Definitions
- the invention relates to a height-adjustable bed system, in particular a family bed, with which level lying surfaces can be produced by separately adjusting the height of the beds connected to form a bed system.
- the bed system also enables adaptation to the respective ergometric conditions of the people using it.
- the bed system used in particular, but not exclusively, as a baby and children’s bed comprises a bed attachment with preferably at least one head part, at least one foot part, at least one first side part and/or at least one second side part, which together at least partially surround a lying area suitable for sleeping .
- the bed has a support frame that is modularly constructed with several support elements and on which the bed attachment can be placed. Due to the modular structure, the support frame can be adapted to an enlargement of the lying area.
- a bed system and a kit for the bed or the bed system and a corresponding use of the kit are specified.
- a modular system for producing a bed with a body having four body sections that enclose a lying area of the bed laterally.
- An increased variety of beds and/or reduced production costs result from the fact that the modular system provides vertical supports with different lengths in order to produce base frames for the bed with different heights.
- the invention also relates to a bed that can be manufactured using such a modular system. Using this modular system, base frames can be manufactured variably for different vertical sizes. Another disadvantage of this modular system is that different vertical sizes can be produced. Another disadvantage of this modular system is the lack of the possibility of adjusting the height of the individual beds in a bed system consisting of several single beds.
- U.S. 2005/0273929 A1 described bed frame which is designed to be universally adjustable and in which the adjustment of the bed frame system takes place by means of simple adjustable elements.
- the user is enabled to design a single or multiple bed frames safely and reliably according to spatial delineation requirements, functional necessities, mattress specifications and individual design preferences.
- aspects of the adjustable bed frame may include a main frame, possibly including a plurality of mattress pads.
- the main frame may include frame legs, which may have a plurality of support legs and/or end members.
- the bed frames described are easy to assemble and can be combined with one another in such a way that a large number of single or multi-bed frames can be created whose spatial limitations, functional needs, mattress specifications and individual design preferences correspond to the requirements. With this solution, however, there is no constant possibility of variable height adjustment. After the bed frames have been made, the lying surface that has been reached in each case remains unchangeable.
- the object of the invention is therefore to create a height-adjustable bed system with which an adjustable adjustment of the lying surfaces of the bed system to mattresses of different dimensions is possible and one or more desired lying levels of the at least two single beds of the bed system that are joined together can be variably adjusted.
- the bed system is efficiently designed in such a way that the lying levels of the single beds can be variably and independently adjusted in height.
- the bed frame of the bed system in such a way that it can be variably adjusted vertically. This enables an optimal adjustment of a lying surface that extends over the entire bed system and lies in one plane.
- the vertical adjustability of the bed frame created a Possibility of adapting the different ergometric dimensions of the users created.
- the adjustment of the bed system can also be used to create lying levels of different heights. For example, one of the lying levels can be optimally adjusted for a child and the other lying levels for the parents.
- variable height adjustment of the lying levels of the single beds is carried out by means of mechanical, stepwise height-adjustable holding devices.
- a comfortable and precise variable height adjustment of the lying levels of the single beds is achieved through the use of mechanical, continuously height-adjustable holder devices.
- the variable height adjustment and/or vertical adjustment of the bed frame of the bed system is controlled by an electric motor to great effect.
- the height adjustments of the individual lying levels are made in such a way that the surfaces of differently sized mattresses are brought into one level.
- the adjustment to the ergonomic dimensions of the people using the bed system can be effectively carried out by the vertical adjustment of the bed frame.
- the bed frame is first adjusted vertically to adapt it to the ergonomic dimensions of the people using it, and then the height of the individual lying levels of the single beds is adjusted.
- the design of the adjustment possibility of the bed frame proves to be economically effective, in that vertically adjustable mechanical footrests are attached below the four corner areas of the respective single bed.
- the bed system proves to be a variant that is favorable in terms of material and production when the mechanical footrests have locking mechanisms with which a gradual adjustment of the bed frame is made possible.
- the overall perspective view in the figure 1 shows an embodiment of the bed system according to the invention, in which three single beds 1, 2, 3 are connected to one another.
- two longitudinal beams 4, 5 are inserted between the rear wall 6 and the front parts, which serve to accommodate the slatted frame and the mattresses lying thereon.
- the longitudinal beams 4, 5 With the vertical adjustment of the longitudinal beams 4, 5, the respective height of the bed level is set.
- the longitudinal beams 4, 5 are fastened to the rear wall 6 and to the front parts of the bed system by means of holding devices 9, 10, 11, 12, some of which are attached to their ends.
- the holding devices 9, 10, 11, 12 can be adjusted stepwise or steplessly.
- Adjustable footrests 7, 8 are used for the vertical adjustment of the bed frame.
- Such known footrests 7, 8 can be hydraulic, pneumatic or mechanical.
- Mechanical footrests 7, 8 have gradual locking mechanisms with which a gradual adjustment of the bed frame height takes place.
- these footrests 7, 8 are designed to be controlled.
- By adjusting the bed frame the lying level to be reached is roughly adjusted, which is adapted to the ergonomic dimensions of the people using it.
- the subsequent adjustment of the holding devices 9, 10, 11, 12 enables the fine adjustment of the height of the lying plane extending over the surface of the bed system.
- the graphical representation of figure 2 shows the connection of two single beds 1 with the laterally arranged longitudinal beams 4, 5.
- the holder devices 10, 11 used for adjustment and fastening are introduced.
- These holding devices 10, 11 are provided with vertically offset stepwise breakthroughs that are used to adjust the lying levels.
- the slatted frames and mattresses resting on the longitudinal beams 4, 5 are changed in their altitude.
- the openings are used for the gradual inclusion of holding elements and fix the position that has been set.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht deshalb in der Schaffung eines höhenverstellbaren Bettensystems, mit dem eine verstellbare Anpassung der Liegeflächen des Bettensystems an unterschiedlich dimensionierte Matratzen ermöglicht und dadurch eine oder mehrere gewünschte Liegeebenen der mindestens zwei zusammengefügten Einzelbetten des Bettsystems variabel eingestellt werden können.The object of the invention is therefore to create a height-adjustable bed system with which an adjustable adjustment of the lying surfaces of the bed system to mattresses of different dimensions is possible and one or more desired lying levels of the at least two single beds of the bed system that are joined together can be variably adjusted.
Gelöst wird diese Aufgabe mittels des geschaffenen Bettsystems entsprechend den beschreibenden Merkmalen nach Patentanspruch 1. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen des Bettsystems beschreiben die kennzeichnenden Merkmale der Patentansprüche 2 bis 9.This problem is solved by means of the created bed system according to the descriptive features of
Effizient wird das Bettensystem so gestaltet, dass die Liegeebenen der Einzelbetten variabel und unabhängig voneinander in ihrer Höhenlage verstellt werden können. Dazu besteht die Möglichkeit alternativ oder in Kombination mit dieser Ausgestaltung das Bettgestell des Bettensystems so auszubilden, dass dieses variabel vertikal verstellt werden kann. Dadurch wird eine optimale Einstellung einer über das gesamte Bettensystem reichenden, in einer Ebene liegenden Liegefläche ermöglicht. Zudem wurde durch die vertikale Verstellbarkeit des Bettengestells eine Anpassungsmöglichkeit der unterschiedlichen ergometrischen Abmaße der nutzenden Personen geschaffen. Die Einstellung des Bettensystems kann auch zur Schaffung unterschiedlich hoher Liegeebenen dienen. So können beispielsweise eine der Liegeebenen für ein Kind und die anderen Liegeebenen für die Eltern optimal eingestellt werden. Eine material- und herstellungsseitig vorteilhafte Ausgestaltung des Bettensystems wird erreicht, wenn die variable Höhenverstellung der Liegeebenen der Einzelbetten mittels mechanischer stufenweise höhenverstellbarer Halteeinrichtungen vorgenommen wird. Eine komfortable und genaue variable Höhenverstellung der Liegeebenen der Einzelbetten wird durch die Anwendung von mechanischen stufenlos höhenverstellbaren Haltereinrichtungen erreicht. Effektvoll wird die variable Höhenverstellung und/oder vertikale Verstellung des Bettgestell des Bettensystems elektromotorisch gesteuert vorgenommen. Zwecks Erzielung einer ebenen Liegefläche, werden effektvoll die Höhenverstellungen der einzelnen Liegeebenen so vorgenommen, dass dadurch die Oberflächen unterschiedlich dimensionierter Matratzen in eine Ebene gebracht werden. Wirkungsvoll kann die Anpassung an die ergonomischen Abmaße der nutzenden Personen des Bettensystems durch die vertikale Verstellung des Bettgestells erfolgen. Für die vorteilhafte Anwendung des Bettensystems bei erforderlichen größeren einzustellenden Höhenunterschieden der separaten Liegeebenen wird zuerst eine vertikale Verstellung des Bettgestells zwecks Anpassung an die ergonomischen Abmaße der nutzenden Personen durchgeführt und danach die Höhenverstellung der einzelnen Liegeebenen der Einzelbetten vorgenommen. Ökonomisch effektvoll erweist sich die Ausbildung der Verstellmöglichkeit des Bettengestells, indem unterhalb der vier Eckbereiche des jeweiligen Einzelbettes vertikal verstellbare mechanische Fußstützen angebracht warden. Als eine eine material- und herstellungsmäßig günstige Variante erweist sich das Bettensystem dann, wenn die mechanischen Fußstützen Einrastmechanismen aufweisen, mit denen eine stufenweise Verstellung des Bettengestells ermöglicht wird.The bed system is efficiently designed in such a way that the lying levels of the single beds can be variably and independently adjusted in height. Alternatively or in combination with this configuration, there is the possibility of designing the bed frame of the bed system in such a way that it can be variably adjusted vertically. This enables an optimal adjustment of a lying surface that extends over the entire bed system and lies in one plane. In addition, the vertical adjustability of the bed frame created a Possibility of adapting the different ergometric dimensions of the users created. The adjustment of the bed system can also be used to create lying levels of different heights. For example, one of the lying levels can be optimally adjusted for a child and the other lying levels for the parents. A design of the bed system that is advantageous in terms of material and production is achieved if the variable height adjustment of the lying levels of the single beds is carried out by means of mechanical, stepwise height-adjustable holding devices. A comfortable and precise variable height adjustment of the lying levels of the single beds is achieved through the use of mechanical, continuously height-adjustable holder devices. The variable height adjustment and/or vertical adjustment of the bed frame of the bed system is controlled by an electric motor to great effect. In order to achieve an even lying surface, the height adjustments of the individual lying levels are made in such a way that the surfaces of differently sized mattresses are brought into one level. The adjustment to the ergonomic dimensions of the people using the bed system can be effectively carried out by the vertical adjustment of the bed frame. For the advantageous use of the bed system when it is necessary to set larger height differences between the separate lying levels, the bed frame is first adjusted vertically to adapt it to the ergonomic dimensions of the people using it, and then the height of the individual lying levels of the single beds is adjusted. The design of the adjustment possibility of the bed frame proves to be economically effective, in that vertically adjustable mechanical footrests are attached below the four corner areas of the respective single bed. The bed system proves to be a variant that is favorable in terms of material and production when the mechanical footrests have locking mechanisms with which a gradual adjustment of the bed frame is made possible.
