Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Untermatratze fĂ¼r ein Bett, umfassend zwei in Längsrichtung des Bettes verlaufende, voneinander beabstandete Längsträger, mehrere an diesen Längstragern in Auflagern gehaltene StĂ¼tzelemente, welche StĂ¼tzelemente quer zu diesen Längsträger ausgerichtet sind und um diese Auflager in einer senkrecht zu den Längsträgern stehenden Ebene bewegbar sind, deren beide Seitenteile Ă¼ber die Längsträger vorstehend sind und mit jeweils einem BrĂ¼ckenelement ausgestattet sind, deren den Seitenteilen abgewandte Endbereiche gegeneinander gerichtet sind und miteinander beweglich verbunden sind, Haltemittel, die an den äusseren Endbereichen der Seitenteile der StĂ¼tzelemente angebracht sind, und Federleisten, deren Enden in aniden Halternitteln angebrachten Taschen einsteckbar und fixiert sind, und die oberhalb der StĂ¼tzelemente eine Auflagefläche fĂ¼r eine Obermatratze bilden.The present invention relates to a bed mattress comprising two longitudinally spaced beams extending longitudinally of the bed, a plurality of supporting elements supported on said longitudinal supports, supporting elements oriented transversely to said longitudinal beams and surrounding said supports in a direction perpendicular to said bed rails Longitudinal members are movable, the two side parts are projecting over the longitudinal beams and are each equipped with a bridge element, the side parts facing away from the end portions are directed towards each other and are movably connected to each other, holding means which are attached to the outer end portions of the side parts of the support elements, and spring strips, the ends of which are attached in aniden Halternitteln pockets inserted and fixed, and above the support elements form a support surface for a mattress top.

Derartige Untermatratzen sind bekannt. Um einen optimalen Liegekomfort auf dieser Untermatratze erreichen zu können, sind die StĂ¼tzelemente schwenkbar in Auflagern auf den Längsträger gehalten, sodass die StĂ¼tzelemente bei Belastung der Untermatratze entgegen der Lasit wegschwenken können. Dieses Wegschwenken erfolgt in bekannter Weise entgegen einer Dämpfungskraft, die je nach der Höhe der Belastung der Untermatratze eingestellt werden kann. Die StĂ¼tzelemente weisen zwei Seitenteile auf, die jeweils symmetrisch zueinander auf dem jeweiligein Längsträger angebracht sind. Die beiden Seitenteile weisen jeweils ein BrĂ¼ckenelement auf, welche gegeneinander gerichtet sind und bewegbar miteinander verbunden sind. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass beim Ausscnwenken des einen Seitenteils durch die Belastung die Schwenkbewegung durch die BrĂ¼ckenelemente und deren Verbindung miteinander auf das gegenĂ¼berliegende Seitenteil Ă¼bertragen wird, bei Belastung schwenken somit beide Seitenteile eines StĂ¼tzelementes aus, die Auflagefläche fĂ¼r die Obermatratze, gebildet durch die Federleisten, erfährt somit keine Neigung, auch bei seitlicher Belastung nicht.Such sub-mattresses are known. In order to achieve optimal comfort on this mattress base, the support elements are pivotally supported in supports on the side rail, so that the support elements can move away from the load when the lower mattress against the Lasit. This pivoting away in a known manner against a damping force that can be adjusted depending on the amount of stress on the mattress. The support elements have two side parts, which are each mounted symmetrically to each other on the respective longitudinal member. The two side parts each have a bridge element, which are directed towards each other and are movably connected to each other. This ensures that when Ausscnwenken the one side part by the load, the pivoting movement is transmitted through the bridge elements and their connection with each other on the opposite side part, under load thus swing both sides of a support element, the support surface for the top mattress, formed by the spring strips, thus experiences no tendency, even with lateral load not.

Bei derartig gelagerten StĂ¼tzelementen, wie dies beispielsweise aus der Veröffentlichung US5774911 A bekannt ist, entsteht beim Verschwenkten der jeweiligen Seitenteile um die Auflager an den entsprechenden Längsträger eine Längenänderung, wodurch sich die Breite der Untermatratze in diesem Bereich vergrössert. Dies ist einerseits aus ästhetischen GrĂ¼nden nicht erwĂ¼nscht, ferner mĂ¼sste ein Rahmen, falls eine derartige Untermatratze in einen solchen eingesetzt wird, entsprechend breiter ausgebildet sein, sodass es auch bei voller Verschwenkung der Seitenteile der entsprechendein StĂ¼tzelemente nicht zu BerĂ¼hrungen kommt.In such supported support elements, as for example from the publication US5774911 A is known, arises when pivoting the respective side parts to the supports on the corresponding side member a change in length, which increases the width of the lower mattress in this area. This is not desirable on the one hand for aesthetic reasons, also would have a frame, if such a base mattress is used in such a correspondingly wider, so that it does not come into contact with full pivoting of the side panels of the corresponding a support elements.

Aus der Veröffentlichung EP0539644 A ist eine Einrichtung bekannt, bei welcher eine Verbindung zwischen Federleisten und StĂ¼tzelementen gezeigt ist, mit welchen die vorgängig auigefĂ¼hrten Nachteile nicht ausgeräumt sind.From the publication EP0539644 A a device is known in which a connection between the spring strips and support elements is shown, with which the previously auigefĂ¼hren disadvantages are not eliminated.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht somit darin, dass bei derartig ausgebildeten Untermatratzen beim entsprechenden Verschwenken der StĂ¼tzleisten praktisch keine Veränderung der Breite dieser Untermatratze erfolgt und dass die Lagerung des Härtemittel auf dem Seitenteil optimal ist.The object of the present invention is thus that in such a trained Untermatratzen the corresponding pivoting of the support strips is virtually no change in the width of this base mattress and that the storage of the curing agent on the side part is optimal.

Erfindungsgemäss erfolgt die Lösung dieser Aufgabe dadurch, dass an den Haltemitteln jeweils ein Lager angebracht ist, in welchem der jeweilige äussere Endbereich des entsprechenden Seitenteils, auf welchen eine LagerhĂ¼lse aus gleitfähigem Material aufgesetzt und fixiert ist, eingesetzt und das Haltemittel bezĂ¼glich des Endbereichs des Seitenteils axial verschiebbar gelagert ist, wobei die axiale Verschiebung des Haftemittels gegen den Seitenteil hin durch ein erstes Anschlagelement und die axiale Verschiebung des Haltemittels vom Seitenteil weg durch ein zweites Anschlagelement begrenzt ist.According to the invention, the solution of this object is achieved in that a respective bearing is mounted on the holding means, in which the respective outer end portion of the corresponding side part, on which a bearing sleeve made of lubricious material is placed and fixed, used and the holding means with respect to the end portion of the side part axially is slidably mounted, wherein the axial displacement of the adhesive against the side member is limited by a first stop member and the axial displacement of the holding means away from the side part by a second stop element.

Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die seitliche Bewegungskomponente beim Verschwenken der Seitenteile um die Auflager in den Haltemitteln aufgenommen wird, und dass eine geräuschlose und optimale Lagerung des Haltemittels auf dem Seitenteil erreicht werden kann.This ensures that the lateral movement component is taken when pivoting the side parts to the supports in the holding means, and that a noiseless and optimal storage of the holding means can be achieved on the side part.

In vorteilhafter Weise besteht das am jeweiligen Haltemittei angebrachte Lager aus einer Ă–ffnung, in welcher der Endbereich des jeweiligen Seitenteils eingesteckt und gegen Verdrehung gesichert ist, was einen besonders einfachen Aufbau dieses Lagers ergibt.Advantageously, the mounted on the respective Haltemittei bearing consists of an opening in which the end portion of the respective side part is inserted and secured against rotation, resulting in a particularly simple construction of this camp.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist die Ă–ffnung aus einem geschlossenen BĂ¼gel gebildet, welcher an einer Lasche angebracht ist, welche am Haltemittel befestigt ist. Neben der einfachen Herstellung wird auch erreicht, dass der das Lager bildende BĂ¼gel die Veränderung der Lage des Endbereichs des Seitenteils beim Ausschwenken ausgleichen kann.Advantageously, the opening is formed of a closed bracket which is attached to a tab which is secured to the holding means. In addition to the simple production is also achieved that the bracket forming the bearing can compensate for the change in the position of the end portion of the side part when swinging.

Eine einfache Verdrehsicherung der Haltemittel bezĂ¼glich der StĂ¼tzelemente wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Ă–ffnung die Querschnittform eines Vierkants aufweist, und dass der Endbereich des jeweiligen Seltenteils eine entsprechende vierkantige Querschnittform aufweist.A simple rotation of the retaining means relative to the support elements is achieved in that the opening has the cross-sectional shape of a square, and that the end portion of the respective Seltenteils has a corresponding quadrangular cross-sectional shape.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist das zweite Anschlagelement an der LagerhĂ¼lse angebracht, wodurch eine einfache Herstellung erreichbar ist.Advantageously, the second stop element is attached to the bearing sleeve, whereby a simple production can be achieved.

Eine weitere vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung der Erfindung besieht darin, dass die Fixierung der LagerhĂ¼lse auf dem Endbereich des jeweiligen Seitenteils durch einen ersten Schnappmechanismus erreichbar ist, was neben einem einfachen Aufbau insbesondere eine einfache Montage ermöglicht.A further advantageous embodiment of the invention provides that the fixing of the bearing sleeve on the end region of the respective side part can be achieved by a first snap mechanism, which in addition to a simple structure in particular allows easy installation.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist dem ersten Anschlagelement ein Federelement vorgelagert, wodurch eine Zentrierung der Position der Federleisten mit den Haltemitteln bezĂ¼glich der StĂ¼tzelemente erreichbar ist.Advantageously, the first stop element is preceded by a spring element, whereby a centering of the position of the spring strips with the holding means with respect to the support elements can be achieved.

In vorteilhafter Weise ist das zweite Anschlagelement als zweiter Schnappmechanismus ausgestaltet, und erfolgt die Fixierung der Federleisten in den Haltemitteln Ă¼ber einen dritten Schnappmechanismus, was neben einer einfachen Herstellung insbesondere eine einfache Montage der entsprechenden Teile ermöglicht.Advantageously, the second stop element is designed as a second snap mechanism, and the fixing of the spring strips in the holding means via a third snap mechanism, which in addition to a simple production in particular allows easy installation of the corresponding parts.

Eine AusfĂ¼hrungsform der Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand der beiliegenden Zeichnung beispielhaft näher erläutert.An embodiment of the invention will be explained in more detail by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Fig. 1 zeigt im Schnitt die eine Seite einer Untermatratze gemäss dem bekannten Stand der Technik eines Bettes. Hierbei ist ein Längsträger 1 von zwei die Untermatratze bildenden Längsträgern dargestellt. In einem auf diesem Längsträger 1 gehaltenen Auflager 2 ist um deren Schwenkachse 3, die parallel zum Längsträger 1 ausgerichtet ist, der eine Seitenteil 4 eines StĂ¼tzelementes 5 gelagert. Dieser Seitenteil 4 ist mit einem BrĂ¼ckenelement 6 versehen, welches Ă¼ber eine bewegliche Verbindung 7 mit dem BrĂ¼ckenelement 8 des symmetrisch angeordneten, nicht dargestellten anderen Seitenteils dieses StĂ¼tzelementes 5 verbunden ist. Am Endbereich 9 dieses Seitenteils 4 ist ein Haltemittel 10 aufgesetzt und mit dem Seitenteil 4 fest verbunden. In Taschen 11, die im Haltemittel 10 angebracht sind, sind in bekannter Weise Federleisten 12 eingesteckt und längsverschieblich gehalten. Diese Federleisten 12 bilden eine Auflagefläche 13 fĂ¼r eine auf diese Untermatratze auflegbare Obermatratze. Fig. 1 shows in section the one side of a lower mattress according to the known prior art of a bed. Here, a longitudinal beam 1 of two forming the lower mattress side rails is shown. In a support 2 held on this longitudinal member 1, a side part 4 of a support element 5 is mounted about its pivot axis 3, which is aligned parallel to the longitudinal member 1. This side part 4 is provided with a bridge element 6, which is connected via a movable connection 7 with the bridge element 8 of the symmetrically arranged, not shown, other side part of this support element 5. At the end portion 9 of this side part 4, a holding means 10 is placed and fixedly connected to the side part 4. In pockets 11 which are mounted in the holding means 10, spring strips 12 are inserted in a known manner and held longitudinally displaceable. These spring strips 12 form a bearing surface 13 for a mattress which can be laid on this sub-mattress.

Wenn nun die Untermatratze belastet wird, schwenkt das Seitenteil 4 um die Schwenkachse 3 nach unten, dargestellt durch Pfeil 14. Da die Haltemittel 10 am Seitenteil 4 befestigt sind, erhält man eine Vergrösserung der Breite dieser Untermatratze um das Mass ΔL, weil die ursprĂ¼ngliche Breite L0 im unbelasteten Zustand sich ändert auf die Länge L1 im belasteten Zustand. Selbstverständlich ist das Verschwenken des Seitenteils 4 um das Auflager 2 in bekannter Weise gedämpft und abgefedert.Now, if the lower mattress is loaded, pivots the side part 4 about the pivot axis 3 down, represented by arrow 14. Since the holding means 10 are attached to the side part 4, one obtains an increase in the width of this sub-mattress by the measure .DELTA.L, because the original width L0 in the unloaded state changes to the length L1 in the loaded state. Of course, the pivoting of the side part 4 is damped around the support 2 in a known manner and cushioned.

In Fig. 2 ist die erfindungsgemässe Ausgestaltung der Haltemittel 10 dargestellt. Beim Verschwenken des Seitenteils 4 um die Schwenkachse 3 des Auflagers 2, das am Längsträger 1 angebracht ist, wird eine Längenänderung ΔL der Breite der Untermatratze erhalten, die vernachlässigbar klein ist. Dies wird dadurch erreicht, dass die Federleisten 12 in den Taschen 11 des Haltemittels 10 fixiert sind, schematisch dargestellt durch Bolzen 15, das Haltemittel 10 ist mit einem Lager 16 versehen, in welchem der Endbereich 9 des Seitenteils 4 axial verschiebbar gelagert ist. Somit lässt sich die Verschiebung des Seitenteils 4 im Lager 16 des Haltemittels 10 kompensieren.In Fig. 2 the inventive design of the holding means 10 is shown. When pivoting the side part 4 about the pivot axis 3 of the support 2, which is attached to the side member 1, a change in length .DELTA.L of the width of the lower mattress is obtained, which is negligibly small. This is achieved in that the spring strips 12 are fixed in the pockets 11 of the holding means 10, shown schematically by bolts 15, the holding means 10 is provided with a bearing 16 in which the end portion 9 of the side part 4 is mounted axially displaceable. Thus, the displacement of the side part 4 in the bearing 16 of the holding means 10 can be compensated.

Aus Fig. 3 ist der Aufbau des Lagers 16 ersichtlich. Dieses Lager 16 umfasst einen geschlossenen BĂ¼gel 17, welcher eine Ă–ffnung 18 bildet. Dieser BĂ¼gel 17 ist an einer Lasche 19 angebracht, welche am Haltemittel 10 befestigt ist. Durch diese Anordnung lässt sich der BĂ¼gel 17 bewegen, wodurch sich die Verschwenkbewegung des Seitenteils 4, dessen Endbereich 9 in die Ă–ffnung 18 des BĂ¼gels 17 eingesteckt ist, aufgenommen werden kann.Out Fig. 3 the structure of the bearing 16 can be seen. This bearing 16 comprises a closed bracket 17, which forms an opening 18. This bracket 17 is attached to a tab 19 which is secured to the holding means 10. By this arrangement, the bracket 17 can be moved, whereby the pivoting movement of the side part 4, the end portion 9 is inserted into the opening 18 of the bracket 17, can be accommodated.

Auf den Endbereich 9 des Seitenteils 4 des StĂ¼tzelementes ist zusätzlich eine LagerhĂ¼lse 20 aufgesteckt. Diese LagerhĂ¼lse 20 besteht aus einem gleitfähigen Material. Diese LagerhĂ¼lse 20 wird Ă¼ber eine Klinke 21, die einen ersten Schnappmechanismus 26 bildet, am Endbereich 9 des Seitenteils 4 festgehalten. Der Endbereich 9 des Seitenteils 4 wird somit zusammen mit dieser LagerhĂ¼lse 20 in die Ă–ffnung 18 des BĂ¼gels 17 eingeschoben. Die Gleitbewegung bei der axialen Verschiebung erfolgt somit zwischen der LagerhĂ¼lse 20 und dem BĂ¼gel 17. Der BĂ¼gel 17 umschliesst die Ă–ffnung 18, die eine vierkantige Querschnittform aufweist. Die Aussenform der LagerhĂ¼lse 20, die auf den Endbereich 9 des Seitenteils 4 aufgesetzt ist, ist ebenfalls vierkantförmig, dadurch erhält man in einfacher Weise eine Drehsicherung des Haltemittels 10 bezĂ¼glich des Seitenteils 4. Die Federleisten 12 sind in die Taschen 11 der Haltemittel 10 eingesteckt.On the end portion 9 of the side part 4 of the support element, a bearing sleeve 20 is additionally attached. This bearing sleeve 20 is made of a lubricious material. This bearing sleeve 20 is held on the end portion 9 of the side part 4 via a pawl 21, which forms a first snap mechanism 26. The end portion 9 of the side part 4 is thus inserted together with this bearing sleeve 20 in the opening 18 of the bracket 17. The sliding movement in the axial displacement thus takes place between the bearing sleeve 20 and the bracket 17. The bracket 17 encloses the opening 18, which has a four-edged cross-sectional shape. The outer shape of the bearing sleeve 20, which is placed on the end portion 9 of the side part 4, is also Square, thereby one obtains in a simple manner a rotation of the retaining means 10 with respect to the side part 4. The spring strips 12 are inserted into the pockets 11 of the holding means 10.

Wie aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist, sind die Federleisten 12 in den Taschen 11 der Haltemittel 10 festgehalten. Hierzu sind die Endbereiche 22 der Federleisten 12 mit einer Ausnehmung 23 versehen. Im in die Tasche 11 eingesetzten Zustand der Federleisten 12 schnappt eine Klinke 24 eines dritten Schnappmechanismus 25 in die Ausnehmung 23 ein, welche Klinke 24 am Haltemittel 10 gehalten ist, wie nachfolgend noch im Detail gesehen wird.How out Fig. 4 it can be seen, the spring strips 12 are held in the pockets 11 of the holding means 10. For this purpose, the end portions 22 of the spring strips 12 are provided with a recess 23. In inserted into the pocket 11 state of the spring strips 12 a pawl 24 snaps a third snap mechanism 25 into the recess 23, which pawl 24 is held on the holding means 10, as will be seen in more detail below.

Aus den Fig. 5 und 6 ist die Unterseite der Haltemittel 10 ersichtlich, mit dem daran befestigten BĂ¼gel 17. In diesem BĂ¼gel 17 eingesetzt ist der Endbereich 9 des Seitenteils 4, auf welchem die LagerhĂ¼lse 20 aufgesetzt und durch den ersten Schnappmechanismus 26 (Fig. 3) gehalten ist.From the FIGS. 5 and 6 is the underside of the holding means 10 can be seen, with the attached bracket 17. In this bracket 17 is used, the end portion 9 of the side part 4, on which the bearing sleeve 20 is placed and by the first snap mechanism 26 (FIG. Fig. 3 ) is held.

Die axiale Verschiebung des Haltemittels 10 vom Seitenteil 4 weg wird durch ein zweites Anschlagelement 27 begrenzt. Dieses zweite Anschlagelement 27 ist hakenförmig ausgebildet und an der LagerhĂ¼lse 20 befestigt. Dieses zweite Anschlagelement 27 vermeidet ein ungewolltes Ausfahren des Haltemittels 10 aus dem Seitenteil 4. Durch die hakenförmige Ausgestaltung dieses zweiten Anschlagelementes 27 wird ein zweiter Schnappmechanismus 28 erhalten, mit welchem ermöglicht wird, dass das Haltemittel 10 in einfacher Weise auf den Endbereich 9 des Seitenteils 4 aufgesetzt werden kann, nach Erreichen der richtigen Position schnappt das zweite Anschlagelement 27 des zweiten Schnappmechanismus 28 ein, das Haltemittel 10 wird auf dem Seitenteil 4 gehalten.The axial displacement of the holding means 10 away from the side part 4 is limited by a second stop element 27. This second stop element 27 is hook-shaped and attached to the bearing sleeve 20. This second stop element 27 avoids unwanted extension of the holding means 10 from the side part 4. The hook-shaped configuration of this second stop element 27, a second snap mechanism 28 is obtained, which allows the holding means 10 in a simple manner to the end portion 9 of the side part can be placed after reaching the correct position snaps the second stop member 27 of the second snap mechanism 28, the holding means 10 is held on the side part 4.

Das erste Anschlagelement 29, mit welchem die axiale Verschiebung des Haltemittels 10 gegen den Seitenteil 4 hin begrenzt wird, wird von der Wandung des Haltemittels 10 gebildet, an welche die Stirnseite 30 des Seitenteils 4 bzw. der auf dieser aufgesteckten LagerhĂ¼lse 20 anstösst. Zwischen diesem ersten Anschlagelement 29 und der Stirnfläche 30 des Seitenteils 4 bzw. der auf dieser aufgesetzten LagerhĂ¼lse 20 ist ein Federelement 31 eingesetzt. Dieses Federelement 31 bewirkt, dass jeweils zwei einander gegenĂ¼berliegende Haltemittel 10, die Ă¼ber die Federleisten 12 miteinander verbunden sind, immer mittig gehalten werden. Dadurch wird erreicht, dass die entlang einem Längsträger angeordneten Haltemittel 10 immer ausgerichtet sind, ein Vorstehen des einen Haltemittels und ein ZurĂ¼ckstehen des anderen Haltemittels bezĂ¼glich des Seitenrandes der Untermatratze wird dadurch vermieden.The first stop element 29, with which the axial displacement of the holding means 10 is limited against the side part 4, is formed by the wall of the holding means 10, to which the end face 30 of the side part 4 or aufsteckten on this bearing sleeve 20 abuts. Between this first stop element 29 and the end face 30 of the side part 4 and the bearing sleeve 20 placed thereon, a spring element 31 is inserted. This spring element 31 causes each two mutually opposite holding means 10, which are connected to each other via the spring strips 12, are always held centrally. As a result, it is achieved that the holding means 10 arranged along a longitudinal carrier are always aligned, a projection of the one holding means and a restraining of the other holding means with respect to the side edge of the lower mattress is thereby avoided.

Wie aus den Fig. 5 und 6 zudem ersichtlich ist, sind die Federleisten 12 in die jeweilige Tasche 11 des entsprechenden Haltemittels 10 eingesetzt. Hierbei schnappt der dritte Schnappmechanismus 25, gebildet durch die jeweilige Klinke 24, die am Haltemittel 10 angeformt ist, in die an der Federleiste 12 angebrachte Ausnehmung 23 ein.Like from the FIGS. 5 and 6 It can also be seen that the spring strips 12 are inserted into the respective pocket 11 of the corresponding holding means 10. Here, the third snap mechanism 25, formed by the respective pawl 24, which is integrally formed on the holding means 10, snaps into the recess 23 attached to the spring bar 12.

Die Haltemittel 10 und die LagerhĂ¼lsen 20 sind aus einem elastischen Kunststoff gefertigt, durch jeweilige elastische Verformung des entsprechenden Teils werden die ersten, zweiten und dritten Schnappmechanismen 26, 28 und 25 erhalten.The holding means 10 and the bearing sleeves 20 are made of an elastic plastic, by respective elastic deformation of the corresponding part, the first, second and third snap mechanisms 26, 28 and 25 are obtained.

Mit diesen Haltemitteln und dem Zusammenwirken mit den Seitenteilen der StĂ¼tzelemente und den Federleisten wird eine optimale Halterung der Federleisten auf den Seitenteilen der StĂ¼tzelemente erreicht, durch die verschiedenen Schnappmechanismen wird eine einfachste Montage dieser StĂ¼tzelemente erhalten, die Funktionsweise ist optimal.With these holding means and the interaction with the side parts of the support elements and the spring strips optimum retention of the spring strips on the side parts of the support elements is achieved by the various snap mechanisms a simple installation of these support elements is obtained, the operation is optimal.
