make the supporting surface 4 perform a raising and translating movement according to the direction of the arrow b .
  • the electric motor 8 can be fastened to the wall 3 of the bed base or to the reinforcing section bar 7 so as to exert leverage thereon for rotation of the arm 5. Otherwise, it can be fastened to the horizontal bar 6 so as to exert leverage thereon; in this case, the bar 6 does not rotate together with the arm 5, but is fixed on the walls 3 or on the reinforcing section bars 7.
  • the lifting system can be installed so that translation of the supporting surface can take place in any of the horizontal directions with respect to the position of the bed base.
  • FIG. 2 An illustrative example of a second type of lifting system with raising only is shown in figure 2 (not part of the present invention).
  • the electric motor can be controlled by a remote control with or without wires, or by an electric push button in a suitable position, for example concealed in the bed base.
  • motors 8 at the vertices of the lifting system, for example one for each point in which the arms are pivoted to the bed base.
  • the main advantages consist in the ease of use in the raising operations of the bed to allow complete accessibility of the internal compartment and to allow easy access at a suitable height to tidy the bed.
  • the lifting system overcomes the drawbacks linked to the sudden ascent or descent of conventional systems, for example in conventional systems with return springs.
  • the lifting system allows the supporting surface to be taken to a raised position without appreciable physical effort, substantially for the following purposes:
