Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a bed base device kit, a bed base device and a method for mounting a bed base device.
  • a bed frame is a bulky furniture framing a bed base that supports a mattress of a bed.
  • bed base device is used to refer to the combined bed frame and bed base.
  • the bulky bed base device may not be easily transported in an assembled state. Therefore, it is desirable to transport bed base devices from a manufacturing site to a store, and even to the final customer, in relatively small, flat packages. Even when the bed base device is transported in a disassembled state, the individual parts of the bed base device are large and require relatively large packages for transport.
  • a bed frame comprising rails of e.g. metal.
  • An example of such a bed frame is shown in US 2009/0133191 , wherein a number of rigid, metal bed frame components are assembled into a rectangular bed frame. The bed frame components may be connected to each other upon assembly and the individual bed frame components may therefore be relatively small facilitating transport of the bed frame in a disassembled state.
  • the bed base device comprises a metal bed frame assembly and stationary frames forming rigid rectangular perimeters to adjustable bed supports. Side panels may be formed from separate parts that may be attached to the stationary frames. However, even though the bed base device is provided with broad side panels, these do not provide the bed frame structure. Rather, a further frame structure formed by metal rails is required.
  • a knock-down bed frame assembly is disclosed.
  • the knock-down bed frame assembly is formed from plastic components and includes a frame having a pair of side rails and a pair of end rails joined together to define the rectangular peripheral edge of the bed frame.
  • the side rails are each formed from at least a pair of side boards connected to each other by a connector bracket.
  • the entire knock-down bed frame can be disassembled into individual components that can be contained with a conventional shipping container.
  • US 7,003,822 describes a bed frame that is suitable for transport, it is based on a construction formed of plastic parts. The construction may not be easily used for bed frames of other materials, such as wood.
  • a bed base device kit comprising: end rail elements adapted to form a head rail and a foot rail of the bed base device; separate first and second side rail elements, which are adapted to be connected to each other to together form a side rail of the bed base device connecting the head rail to the foot rail, wherein the first and second side rail elements are oblong and each comprise a first portion and a second portion along a longitudinal direction of the side rail element, wherein the second portions of the first and second side rail elements are adapted to be arranged overlapping each other in an overlap portion with the first portion of the first side rail element extending in one direction from the overlap portion and the first portion of the second side rail element extending in an opposite direction from the overlap portion, wherein a cross-section of the second portion is smaller than a cross-section of the first portion and the cross-sections of the second portions of the first and second side rail elements are mutually shaped so that a periphery of the common cross-section of the second portions, when
  • a bed base device comprising: a head rail, a foot rail and side rails connecting the head rail to the foot rail, wherein each side rail comprises a first and a second side rail element, which are connected to each other when mounting the bed base device for forming the side rail, wherein the first and the second side rail elements are oblong and each comprise a first portion and a second portion along a longitudinal direction of the side rail element, wherein the second portions of the first and second side rail elements are arranged overlapping each other in an overlap portion with the first portion of the first side rail element extending in one direction from the overlap portion and the first portion of the second side rail element extending in an opposite direction from the overlap portion, wherein a cross-section of the second portion is smaller than a cross-section of the first portion and the cross-sections of the second portions of the first and second side rail elements are mutually shaped so that a periphery of the common cross-section of the overlapping second portions correspond to a peripher
  • a method of mounting a bed base device comprising: receiving a bed base device kit according to the first aspect of the invention in at least one oblong package; connecting first and second side rail elements to each other to form two oblong boards; and connecting the end rail elements to the oblong boards to form a rectangular bed frame.
  • the individual first and second side rail elements are not as long as the entire length of the oblong board formed by these elements.
  • the first and second side rail elements may be fitted into a package that does not need to be as long as the entire length of the side rail. This facilitates transport of the bed base device kit in small package(s).
  • the overlap portion may be arranged to constitute a substantial portion of the oblong board formed by the side rail elements. This implies that the first and second rail elements may be firmly connected to each other and that the oblong board may present a stable structure, i.e. the side rail elements will not pivot around a connection point between the side rail elements.
  • the cross-sections of the second portions of the first and second side rail elements may be varied in a number of ways for achieving a periphery of a common cross-section of the overlapping second portions corresponding to a periphery of the cross-section of the first portions of the side rail elements.
  • the cross-section of the second portion of the first side rail element need not be identical to the cross-section of the second portion of the first side rail element.
  • the common cross-section of the overlapping second portions corresponds to the periphery of the cross-section of the first portions of the side rail elements
  • the common cross-section of the overlapping second portions corresponds to the cross-section of the first portions of the side rail elements.
  • the cross-section of the second portion of the first side rail element is identical to the cross-section of the second portion of the second side rail element.
  • first side rail element and the second side rail element may be identically shaped, which may facilitate cost-effective manufacturing of the side rail elements.
  • a thickness of the cross-section of the second portion of the first and second side rail elements may be half of a thickness of the cross-section of the first portion of the first and second side rail elements. This implies that when the second portions of the first and second side rail elements are arranged overlapping each other, the thicknesses of the cross-sections of the second portions stack up to the full thickness of the first portions of the first and second side rail elements.
  • a width of the cross-section of the second portion of the first and second side rail elements is half of a width of the cross-section of the first portion of the first and second side rail elements. This implies that when the second portions of the first and second side rail elements are arranged overlapping each other, the widths of the cross-sections of the second portions stack up to the full width of the first portions of the first and second side rail elements.
  • the first and second side rail elements may be equally long.
  • the oblong board may be symmetrically divided in the first and second side rail elements, which may ensure that the assembled bed base device is aesthetically pleasing.
  • the transport of the disassembled bed base device may be facilitated by the length of the first and second side rail elements being equal.
  • the bed base device 100 comprises end rails forming a head rail 102 and a foot rail 104. Further, first and second side rails 106, 108 connect the head rail 102 to the foot rail 104, such that the head rail 102, foot rail 104, and the side rails 106, 108 together form a substantially rectangular bed frame.
  • the bed frame provides a frame to a bed base 100 that may support a mattress of a bed.
  • the bed base 100 may be realized in several different ways.
  • the bed base 100 may comprise a number of slats 111 as shown in Fig. 1 .
  • the bed base 100 may comprise a box spring.
  • the bed base device 100 may further comprise a center support rail 110, which is arranged to be parallel with the side rails 106, 108.
  • the center support rail 110 may be arranged halfway between the side rails 106, 108 in order to provide further support to the bed base.
  • the bed base device 100 may be arranged to support two mattresses, which are placed side-by-side on the bed base device 100. Each mattress is then placed on a bed base formed between the center support rail 110 and the first and second side rails 106, 108, respectively.
  • the center support rail 110 may alternatively provide extra support under a large mattress arranged on a bed base formed between the first and second side rails 106, 108.
  • the head rail 102 and the foot rail 104 may be formed from two separate elements, respectively. These elements may each be connected at its longitudinal ends to a side rail 106, 108 and the center support rail 110. Hence, the length of the separate elements of the head rail 102 and the foot rail 104 may be limited, which may facilitate transport of the disassembled bed base device 100.
  • the center support rail 110 thus provides a connection point for the separate elements of the head rail 102 and the foot rail 104 allowing the head rail 102 and the foot rail 104 to be divided into these separate elements.
  • the head rail 102 as well as the foot rail 104 may also, just like the side rails 106 and 108, each be formed by a separate first and second rail elements, which are adapted to be connected to each other to together form a head rail 102 and a foot rail 104 which covers the whole head and foot part of the bed base device.
  • FIG. 2 shows a structure for a first side rail 106. It should be realized that both the first and the second side rails 106, 108 may be formed in the same manner. Also, the center support rail 110, the head rail 102 and foot rail 104 may be formed in the same manner. However, for brevity, only one side rail 106 is discussed below.
  • the side rail 106 may comprise a first and a second side rail element 112, 114.
  • the first and second side rail elements 112, 114 are oblong and each comprise a first portion 112a, 114a and a second portion 112b, 114b along a longitudinal direction of the side rail element 112, 114.
  • the first portions 112a, 114a have a cross-section which is larger than a cross-section of the second portions 112b, 114b. Also, the cross-section of the first portion 112a of the first side rail element 112 is equal to the cross-section of the first portion 114a of the second side rail element 114.
  • the length of the second portion 112b of the first side rail element 112 is equal to the length of the second portion 114b of the second side rail element 114. This implies that, as seen in Fig. 3 , the second portions 112b, 114b of the first side rail element 112 and the second side rail element 114 may be arranged overlapping each other in an overlap portion 116 with an end of the second portion 112b of the first side rail element 112 being flush against the first portion 114a of the second side rail element 114 and an end of the second portion 114b of the second side rail element 114 being flush against the first portion 112a of the first side rail element 112.
  • the cross-sections of the second portions 112b, 114b are mutually shaped so that a periphery of a common cross-section of the second portions 112b, 114b when the first and second side rail elements 112, 114 are arranged overlapping each other correspond to a periphery of the cross-section of the first portions 112a, 114a.
  • the first and second side rail elements 112, 114 may thus be arranged to form an oblong board having a uniform periphery along its length.
  • the oblong board may thus in its longitudinal direction be formed by the first portion 112a of the first side rail element 112, the overlap portion 116 and the first portion 114a of the second side rail element 114.
  • the cross-section of the second portions 112b, 114b may be identical.
  • a thickness of the cross-section of the second portion 112b, 114b may thus be half of a thickness of the cross-section of the first portion 112a, 114a.
  • a width of the cross-section of the second portion 112b, 114b may be half of a width of the cross-section of the first portion 112a, 114a.
  • the use of identical cross-sections of the second portions 112b, 114b may be advantageous in allowing a disassembled bed base to be transported in small package(s).
  • the first and second side rail elements 112, 114 may easily be arranged on top of each other forming a common shape that is no longer than the length of one of the first and second side rail elements 112, 114.
  • the first portion 112a of the first side rail element 112 may be arranged on top of the second portion 114b of the second side rail element 114 with the second portion 112b of the first side rail element 112 being on top of the first portion 114a of the second side rail element 114.
  • the first and second side rail elements 112, 114 may form a common shape having the length of one of the side rail elements 112, 114 and a thickness of 1.5 times the thickness of the first portions 112a, 114a.
  • the cross-sections of the second portions 112b, 114b need not be identical.
  • the cross-sections of the second portions 112b, 114b may be varied in a number of ways, while the periphery of the common cross-section is maintained to correspond to the periphery of the cross-section of the first portions 112a, 114a.
  • the cross-section of the second portion 112b of the first side rail element 112 may be L-shaped, while the cross-section of the second portion 114b of the second side rail element 114 is I-shaped so as to form a common cross-section that corresponds to the cross-section of the first portions 112a, 114a.
  • the bed base device 100 may be manufactured as individual parts forming a bed base device kit.
  • the bed base device kit may be packaged into one or several, generally oblong packages for transport to a distributor or a final customer of the bed base device 100.
  • the bed base device kit thereby forms a disassembled bed base device 100, which may be delivered to the final customer in a relatively small package in order to be assembled in the location where the bed base device 100 is finally intended to be used.
  • the side rails 106, 108 are formed by two side rail elements 112, 114 in order to enable the bed base device kit to be delivered in a package having a limited length.
  • the package will still be in a generally oblong shape.
  • transport of the bed base device kit may be substantially simplified, since the limited length of the package makes the package much easier to handle and may also make the package fall into a category of package size that makes shipping of the package cheaper.
  • the length of the side rails 106, 108 and any center support rail 110 may typically be 1.8-2.2 m. Thanks to the use of side rail elements 112, 114 that together form a side rail 106, 108 or a center support rail 110, the bed base device kit may be fitted into a relatively short package that does not need to enclose the entire length of the side rail 106, 108 and any center support rail 110.
  • the side rail elements 112, 114 may be arranged having a length of 1.4 m.
  • the length of the side rail elements 112, 114 may be adapted to a desired size of the package in which the bed base device kit is to be transported or to a dimension set by shipping conditions, such as the size of a pallet.
  • the rail elements 102, 104, 106, 108, 110 may be formed by any material.
  • the rail elements 102, 104, 106, 108, 110 may be shaped as boards making the rail elements 102, 104, 106, 108, 110 suitable to be formed from e.g. homogenous wood boards, or composite materials, such as plywood. It is contemplated that the rail elements 102, 104, 106, 108, 110 may be formed from other materials as well, such as plastic or metal.
  • the bed base device 100 is delivered, step 202, as a bed base device kit.
  • the first and second side rail elements 112, 114 may then be arranged to form an oblong board with the second portions 112b, 114b overlapping each other.
  • the first and second side rail elements 112, 114 may be connected to each other, step 204, in a number of ways known to the person skilled in the art for fixing the first and second side rail elements 112, 114 to each other in the shape of the oblong board.
  • the first and second side rail elements 112, 114 may be connected by screws or nails at least close to the longitudinal ends of the overlap portion 116. This implies that the first and second side rail elements are connected to each other in at least two connection points that are spaced apart from each other along the longitudinal direction of the oblong board. Hence, a strong structure is formed, wherein the side rail elements will not pivot around a connection point.
  • the first and second side rail elements 112, 114 may alternatively or additionally be glued to each other for forming the oblong board.
  • the side rail elements 112, 114 have now been formed into oblong boards constituting side rails 106, 108.
  • the end rails 102, 104 may thus be connected, to the side rails 106, 108, step 206, so as to form a rectangular bed frame.
  • a center support rail 110 may also be connected to the end rails for providing further support to the bed base.
  • the end rails 102, 104 may be connected to the side rails 106, 108 and the center support rail 110 in a number of ways known to the person skilled in the art, e.g. by means of one or more of screws, nails or glue.
  • the bed base may then be arranged in the bed frame, e.g. as slats 111 extending between the side rails 106, 108 or between a side rail 106, 108 and the center support rail 110, as shown in Fig. 1 .
