Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a support structure for seating and reclining furniture with a large number of spring elements arranged distributed over a support surface and a large number of cover plates connected to the spring elements, whose sides facing away from the spring elements together form a support surface, the spring elements each having at least three star-shaped spring arms pointing in different directions and the cover plates each have at least three cover plate sections which are elastically connected to one another, the cover plate sections each being connected to a spring arm of a spring element.
  • Such support structures are known as base mattresses, ie for supporting mattresses, for example from DE 20 2009 011148 U1 .
  • Such support structures are also used as a mattress core. Due to the large number of individual spring elements distributed over the support surface, an advantageous, quasi-punctiform support is achieved.
  • the object of the invention is to improve such a support structure.
  • the structure should be inexpensive and easy to manufacture and at the same time have good functionality and high stability.
  • this object is achieved in that the cover plate sections of a cover plate are connected to spring arms of at least two adjacent spring elements.
  • a separate cover plate is not assigned to each individual spring element. Rather, the individual spring elements are connected to one another via the cover plates in that the several cover plate sections of each cover plate are connected to spring arms on at least two adjacent spring elements.
  • the cover plate sections of a large number of cover plates, in particular all cover plates, of the support structure are connected to spring arms of at least two adjacent spring elements.
  • a larger area or the entire support structure thus has the advantages mentioned.
  • All cover plate sections of each of the cover plates are particularly preferably connected to spring arms of other adjacent spring elements.
  • Each cover plate section is therefore assigned its own spring arm of its own adjacent spring element. This results in an advantageous overall structure of spring elements connected to one another in a grid-like manner via the cover plates.
  • the cover plates have four cover plate sections and the spring elements correspondingly have four spring arms pointing in different directions in a star shape.
  • Such a configuration has proven to be particularly advantageous.
  • the spring elements can have a base plate, spring arms extending radially outwards and upwards from the base plate, and connecting sections located at the upper end of the spring arms for connection to a cover plate section.
  • the spring arms are preferably designed in such a way that, under load, they deflect essentially perpendicularly to the plane of the foot plate and have a large spring deflection. This can be achieved, for example, in that the spring arms are first guided radially outwards and then radially back inwards, with the spring arm sections extending radially outwards and the spring sections guided back radially inwards not overlapping when viewed in the spring direction. This results in particularly advantageous spring properties.
  • the cover plates are provided with cover plate sections which are inherently rigid and are connected to the respectively adjacent spring sections via elastic connection sections.
  • the connecting sections can lie in a plane that is closer to the foot section of the spring element than the inherently rigid cover plate sections.
  • connection sections of the support plate that are closer to the foot section of the spring element also result in good deflection properties, in particular also a higher possible spring deflection of the cover plate sections.
  • a first multiplicity of spring elements is connected to a second multiplicity of spring elements in such a way that in each case the underside of a foot section of a spring element is connected to the underside of a foot section of a second spring element and in each case the connecting sections of the two spring elements connected to one another point away from one another for connection to cover plate sections, so that the cover plates connected to these connecting sections form an upper and a lower support surface of the support structure.
  • the foot sections of the spring elements are detachably coupled to one another, in particular via a clip or bayonet connection.
  • the structure can be produced easily and on the other hand, the structure can also be dissolved again later, for example to change the shape of the support structure or to recycle the elements of the support structure by type.
  • the cover plates are detachably connected to the spring elements, in particular via a clip or bayonet connection. This also simplifies production and enables sorted recycling.
  • the support structure has noise-dampening means such as fleece inserts or coatings. This can increase comfort.
  • the spring elements and/or the cover plates preferably consist at least in part of plastic.
  • Individual or all of the spring elements and cover plates can be made of plastic, or spring elements or cover plates that are partially made of plastic, for example coated with plastic, can be used.
  • plastic is light and, on the other hand, versatile in terms of possible shaping.
  • a support structure according to the invention can be used in particular as a base mattress, as a mattress core or as a box spring spring system. The advantages described above result.
  • the support structure shown and described comprises a multiplicity of spring elements 1 distributed over a support surface and a multiplicity of cover plates 2 connected to the spring elements 1.
  • the cover plates 2 have cover plate sections 3 which are connected to one another via elastic connecting sections 4.
  • the cover plate sections 3 together form a support surface of the support structure.
  • the spring elements 1 each have a foot section 5 , spring arms 6 extending radially outwards and upwards therefrom, and connecting sections 7 arranged at the upper end of the spring arms 6 .
  • two spring elements 1 are connected to one another via the underside 8 of their foot sections 5 in such a way that their spring arms 6 extend upwards and downwards in opposite directions.
  • the connecting sections 7 of both spring elements 1 are each connected to cover plates 2 so that overall there is an upper support surface formed by one half of the cover plates 2 and a lower support surface formed by the other half of the cover plates 2 of the support structure.
  • Such a support structure can be used in particular as a mattress core or as a box spring spring system.
  • the undersides 8 of the foot sections 5 of the spring elements 1 are provided with connecting elements 9 which are designed in such a way that the foot sections 5 of two spring elements 1 can be connected to one another in the manner of a bayonet via their undersides 8 .
  • the foot sections 5 can also be connected to one another via a clip connection. In principle, other types of connection are also possible.
  • the spring arms 6 of the spring elements 1 are designed in such a way that one spring arm section 10 is guided radially outwards and upwards away from the foot section 5 and is adjoined by a second spring arm section 11, which again extends radially inwards towards the foot section 5 is returned. In this way it can be ensured that the connecting sections 7 of the spring elements 1 deflect essentially perpendicularly to the foot section 5, ie in the spring direction I.
  • the spring arms 6 are designed in such a way that the sections 10 and 11 mentioned do not overlap, ie do not come to rest on one another during compression. As a result, a high spring deflection is possible.
  • the connecting sections 4 of the cover plates 2 are each designed between two adjacent cover plate sections 3 .
  • the connecting sections 4 run in a plane that is closer to the foot sections 5 of the spring elements 1 than the cover plate sections 3 particularly good deflection properties of the cover plate sections 3, in particular a relatively large deflection height of the cover plate sections 3 relative to one another or when a cover plate section 3 deflects individually.
  • the spring elements 1 can also be provided with only three connecting sections 7 or more than four sections 4 .
  • the spring arms 6 can also have a different shape and not each be connected in pairs to a connecting section 7 .
  • the cover plates 2 and the spring elements 1 are each preferably made of plastic.
  • the cover plates 2 are, as in the Figures 1 to 3 sees, each connected to four adjacent spring elements 1 in that one cover plate section 3 is connected to a connecting section 7 of a spring element 1, while the other cover plate sections 3 of the same cover plate are connected to connecting sections 7 of other spring elements 1.
  • the cover plate sections 3 can deflect individually because they are connected to the other cover plate sections 3 of the respective cover plate 2 via elastic connecting sections 4 and because adjacent cover plates 2 are connected only via the spring elements 1 and otherwise not to one another.
  • the cover plate sections 3 are each elastically supported via their own spring arm 6 of a spring element 1 , with adjacent spring elements 1 being connected to one another only via the cover plates 2 .
  • the entire support structure is constructed in the manner shown.
  • other cover plates can preferably be used in order to support the cover plate sections 3 there as well to ensure the spring elements 1 shown. It is thus possible, for example, to use cover plates 2 with only two cover plate sections 3 which are connected to one another via an elastic connecting section 4 .
  • a support structure can also have areas in which the spring elements 1 are not connected to one another in the manner described, but have cover plates which are only connected to the respective spring element and not to adjacent spring elements.
  • the support structure described can also only be formed on one side, ie without pairs of spring elements connected to one another via their foot section 5 . Accordingly, only one support surface, formed by cover plates 2, is then available.
  • the grid-like connection of the spring elements 1 via the cover plates 2 also results in a stable structure here.
  • Such a structure can be used, for example, as a base mattress. The structure can then be supported via the foot sections 5 of the spring elements 1 on a plate or on correspondingly arranged strips.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Stützstruktur für Sitz- und Liegemöbel mit einer Vielzahl von über eine Stützfläche verteilt angeordneten Federelementen und einer Vielzahl von mit den Federelementen verbundenen Deckplatten, deren von den Federelementen abgewandte Seiten zusammen eine Stützfläche bilden, wobei die Federelemente jeweils mindestens drei sternförmig in unterschiedliche Richtungen weisende Federarme und die Deckplatten jeweils mindestens drei miteinander elastisch verbundene Deckplattenabschnitte aufweisen, wobei die Deckplattenabschnitte jeweils mit einem Federarm eines Federelements verbunden sind.The present invention relates to a support structure for seating and reclining furniture with a large number of spring elements arranged distributed over a support surface and a large number of cover plates connected to the spring elements, whose sides facing away from the spring elements together form a support surface, the spring elements each having at least three star-shaped spring arms pointing in different directions and the cover plates each have at least three cover plate sections which are elastically connected to one another, the cover plate sections each being connected to a spring arm of a spring element.

Derartige Stützstrukturen sind als Untermatratzen, also zur Abstützung von Matratzen bekannt, z.B. aus der DE 20 2009 011148 U1 .Such support structures are known as base mattresses, ie for supporting mattresses, for example from DE 20 2009 011148 U1 .

Auch als Matratzenkern werden derartige Stützstrukturen verwendet. Durch die Vielzahl von über die Stützfläche verteilten einzelnen Federelemente wird eine vorteilhafte, quasi punktförmige Abstützung erreicht.Such support structures are also used as a mattress core. Due to the large number of individual spring elements distributed over the support surface, an advantageous, quasi-punctiform support is achieved.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine derartige Stützstruktur zu verbessern. Insbesondere soll die Struktur kostengünstig und einfach in der Herstellung sein und gleichzeitig eine gute Funktionalität und hohe Stabilität aufweisen.The object of the invention is to improve such a support structure. In particular, the structure should be inexpensive and easy to manufacture and at the same time have good functionality and high stability.

Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Stützstruktur der genannten Art dadurch gelöst, dass die Deckplattenabschnitte einer Deckplatte mit Federarmen von mindestens zwei benachbarten Federelementen verbunden sind.With a support structure of the type mentioned, this object is achieved in that the cover plate sections of a cover plate are connected to spring arms of at least two adjacent spring elements.

Im Gegensatz zu bekannten Stützstrukturen der genannten Art wird also erfindungsgemäß nicht jedem einzelnen Federelement eine eigene Deckplatte zugeordnet. Vielmehr sind die einzelnen Federelemente über die Deckplatten miteinander verbunden, indem die mehreren Deckplattenabschnitte einer jeden Deckplatte mit Federarmen an mindestens zwei benachbarten Federelementen verbunden sind. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine besonders stabile Stützstruktur, die sich dennoch durch gute Federeigenschaften auszeichnet, da die Deckplattenabschnitte nach wie vor einzeln einfedern können und daher eine quasi punktuelle Abstützung gegeben ist; insbesondere wenn in der Ebene der Stützfläche benachbarte Deckplatten nur über ein oder mehrere Federelemente und/oder wenn in der Ebene der Stützfläche benachbarte Federelemente nur über ein oder mehrere Deckplatten miteinander verbunden sind.In contrast to known support structures of the type mentioned, according to the invention a separate cover plate is not assigned to each individual spring element. Rather, the individual spring elements are connected to one another via the cover plates in that the several cover plate sections of each cover plate are connected to spring arms on at least two adjacent spring elements. This results in a particularly stable support structure, which is nevertheless characterized by good spring properties, since the cover plate sections can still deflect individually and therefore a quasi-punctual support is provided; in particular when adjacent cover plates in the plane of the support surface are only connected to one another via one or more spring elements and/or when adjacent spring elements in the plane of the support surface are connected to one another only via one or more cover plates.

Nach einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Deckplattenabschnitte einer Vielzahl von Deckplatten, insbesondere aller Deckplatten, der Stützstruktur mit Federarmen von mindestens zwei benachbarten Federelementen verbunden. Damit weist ein größerer Bereich bzw. die gesamte Stützstruktur die genannten Vorteile auf.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the cover plate sections of a large number of cover plates, in particular all cover plates, of the support structure are connected to spring arms of at least two adjacent spring elements. A larger area or the entire support structure thus has the advantages mentioned.

Besonders bevorzugt sind alle Deckplattenabschnitte jeder der Deckplatten mit Federarmen von jeweils anderen benachbarten Federelementen verbunden. Jedem Deckplattenabschnitt ist also ein eigener Federarm eines eigenen benachbarten Federelements zugeordnet. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine vorteilhafte Gesamtstruktur von gitterartig über die Deckplatten miteinander verbundenen Federelementen.All cover plate sections of each of the cover plates are particularly preferably connected to spring arms of other adjacent spring elements. Each cover plate section is therefore assigned its own spring arm of its own adjacent spring element. This results in an advantageous overall structure of spring elements connected to one another in a grid-like manner via the cover plates.

Nach einer besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weisen die Deckplatten vier Deckplattenabschnitte und die Federelemente entsprechend vier sternförmig in unterschiedliche Richtung weisende Federarme auf. Eine solche Ausgestaltung hat sich als besonders vorteilhaft erwiesen.According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, the cover plates have four cover plate sections and the spring elements correspondingly have four spring arms pointing in different directions in a star shape. Such a configuration has proven to be particularly advantageous.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung können die Federelemente eine Basisplatte, sich radial von der Basisplatte nach außen und oben erstreckende Federarme sowie am oberen Ende der Federarme befindliche Verbindungsabschnitte zur Verbindung mit einem Deckplattenabschnitt aufweisen. Dabei sind die Federarme bevorzugt so ausgebildet, dass sie bei Belastung im Wesentlichen senkrecht zur Ebene der Fußplatte einfedern und einen großen Federweg aufweisen. Dies kann beispielsweise dadurch erreicht werden, dass die Federarme zunächst radial nach außen und dann radial zurück nach innen geführt werden, wobei sich die nach radial außen erstreckenden Federarmabschnitte mit den radial nach innen zurückgeführten Federabschnitten in Federrichtung betrachtet nicht überlappen. Hierdurch ergeben sich besonders vorteilhafte Federeigenschaften.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the spring elements can have a base plate, spring arms extending radially outwards and upwards from the base plate, and connecting sections located at the upper end of the spring arms for connection to a cover plate section. The spring arms are preferably designed in such a way that, under load, they deflect essentially perpendicularly to the plane of the foot plate and have a large spring deflection. This can be achieved, for example, in that the spring arms are first guided radially outwards and then radially back inwards, with the spring arm sections extending radially outwards and the spring sections guided back radially inwards not overlapping when viewed in the spring direction. This results in particularly advantageous spring properties.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Deckplatten mit Deckplattenabschnitten versehen, die in sich steif ausgebildet und über elastische Verbindungsabschnitte mit den jeweils benachbarten Federabschnitten verbunden sind. Dabei können die Verbindungsabschnitte in Bezug auf die Federrichtung betrachtet in einer Ebene liegen, die dem Fußabschnitt des Federelementes näher ist als die in sich steifen Deckplattenabschnitte. Die Federabschnitte formen dadurch eine stabile Stützfläche, können jedoch einander gegenüber einzeln einfedern, wodurch sich eine hohe Punktelastizität der gesamten Stützfläche der Stützstruktur ergibt.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the cover plates are provided with cover plate sections which are inherently rigid and are connected to the respectively adjacent spring sections via elastic connection sections. Viewed in relation to the spring direction, the connecting sections can lie in a plane that is closer to the foot section of the spring element than the inherently rigid cover plate sections. As a result, the spring sections form a stable support surface, but can individually deflect in relation to one another, resulting in high point elasticity of the entire support surface of the support structure.

Auch durch die dem Fußabschnitt des Federelements näher gelegenen Verbindungsabschnitte der Stützplatte ergeben sich gute Einfederungseigenschaften, insbesondere auch ein höherer möglicher Federweg der Deckplattenabschnitte.The connection sections of the support plate that are closer to the foot section of the spring element also result in good deflection properties, in particular also a higher possible spring deflection of the cover plate sections.

Nach einer ebenfalls besonders bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist eine erste Vielzahl von Federelementen mit einer zweiten Vielzahl von Federelementen derart verbunden, dass jeweils die Unterseite eines Fußabschnitt eines Federelements mit der Unterseite eines Fußabschnitt eines zweiten Federelements verbunden ist und jeweils die Verbindungsabschnitte der beiden miteinander verbundenen Federelemente zur Verbindung mit Deckplattenabschnitten voneinander wegweisen, sodass die mit diesen Verbindungsabschnitten verbundenen Deckplatten eine obere und eine untere Stützfläche der Stützstruktur bilden. Hierdurch ergibt sich eine Stützstruktur, die besonders vorteilhaft als Matratzenkern oder als Boxspringfederung eingesetzt werden kann.According to a likewise particularly preferred embodiment of the invention, a first multiplicity of spring elements is connected to a second multiplicity of spring elements in such a way that in each case the underside of a foot section of a spring element is connected to the underside of a foot section of a second spring element and in each case the connecting sections of the two spring elements connected to one another point away from one another for connection to cover plate sections, so that the cover plates connected to these connecting sections form an upper and a lower support surface of the support structure. This results in a support structure that can be used particularly advantageously as a mattress core or as a box spring suspension.

Nach einer vorteilhaften Weiterbildung dieser Ausgestaltung sind die Fußabschnitte der Federelemente lösbar miteinander gekoppelt, insbesondere über eine Clips- oder Bajonettverbindung. Zum einen kann die Struktur dadurch einfach hergestellt werden und zum anderen kann die Struktur später auch wieder aufgelöst werden, beispielsweise um die Form der Stützstruktur zu ändern oder um die Elemente der Stützstruktur sortenrein zu recyceln.According to an advantageous development of this embodiment, the foot sections of the spring elements are detachably coupled to one another, in particular via a clip or bayonet connection. On the one hand, the structure can be produced easily and on the other hand, the structure can also be dissolved again later, for example to change the shape of the support structure or to recycle the elements of the support structure by type.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind die Deckplatten lösbar mit den Federelementen verbunden, insbesondere über eine Clips- oder Bajonettverbindung. Auch dies erleichtert die Herstellung und ermöglicht ein sortenreines Recyceln.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the cover plates are detachably connected to the spring elements, in particular via a clip or bayonet connection. This also simplifies production and enables sorted recycling.

Nach einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung weist die Stützstruktur geräuschdämpfende Mittel wie Vlieseinlagen oder Beschichtungen auf. Der Komfort kann dadurch erhöht werden.According to a further embodiment of the invention, the support structure has noise-dampening means such as fleece inserts or coatings. This can increase comfort.

Die Federelemente und/oder die Deckplatten bestehen zumindest zum Teil bevorzugt aus Kunststoff. Dabei können einzelne oder alle Federelemente und Deckplatten aus Kunststoff bestehen, oder es können Federelemente oder Deckplatten Verwendung finden, die zum Teil aus Kunststoff bestehen, beispielsweise mit Kunststoff beschichtet sind. Kunststoff ist einerseits leicht und andererseits vielseitig hinsichtlich der möglichen Formgebung.The spring elements and/or the cover plates preferably consist at least in part of plastic. Individual or all of the spring elements and cover plates can be made of plastic, or spring elements or cover plates that are partially made of plastic, for example coated with plastic, can be used. On the one hand, plastic is light and, on the other hand, versatile in terms of possible shaping.

Eine erfindungsgemäße Stützstruktur kann insbesondere als Untermatratze, als Matratzenkern oder als Boxspringfederung Verwendung finden. Es ergeben sich die oben geschilderten Vorteile.A support structure according to the invention can be used in particular as a base mattress, as a mattress core or as a box spring spring system. The advantages described above result.

Die dargestellte und beschriebene Stützstruktur umfasst eine Vielzahl von über eine Stützfläche verteilt angeordneten Federelementen 1 und eine Vielzahl von mit den Federelementen 1 verbundenen Deckplatten 2. Die Deckplatten 2 weisen Deckplattenabschnitte 3 auf, die miteinander über elastische Verbindungsabschnitte 4 verbunden sind. Die Deckplattenabschnitte 3 bilden gemeinsam eine Stützfläche der Stützstruktur.The support structure shown and described comprises a multiplicity of spring elements 1 distributed over a support surface and a multiplicity of cover plates 2 connected to the spring elements 1. The cover plates 2 have cover plate sections 3 which are connected to one another via elastic connecting sections 4. The cover plate sections 3 together form a support surface of the support structure.

Die Federelemente 1 weisen jeweils einen Fußabschnitt 5, sich von diesem radial nach außen und oben erstreckende Federarme 6 und am oberen Ende der Federarme 6 angeordnete Verbindungsabschnitte 7 auf. Wie man in Fig. 1 bis 3 sieht, sind jeweils zwei Federelemente 1 über die Unterseite 8 ihrer Fußabschnitte 5 derart miteinander verbunden, dass sich ihre Federarme 6 in entgegengesetzte Richtungen nach oben und unten erstrecken. Die Verbindungsabschnitte 7 beider Federelemente 1 sind jeweils mit Deckplatten 2 verbunden, sodass sich insgesamt eine durch die eine Hälfte der Deckplatten 2 gebildete obere Stützfläche und eine durch die andere Hälfte der Deckplatten 2 gebildete untere Stützfläche der Stützstruktur ergibt. Eine solche Stützstruktur ist insbesondere als Matratzenkern oder als Boxspringfederung einsetzbar.The spring elements 1 each have a foot section 5 , spring arms 6 extending radially outwards and upwards therefrom, and connecting sections 7 arranged at the upper end of the spring arms 6 . how to get in Figures 1 to 3 sees, two spring elements 1 are connected to one another via the underside 8 of their foot sections 5 in such a way that their spring arms 6 extend upwards and downwards in opposite directions. The connecting sections 7 of both spring elements 1 are each connected to cover plates 2 so that overall there is an upper support surface formed by one half of the cover plates 2 and a lower support surface formed by the other half of the cover plates 2 of the support structure. Such a support structure can be used in particular as a mattress core or as a box spring spring system.

Wie man in Fig. 4 sieht, sind die Unterseiten 8 der Fußabschnitte 5 der Federelemente 1 mit Verbindungselementen 9 versehen, die derart ausgebildet sind, dass die Fußabschnitte 5 zweier Federelemente 1 über ihre Unterseiten 8 bajonettartig miteinander verbunden werden können. Alternativ können die Fußabschnitte 5 auch über eine Clipsverbindung miteinander verbunden werden. Auch andere Verbindungsarten sind grundsätzlich möglich.how to get in 4 sees, the undersides 8 of the foot sections 5 of the spring elements 1 are provided with connecting elements 9 which are designed in such a way that the foot sections 5 of two spring elements 1 can be connected to one another in the manner of a bayonet via their undersides 8 . Alternatively, the foot sections 5 can also be connected to one another via a clip connection. In principle, other types of connection are also possible.

Wie man in den Figuren sieht, sind die Federarme 6 der Federelemente 1 so ausgebildet, dass jeweils ein Federarmabschnitt 10 radial nach außen und oben vom Fußabschnitt 5 weggeführt ist und hieran ein zweiter Federarmabschnitt 11 anschließt, der wieder radial nach innen in Richtung auf den Fußabschnitt 5 zurückgeführt ist. Hierdurch kann gewährleistet werden, dass die Verbindungsabschnitte 7 der Federelemente 1 im Wesentlichen senkrecht zum Fußabschnitt 5, also in Federrichtung I einfedern. Zudem sind die Federarme 6 so ausgebildet, dass sich die genannten Abschnitte 10 und 11 nicht überlappen, beim Einfedern also nicht aufeinander zum Liegen kommen. Hierdurch ist ein hoher Federweg möglich.As can be seen in the figures, the spring arms 6 of the spring elements 1 are designed in such a way that one spring arm section 10 is guided radially outwards and upwards away from the foot section 5 and is adjoined by a second spring arm section 11, which again extends radially inwards towards the foot section 5 is returned. In this way it can be ensured that the connecting sections 7 of the spring elements 1 deflect essentially perpendicularly to the foot section 5, ie in the spring direction I. In addition, the spring arms 6 are designed in such a way that the sections 10 and 11 mentioned do not overlap, ie do not come to rest on one another during compression. As a result, a high spring deflection is possible.

Wie man in den Fig. 1 bis 3 sieht, sind die Verbindungsabschnitte 4 der Deckplatten 2 jeweils zwischen zwei benachbarten Deckplattenabschnitten 3 ausgeführt. Die Verbindungsabschnitte 4 verlaufen dabei in einer Ebene, die den Fußabschnitten 5 der Federelemente 1 näher ist als die Deckplattenabschnitte 3. Dadurch ergeben sich besonders gute Einfederungseigenschaften der Deckplattenabschnitte 3, insbesondere eine relativ große Einfederhöhe der Deckplattenabschnitte 3 relativ zueinander bzw. beim einzelnen Einfedern eines Deckplattenabschnitts 3.How to get into the Figures 1 to 3 sees, the connecting sections 4 of the cover plates 2 are each designed between two adjacent cover plate sections 3 . The connecting sections 4 run in a plane that is closer to the foot sections 5 of the spring elements 1 than the cover plate sections 3 particularly good deflection properties of the cover plate sections 3, in particular a relatively large deflection height of the cover plate sections 3 relative to one another or when a cover plate section 3 deflects individually.

Anstelle von vier einzelnen Deckplattenabschnitten 3 können auch nur drei einzelne Deckplattenabschnitte oder mehr als vier Deckplattenabschnitte vorgesehen sein. Auch die Federelemente 1 können mit nur drei Verbindungsabschnitten 7 oder mehr als vier Abschnitten 4 versehen sein. Auch können die Federarme 6 eine andere Form aufweisen und nicht jeweils paarweise mit einem Verbindungsabschnitt 7 verbunden sein. Die Deckplatten 2 und die Federelemente 1 bestehen jeweils bevorzugt aus Kunststoff.Instead of four individual cover plate sections 3, only three individual cover plate sections or more than four cover plate sections can also be provided. The spring elements 1 can also be provided with only three connecting sections 7 or more than four sections 4 . The spring arms 6 can also have a different shape and not each be connected in pairs to a connecting section 7 . The cover plates 2 and the spring elements 1 are each preferably made of plastic.

Die Deckplatten 2 sind, wie man in den Fig. 1 bis 3 sieht, jeweils mit vier benachbarten Federelementen 1 verbunden, indem jeweils ein Deckplattenabschnitt 3 mit einem Verbindungsabschnitt 7 eines Federelementes 1 verbunden ist, während die anderen Deckplattenabschnitte 3 derselben Deckplatte mit Verbindungsabschnitten 7 von anderen Federelementen 1 verbunden sind. Dadurch ergibt sich eine gitterartige Verbindung bzw. Verstrebung zwischen den benachbarten Federelementen 1 über die Deckplatten 2. Die Stützstruktur erhält hierdurch eine hohe Festigkeit. Dennoch können die Deckplattenabschnitte 3 jeweils einzeln einfedern, da sie mit den anderen Deckplattenabschnitten 3 der jeweiligen Deckplatte 2 über elastische Verbindungsabschnitte 4 verbunden sind und da benachbarte Deckplatten 2 nur über die Federelemente 1 und ansonsten nicht miteinander verbunden sind. Zudem sind die Deckplattenabschnitte 3 jeweils über einen eigenen Federarm 6 eines Federelementes 1 elastisch abgestützt, wobei benachbarte Federelemente 1 nur über die Deckplatten 2 miteinander verbunden sind.The cover plates 2 are, as in the Figures 1 to 3 sees, each connected to four adjacent spring elements 1 in that one cover plate section 3 is connected to a connecting section 7 of a spring element 1, while the other cover plate sections 3 of the same cover plate are connected to connecting sections 7 of other spring elements 1. This results in a lattice-like connection or strut between the adjacent spring elements 1 via the cover plates 2. This gives the support structure a high level of strength. Nevertheless, the cover plate sections 3 can deflect individually because they are connected to the other cover plate sections 3 of the respective cover plate 2 via elastic connecting sections 4 and because adjacent cover plates 2 are connected only via the spring elements 1 and otherwise not to one another. In addition, the cover plate sections 3 are each elastically supported via their own spring arm 6 of a spring element 1 , with adjacent spring elements 1 being connected to one another only via the cover plates 2 .

Besonders bevorzugt ist es, wenn die gesamte Stützstruktur in der dargestellten Weise aufgebaut ist. Im Randbereich können bevorzugt andere Deckplatten verwendet werden, um auch dort eine Abstützung der Deckplattenabschnitte 3 über die dargestellten Federelemente 1 zu gewährleisten. Es können also beispielsweise Deckplatten 2 mit nur zwei Deckplattenabschnitten 3 verwendet werden, die über einen elastischen Verbindungsabschnitt 4 miteinander verbunden sind. Eine Stützstruktur kann aber auch Bereiche aufweisen, in welchen die Federelemente 1 nicht in der beschriebenen Weise miteinander verbunden sind, sondern Deckplatten aufweisen, die nur mit dem jeweiligen Federelement und nicht mit benachbarten Federelementen verbunden sind.It is particularly preferred if the entire support structure is constructed in the manner shown. In the edge area, other cover plates can preferably be used in order to support the cover plate sections 3 there as well to ensure the spring elements 1 shown. It is thus possible, for example, to use cover plates 2 with only two cover plate sections 3 which are connected to one another via an elastic connecting section 4 . However, a support structure can also have areas in which the spring elements 1 are not connected to one another in the manner described, but have cover plates which are only connected to the respective spring element and not to adjacent spring elements.

Die beschriebene Stützstruktur kann auch nur einseitig ausgebildet sein, also ohne über ihren Fußabschnitt 5 miteinander verbundene Federelementpaare. Dementsprechend ist dann auch nur eine Stützfläche, gebildet durch Deckplatten 2, vorhanden. Durch die gitterartige Verbindung der Federelemente 1 über die Deckplatten 2 ergibt sich auch hier eine stabile Struktur. Eine solche Struktur kann beispielsweise als Untermatratze eingesetzt werden. Die Struktur kann sich dann über die Fußabschnitte 5 der Federelemente 1 auf einer Platte oder auf entsprechend angeordneten Leisten abstützen.The support structure described can also only be formed on one side, ie without pairs of spring elements connected to one another via their foot section 5 . Accordingly, only one support surface, formed by cover plates 2, is then available. The grid-like connection of the spring elements 1 via the cover plates 2 also results in a stable structure here. Such a structure can be used, for example, as a base mattress. The structure can then be supported via the foot sections 5 of the spring elements 1 on a plate or on correspondingly arranged strips.
