Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Federelement, insbesondere als Federkern einer Matratze oder Teil einer Untermatratze mit einer Vielzahl von insbesondere in Reihen und Spalten angeordneten derartigen Federelementen. Ein solches Federelement ist beispielsweise aus der EP 1 335 148 B1 bekannt. Dieses bekannte Federelement weist eine Basis auf, von der sich mehrere Federarme nach oben erstrecken, die gemeinsam eine Deckplatte tragen. Es ist auch schon vorgeschlagen worden, dass die Federarme eines Federelementes mehrere einzelne Deckplatten tragen, die unabhängig voneinander einfedern können. Ein Federelement gemäß dem Oberbegriff von Anspruch 1 ist aus der WO 2006/089705 A2 bekannt.The present invention relates to a spring element, in particular as a spring core of a mattress or part of a lower mattress with a plurality of such arranged in particular in rows and columns such spring elements. Such a spring element is for example from the EP 1 335 148 B1 known. This known spring element has a base from which a plurality of spring arms extend upwards, which together carry a cover plate. It has also been proposed that the spring arms of a spring element carry a plurality of individual cover plates, which can spring independently. A spring element according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from WO 2006/089705 A2 known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, Federelemente der genannten Art weiter zu verbessern.The invention has for its object to further improve spring elements of the type mentioned.

Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Merkmale von Anspruch 1 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen sind in den Unteransprüchen enthalten.This object is solved by the features of claim 1. Advantageous developments are contained in the subclaims.

Erfindungsgemäß sind also zwei oder mehr Deckplatten mit je einer Basis vorgesehen, die von dem Federkörper des Federelementes getragen werden. Von diesen Basen der Deckplatten erstreckt sich je ein weiterer Federkörper nach oben, beispielsweise mehrere Federarme, die ihrerseits eine oder mehrere Platten tragen, die gemeinsam die obere Stützfläche des Federelementes bilden.According to the invention, two or more cover plates are provided, each with a base, which are supported by the spring body of the spring element. Each of these bases of the cover plates extends a further spring body upwards, for example, a plurality of spring arms, which in turn carry one or more plates, which together form the upper support surface of the spring element.

Der Deckplattenfederkörper ist bevorzugt einstückig mit der Stützplatte und/oder der Deckplattenbasis ausgebildet. Dadurch können die Herstellungskosten gesenkt werden. Auch die Montage ist dadurch vereinfacht, insbesondere wenn ein Federelement mit mehreren selbst ebenfalls federnden Deckplatten versehen ist.The cover plate spring body is preferably formed integrally with the support plate and / or the cover plate base. As a result, the manufacturing costs can be reduced. The assembly is simplified, in particular when a spring element is provided with a plurality of itself also resilient cover plates.

Besonders bevorzug bestehen die Deckplatten jeweils aus einem Stück. Herstellung und Montage sind dabei besonders kostengünstig. Bei einem Federelement mit beispielsweise vier Deckplatten, die jeweils wiederum vier Stützplatten aufweisen, genügt es, die vier Deckplatten mit dem Federkörper des Federelementes zu verbinden, um ein Federelement mit einer 16-fachen Auflösung zu erhalten.Particularly Favor the cover plates each consist of one piece. Production and assembly are particularly cost-effective. In a spring element with, for example, four cover plates, which in turn each have four support plates, it is sufficient to connect the four cover plates with the spring body of the spring element in order to obtain a spring element with a 16-fold resolution.

Nach einer ebenfalls bevorzugten Ausgestaltung des Erfindung sind die Deckplatten so ausgebildet, dass sich der jeweilige Deckplattenfederkörper, die zugehörigen Stützplatten und die jeweilige Deckplattenbasis in Federrichtung betrachtet nicht gegenseitig überdecken. Dies hat zum einen den Vorteil, dass die Deckplatten jeweils einstückig mit einem einfachen Werkzeug hergestellt werden können, und zum anderen, dass die Stützplatten gegenüber der zugehörigen Deckplattenbasis maximal einfedern können. Der durch die federnden Deckplatten bewirkte zusätzliche Federweg ist dadurch besonders groß.According to a likewise preferred embodiment of the invention, the cover plates are formed so that the respective cover plate spring body, the associated support plates and the respective cover plate base viewed in the spring direction do not overlap each other. On the one hand, this has the advantage that the cover plates can each be produced in one piece with a simple tool, and on the other hand that the support plates can maximally deflect in relation to the associated cover plate base. The effect caused by the resilient cover plates additional travel is therefore particularly large.

Nach einer besonderen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weisen die Deckplattenfederkörper Federarme auf, die sich von der jeweiligen Deckplattenbasis radial nach außen erstrecken und jeweils paarweise eine von mehreren Stützplatten der jeweiligen Deckplatte umgreifen. Die federnden Deckplatten sind dadurch besonders stabil, und die Stützflächen federn besonders gleichmäßig ein. Die Gefahr eines Verkippens der Stützflächen ist ebenfalls gering.According to a particular embodiment of the invention, the cover plate spring body on spring arms which extend from the respective cover plate base radially outwardly and engage in pairs one of several support plates of the respective cover plate. The resilient cover plates are characterized particularly stable, and the support surfaces spring particularly evenly. The risk of tilting the support surfaces is also low.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, dass das erfindungsgemäße Federelement zwei oder mehr, insbesondere vier derartige Deckplatten aufweist, die jeweils von dem Federkörper getragen werden. Dabei ist es wiederum besonders vorteilhaft, dass die mehreren Deckplatten jeweils unabhängig voneinander einfedern können, also jeweils durch eigene, von anderen unabhängige Federarme mit der Basis des Federelementes verbunden sind. Damit kann jede einzelne der mehreren Deckplatten unabhängig einfedern, so dass die Auflösung einer Matratzen- oder Untermatratzenfläche durch die erfindungsgemäßen Federelemente entsprechend erhöht istIt is particularly advantageous that the spring element according to the invention comprises two or more, in particular four, such cover plates, in each case be worn by the spring body. It is again particularly advantageous that the plurality of cover plates can each independently spring, so are each connected by their own, independent from other spring arms with the base of the spring element. Thus, each of the plurality of cover plates can compress independently, so that the resolution of a mattress or Untermatratzenfläche is increased by the spring elements according to the invention accordingly

Noch weiter erhöht werden kann die Auflösung, wenn auch die von den Basen der mehreren Deckplatten getragenen Stützplatten gegenüber der zugehörigen Basis unabhängig einfedern können. Auch hierfür sind die Stützplatten bevorzugt über eigene Federarme mit der zugehörigen Basis der jeweiligen Deckplatte verbunden. Ein einziges Federelement kann dadurch beispielsweise sechzehn einzelne Stützplatten aufweisen, die jeweils einzeln gegenüber der Basis der jeweiligen Deckplatte einfedern können und gemeinsam mit den drei anderen Stützplatten der jeweiligen Deckplatte, aber unabhängig von den Stützplatten der anderen Deckplatten weiter einfedern können.The resolution can be increased even further, although the support plates carried by the bases of the plurality of cover plates can spring in independently of the associated base. Again, the support plates are preferably connected via their own spring arms with the associated base of the respective cover plate. As a result, for example, a single spring element can have sixteen individual support plates, each of which can deflect individually relative to the base of the respective cover plate and can continue to deflect together with the three other support plates of the respective cover plate, but independently of the support plates of the other cover plates.

Der Federweg des Federkörpers zwischen Deckplattenbasis und Stützplatte beträgt bevorzugt zwischen 1/6 bis 1/2 des Gesamtfederwegs des Federelements insbesondere zwischen 3/12 und 5/12. Dadurch kann eine hohe Stabilität des Federelementes erzielt werden.The spring travel of the spring body between cover plate base and support plate is preferably between 1/6 to 1/2 of the total spring travel of the spring element, in particular between 3/12 and 5/12. As a result, a high stability of the spring element can be achieved.

Die Federkörper des Federelementes bestehen bevorzugt aus hochwertigem Federkunststoff, während die Stützplatten und/oder die Basen des Federelementes auch aus einfachem, kostengünstigem Kunststoff hergestellt sein können. Hierfür sind die Deckplatten und Stützplatten bevorzugt als separate Teile ausgebildet. Damit können Kosten eingespart werden.The spring body of the spring element are preferably made of high quality spring plastic, while the support plates and / or the bases of the spring element can also be made of simple, inexpensive plastic. For this purpose, the cover plates and support plates are preferably designed as separate parts. This can save costs.

An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and will be briefly described below. They show, in each case in a schematic representation,

Das erfindungsgemäße Federelement umfasst eine Basis 1, vier Deckplatten 2 und einen zwischen den Deckplatten 2 und der Basis 1 angeordneten Federkörper 3. Der Federkörper 3 besteht aus vier Paaren von Federarmen 4, die bogenförmig von der Basis 1 radial nach außen und nach oben geführt sind und dort ineinander übergehen. Von der jeweiligen Verbindungsstelle der Arme 4 sind jeweils zwei weitere Arme 5 wieder bogenförmig radial nach innen und ebenfalls nach oben zurückgeführt. Auch diese Arme 5 sind zusammengeführt und tragen an ihrer Verbindungsstelle jeweils einen Ring 6, der sich von der Verbindungsstelle radial nach außen erstreckt.The spring element according to the invention comprises a base 1, four cover plates 2 and arranged between the cover plates 2 and the base 1 spring body 3. The spring body 3 consists of four pairs of spring arms 4, which are arcuately guided by the base 1 radially outwards and upwards and then merge into each other. From the respective junction of the arms 4, two further arms 5 are again returned arcuately radially inwardly and also upwards. These arms 5 are merged and wear at their junction in each case a ring 6, which extends from the connection point radially outward.

In den Ring 6 ist jeweils die zugehörige Deckplatte 2 mit ihrer Basis 7 eingesetzt. Von der Basis 7 jeder Deckplatte 2 erstrecken sich wieder vier Paare von Federarmen 8 radial nach außen und oben. Auch hier sind die beiden Arme 8 eines Paares an ihren Enden zusammengeführt und gehen dort in eine obere Stützplatte 9 über, die sich ausgehend von der Verbindungsstelle der Arme 8 eines Paares radial nach innen, also in Richtung auf die Basis 7 der jeweiligen Deckplatte 2 erstreckt. Die Stützplatten 9 bilden zusammen die Stützfläche des erfindungsgemäßen Federelementes und können grundsätzlich auch als separates Teil ausgebildet sein, insbesondere um sie aus verhältnismäßig einfachem, kostengünstigem Kunststoff herstellen zu können. Die Federkörper 3 und 8 sind dagegen bevorzugt aus hochwertigem Federkunststoff hergestellt, um gute und dauerhafte Federeigenschaften zu gewährleisten. Für Federkernmatratzen können jeweils zwei derartige Federelemente spiegelbildlich miteinander zugewandten Basen 1 angeordnet werden.In the ring 6 each associated cover plate 2 is inserted with its base 7. From the base 7 of each cover plate 2, four pairs of spring arms 8 extend radially outwardly and upwardly again. Again, the two arms 8 of a pair are brought together at their ends and go there in an upper support plate 9, which extends from the junction of the arms 8 of a pair radially inward, ie in the direction of the base 7 of the respective cover plate 2 , The support plates 9 together form the support surface of the spring element according to the invention and can in principle also be formed as a separate part, in particular in order to be able to produce it from relatively simple, inexpensive plastic. The spring body 3 and 8, however, are preferably made of high quality spring plastic to ensure good and lasting spring properties. For spring mattresses each two such spring elements can be arranged mirror-inverted bases 1 facing each other.

Man erkennt, dass das erfindungsgemäße Federelement im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel sechzehn obere Stützplatten 9 umfasst und daher eine entsprechende Auflösung einer Fläche bietet. Zudem erkennt man insbesondere in Fig. 1 und 2, dass der Federweg des Federelementes gegenüber herkömmlichen Federelementen mit rein flächigen Deckplatten erhöht ist. Der zusätzliche Federweg kann beispielsweise 10 bis 15 mm betragen bei einem Federweg des Hauptfederkörpers von beispielsweise 30 mm.It can be seen that the spring element according to the invention in the illustrated embodiment comprises sixteen upper support plates 9 and therefore provides a corresponding resolution of a surface. In addition one recognizes in particular in Fig. 1 and 2 in that the spring travel of the spring element is increased with respect to conventional spring elements having purely flat cover plates. The additional spring travel may for example be 10 to 15 mm at a spring travel of the main spring body, for example, 30 mm.

Man erkennt außerdem, dass die Federarme 8 der Deckplatten 2 jeweils mit der zugehörigen Deckplattenbasis 7 und den zugehörigen Stützplatten 9 einstückig ausgebildet sind, wobei die Federarme 8 jeweils paarweise eine zugehörige Stützplatte 9 umgreifen. Dadurch ergibt sich zum einen eine einfach Herstellung und Montage und zum anderen ein sehr gutes Federverhalten der Deckplatten 2. Durch die symmetrische Anordnung von jeweils vier Stützplatten 9 in Bezug auf die zugehörige Deckplattenbasis 7 ergibt sich außerdem eine gleichmäßige Auflösung der durch die Deckplatten 2 gebildeten Stützfläche.It can also be seen that the spring arms 8 of the cover plates 2 each with the associated cover plate base 7 and the associated support plates 9 are integrally formed, wherein the spring arms 8 in pairs engage around an associated support plate 9. The symmetrical arrangement of four support plates 9 with respect to the associated cover plate base 7 results in addition to a uniform resolution of the support surface formed by the cover plates 2 on the one hand ,
