The cross-section of this is in the shape of a question mark and its leg (18) is fixed to the bar by a screw (28). Its head has a blind hole (38) in which the end of the slat is held.The leg has vertical ribs (34) to stiffen it and it has a shoulder (22) which rests on the upper surface (24) of the bar. The screw engages in a groove (16) in the bar and its position is adjustable.

Description

La présente invention a pour objet un élément support élastique de lattes pour un sommier de couchage.The subject of the present invention is an elastic support element for slats for a bed base.

Un sommier à lattes est généralement composé d'un cadre entre les barres longitudinales duquel sont disposées des lattes, transversalement.A slatted base is generally composed of a frame between the longitudinal bars of which slats are arranged, transversely.

Ces lattes sont soit emboîtées directement dans des logements ménagés dans le cadre, soit disposées dans des embouts, généralement en matériau élastomère rapportés sur ledit cadre.These slats are either fitted directly into housings formed in the frame, or arranged in end caps, generally made of elastomeric material attached to said frame.

On sait par ailleurs que les lattes sont comprimées de façon à être légèrement bombées ce qui confère à l'ensemble des qualités élastiques.We also know that the slats are compressed so as to be slightly curved, which gives all of the elastic qualities.

La densité des lattes, leur épaisseur, leur largeur et la nature du matériau utilisé permet de varier à l'infini les qualités d'amortissement de ce type de sommier.The density of the slats, their thickness, their width and the nature of the material used makes it possible to vary infinitely the damping qualities of this type of box spring.

Les cadres de lit sont réalisés à partir de tubes soudés entre eux avec pliage préalable éventuel.The bed frames are made from tubes welded together with possible prior folding.

Afin d'augmenter la rigidité du cadre et supprimer les déformations, certains modes de réalisation prévoient d'utiliser des barres issues de profilés, notamment en aluminium qui, de plus, facilitent le montage, évite les reprises et les usinages ultérieurs tout en ayant une rigidité meilleure pour un poids moins élevé.In order to increase the rigidity of the frame and eliminate deformations, certain embodiments provide for the use of bars from profiles, in particular aluminum which, moreover, facilitate assembly, avoids rework and subsequent machining while having a better rigidity for a lower weight.

Ces profilés ont généralement des rainures et des pièces d'angle qui permettent d'assembler entre elles les barres longitudinales et transversales du cadre.These profiles generally have grooves and corner pieces which allow the longitudinal and transverse bars of the frame to be assembled together.

Il se trouve que les embouts connus actuellement ne s'adaptent pas sur de tels cadres, qu'ils soient issus de profilés aluminium ou bien même réalisés en bois et usinés. It turns out that the tips currently known do not fit on such frames, whether they come from aluminum profiles or even made of wood and machined.

Aussi, la présente invention propose un élément support élastique de latte, qui peut s'adapter sur tout type de cadre, y compris les cadres réalisés à partir de profilés et, notamment dans ce cas, les élé- ments sont prévus pour être réglables afin de faire varier la densité des lattes par rapprochement des éléments support entre eux, localement.Also, the present invention provides an elastic support element for slats, which can be adapted to any type of frame, including frames made from profiles and, in particular in this case, the elements are designed to be adjustable so to vary the density of the slats by bringing the support elements together, locally.

D'autre part, ces éléments présentent l'avantage d'une excellente fixation en pied tout en autorisant une déformation élastique en tête, cette déformation étant parfaitement contrôlable.On the other hand, these elements have the advantage of excellent fixation at the bottom while allowing elastic deformation at the head, this deformation being perfectly controllable.

Le prix de revient des éléments selon l'invention est peu élevé car ils sont venus de moulage et réalisés à partir de matériaux de synthèse.The cost price of the elements according to the invention is low because they came from molding and produced from synthetic materials.

Un autre avantage de ce type d'élément est celui de jouer le rôle de ressort et non pas de simple support comme les embouts de type connu. Ce type d'amortissement correspond plus à l'effet d'un ressort à lame qu'à celui d'un coussinet amortisseur. Les effets obtenus résultent de la combinaison de la forme de l'élément et de la matière utilisée.Another advantage of this type of element is that of playing the role of spring and not of simple support like the end caps of known type. This type of damping corresponds more to the effect of a leaf spring than to that of a damping pad. The effects obtained result from the combination of the shape of the element and the material used.

L'élément de support élastique de lattes selon l'invention, prévu pour un sommier de couchage comprend des barres latérales formant un cadre et se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'il a une section en forme de point d'interrogation, le pied étant fixé sur la barre correspondante du cadre et la tête étant prévue pour recevoir l'extrémité de la latte correspondante de façon à assurer une fonction de support élastique.The elastic slat support element according to the invention, intended for a sleeping base comprises lateral bars forming a frame and is essentially characterized in that it has a section in the form of a question mark, the foot being fixed on the corresponding bar of the frame and the head being provided to receive the end of the corresponding slat so as to ensure an elastic support function.

Selon une autre caractéristique, le pied comprend au moins deux nervures verticales, rigidificatrices.According to another characteristic, the foot comprises at least two vertical, stiffening ribs.

Le pied comprend également un épaulement prévu pour coopérer en appui sur la face supérieure de la barre qui reçoit ledit élément. The foot also includes a shoulder intended to cooperate in abutment on the upper face of the bar which receives said element.

Selon un mode de réalisation principal de l'invention, l'élément comprend un logement borgne dont les dimensions intérieures correspondent aux dimensions extérieures de la latte supportée par cette tête.According to a main embodiment of the invention, the element comprises a blind housing whose internal dimensions correspond to the external dimensions of the slat supported by this head.

Cet élément comprend en outre des moyens de fixation et, dans le cas des barres de type profilé, ces moyens de fixation coopèrent avec les rainures de ces profilés de façon à permettre des réglages le long des barres longitudinales du cadre.This element further comprises fixing means and, in the case of profile type bars, these fixing means cooperate with the grooves of these profiles so as to allow adjustments along the longitudinal bars of the frame.

L'invention est décrite ci-après selon un mode de réalisation principal et en regard des dessins an nexés sur lesquels - la figure 1 représente une vue en perspective d'une portion de cadre sur laquelle est monté un élément support élastique selon l'invention, et - la figure 2 représente une vue en coupe transversale dudit embout par un plan vertical médian.The invention is described below according to a main embodiment and with reference to the appended drawings in which - Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a frame portion on which is mounted an elastic support element according to the invention , and - Figure 2 shows a cross-sectional view of said tip by a median vertical plane.

Sur la figure 1 on a représenté l'élément support élastique 10, monté sur la barre 12 d'un cadre 14.FIG. 1 shows the elastic support element 10, mounted on the bar 12 of a frame 14.

La barre 12 est réalisée à partir d'un profilé en aluminium creux comportant deux rainures symétriques 16, orientées vers l'intérieur du cadre.The bar 12 is produced from a hollow aluminum profile comprising two symmetrical grooves 16, oriented towards the inside of the frame.

L'élément support élastique 10 a une section en forme de point d'interrogation et comprend un pied 18 et une tête 20.The elastic support element 10 has a section in the form of a question mark and comprises a foot 18 and a head 20.

Le pied comprend un épaulement 22, destiné à coopérer avec la face supérieure 24 de la barre 12, tandis que le pied proprement dit 26 est solidarisé à la barre 12 par des moyens de fixation 28.The foot comprises a shoulder 22, intended to cooperate with the upper face 24 of the bar 12, while the foot proper 26 is secured to the bar 12 by fixing means 28.

Ces moyens de fixation 28 comprennent, ainsi que cela est mieux représenté sur la figure 2, une vis 30 et un écrou 32, cet écrou 32 étant prévu pour coopérer avec la rainure supérieure 16 de la barre. These fixing means 28 comprise, as is better represented in FIG. 2, a screw 30 and a nut 32, this nut 32 being designed to cooperate with the upper groove 16 of the bar.

De plus, le pied comprend des nervures 34, rigidificatrices, qui empêchent toute déformation, notamment à la liaison 36 entre le pied 18 et la tête 20.In addition, the foot comprises stiffening ribs 34 which prevent any deformation, in particular at the connection 36 between the foot 18 and the head 20.

La tête 20 comprend un logement borgne 38, dont les dimensions intérieures correspondent aux dimensions extérieures d'une latte 40, ce logement borgne se prolongeant sensiblement au droit des nervures 34 du pied 18.The head 20 comprises a blind housing 38, the internal dimensions of which correspond to the external dimensions of a slat 40, this blind housing extending substantially in line with the ribs 34 of the foot 18.

Ainsi que cela est mieux représenté sur la figure 2, la partie courbe arrière 42 de la tête est une partie pleine et c'est l'ensemble nervure-élasticité propre du matériau qui assure les qualités de reprise élastique de l'élément 10.As is better represented in FIG. 2, the rear curved part 42 of the head is a solid part and it is the own rib-elasticity assembly of the material which ensures the elastic recovery qualities of the element 10.

Sur la figure 2, on a également représenté de façon schématique un cadre de lit 50, prévu pour recevoir le cadre 14 du sommier.In Figure 2, there is also shown schematically a bed frame 50, intended to receive the frame 14 of the bed base.

Les dimensions de l'élément 10 sont telles que la partie arrière correspondant à la courbure 42 de la tête 20 se situe dans l'encombrement du cadre de lit 50.The dimensions of the element 10 are such that the rear part corresponding to the curvature 42 of the head 20 is located in the space taken up by the bed frame 50.

L'élément de support élastique qui vient d'être décrit est réalisé à partir de matériaux de synthèse et plus particulièrement de matière plastique et il est venu de moulage en une seule pièce.The elastic support element which has just been described is produced from synthetic materials and more particularly from plastic material and it is molded in one piece.

La raideur de cet élément de support élastique est obtenue en combinant la nature du matériau lui-même avec les épaisseurs et le nombre des nervures.The stiffness of this elastic support element is obtained by combining the nature of the material itself with the thicknesses and the number of ribs.

Ceci permet d'obtenir l'effet de ressort évoqué dans le préambule. This makes it possible to obtain the spring effect mentioned in the preamble.
