This can otherwise be designed and it carries in the intended use case a lying surface element, for example a slatted base, which lying surface element in turn serves to receive a mattress, a cushion and / or the like. End of the bed frame end portions are provided, namely a headboard on the one hand and a footboard on the other. These are arranged on one end or on the other end on the bed frame.

A generic bed also has a side rail. In Use position extends this in the longitudinal direction of the bed frame between the headboard on the one hand and foot part on the other. The purpose of such a side rail is to protect a user of the bed from accidentally falling out of bed. For an unhindered entry into the bed, the side rail from the use position in a non-use position can be transferred and vice versa, for which purpose the side rails, for example, is pivotally mounted on the head or foot. It is in the non-use position of the side rail unhindered entry into the bed possible, whereas it fulfills its protective function in the position of use.

A generic bed is from the US 5,511,257 known. This has a bed with a side rail, which is convertible from a position of use in a non-use position. The side rail extends between a head and a foot part. It is also provided as Überkletterungsschutz a replaceable worn by the foot and head parts essay, which is designed as a circumferential frame. This article has two end parts as well as two side parts extending between the end parts.

From the US 3,921,233 Furthermore, a generic bed is known, which has two height-adjustable bed parts. As overclimbing protection is an essay, which is formed in two parts and has two hingedly arranged on a frame lid portions.

Another bed construction is from the US 1,418,541 known. The bed described here has four side parts, which each have pivotally arranged thereon a flap in the manner of a lid.

Generic beds have proven themselves in everyday practice. However, there is a constant effort to provide for improvements, especially in the case of hospital and / or nursing beds to protect the person included in the designated use case. Thus, it has been found, for example, that the heights provided by default of end parts on the one hand and side rails on the other hand are insufficient in the case of corresponding clinical pictures of the person using the bed to ensure adequate protection from overclimbing. In the past, therefore, custom-made special constructions have been used have been consuming and expensive to manufacture.

The object of the invention is therefore to remedy this situation, and to further develop a bed of the generic type, which offers an improved overclimbing protection at the same time simple construction.

To solve this problem, a generic bed is proposed with the invention, which is characterized in that the one side part has a side member which can be transferred from a use position to a non-use position, wherein the side member and the side rails each two pivotally formed relative to each other Have side rail members, wherein the side rail members of the side member and the side rail members of the side rail are each connected to a common hinge strut, which provides a first pivot axis for the one side rail part and a first pivot axis spaced second pivot axis for the other side rail part.

The bed according to the invention has an attachment. In the application, this is placed on the existing end parts of the bed, that is, on the foot and head parts. The article is designed as a peripheral frame and in turn has two end portions and two extending between the end portions side parts. As a result, from the head and foot part on the one hand and side rails on the other hand existing frame construction is increased, that is extended in the vertical direction. In this case, the attachment comprises end parts, each serving for the extension of the head part and the foot part, as well as side parts, which serve the respective extension of a side rail.

The article according to the invention finds particular use in children's beds. The essay provides here the particular advantage that the bed can grow in the height direction depending on the size of the child using the bed. Thus, the bed can initially be used in the basic equipment, with a headboard, a footboard and two side rails are provided as standard. If the child has reached a growth size that allows the child to climb or climb over the bed border, an increase of the bed is carried out with an attachment according to the invention. The protective function for the child to be accommodated by the bed is thus preserved.

The provided according to the embodiment of the invention bed can continue to grow. There are basically two different embodiments conceivable that can also be combined with each other. According to a first embodiment, a plurality of attachable according to the modular principle with an existing bed essays are available. The essays are of different sizes in height, so that in accordance with individual requirements of one or the other essay can be used to increase the bed. For example, three different attachment sizes may be available, so that it is possible to choose between different sizes of the increase. Since the article according to the invention is interchangeable carried by the foot and head parts, a change between the basically available essays can be performed at any time.

According to an alternative embodiment, an already mounted attachment in turn can be supplemented by another attachment. To achieve the desired Bettumrandungshöhe can therefore find a plurality of essays use. Preferably, a standard height is available, so that a desired Bettumrandungshöhe can be formed grid-like using a plurality of such essays in standard height.

The bed design according to the invention is preferably used in children's beds, since the essay height can grow depending on the still changing size of the child, and it is not required in contrast to the prior art to provide for size adjustment a complete bed. According to the invention, a bed can rather be used as an existing bed, which can then be increased depending on the size requirement to be met by the use of one or more attachments in the vertical direction.

The bed according to the invention is preferably not only variable in height direction, but also in the longitudinal direction. For this purpose, the bed frame preferably provides a tube-in-tube system so that the bed frame can either be extended longitudinally or converted by replacement of extension components. As a result, a bed is provided which is variable both in the height direction and in the longitudinal direction.

The inventive design allows a bed remodeling in a simple and therefore cost-effective manner. Furthermore, the handling is particularly user-friendly and it can be made in just a few steps a height adjustment. For this reason too, the embodiment according to the invention proves to be advantageous over the prior art.

The provided as a peripheral frame essay according to the invention has a side part, which in turn according to the invention provides a side member which can be transferred from a use position to a non-use position and vice versa. The side member of the essay can therefore be spent in the same way in a use position or in a non-use position, such as the side rails of the bed. Preferably, in the assembled state, the side element of the attachment comes to lie directly above the associated side rail, so that the side element on the one hand and the side rail on the other hand can be pivoted equally. It is provided in this context according to a further feature of the invention that the side member is pivotally mounted on an end portion. It is therefore provided to deflect the side member at the associated end portion of the essay, whereas in the assembled state the side member associated side rails is hinged to the respective head or foot.

Both the side rail and the side member are inventively formed in two parts and have two relatively mutually pivotable side rail parts. In this case, the side rail parts are each connected to a common hinge strut, which provides a first pivot axis for the one side rail part and an adjacent to the first pivot axis second pivot axis for the other side rail part. The side rails on the one hand and the side member of the essay on the other hand are therefore identical in construction and each have two by means of a common hinge strut coupled side rails parts.

The particular advantage of this embodiment is that the joint strut due to the fact that the pivot axes provided by it are spaced from each other, serves as an intermediate joint part, whereby a pivoting of the side rail members relative to each other by 180 ° is possible, starting from a starting position, in the side rail parts lie in a common plane, both in one and in the other pivoting direction. Thus, a complete swinging the side rail parts in the manner of a concertina is allowed, which not only a complete opening of the associated bed side is allowed, also the side rails or arranged above it in the height direction side element can be moved extremely space-saving in a non-use position and held.

The relative pivotability of the two side rail parts to each other also has the advantage that it is sufficient for a partial opening to pivot only one of the two side rail parts. Such a partial opening can serve, for example, to provide the person lying in bed with food, utensils and / or the like, but at the same time largely uphold the fall protection due to the non-pivoted side rail parts.

It is provided in the manner already explained, that the two pivot axes of a side rail or a side member have a minimum distance from each other, wherein it is preferably provided that the minimum distance corresponds to the geometric dimension of a side rail part in the thickness direction. This embodiment allows pivoting of the two side rail parts by 360 ° to each other, wherein the head or foot or endteilentfernte side rail part can be pivoted in relation to the other side rail part both inwardly and outwardly.

It is provided according to a further feature of the invention that the head and foot parts and the end portions of the attachment each have two posts and an end piece arranged therebetween. Accordingly, both the head and foot parts and the end parts have an end piece. This tail can be designed as a plate made of plastic, Plexiglas or the like or in the form of a grid design with longitudinal and transverse struts. In the direction of the tail is on the left as each provided a post on the right side of the tail, wherein the two posts receive the tail between them.

The posts are each formed according to a further feature of the invention as a round profile element with a centrally aligned channel. This channel serves to receive a hinge pin and / or a connecting bolt.

When using the bed without attachment according to the invention hinge pins are used in the channels of the respective posts, which serve the articulated arrangement of a side rail at the foot or on the headboard. When using an attachment according to the invention, such a hinge pin is replaced on the attachment side by a connecting bolt. The connecting bolt serves to couple the head part or the foot part to the associated end part of the attachment. In the mounted state, the connecting bolt engages at one end in the channel of a post of a foot or end portion and the other end in the channel of a post of an end portion. The end part is plugged by means of the connecting bolt thus on the associated Kopfbeziehungsweise foot, with a play and wobble-free arrangement of the end portion is achieved relative to the associated head or foot by the respective end part provided two connecting pin.

The connecting bolts take in accordance with a further feature of the invention fittings for a side rail and a side member rotatable. By means of this embodiment, the articulated arrangement of both a side rail and a side member at the associated head or foot and the associated end part is achieved.

According to a further feature of the invention, a side rail and an associated side member are formed synchronized motion. This embodiment has the advantage that a pivoting movement of the side rail leads to a simultaneous pivoting of the associated side member and vice versa. On the user side can therefore be taken and moved for a pivoting movement, a side rail, wherein the associated side member is pivoted due to the motion synchronization in conjunction with the side rails with. Likewise, of course, a pivoting movement of the side rail at user-side force introduction into the associated side element. The motion-synchronized coupling Side rails and associated side element can be solved as needed, so that an independent pivoting side rails on the one hand and side element on the other hand is allowed. The coupling element for movement-synchronized connection of the side rail and the side element can be designed, for example, as an H-shaped clamping element, which is inserted with its central web into the frontal gap between the side rail and the side element. The orthogonal to the central web formed webs then ensure a driving of the side rail or the side member, both in a Aufschwenkbewegung as well as a closing movement for transfer to the position of use.

It is further provided according to a further feature of the invention that the side rail parts of both the side grid and the side member each have an extension in the width direction, which falls below the extension of the head or foot portion or an end portion in the width direction. On account of this embodiment, it is advantageously ensured that, when the side grid and / or the side element are pivoted into a non-use position, the side rail or the side element does not protrude beyond the head or foot part or end part onto the other side of the bed. As soon as the bed has an extension in the longitudinal direction, which exceeds twice the transverse dimension lying transversely thereto, it can be provided that the side rail or the side element has more than two, for example three side rail parts, in which case adjacent side rail parts each with a common Articulated strut are arranged pivotable relative to each other.

According to a further feature of the invention, it is provided that at least the side rail parts of the side rail each have a latching part cooperating with a latching receptacle arranged on the bed position. This configuration serves to hold the side rails in the use position in a latched position, so that unintentional pivoting of the side rail is prevented in the non-use position. Due to the movement-synchronized coupling of the side elements with the respectively associated side rails, the latching device provided on the side rail side also acts with respect to a side element coupled to the side rail. As an alternative to this embodiment but also each side element separately trained locking devices may be provided.

The locking receptacle preferably has a spring-loaded detent pin, which engages in the use position of the side rail in a bore formed at one end of a locking lever. Releasing the latching device by latching spinning is only possible from the outside of the bed, so that unlatching of the side screen can not be accomplished by a person lying in bed. In this case, a locking receptacle of the type described above per side gate part is provided, which not only a position assurance of the side rail in the use position, but also in the previously described partially open position of the side rail is made possible, in which the head or Fußteilnahe side rail part is in the locked position, the thereto relatively movable hinged side rail part, however, not.

A user-side method of Rastpinns is preferably possible only after a previous actuation of the locking pin in locking position holding blocking lug. This embodiment has the advantage that the detent pin is blocked in its detent position, that is an unintentional method of Rastpinns is not possible. This provides additional security in terms of fixing the position of the side rail in the use position. The possibility of pivoting the blocking lug is designed so that the user side first perform a pivoting movement of the blocking lug and the blocking lug is to be held in its pivoted position before then in a two-handed release of the locking pin from the detent position can be transferred into the release position.

• In order to transfer a side rail 6 from the use position to an open non-use position, the detent pin 45 is to be moved in the height direction 56 downwards. As a result, the locking lever 50 is released and an extension of the locking part 41 from the locking receptacle 42, thus pivoting the side rail 6 is possible. In order to be able to move the detent pin 45 downward with respect to the height direction 56, the blocking tab 49 is first to be pivoted on the user side in the direction of the base plate 43 of the detent receptacle 42. Only when the blocking lug 49 is in the pivoted position, the locking pin 45 is released, thus a procedure of the same is permitted by the user.

With the construction described above, it is ensured that the opening of a side rail 6 requires at least two successive operations according to different principles, the second depending on the first action being performed and maintained.

To transfer an open side rail 6 from a non-use position to a use position, a method of Rastpinns 45 is not required. As soon as the side rail 6 is transferred to the position of use, the front contour 53 of the locking lever 50 runs on the locking pin 45 located in the locking position, as a result, in the already described manner to a pivoting movement of the locking lever 50, which then leads to this in that the detent lever 50 snaps with its designated bore 52 over the detent pin 45, whereby the in Fig. 14 shown detent position is reached.
